Feb 19 2026

  • The KSE-100 index endured intense selling pressure today as investors aggressively moved to lock in gains, resulting in a sharp and broad-based correction across the equity market. The benchmark plunged to an intra-day low of 7,206 points, with heavyweights from the fertilizer, banking, and E&P sectors leading the downturn. Escalating geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran dampened investor sentiment, triggering widespread profit-taking and amplifying volatility. By the close of the session, the index settled at 172,170, marking a record decline of 6,683 points (down 3.74%) from the previous day’s close.
  • Trading activity remained relatively moderate, with volumes recorded at 229mn shares on the KSE-100 index and 540mn shares in the overall market. The day’s volume leaders included WTL (84mn), KEL (62mn), and TSBLR1 (46mn). Going forward, market direction is likely to remain contingent upon geopolitical developments and evolving domestic economic indicators. Additionally, forthcoming result announcements from blue-chip companies could provide selective support to the benchmark. In this environment, investors are advised to remain vigilant, carefully assess market dynamics, and focus on fundamentally strong stocks offering sustainable long-term growth potential.

Commercial Banks: 4QCY25 Previews: Stable earnings; Payouts intact – By Insight Research

Feb 3 2026


Insight Securities


  • We estimate profitability of ISL coverage banks to inch up by 16% YoY, while same is expected to decline by 2% QoQ. The YoY increase is mainly driven by lower ETR for the quarter compared to SPLY, further aided by volumetric expansion. While, QoQ decline is attributable to slight moderation in NIMs. Net Interest Income of the sector is likely to decline as impact of lower policy rate translates into asset yields.
  • However, some of the impact is likely to offset by balance sheet expansion as deposits grew by ~2.7% QoQ. We estimate HBL/UBL/MCB/MEBL/BAFL to post EPS of PKR11.0/13.8/11.9/12.5/3.5, respectively. We expect dividend payouts to remain robust amid healthy profits and decent buffer on adequacy ratios and expect HBL/UBL/MCB/ MEBL/BAFL to announce DPS of PKR5.0/8.0/9.0/7.0/2.5, respectively.

Pakistan Economy: Jan’26 CPI likely to clock in at 6.1% - By Insight Research

Jan 30 2026


Insight Securities


  • Within the SPI basket, items that recorded significant increase in prices during the period are as follows, Chicken (14.8↑%), Wheat flour (10.4↑%), Tomatoes (10.2%↑), Spices (6.3%↑) & Fresh fruits (4.9%↑). On the flip side, prices of the following items eased off during the month, Potatoes (30.9%↓), Onions (24.6%↓), Sugar (8.6%↓), Pulse gram (6.5%↓) & Motor fuel (4.8%↓).
  • Following a 50bps policy rate cut in Dec’25 MPC meeting, after maintaining status quo across the preceding four meetings, SBP signaled the possibility of further monetary easing in CY26. Market expectations were consequently anchored around an additional 50–75bps cut in the Jan’26 MPC meeting. However, contrary to street consensus, SBP opted to keep policy rate unchanged while reducing the Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR) for banks by 100bps to 5%. This appears prudent in the context of geopolitical tensions and its potential spillover impact on global commodity prices, which have been a key anchor for Pakistan’s macroeconomic stability in recent quarters. The import bill has already begun to inch up, while the export sector continues to face structural constraints. Given sticky core inflation and an elevated imports, a cautious policy stance remains essential to preserve macroeconomic stability.
