Abstract
This study examines the liquidity, profitability, leverage and efficiency ratios of five listen companies from 2018 to 2023 in order to assess the financial health of Pakistan transport sector. Pakistan’s transport sector is essential to the country’s economy, but it suffers challenges due to COVID-19 interruptions, inflation, and rupee devaluation. Using ratio analysis of five listed transport companies and secondary data from State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) 2018-2023 a quantitative technique was used. The results indicate that PNSC and PICT exhibit high profitability and efficiency, but PIA continues to be in chronic distress with negative ROA and insufficient liquidity. In contrast to PIBT, which had mixed outcomes, Cordoba Logistics rebounded from almost going bankrupt. Regulatory harmonization, sector-wide digital transformation, sustainability integration, and immediate restructuring for troubled companies are among the strategic recommendations. Disciplined reform execution, public-private partnerships, and a dedication to modernization and sustainable growth are essential for success.
