Diversified Financials recorded a growth of 988%YoY primarily driven by the growth in LOLC (7,781%YoY) boosted by net other income and PLC (2,936%) owing to the reduction in impairment.
Food, Beverage and Tobacco sector earnings grew 669% YoY to Rs 16.7 bn led by MELS, NESTBUKI and CARS. MEL’s earnings spiked by 255% YoY due to increase in other income and lower taxation rate.
Capital goods sector too witnessed a growth of 214% YoY benefited from remarkable performance in HAYL (1,417%) due to the strong performance in Hand Protection and Consumer and Retail segments while also benefiting from currency depreciation.
Further the sector was benefited by TILE (962%YoY), LWL (1,753%) and RCL (330%YoY) supported by the import restrictions. Banks witnessed a 70% YoY growth in earnings to record at Rs 24.8 bn primarily driven by COMB (79%YoY), SAMP (91%) and HNB (55%).
