Engro Powergen Qadirpur Limited (EPQL) is expected to report a 4QCY24 earnings per share (EPS) of PKR 1.26 and a full-year EPS of PKR 10.14. The company’s revenue is projected to grow by 31% YoY due to increased energy payments and demand, but it is expected to decline 19% QoQ due to seasonal factors affecting power generation.

Profit after tax (PAT): PKR 407Mn (▲4.9x YoY, ▼68% QoQ)
Final dividend per share (DPS): PKR 1.5 (full-year DPS: PKR 7.5)
Finance income: PKR 229Mn (▲43% YoY, ▼2% QoQ)
The decline in quarterly profits is primarily due to a lower load factor affecting revenue. However, annual performance remains strong, supported by higher operating profit and finance income.
