PSX income statement only (no balance sheet or cash flow): only earnings and sales models can be built. Their weights were fitted to a professional consensus-style valuation of Pakistani stocks and checked on stocks that were not used for the fit, but they use no analyst forecasts. Treat this as a rough estimate.

Each model multiplies the company's trailing-twelve-month earnings (or sales) by a multiple that blends its own current multiple, its own history and its sector median. Earnings per share by fiscal year, newest first: 15.73, 14.51, 14.79, 9.70. Source: statements and price from the Pakistan Stock Exchange portal and end-of-day data.

Built from the income-statement summary the Pakistan Stock Exchange publishes (sales, profit and EPS for up to four financial years, trailing P/E, market value) and our own end-of-day prices. The PSX portal has no balance sheet or cash flow, so there are no debt, cash-flow or book-value factors. A factor is left out when its data is missing or meaningless (for example a P/E on a loss). These ratings compare companies with each other and describe the past; they are not a forecast, a recommendation or part of the Market X-Ray.
