Pakistan State Oil (PSO), the country’s largest oil marketing company, has reported a consolidated profit after tax (PAT) of Rs20.9 billion for the financial year ended June 30, 2025, marking a strong turnaround despite challenging market conditions.
According to the company’s financial results announced on Tuesday, PSO recorded significant improvements in its bottom line, driven by higher sales volumes, effective inventory management, and strict cost control measures.
Industry analysts noted that the company benefited from relatively stable international oil prices during the year and improved margins in key petroleum products. However, the business environment remained tough due to high financing costs, currency volatility, and rising circular debt pressures.
PSO’s management said the company continued to maintain its dominant market share in the oil marketing sector while enhancing operational efficiency. The firm also expanded its retail network and invested in digital solutions to improve customer experience.

The board of directors appreciated the efforts of the management team for steering the company through a difficult operating environment and delivering profitability. PSO reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring uninterrupted fuel supply across Pakistan and supporting the government’s energy security agenda.
Market observers believe the company’s performance will help restore investor confidence, though risks linked to circular debt, exchange rate fluctuations, and global oil market dynamics remain key challenges ahead.
