What the PSX Data Portal (DPS) is
The Pakistan Stock Exchange publishes official market data through its Data Portal (DPS): company quotes, index levels, the announcement stream, corporate actions, and downloadable market reports. Because it is the exchange’s own publication, it is the authoritative record — if a figure on any third-party site disagrees with the exchange, the exchange is right.
What it does not do is follow the market for you. There are no personal alerts, no saved watchlists or portfolio profit and loss, no cross-market screening, and no explanatory context around a filing.

When to use which
- Use the PSX portal when you need the official figure or document: an audited result, the exact dividend declared, the text of a board resolution, or an official market report for a record.
- Use KseAlert when you need to be told something happened — a price or index level crossed, volume spiked — or when you are scanning, comparing, charting, or tracking holdings rather than reading one filing.
Verifying a number
KseAlert is built so you never have to take its word for a corporate figure. Every announcement and cash-dividend record links to the original PSX filing, each company page states the timestamp of the quote it is displaying, and data sources and methodology documents how ratios such as P/E are derived, plus the delay and revision limits that apply. Where a provider ratio and a live-price ratio can differ, the page says which basis it used.
FAQ
What is the PSX Data Portal?
The PSX Data Portal (also called DPS PSX, at dps.psx.com.pk) is the Pakistan Stock Exchange’s own site for official market data: company quotes, indices, announcements, and downloadable reports. It is the primary source of record for PSX market information.
What is DPS PSX?
DPS is short for the PSX Data Portal — the exchange’s official data site. Searches for “dps psx” or “psx dps” usually mean that portal. KseAlert is an independent research layer that links back to those official filings rather than replacing them.
Where can I get live PSX data?
Official figures come from the PSX Data Portal. On KseAlert you can follow live quotes, KSE-100 and other indices, a market summary with movers and heatmap, company announcements, and charts — with links back to the exchange when you need to verify a filing.
Is KseAlert a replacement for the PSX Data Portal?
No. The exchange portal remains the official source, and KseAlert links back to original PSX filings. KseAlert is a research layer on top of that data: alerts, screening, charts, portfolio and watchlist tracking, and plain-English summaries the exchange portal does not provide.
What can I do on KseAlert that the official portal does not offer?
Price, volume, and index alerts; a market screener; saved watchlists and a portfolio with profit and loss; TradingView charting; peer and sector comparison; and educational guides that explain what each field means.
Is KseAlert a PSX broker?
No. KseAlert does not open brokerage accounts, hold client funds, or execute trades. To buy or sell on the Pakistan Stock Exchange you need an account with a PSX broker (TREC holder) regulated by the SECP. KseAlert is market data, alerts, and research only.
Which source should I trust for a specific number?
For a decision that depends on an exact figure — a dividend amount, a board resolution, an audited result — open the original PSX filing. KseAlert links the filing on each announcement and payout record so you can verify it at the source.
Is KseAlert affiliated with the Pakistan Stock Exchange?
No. KseAlert is an independent platform. It is not the Pakistan Stock Exchange, not a broker or TREC holder, and not an SECP-licensed intermediary. It publishes market data and research tools only.
