With a market capitalisation of about Rs 157.2 billion, this is one of the larger listings on the exchange and is classified under Commercial Banks. It trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 6.2, meaning the market is paying about Rs 6.2 for every rupee of annual earnings. Earnings per share stand at Rs 15.73. The trailing dividend yield is 4.74%, which is the income a holder receives at the current price before any capital movement. Return on equity is 9.8%. A beta of 0.96 means the share has historically moved roughly in line with the wider market.
AKBL ranks 8th of 16 Commercial Banks companies by market value. Its price-to-earnings ratio of 6.2 compares with the Commercial Banks median of 6.9, a modest discount to its sector. Its trailing dividend yield of 4.74% sits above the 3.96% median for the sector. Sector medians are taken across the companies we hold fundamentals for and move as those are restated.

AKBL — frequently asked questions
What is AKBL's share price today?
+
Askari Bank Limited (AKBL) last traded at Rs 108.60 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, down 0.06% on the session of 7 September 2026. The day's range was Rs 107.55 to Rs 110.55 on 1,208,186 shares. These are end-of-day figures published by the exchange, not a live trading feed.
What is the 52-week high and low for AKBL on the PSX?
+
AKBL has traded between Rs 73.22 and Rs 125.29 over the past twelve months on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. The range is computed from the end-of-day closes we hold for the stock and is refreshed after every session.
What is AKBL's current dividend yield?
+
AKBL has a trailing dividend yield of 4.74%, meaning that for every Rs 100 invested at the current price a holder received about Rs 4.74 in dividends over the last twelve months. Yield moves with the share price as well as with the payout, so a rising yield is not automatically a better income stream.
Is AKBL Shariah-compliant on the PSX?
+
No. AKBL is not currently in the exchange's Shariah-screened KMI All Share or KMI-30 index, so on the exchange's own screening it does not qualify as Shariah-compliant. That screening covers both the business activity and financial ratios such as interest-bearing debt, and it is reviewed periodically rather than continuously.
Which PSX indices is AKBL part of?
+
AKBL is a constituent of the KSE All Share and KSE-100. KSE-100 membership means it is one of the hundred companies the headline PSX benchmark is built from. Index membership is taken from the exchange's own published listing for each session.
Is AKBL expensive? What are its valuation ratios?
+
AKBL trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 6.2, so the market is paying about Rs 6.2 for each rupee of annual earnings, earnings per share of Rs 15.73, a price-to-book ratio of 1.87 and a return on equity of 9.8%. Ratios are only meaningful next to the rest of the sector — a low multiple that the whole sector shares is usually a sector problem rather than a bargain, which is why the sector page is linked from this one.
