Cairo Oils and Soap (ticker: COSG, EGS30581C010), the Egyptian manufacturer of edible oils and vegetable ghee, has reported a loss in its latest financial release dated August 13, 2026, according to data published by Investing.com. The release showed earnings per share of minus EGP 0.01 against revenue of EGP 207.72 million, putting profitability back at the center of the investment debate around the stock.
The negative earnings per share figure highlights the gap between operating scale and realized profitability. While revenue of EGP 207.72 million indicates ongoing commercial activity, the loss per share shows that sales have not yet translated into positive earnings in the latest reported period.
Cairo Oils and Soap operates a refining and packaging factory in Giza and runs a vegetable-oil storage station at Adabiya Port with a capacity of 16,500 tons, according to the company's official information. The company supplies the Egyptian market with edible oils and vegetable ghee.
Historical annual data illustrates the scale of the challenge. Revenue stood at EGP 769.45 million in fiscal year 2025, down from EGP 1.06 billion in fiscal year 2024. Net income for fiscal year 2025 was negative EGP 75.41 million, providing context for the latest quarterly result.
For investors, the key distinction is between production capacity and realized profitability. The 16,500-ton storage network supports supply operations, but the latest combination of EGP 207.72 million in revenue and minus EGP 0.01 earnings per share underscores why input costs and margins remain central to the equity story.
Cairo Oils and Soap is listed on the Egyptian Exchange under ticker COSG and is classified within the edible oils and vegetable ghee manufacturing sector. With the latest loss on record, the next earnings update will be critical for assessing whether revenue can recover toward the historical EGP 1.06 billion level recorded in fiscal year 2024.
