Market 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 is not expensive and a small one is not cheap — that is what the multiples below are for.

Rs 144B
as of 23 Sep 2026
P/E (TTM)

P/E ratio

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 looks cheaper, but only against something — the same company's history, its sector, or the market. A P/E on its own means very little, and it is blank when a company lost money.

Dividend 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.

Avg volume (30d)

Average volume

Shares changing hands on a typical day.

How it's worked out

The mean daily volume over thirty sessions.

How to read it

Shares, not rupees — a million shares of a Rs 3 stock is a small market. "Traded per session" is the version in money.

What's good about FABL, and what isn't

Read off the numbers below · 23 Sep 2026

Every line states the bar it was judged against, so you can disagree with the bar rather than argue with a verdict. Nothing here is scored or ranked, and where a number is missing the sentence is simply not written.

In its favour

  • Trades 22% below the KSE-100's own multiple.

    20% or more below the market P/E

  • The multiple is covered by growth — a PEG of 0.27.

    PEG below 1 on three-year earnings growth

  • The dividend is covered 2.2 times by earnings.

    Earnings at least twice the dividend

  • Paid 4 times in the last twelve months.

    Four or more cash dividends in a year

  • Earnings per share compounded 25% a year over three years.

    Three-year EPS growth of 15% or more

  • Net margin is 2.3 points wider than three years ago.

    Margin up 2 points or more over three years

  • A Rs 1,000,000 order is a rounding error in a normal session.

    Under 5% of a session's turnover

  • It beat the KSE-100 by 22 points over the last year.

    Ten points or more ahead of the index over a year

Not advice, and not a score. These are descriptions of numbers Equivest holds, nothing more.

Whether recent buying or selling has run hot.

How it's worked out

Fourteen sessions of gains weighed against losses, on a 0–100 scale.

How to read it

Above 70 is called overbought and below 30 oversold, but strong stocks stay above 70 for months. It describes momentum, it does not forecast a turn.

Beta

How hard it swings when the market swings.

How it's worked out

The slope of this stock's daily returns against the KSE-100's, over a year of sessions.

How to read it

1.0 moves with the market, 1.5 exaggerates it by half, below 1 is steadier. It says nothing about direction, only about size.

Volatility

Volatility, 30-day

How jumpy it has been lately, stated per year.

How it's worked out

The standard deviation of the last 30 days of returns, annualised.

How to read it

30% means a typical year's swing of about thirty percent either way. Rising volatility often arrives before news does.

The numbers behind the numbers

Computed from reported filings and FABL's own price history · 23 Sep 2026

A P/E on its own says little. These put FABL's valuation next to its sector and the market, its dividend next to its earnings, its quoted price next to how much of it actually trades, and its return next to the risk taken to earn it.

Valuation in context

Earnings yield

Earnings yield

The P/E turned upside down, so it compares with a savings rate.

How it's worked out

100 divided by the P/E ratio.

How to read it

If a company earns 17% against its price and a T-bill pays 12%, you can finally compare the two. It is what the business earns, not what it pays you — the dividend yield is the cash that reaches your account.

15.11%
Price to sales

Price to sales

What you pay for each rupee of revenue.

How it's worked out

Market cap divided by the latest reported annual sales.

How to read it

Useful where earnings are negative or lumpy and a P/E says nothing. It ignores costs entirely, so a low number does not mean a good business.

PEG (P/E ÷ 3-year growth)

PEG

The P/E measured against how fast earnings are growing.

How it's worked out

P/E divided by the three-year growth rate of earnings per share.

How to read it

Under 1 is the old rule of thumb for a multiple that growth justifies. Blank when earnings are shrinking, because the ratio flips sign and stops meaning anything.

0.27
vs the KSE-100's P/E

vs the KSE-100's P/E

Whether this company is dearer or cheaper than the market as a whole.

How it's worked out

Its P/E against the KSE-100's, which we compute as the total market cap of the index over the total earnings of its members.

How to read it

−30% means it trades thirty percent below the market's multiple. Cheap against the market is a question, not an answer: often the market is right about why.

Position in 52-week range

How it's worked out

Zero at the 52-week low, 100 at the high.

vs KSE-100, one year

How far ahead of or behind the market it finished.

How it's worked out

Its one-year return minus the KSE-100's, in percentage points.

How to read it

"Up 12%" means one thing when the index rose 20% and another when it fell. Unlike alpha, this ignores how much market risk was carried to get there.

+21.6 pts

Its P/E is lower than 58% of the commercial banks companies with reported earnings, and it yields more than 22% of them.

Income & quality

Dividend per share, 12 months

Dividend per share

The actual rupees per share paid out over the last twelve months.

How it's worked out

Every cash dividend with an ex-date in the last year, added up from the exchange's own book-closure notices.

How to read it

Multiply by your shares and that is the cash that reached you, before tax. Bonus shares are not in here — they are not money.

Rs 6.50
Cash dividends paid, 12 months

Dividends paid

How many times it paid cash in the last twelve months.

How it's worked out

A count of cash dividends with an ex-date in the last year.

How to read it

Four usually means a quarterly payer, one means an annual one. A steady cadence is worth more to an income investor than a single big number.

4
Payout ratio

Payout ratio

How much of its profit the company hands to shareholders.

How it's worked out

Dividend per share over the last year divided by earnings per share.

How to read it

Above 100% means it paid out more than it earned — possible from reserves for a year, not for five. Low means it is keeping money to reinvest, which is not automatically bad.

46%
Dividend cover

Dividend cover

How many times over the earnings could pay the dividend.

How it's worked out

Earnings per share divided by dividend per share — the payout ratio the other way round.

How to read it

Above 2 is comfortable. Below 1 means the dividend is coming from somewhere other than this year's profit.

2.20×
Net margin

Net margin

How much of every rupee of sales survives to profit.

How it's worked out

Net profit after tax divided by sales, from the annual filing.

How to read it

Compare it only within an industry — a supermarket at 3% can be healthier than a manufacturer at 10%. The direction matters more than the level.

13.1%
Margin, 3-year change

Margin, 3-year change

Whether the business is getting more or less profitable.

How it's worked out

The latest net margin minus the one three years earlier, in percentage points.

How to read it

A widening margin on flat sales is a company with pricing power. A shrinking one is usually costs, competition, or both.

+2.3 pts
EPS growth, 3-year

EPS growth, 3-year

How fast profit per share has compounded.

How it's worked out

The annual rate that turns the earnings per share of three years ago into today's.

How to read it

Blank if the company was losing money three years ago — a move from a loss to a profit has no meaningful growth rate, and printing one would be arithmetic pretending to be insight.

+24.6% a year
Sales growth, 3-year

Sales growth, 3-year

How fast revenue has compounded.

How it's worked out

The annual rate that turns the sales of three years ago into today's.

How to read it

Read it next to EPS growth. Sales rising faster than profit means the growth is being bought with margin.

It paid out 46% of earnings and kept the rest.

Can you actually trade it

Median traded per session

Traded per session

The rupees that change hands on a typical day.

How it's worked out

The median of price times volume over the last 60 sessions — the median, so one block trade cannot make a dead stock look busy.

How to read it

This is the number that decides whether the quoted price is a price you can actually get.

Rs 58M
Sessions to trade Rs 1M

Sessions to trade Rs 1M

How long it would take to buy or sell a Rs 1,000,000 position.

How it's worked out

Rs 1,000,000 divided by the median rupees traded a session.

How to read it

Under 0.01 and your order is a rounding error. Above 1 and you are the day's volume — expect to move the price against yourself getting out.

0.02
Untraded sessions, last 60

Untraded sessions

Days in the last 60 when literally nothing traded.

How it's worked out

A count of sessions with zero volume.

How to read it

Any number above zero means there are days you could not have sold at any price. On PSX this is common well outside the KSE-100.

0
Daily volume vs free float

Daily volume vs free float

What share of the tradable stock changes hands on a normal day.

How it's worked out

Average daily volume divided by the free float — the shares not locked up by sponsors.

How to read it

A company can be huge and still barely trade if the family owns 90% of it. This separates size from liquidity.

0.09%
Price impact per Rs 1M traded

Price impact per Rs 1M

How far your own order moves the price.

How it's worked out

The median of the day's absolute price move divided by the day's turnover, scaled to a Rs 1,000,000 ticket. Traders call it the Amihud ratio.

How to read it

Under 1 basis point and the market swallows your order whole. Three figures and your buying is the reason the price went up — which you will discover again on the way out.

1 bps
Implied bid-ask spread

Implied bid-ask spread

The hidden cost of a round trip, estimated from the price series.

How it's worked out

Roll's estimator: prices bounce between bid and ask, and the size of that bounce implies the spread.

How to read it

It is the toll you pay to enter and leave, before any brokerage. Blank when the price is trending rather than bouncing, because then the model does not apply and we would rather say nothing.

Float turned over, one year

Float turned over, one year

How many times the tradable stock changed hands in a year.

How it's worked out

A year's volume divided by the free float. Exchanges publish this about themselves; this is the same measure for one company.

How to read it

100% means the entire float turned over once. Single digits mean a register that never moves, whatever the market cap says.

78%
Sessions with a trade, one year

Sessions with a trade

How often it trades at all.

How it's worked out

The share of the last 250 sessions with any volume.

How to read it

Anything below 100% means there were days with no market. Below 90% and you should assume you cannot choose your exit day.

100%

Liquidity is deep: a Rs 1,000,000 order is about 2% of a normal session's turnover.

A Rs 1,000,000 ticket nudges the price — about 1 basis points on the median session, measured the way a trading desk measures it.

What the risk paid

Total return, one year

Total return, one year

What a holder actually made, dividends included.

How it's worked out

The price move over twelve months plus every cash dividend paid in that window, counted as received on its ex-date.

How to read it

Every other PSX site quotes the price move alone. On a market yielding what this one does, that understates what holders made by a third or more.

+24.5%

— from dividends

The part of the year's return that arrived as cash.

How it's worked out

Dividends per share over the year divided by the price twelve months ago.

How to read it

The half of the return a price chart cannot show you. For many PSX names it is most of it.

+8.6%
Return per unit of risk

Return per unit of risk

How much you were paid for how rough the ride was.

How it's worked out

The one-year return divided by the annualised volatility of the daily moves.

How to read it

Two stocks up 20% are not the same if one did it calmly and the other halved on the way. Deliberately not a Sharpe ratio: quoting a risk-free rate for Pakistan means picking a T-bill tenor and pretending that was your alternative.

0.59
Alpha vs KSE-100, one year

Alpha vs KSE-100

The part of the year's return the market does not explain.

How it's worked out

The stock's return minus its beta times the index's return.

How to read it

A high-beta name rising in a rising market has done nothing clever. This strips that out and leaves what was actually the company's doing.

Caught of the market's up moves

Caught of the market's up moves

How much of the market's good days this stock catches.

How it's worked out

The stock's total return across the index's up days, divided by the index's own.

How to read it

Above 100 means it rises more than the market does. Read it with down capture — the pair is the whole picture, either half alone flatters.

119%
Caught of its down moves

Caught of its down moves

How much of the market's bad days this stock catches.

How it's worked out

The stock's total return across the index's down days, divided by the index's own.

How to read it

Below 100 means it falls less than the market. Above 100 on the downside is the warning a headline return usually hides.

107%
Worst day in twenty

Worst day in twenty

The fall you should expect to see on a bad day.

How it's worked out

The fifth-percentile daily return over the last year — the actual distribution, not a bell curve.

How to read it

One session in twenty is at least this bad. It is a normal day at the office, not a crash, and the crash is worse than this by definition.

−3.1%
Below its 52-week high

Below its 52-week high

How far under its best price of the year it sits now.

How it's worked out

The 52-week high minus today's price, as a percentage of that high.

How to read it

Different from the biggest drawdown, which is the worst it ever got. This is the hole still to climb out of.

10.7% · 55 sessions

Dividends were 26% of what a holder made over the year — the part a price chart never shows.

Faysal Bank balance sheet and returns

Return on equity, book value, gearing and margins for Faysal Bank — read out of the company’s own audited annual report, because the exchange publishes no balance sheet. Figures for the year ended 31 Dec 2025.

Book value / share

Book value per share

The accounting value of one share, in rupees.

How it's worked out

Total equity divided by shares outstanding — what each share would be worth if the company sold everything at balance-sheet value and paid off every debt.

How to read it

The floor under a share price, loosely. It ignores brands, people and future profits, so a good business trades well above it and a broken one below.

Rs 77.59
Price to book

Price to book

What the market charges for each rupee of net assets.

How it's worked out

Share price divided by book value per share.

How to read it

Under 1 means the market values the whole company at less than the net assets on its own balance sheet. On PSX that is common and is sometimes a bargain and sometimes a warning — check why.

1.22×
Debt to equity

Debt to equity

How much is owed against how much is owned outright.

How it's worked out

Total liabilities divided by total equity. The broad measure — all liabilities, not only interest-bearing borrowings — because that is what the published tables reliably carry.

How to read it

Leverage magnifies both directions. High gearing is normal for banks and leasing, alarming for a manufacturer in a high-rate year like Pakistan has had.

14.09×
Funded by shareholders

Funded by shareholders

The share of the balance sheet shareholders actually paid for.

How it's worked out

Total equity as a percentage of total assets — the plain-English complement of leverage.

How to read it

The higher it is, the less the company depends on lenders staying friendly. At Pakistani interest rates that dependence has been expensive.

Quick answers

What is FABL's dividend yield?

As of 23 Sep 2026, Faysal Bank Limited (FABL) has a trailing dividend yield of 6.86% at a share price of Rs 94.69. Cash dividends declared over the last 12 months total Rs 6.50 per share.

What is FABL's P/E ratio?

FABL trades at a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 6.6× based on a price of Rs 94.69 as of 23 Sep 2026. Its market capitalisation is about Rs 144B.

Is FABL Shariah compliant?

Yes. Faysal Bank Limited (FABL) is flagged Shariah-compliant in PSX data as of 23 Sep 2026 and is included in the KMI All-Share Islamic index. Screening status can change at each review, so confirm with your Shariah advisor before investing.

Is FABL trending up or down?

Equivest's trend read for FABL is Sideways since 18 Sep 2026: the price series is roughly flat. Below the 50-day average, above the 200-day; Volume 2.5× the 20-day average. The read describes the closes through 23 Sep 2026; it is not a recommendation.

Is FABL cheap?

FABL shows an earnings yield of 15.11%, a payout ratio of 46%, a net margin of 13.1%. Its price-to-earnings multiple is lower than 58% of companies in the same PSX sector with reported earnings. Whether that makes it cheap depends on why the market prices it that way, which no ratio answers. A Rs 1,000,000 order is about 2% of a normal session, judged on the median value traded over the last 60 sessions.

What is the total return on FABL including dividends?

FABL returned +33.1% over the last year counting the cash dividends paid, against a price move of +24.5% — a gap of 8.6 percentage points that a price chart alone hides. Dividends are counted as received on their ex-date, not reinvested. Figures to 23 Sep 2026.

How liquid is FABL?

On Equivest's reading of the last 60 sessions, a Rs 1,000,000 order moves the price about 1 basis points on a median session, the stock traded on 100% of the last year's sessions. Those are estimates from daily closes and volumes, not from the order book, and they describe normal sessions rather than the day you need to sell.

What is FABL's beta?

FABL's one-year beta against the KSE-100 is 1.17 (correlation 0.78), measured on daily closes to 23 Sep 2026. Its annualised volatility is 13% over 30 days and 20% over 90; the worst peak-to-trough fall in the last year was −27.0%.
