MLCF share price and analysis
Maple Leaf Cement Factory Limited (MLCF) last traded at Rs 97.30 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, where it fell 4.10% on the session of 7 September 2026. It was among the more heavily traded lines of the session at 4,616,341 shares, a turnover of Rs 724.1 million. Over the past year the share has traded between Rs 72.87 and Rs 130.38, putting the current price around the middle of that range.
The price sits below both its 20-day (100.37) and 50-day (99.88) moving averages, which is the configuration usually read as a downtrend. The 14-day RSI is 45.9, a neutral reading. ADX at 12.8 indicates a weak or rangebound trend.
With a market capitalisation of about Rs 101.7 billion, this is one of the larger listings on the exchange and is classified under Cement. It trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 12.0, meaning the market is paying about Rs 12.0 for every rupee of annual earnings. Earnings per share stand at Rs 8.06. The trailing dividend yield is 1.24%, which is the income a holder receives at the current price before any capital movement. Return on equity is 22.7%. A beta of 0.85 means the share has historically moved less sharply than the wider market.
MLCF is the 3rd largest of the 15 Cement companies we track by market value. Its price-to-earnings ratio of 12.0 compares with the Cement median of 9.8, a modest premium to its sector. Its trailing dividend yield of 1.24% sits below the 3.04% 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 MLCF as sell over a short term horizon, at 50% confidence. Its target price is Rs 94.15, an expected return of -3.2%. 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.

MLCF — frequently asked questions
What is MLCF's share price today?
+
Maple Leaf Cement Factory Limited (MLCF) last traded at Rs 97.30 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, down 4.10% on the session of 7 September 2026. The day's range was Rs 96.49 to Rs 99.30 on 4,616,341 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 MLCF on the PSX?
+
MLCF has traded between Rs 72.87 and Rs 130.38 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 MLCF's current dividend yield?
+
MLCF has a trailing dividend yield of 1.24%, meaning that for every Rs 100 invested at the current price a holder received about Rs 1.24 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 MLCF Shariah-compliant on the PSX?
+
Yes. The Pakistan Stock Exchange lists MLCF in its Shariah-screened KMI-30 and KMI All Share indices, which means the company passed the screening set with Meezan Bank at the last review — the business-activity test plus the financial ratio tests on interest-bearing debt, illiquid assets and non-compliant income. Screening is periodic, so a company can be dropped when a ratio breaks; check the current KMI index membership before relying on it.
Which PSX indices is MLCF part of?
+
MLCF is a constituent of the KSE All Share, KMI-30, KMI All Share, KSE-100 and KSE-30. 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 MLCF expensive? What are its valuation ratios?
+
MLCF trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 12.0, so the market is paying about Rs 12.0 for each rupee of annual earnings, earnings per share of Rs 8.06, a price-to-book ratio of 1.42 and a return on equity of 22.7%. 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 MLCF?
+
