PCAL share price and analysis
Pakistan Cables Limited (PCAL) last traded at Rs 164.20 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, where it fell 2.19% on the session of 7 September 2026. Turnover was thin at 4,298 shares, a turnover of Rs 705,732, so the closing price rests on a small number of trades. Over the past year the share has traded between Rs 128.52 and Rs 243.83, putting the current price around the middle of that range.
The price sits below both its 20-day (173.44) and 50-day (170.45) moving averages, which is the configuration usually read as a downtrend. The 14-day RSI is 40.6, a neutral reading. ADX at 24.6 indicates a weak or rangebound trend.
The company is capitalised at roughly Rs 8.9 billion and is classified under Cable & Electrical Goods. It trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 53.8, meaning the market is paying about Rs 53.8 for every rupee of annual earnings. Earnings per share stand at Rs 3.05. The trailing dividend yield is 6.73%, which is the income a holder receives at the current price before any capital movement. Return on equity is 9.3%. A beta of 1.15 means the share has historically moved more sharply than the wider market.
PCAL ranks 4th of 8 Cable & Electrical Goods companies by market value. Its price-to-earnings ratio of 53.8 compares with the Cable & Electrical Goods median of 13.7, so it is priced at a clear premium to its sector. Its trailing dividend yield of 6.73% sits above the 5.71% 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 PCAL as strong sell over a short term horizon, at 55% confidence. Its target price is Rs 153.93, an expected return of -6.3%.

PCAL — frequently asked questions
What is PCAL's share price today?
+
Pakistan Cables Limited (PCAL) last traded at Rs 164.20 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, down 2.19% on the session of 7 September 2026. The day's range was Rs 163.10 to Rs 167.50 on 4,298 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 PCAL on the PSX?
+
PCAL has traded between Rs 128.52 and Rs 243.83 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 PCAL's current dividend yield?
+
PCAL has a trailing dividend yield of 6.73%, meaning that for every Rs 100 invested at the current price a holder received about Rs 6.73 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 PCAL Shariah-compliant on the PSX?
+
No. PCAL 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 PCAL part of?
+
PCAL is a constituent of the KSE 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 PCAL expensive? What are its valuation ratios?
+
PCAL trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 53.8, so the market is paying about Rs 53.8 for each rupee of annual earnings, earnings per share of Rs 3.05, a price-to-book ratio of 6.57 and a return on equity of 9.3%. 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 PCAL?
+
Our model currently reads PCAL as strong sell over a short term horizon, at 55% confidence, with a target price of Rs 153.93. It is computed from this stock's own price and indicator history.
