  "account": "Pakistan's pharmaceutical industry achieved its highest-ever annual profit of Rs. 42.2 billion in the fiscal year 2026, according to data from Topline Securities. Profit margins hit a record high of 42.8 percent, marking a 28 percent increase year-on-year, while finance costs dropped by 42 percent compared to the previous fiscal year. Over the nine-year period from fiscal years 2017 to 2026, the sector experienced a consistent annual growth rate of around 14 percent in profits. However, despite this significant earnings growth, the sector's combined market capitalization only rose by 2 percent year-on-year as of June 30, 2026.
