Best growth stocks on PSX: the fastest-growing profits, updated daily
PSX companies whose earnings per share grew fastest over the past year, with sales growth, price and market cap, refreshed daily. How to tell lasting growth from a one-off.
By the Nafa team · Updated · 3 min read
Share prices follow profits over time. A company that keeps growing its earnings tends to see its share price follow, sooner or later. This list ranks PSX companies by how fast their earnings per share (EPS) grew over the past year. It only includes companies whose sales are growing too, so a cost cut or a one-off gain doesn't pass for growth.
The table updates itself: prices through the trading day, growth figures as new results are filed.
The fastest-growing profits on PSX today
Ranked by growth in earnings per share over the past year, companies worth at least Rs 2 billion, with sales also growing. Growth above 500% is left out as usually a one-off. Prices are from the session of 13 Nov 2026. Source: Pakistan Stock Exchange data via Ticker Analysts. Ratios are from each company’s latest filings and are refreshed daily.
This list is a starting point for research, not a recommendation to buy or sell. Investing in securities involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
How growth is measured here
- Earnings per share growth compares the company's profit per share over the latest year with the year before.
- Only companies with profit growth above 15% and rising sales are included, and only those making a profit (a positive P/E). A company going from a tiny profit to a normal one can show growth of thousands of percent, so anything above 500% is left out.
- Companies worth less than Rs 2 billion are left out, because small, rarely traded shares can be hard to buy and sell at a fair price.
Why growth on PSX is often cyclical
Most of the exchange's biggest profit jumps don't come from companies steadily growing for a decade. They come from the economy turning:
- Interest rates. When the State Bank cuts rates, companies with heavy borrowing (cement, steel, textiles) save on interest, and demand for cars, homes and consumer goods picks up.
- Commodity prices. Oil, coal, fertiliser and cotton prices swing the profits of whole sectors.
- The rupee. Exporters earn more when the rupee weakens; importers of raw materials earn less.
Cyclical growth is still growth, but it can reverse when the cycle turns. A company growing because its market is expanding or it's winning customers deserves a closer look than one riding a commodity price.
Four questions to ask about a fast grower
- Is it recurring? Look at the last few quarters, not just the yearly number. A single gain from selling land or an investment can make one year look spectacular.
- Are margins rising or just sales? Growth that comes from higher prices or better efficiency usually lasts longer than growth from selling more at thinner margins.
- Does cash back it up? Profit should turn into cash from operations. If receivables and inventory are piling up, the profit is on paper.
- Is it already in the price? Compare the P/E with the growth rate. A company growing 20% a year on a P/E of 8 is priced very differently from one growing 20% on a P/E of 40.
Each company's page on Nafa shows yearly and quarterly results, margins and cash flow, so you can answer these from one screen.
