ALAC share price and analysis
Askari Life Assurance Company Limited (ALAC) last traded at Rs 22.25 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, where it rose 9.99% on the session of 7 September 2026. Volume was 997,538 shares, a turnover of Rs 22.2 million. Over the past year the share has traded between Rs 10.33 and Rs 25.69, putting the current price in the upper part of that range.
The price is above both its 20-day (20.54) and 50-day (21.98) moving averages, the configuration usually read as an intact uptrend. The 14-day RSI is 62.4, a neutral reading. ADX at 29.0 indicates a trending market rather than a range.
The company is capitalised at roughly Rs 3.3 billion and is classified under Insurance. It trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 85.6, meaning the market is paying about Rs 85.6 for every rupee of annual earnings. Earnings per share stand at Rs 0.84. The trailing dividend yield is 2.25%, which is the income a holder receives at the current price before any capital movement. Return on equity is 27.0%. A beta of 1.57 means the share has historically moved more sharply than the wider market.
ALAC ranks 11th of 19 Insurance companies by market value. Its price-to-earnings ratio of 85.6 compares with the Insurance median of 8.2, so it is priced at a clear premium to its sector. Its trailing dividend yield of 2.25% sits below the 6.30% median for the sector. Sector medians are taken across the companies we hold fundamentals for and move as those are restated.
Our forecasting model currently reads ALAC as strong buy over a short term horizon, at 53% confidence. Its target price is Rs 23.56, an expected return of +5.9%. The model is computed from the price and indicator history shown on this page. It does not read news, financial statements or management changes, and it is not a recommendation to buy or sell.

ALAC — frequently asked questions
What is ALAC's share price today?
+
Askari Life Assurance Company Limited (ALAC) last traded at Rs 22.25 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, up 9.99% on the session of 7 September 2026. The day's range was Rs 20.20 to Rs 22.25 on 997,538 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 ALAC on the PSX?
+
ALAC has traded between Rs 10.33 and Rs 25.69 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 ALAC's current dividend yield?
+
ALAC has a trailing dividend yield of 2.25%, meaning that for every Rs 100 invested at the current price a holder received about Rs 2.25 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 ALAC Shariah-compliant on the PSX?
+
No. ALAC 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 ALAC part of?
+
ALAC is a constituent of the KSE All Share. It is not in the KSE-100, the headline PSX benchmark. Index membership is taken from the exchange's own published listing for each session.
Is ALAC expensive? What are its valuation ratios?
+
ALAC trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 85.6, so the market is paying about Rs 85.6 for each rupee of annual earnings, earnings per share of Rs 0.84, a price-to-book ratio of 3.23 and a return on equity of 27.0%. 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.
What is the AI forecast for ALAC?
+
