Oil Giant Delivers Record Numbers and Big Cash Returns
Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDC) just delivered a massive fiscal year. Net profit soared to an all-time high of Rs. 242.37 billion. That’s up nearly 43% from last year’s performance. Earnings per share jumped sharply to Rs. 56.35.
To celebrate these earnings, the board declared a final cash dividend of Rs. 6 per share (60%). Added to the interim payments already handed out, shareholders get a total payout of Rs. 17 per share for the year. It’s the highest annual dividend payout in the company’s history. Net sales revenue reached Rs. 449.19 billion, driven by stronger operational efficiency and higher daily production across crude oil and gas. If you hold OGDC shares before October 9, 2026, you’ll catch this final cash payout.
