PCAL share price and analysis
Pakistan Cables Limited (PCAL) last traded at Rs 123.61 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, where it fell 3.37% on the session of 29 October 2026. Turnover was thin at 38,997 shares, a turnover of Rs 4.8 million, so the closing price rests on a small number of trades. Over the past year the share has traded between Rs 122.50 and Rs 240.73, putting the current price close to its 12-month low.
The price sits below both its 20-day (133.85) and 50-day (147.95) moving averages, which is the configuration usually read as a downtrend. The 14-day RSI is 19.8, in territory conventionally described as oversold, which reflects the strength of recent selling rather than predicting a reversal. ADX at 47.7 indicates a trending market rather than a range.
The company is capitalised at roughly Rs 6.7 billion and is classified under Cable & Electrical Goods. It trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 40.5, meaning the market is paying about Rs 40.5 for every rupee of annual earnings. Earnings per share stand at Rs 3.05. A beta of 0.88 against the KSE-100 means the share has moved less sharply than the wider market over the past year.
PCAL ranks 4th of 8 Cable & Electrical Goods companies by market value. Its price-to-earnings ratio of 40.5 compares with the Cable & Electrical Goods median of 17.7, 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 PCAL 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.

PCAL technical indicators — RSI, MACD & moving averages
Momentum and trend gauges for PCAL 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. GlossaryPCAL reads 19.8 — 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. GlossaryPCAL reads -5.289 — below its signal line: momentum fading.

What this means: PCAL 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 PCAL; it adds nothing to the score rather than being guessed.

PCAL — frequently asked questions
What is PCAL's share price today?
Pakistan Cables Limited (PCAL) last traded at Rs 123.61 on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, down 3.37% on the session of 29 October 2026. The day's range was Rs 122.50 to Rs 135.00 on 38,997 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 PCAL on the PSX?
PCAL has traded between Rs 122.50 and Rs 240.73 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 PCAL Shariah-compliant on the PSX?
No. PCAL is not currently in the exchange's Shariah-screened KMI All Share or KMI-30 index, so on the exchange's own screening it does not qualify as Shariah-compliant. That screening covers both the business activity and financial ratios such as interest-bearing debt, and it is reviewed periodically rather than continuously.
Which PSX indices is PCAL part of?
PCAL is a constituent of the KSE 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 PCAL expensive? What are its valuation ratios?
PCAL trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of 40.5, so the market is paying about Rs 40.5 for each rupee of annual earnings and earnings per share of Rs 3.05. 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 PCAL?
Our model currently reads PCAL 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.
