Padma Oil Company Ltd reported a 7.75 percent year-on-year increase in earnings to Tk 169 crore in the July-September period of the financial year 2026-27 due to increased non-operating income from deposits (FDR and SND) with banks during the period.The state-owned petroleum distributor reported earnings per share (EPS) of Tk 17.28 in the July-September quarter, up from Tk 16.04 in the same period a year earlier.

Padma Oil’s net operating cash flow per share (NOCFPS) stood at Tk 46.28 in the negative in the quarter, against Tk 91.49 in the corresponding period of the previous year.
