It operates refineries that process crude oil into fuels and other petroleum products, including lubricating oils, greases and asphalt, which it supplies to customers in Pakistan and abroad. The company is part of the Attock Group and serves industrial, commercial and retail markets through its refining and product distribution activities.
The shares are listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange in Pakistan under the code NRL, and the price on this page is in Pakistani rupees (PKR). Our dividend records, which start in 2019, show payments in 2 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.

Data under review
Too few of our models give a usable value for this company, so we show no number rather than a misleading one.
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.
P/E multiple
PKR 587.740
P/S multiple
PKR 644.390
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: 77.09, -185.91, -197.46, -55.81. Source: statements and price from the Pakistan Stock Exchange portal and end-of-day data. A model estimate, not a price target or advice. How it works.

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.
