✧ GENERATE BRIEFING
Searle recommends a 10% cash dividend after FY26 standalone profit rose to PKR 4.00 billion. Review revenue, EPS, consolidated figures and AGM details. The Searle Company Limited’s Board of Directors met in Karachi on September 25, 2026, approving the financial results for the year ended June 30, 2026. The company recommended a cash dividend of PKR 1.00 per share (10%). On a standalone basis, revenue grew to PKR 31.64 billion and profit after tax surged to PKR 4.00 billion, aided by brand sale proceeds and lower finance costs.
