Analysis
Written by AI from the scores and reportsHUBCO’s health verdict is “Improving,” with valuation “Fair.” The scorecard shows strong profitability (100), financial strength (85), shareholder returns (100) and momentum (100), helped by a 10.2% ROE above the T-bill rate, a 67.0% net margin, and five straight dividend-paying years. But growth is weak (16.7) and cash quality low (31.3): three-year real revenue fell 23.3%, real EPS fell 14.5%, and receivable days are 158. The digests add that earnings are increasingly associate/dividend-driven, the Hub Plant is shut, and some plants are underutilised, while lower finance costs and higher short-term money-market income helped; Gulf War-related RLNG disruptions raised thermal dispatch. There are no red flags. The dividend yield is 10.35%, though it is slightly below the T-bill rate.

Latest report
period ended 30 Sept 2026HUBCO reported consolidated net profit attributable to owners of Rs 12,786 million (EPS Rs 9.86) for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, up from Rs 11,628 million a year earlier, driven by higher associate and JV profits and lower finance costs. Unconsolidated profit rose to Rs 8,118 million on higher subsidiary dividends. Thermal plants ran at elevated dispatch amid RLNG supply disruptions, with TEL at 88% load factor. The Hub Plant remains shut under a negotiated settlement with no output. Consolidated short-term investments jumped to Rs 40,313 million while cash fell to Rs 12,501 million. The Board declared an interim dividend of Rs 5.00 per share on October 28, 2026, following a final dividend approved at the AGM.
