| Symbol | Company | Price | Chg % | Mkt cap Market cap What the whole company costs at today's price. How it's worked out Share price multiplied by every share in issue. How to read it It is the company's size, not its value. A big number does not mean the price is high against earnings, and a small one does not mean it is low — that is what the ratios below are for. | P/E Price per rupee earned Rupees you pay for each rupee the company earned last year. How it's worked out Share price divided by earnings per share over the last twelve reported months. How to read it Lower only means something against something — the same company's history, its sector, or the market. On its own this ratio says very little, and it is blank when a company lost money. | Yield Dividend yield Cash paid out over the last year as a percentage of today's price. How it's worked out Dividends per share over twelve months divided by the share price. How to read it A very high yield is often a warning, not a gift: it usually means the price fell. Check the payout ratio next to see whether earnings actually cover it. | YTD Year-to-date return How the share price has moved since 1 January, before dividends. How it's worked out Today's price against the last close of the previous year, as a percentage. How to read it It is a PRICE return, so a company that paid a large dividend looks worse here than a holder actually did. The calendar start is arbitrary — a stock that fell in December and recovered in January looks good for reasons that have nothing to do with the business. | 1Y One-year return How the share price has moved over the last twelve months, before dividends. How it's worked out Today's price against the close twelve months ago, adjusted for bonus issues and splits, as a percentage. How to read it Price only. For what a holder actually made, including dividends, see total return — on a high-yield PSX name the two differ by most of the yield. | Trend | Shariah Shariah compliant Whether PSX's own screen currently lists it as compliant. How it's worked out Membership of the KMI-30 or KMI All-Share index, which the exchange rebuilds on its own screening. How to read it It is the exchange's call at a point in time, not a fatwa and not ours. Companies move in and out as their debt and income mix changes. |
