CEPB share price and analysis
Century Paper & Board Mills Limited (CEPB) last traded at Rs 22.90 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, where it fell 8.47% on the session of 29 October 2026. Volume was 2,859,276 shares, a turnover of Rs 65.5 million. Over the past year the share has traded between Rs 22.52 and Rs 44.98, putting the current price close to its 12-month low.
The price sits below both its 20-day (25.11) and 50-day (26.17) moving averages, which is the configuration usually read as a downtrend. The 14-day RSI is 27.3, in territory conventionally described as oversold, which reflects the strength of recent selling rather than predicting a reversal. ADX at 42.7 indicates a trending market rather than a range.
The company is capitalised at roughly Rs 9.2 billion and is classified under Paper, Board & Packaging. It trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 152.7, meaning the market is paying about Rs 152.7 for every rupee of annual earnings. Earnings per share stand at Rs 0.15. A beta of 1.21 against the KSE-100 means the share has moved more sharply than the wider market over the past year.
CEPB ranks 5th of 15 Paper, Board & Packaging companies by market value. Its price-to-earnings ratio of 152.7 compares with the Paper, Board & Packaging median of 14.0, so it is priced at a clear premium to its sector. Sector medians are taken across the companies we hold fundamentals for and move as those are restated.
Our forecasting model currently reads CEPB as strongly bearish over a short term horizon, at 50% confidence. 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.

CEPB technical indicators — RSI, MACD & moving averages
Momentum and trend gauges for CEPB after the session of 29 Oct 2026, each with a one-line reading of what the number means.
RSI (14)
RSI (Relative Strength Index)A momentum gauge from 0 to 100, usually over 14 days. Above 70 is called overbought and below 30 oversold, but in a strong trend RSI can stay there for weeks — it is not a buy or sell instruction. GlossaryCEPB reads 27.3 — oversold zone (below 30). Above 70 is conventionally read as overbought, below 30 as oversold; dashed lines mark both.
MACD (12, 26, 9)
MACDThe 12-day exponential moving average minus the 26-day, with a 9-day signal line on top. A cross above the signal line means short-term momentum has turned up; it lags, and misfires in sideways markets. GlossaryCEPB reads -0.535 — below its signal line: momentum fading. Bars show the gap between MACD and its signal line.

What this means: CEPB scores 42 on a 0–100 check built only from the figures we hold for it — P/E and volatility. 50 is neutral; compare it within a sector, not across sectors. A dash in the table is a figure we do not hold for CEPB; it adds nothing to the score rather than being guessed.

CEPB — frequently asked questions
What is CEPB's share price today?
Century Paper & Board Mills Limited (CEPB) last traded at Rs 22.90 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, down 8.47% on the session of 29 October 2026. The day's range was Rs 22.52 to Rs 25.45 on 2,859,276 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 CEPB on the PSX?
CEPB has traded between Rs 22.52 and Rs 44.98 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.
Is CEPB Shariah-compliant on the PSX?
Yes. The Pakistan Stock Exchange lists CEPB in its Shariah-screened KMI All Share index, 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 CEPB part of?
CEPB is a constituent of the KSE All Share 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 CEPB expensive? What are its valuation ratios?
CEPB trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 152.7, so the market is paying about Rs 152.7 for each rupee of annual earnings and earnings per share of Rs 0.15. 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 model outlook for CEPB?
Our model currently reads CEPB as strongly bearish over a short term horizon, at 50% confidence. It is computed from this stock's own price and indicator history. It does not read news, financial statements or management changes, its graded record against the base rate is published on the page, and it is not investment advice.
