Karachi, September 16, 2025 – The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has announced an impressive 48% surge in profit for the fiscal year 2024-25, reflecting the robust trading momentum and increased investor participation witnessed throughout the year.
According to the consolidated financial results, PSX earned a profit of Rs1.52 billion for the year ending June 30, 2025, compared to Rs1.03 billion in the previous fiscal year. This remarkable profit growth was largely supported by higher trading volumes and improved operational efficiency.
The exchange’s total revenue climbed to Rs2.46 billion during the year under review, up from Rs2.12 billion a year earlier. A major contributor to this revenue was income from exchange operations, which rose sharply to Rs1.42 billion from Rs1.02 billion, signaling a positive trend in the overall capital market.
On the expenditure side, administrative expenses increased slightly to Rs2.06 billion from Rs2 billion, reflecting inflationary pressures and operational expansion. Meanwhile, income tax payments saw a sharp jump, rising to Rs230 million in FY25 from Rs63 million in FY24, as profitability expanded.
The board of PSX also approved a final cash dividend of Rs1.7 per share, equivalent to 17%, for shareholders. Analysts noted that the sustained profit growth underscores strong investor confidence, while the dividend payout highlights the management’s commitment to rewarding stakeholders.
Market experts believe that with continued economic recovery, PSX is well-positioned to maintain its profit momentum in the upcoming fiscal year.
