Hi-Tech Lubricants - Pseudo listed

For the years ending 2024 and 2023, HTL incurred operating losses. Income during these periods primarily consisted of "other income," which was substantially comprised of dividend income from its 100% owned subsidiary, Hi-Tech Blending.

Furthermore, in both 2024 and 2023, HTL benefited from a tax write-back. This write-back boosted profit after tax (PAT) in 2024 and reduced the net loss in 2023. The tax write-back resulted from the company and its subsidiary, Hi-Tech Blending (Private) Limited, being taxed as a group.

Lat cash dividend was paid in Year 2022. 

With over 75% holding with sponsors what is the point of listing for PSX participants.

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.
