Pakistan Stock Exchange’s KSE-100 Index posted a 9 percent rise in profitability in 2025, with total earnings reaching around US$6.3 billion, according to market data shared by Topline Securities.
However, the overall growth masked sharp divergence across sectors. Exploration & Production (E&P) companies recorded a steep 22 percent decline in absolute earnings, bringing everything down at the main bourse.
Excluding E&Ps, the market showed 15 percent higher returns.
The earnings expansion was primarily driven by banks, cement, technology, and automobile sectors, which collectively offset weakness in energy-linked companies and underscored a broad-based recovery trend across the index.
Market performance charts show a clear concentration of gains in these leading sectors, while E&Ps lagged notably behind, pulling down headline growth.
