MSCL share price and analysis
Metropolitan Steel Corporation Limited (MSCL) last traded at Rs 22.54 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, where it fell 2.17% on the session of 7 September 2026. Turnover was thin at 31,165 shares, a turnover of Rs 702,459, so the closing price rests on a small number of trades. Over the past year the share has traded between Rs 12.22 and Rs 42.30, putting the current price around the middle of that range.
The price sits below both its 20-day (23.26) and 50-day (24.30) moving averages, which is the configuration usually read as a downtrend. The 14-day RSI is 43.5, a neutral reading. ADX at 19.8 indicates a weak or rangebound trend.
The company is capitalised at roughly Rs 698.2 million, a small-cap listing classified under Engineering, so the ratios below are computed on a small base and move sharply. It trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 56.4, meaning the market is paying about Rs 56.4 for every rupee of annual earnings. Earnings per share stand at Rs 0.40. The trailing dividend yield is 3.49%, which is the income a holder receives at the current price before any capital movement. Return on equity is 24.4%. A beta of 1.50 means the share has historically moved more sharply than the wider market.
MSCL is among the smallest of the 16 Engineering companies we track by market value, at 15th. Its price-to-earnings ratio of 56.4 compares with the Engineering median of 11.4, so it is priced at a clear premium to its sector. Its trailing dividend yield of 3.49% sits close to the 3.44% 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 MSCL as strong sell over a short term horizon, at 49% confidence. Its target price is Rs 20.81, an expected return of -7.7%. 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.

MSCL — frequently asked questions
What is MSCL's share price today?
+
Metropolitan Steel Corporation Limited (MSCL) last traded at Rs 22.54 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, down 2.17% on the session of 7 September 2026. The day's range was Rs 22.50 to Rs 23.50 on 31,165 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 MSCL on the PSX?
+
MSCL has traded between Rs 12.22 and Rs 42.30 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 MSCL's current dividend yield?
+
MSCL has a trailing dividend yield of 3.49%, meaning that for every Rs 100 invested at the current price a holder received about Rs 3.49 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 MSCL Shariah-compliant on the PSX?
+
Yes. The Pakistan Stock Exchange lists MSCL in its Shariah-screened KMI All Share index, 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 MSCL part of?
+
MSCL is a constituent of the KSE All Share and KMI 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 MSCL expensive? What are its valuation ratios?
+
MSCL trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 56.4, so the market is paying about Rs 56.4 for each rupee of annual earnings, earnings per share of Rs 0.40, a price-to-book ratio of 17.61 and a return on equity of 24.4%. 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 MSCL?
+
