HGFA share price and analysis
HBL Growth Fund (HGFA) last traded at Rs 14.15 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, where it fell 1.80% on the session of 7 September 2026. Turnover was thin at 20,729 shares, a turnover of Rs 293,315, so the closing price rests on a small number of trades. Over the past year the share has traded between Rs 13.50 and Rs 20.64, putting the current price close to its 12-month low.
The price sits below both its 20-day (14.58) and 50-day (15.84) moving averages, which is the configuration usually read as a downtrend. The 14-day RSI is 39.9, a neutral reading. ADX at 19.8 indicates a weak or rangebound trend.
The company is capitalised at roughly Rs 4.0 billion and is classified under Close-End Mutual Fund. It trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 8.8, meaning the market is paying about Rs 8.8 for every rupee of annual earnings. Earnings per share stand at Rs 2.25. The trailing dividend yield is 6.60%, which is the income a holder receives at the current price before any capital movement. Return on equity is 22.6%. A beta of 1.34 means the share has historically moved more sharply than the wider market.
Our forecasting model currently reads HGFA as strong sell over a short term horizon, at 49% confidence. Its target price is Rs 13.16, an expected return of -7.0%. 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.
This summary is generated from the end-of-day prices and indicators shown on this page and is refreshed after each trading session. It describes the data; it is not a recommendation. See how we collect and check this data and our disclaimer.

Why
HGFA shows strongly bearish conditions. Overall score 41/100. Drivers: Price below the 50-day average (downtrend); Histogram positive — momentum building; Fundamental score 76/100; Neutral (40). Note the tension: the indicators below currently read bullish, so this verdict rests on the model's weighting rather than on momentum agreeing with it — treat it with more caution than usual. Suggested action: Strong Sell; trend and momentum favour caution. This is an automated model assessment, not financial advice.

HGFA — frequently asked questions
What is HGFA's share price today?
+
HBL Growth Fund (HGFA) last traded at Rs 14.15 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, down 1.80% on the session of 7 September 2026. The day's range was Rs 13.60 to Rs 14.85 on 20,729 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 HGFA on the PSX?
+
HGFA has traded between Rs 13.50 and Rs 20.64 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 HGFA's current dividend yield?
+
HGFA has a trailing dividend yield of 6.60%, meaning that for every Rs 100 invested at the current price a holder received about Rs 6.60 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 HGFA Shariah-compliant on the PSX?
+
No. HGFA 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 HGFA part of?
+
HGFA 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 HGFA expensive? What are its valuation ratios?
+
HGFA trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 8.8, so the market is paying about Rs 8.8 for each rupee of annual earnings, earnings per share of Rs 2.25, a price-to-book ratio of 1.15 and a return on equity of 22.6%. 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.
