NBP share price and analysis
National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) last traded at Rs 181.44 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, where it fell 2.85% on the session of 7 September 2026. Volume was 800,759 shares, a turnover of Rs 147.5 million. Over the past year the share has traded between Rs 156.51 and Rs 286.42, putting the current price in the lower part of that range.
The price sits below both its 20-day (196.78) and 50-day (201.64) moving averages, which is the configuration usually read as a downtrend. The 14-day RSI is 29.7, in territory conventionally described as oversold, which reflects the strength of recent selling rather than predicting a reversal. ADX at 27.7 indicates a trending market rather than a range.
With a market capitalisation of about Rs 386.1 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 5.2, meaning the market is paying about Rs 5.2 for every rupee of annual earnings. Earnings per share stand at Rs 40.38. The trailing dividend yield is 4.50%, which is the income a holder receives at the current price before any capital movement. Return on equity is 23.4%. A beta of 0.90 means the share has historically moved less sharply than the wider market.
NBP ranks 5th of 16 Commercial Banks companies by market value. Its price-to-earnings ratio of 5.2 compares with the Commercial Banks median of 6.9, so it is priced at a clear discount to its sector. Its trailing dividend yield of 4.50% sits close to the 3.96% 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 NBP as strong sell over a short term horizon, at 43% confidence. Its target price is Rs 173.26, an expected return of -4.5%. 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.

NBP — frequently asked questions
What is NBP's share price today?
+
National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) last traded at Rs 181.44 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, down 2.85% on the session of 7 September 2026. The day's range was Rs 180.56 to Rs 184.01 on 800,759 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 NBP on the PSX?
+
NBP has traded between Rs 156.51 and Rs 286.42 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 NBP's current dividend yield?
+
NBP has a trailing dividend yield of 4.50%, meaning that for every Rs 100 invested at the current price a holder received about Rs 4.50 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 NBP Shariah-compliant on the PSX?
+
No. NBP 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 NBP part of?
+
NBP is a constituent of the KSE All Share, KSE-100, KSE-30 and PSX Dividend 20. 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 NBP expensive? What are its valuation ratios?
+
NBP trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 5.2, so the market is paying about Rs 5.2 for each rupee of annual earnings, earnings per share of Rs 40.38, a price-to-book ratio of 0.60 and a return on equity of 23.4%. 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 NBP?
