- Indus Motor Company Limited (INDU) held its analyst briefing session today to discuss its 1QFY22 results. To recall, the company posted NPAT of PkR5.4bn (EPS: PkR69), swelling by 194%%YoY/22%QoQ. In addition to this, the company announced interim cash dividend of PkR34.5/sh.

In addition to this, the company’s Cash and ST investments increased by 28%QoQ resulting in higher other income (+100%YoY/21%QoQ).
