PRL share price and analysis
Pakistan Refinery Limited (PRL) last traded at Rs 90.64 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, where it fell 8.18% on the session of 7 September 2026. It was among the more heavily traded lines of the session at 32,817,841 shares, a turnover of Rs 3.6 billion. Over the past year the share has traded between Rs 25.20 and Rs 105.39, putting the current price in the upper part of that range.
The price is above both its 20-day (87.55) and 50-day (63.42) moving averages, the configuration usually read as an intact uptrend. The 14-day RSI is 59.4, a neutral reading. ADX at 77.5 indicates a trending market rather than a range.
The company is capitalised at roughly Rs 56.9 billion and is classified under Refinery. It trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 3.6, meaning the market is paying about Rs 3.6 for every rupee of annual earnings. Earnings per share stand at Rs 25.05. The trailing dividend yield is 5.39%, which is the income a holder receives at the current price before any capital movement. Return on equity is 20.4%. A beta of 1.18 means the share has historically moved more sharply than the wider market.
PRL is the 3rd largest of the 4 Refinery companies we track by market value. Its price-to-earnings ratio of 3.6 compares with the Refinery median of 4.9, so it is priced at a clear discount to its sector. Its trailing dividend yield of 5.39% 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 PRL as strong buy over a short term horizon, at 55% confidence. Its target price is Rs 101.55, an expected return of +12.0%. 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.

Technical Analysis on the PSX: Using Moving Averages, RSI and MACD Without Fooling Yourself
Moving averages, RSI and MACD describe past prices — nothing more. Used in the right order they keep you honest; used as signals they lose money. Here are the mechanics that actually work on the PSX, and where thin volume and circuit breakers make indicators meaningless.
PRL — frequently asked questions
What is PRL's share price today?
+
Pakistan Refinery Limited (PRL) last traded at Rs 90.64 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, down 8.18% on the session of 7 September 2026. The day's range was Rs 85.15 to Rs 93.50 on 32,817,841 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 PRL on the PSX?
+
PRL has traded between Rs 25.20 and Rs 105.39 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 PRL's current dividend yield?
+
PRL has a trailing dividend yield of 5.39%, meaning that for every Rs 100 invested at the current price a holder received about Rs 5.39 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 PRL Shariah-compliant on the PSX?
+
Yes. The Pakistan Stock Exchange lists PRL 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 PRL part of?
+
PRL is a constituent of the KSE All Share, KMI-30 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 PRL expensive? What are its valuation ratios?
+
PRL trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 3.6, so the market is paying about Rs 3.6 for each rupee of annual earnings, earnings per share of Rs 25.05, a price-to-book ratio of 0.52 and a return on equity of 20.4%. 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 PRL?
+
Our model currently reads PRL as strong buy over a short term horizon, at 55% confidence, with a target price of Rs 101.55. It is computed from this stock's own price and indicator history.
