NRL share price and analysis
National Refinery Limited (NRL) last traded at Rs 503.00 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, where it fell 0.86% on the session of 7 September 2026. It was among the more heavily traded lines of the session at 1,770,342 shares, a turnover of Rs 840.4 million. Over the past year the share has traded between Rs 276.36 and Rs 560.66, putting the current price in the upper part of that range.
The price is between its 20-day (505.36) and 50-day (444.04) moving averages, so the short-term trend is unresolved. The 14-day RSI is 53.5, a neutral reading. ADX at 47.0 indicates a trending market rather than a range.
The company is capitalised at roughly Rs 40.1 billion and is classified under Refinery. It trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 6.5, meaning the market is paying about Rs 6.5 for every rupee of annual earnings. Earnings per share stand at Rs 77.09. The trailing dividend yield is 4.88%, which is the income a holder receives at the current price before any capital movement. Return on equity is 6.5%. A beta of 1.51 means the share has historically moved more sharply than the wider market.
NRL is among the smallest of the 4 Refinery companies we track by market value, at 4th. Its price-to-earnings ratio of 6.5 compares with the Refinery median of 4.9, so it is priced at a clear premium to its sector. Its trailing dividend yield of 4.88% sits close to the 5.14% 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 NRL as strong buy over a short term horizon, at 47% confidence. Its target price is Rs 554.94, an expected return of +10.3%. 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.

NRL — frequently asked questions
What is NRL's share price today?
+
National Refinery Limited (NRL) last traded at Rs 503.00 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, down 0.86% on the session of 7 September 2026. The day's range was Rs 488.00 to Rs 512.00 on 1,770,342 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 NRL on the PSX?
+
NRL has traded between Rs 276.36 and Rs 560.66 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 NRL's current dividend yield?
+
NRL has a trailing dividend yield of 4.88%, meaning that for every Rs 100 invested at the current price a holder received about Rs 4.88 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 NRL Shariah-compliant on the PSX?
+
Yes. The Pakistan Stock Exchange lists NRL 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 NRL part of?
+
NRL is a constituent of the KSE All Share, KMI-30, KMI All Share and KSE-30. 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 NRL expensive? What are its valuation ratios?
+
NRL trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 6.5, so the market is paying about Rs 6.5 for each rupee of annual earnings, earnings per share of Rs 77.09, a price-to-book ratio of 1.92 and a return on equity of 6.5%. 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 NRL?
+
Our model currently reads NRL as strong buy over a short term horizon, at 47% confidence, with a target price of Rs 554.94. It is computed from this stock's own price and indicator history.
