About Lotte Chemical Pakistan Ltd

Lotte Chemical Pakistan makes purified terephthalic acid, a chemical used to produce polyester, at its manufacturing site near Karachi. Its customers are mainly polyester fibre, filament and resin producers, along with textile and packaging businesses that rely on polyester as a raw material. The company operates as part of the Korean Lotte Group and is based in Pakistan, where it supplies the domestic polyester chain and related industrial markets.

The shares are listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange in Pakistan under the code LOTCHEM, and the price on this page is in Pakistani rupees (PKR). Our dividend records, which start in 2019, show payments in 6 different calendar years. The Market X-Ray on this page is price-based and compares it with other stocks on the same exchange; it does not measure how healthy the business is.

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: 0.74, 1.75, 3.35, 6.68. 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.
