Pakistan’s smartphone manufacturer Air Link Communications Limited saw its profit grow by over 533%, clocking in at Rs1.04 billion in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024.

The company posted a profit-after-tax (PAT) of Rs163.5 million in the same period of the previous year, according to the company’s latest consolidated financial statements provided to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Tuesday.

The rise in profit is attributed to the massively higher revenue generated during the period.
