Nishat Power Limited (PSX: NPL) reported profit after tax of Rs 541.4 million in its unaudited results for the quarter to September 2026. The financial results were filed on Tuesday, 27 October 2026.

Profit before and after tax
Profit before tax stood at Rs 598.5 million for the quarter to September 2026. Profit after tax, the amount left after taxation, was Rs 541.4 million.

Basis not stated by the source figures as reported to PSX; each change is against the same period a year before, computed by code.
Earlier dividend was followed by none
Nishat Power had announced a cash dividend on 28 Sep 2026. The latest board recommendation brings no new cash dividend, marking a change from that earlier payout announcement.
That payout history does not establish a trend in quarterly earnings. Without matching profit figures for the same period a year earlier or the preceding quarter, the latest profit cannot be described as higher or lower.
Profit is separate from a payout
In plain terms, Nishat Power reported a profit for the quarter, but that does not mean shareholders receive a cash payment with these results. Earnings per share describes the reported profit attributable to each share, not a dividend.
The figures provide a snapshot of the company's quarterly performance. They do not, on their own, show whether its business improved or weakened against an earlier period.
No new shareholder entitlement
The filing lists no cash dividend, bonus shares, right shares or other entitlement. Shareholders therefore receive no new distribution under this announcement.
The supplied material gives no book-closure dates for these results. The table below sets out the payouts on file, including the earlier cash-dividend announcement.
