OGDC: Oil & Gas Development Company Limited - 3rd Quarter Results update


OGC reported mixed results for Q3 2024. Earnings per share (EPS) came in at Rs. 11.1, accompanied by a cash dividend of Rs. 2 per share.

Although net income declined year-over-year and compared to the previous quarter, revenue saw a modest year-over-year increase. Notably, gross profit margin improved to 64%, exceeding the average of the past four quarters. This positive trend was partially offset by a rise in financial charges and a higher tax rate compared to the historical average. Despite the decline in net income, OGDC maintains a strong position within key Pakistani stock indices and holds significant reserves of the country's oil and gas resources.

Brent Crude Logs Biggest Weekly Drop Since September on Weak Demand, Easing Tensions

Oil prices were under pressure this week. Brent crude oil futures fell 1.9% to $73 per barrel on Friday, registering the biggest weekly loss since early September, with prices dropping over 7%. The decline was attributed to weaker demand forecasts from OPEC and the International Energy Agency (IEA), slowing economic growth in China, and signs of easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Both OPEC and the IEA revised down their demand forecasts for 2024 and 2025. China's refinery output declined for the sixth consecutive month, impacted by weak fuel demand and the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). Meanwhile, U.S. crude oil production reached a new record last week. Although a drawdown in U.S. crude inventories and stronger-than-expected retail sales in September provided some support to oil prices, easing concerns about a broader conflict in the Middle East exerted additional downward pressure on the market.
