Lowest P/E

The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio divides a company's share price by its earnings per share — in effect, the price you pay for one rupee of annual profit. This screen ranks liquid PSX companies (market cap above Rs 1 billion) from the lowest trailing P/E upward. A low multiple can flag genuine value: steady earners that the market is pricing cheaply relative to profits. It can also be a warning — cyclical earnings near a peak, one-off gains inflating the E, or structural doubts about the business. Treat this list as a starting universe for value research, not a buy list: check earnings quality in the Financials section of each stock page, compare the multiple against the sector median shown there, and confirm the dividend record if income matters to you. Ratios refresh with company results and daily prices.

You are paying less per rupee of earnings than for higher-multiple stocks. It can signal value — or the market pricing in earnings decline. The ratio alone never tells the whole story.

Their earnings swing with interest rates and commodity cycles, so the market applies a lower multiple near perceived earnings peaks. Compare each stock with its own sector median before concluding it is cheap.

They answer different questions — P/E measures the price of earnings, yield measures cash returned. Value investors often use both; see the Highest Dividend Yield list for the income screen.

Yes — one-off gains, revaluations, or depressed prices ahead of bad news can all distort it. Check several years of earnings in the Financials section before acting.
