The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed heavy selling pressure today, with the benchmark index losing more than 2,500 points after Engro Fertilizers’ (EFERT) 4Q2025 results failed to meet market expectations.
Investor sentiment turned negative right from the opening bell as EFERT reported EPS of Rs. 6.26 for the fourth quarter along with a relatively muted dividend payout of Rs. 4.0 per share. The below-par performance disappointed investors and acted as a catalyst for broad-based selling across the market.
The bearish momentum intensified throughout the session, with sellers dominating trading activity. The benchmark index plunged to an intraday low of 4,324 points, before settling at 180,512, marking a decline of 2,537 points or 1.40 percent by the close.
Market participants attributed the sharp downturn to profit-taking and weakened confidence following EFERT’s earnings surprise, which weighed heavily on sentiment in fertilizer and related sectors.
Analysts suggest that the near-term trajectory of the market will depend on upcoming corporate results, macroeconomic indicators, and overall investor confidence.
