Karachi, October 10, 2023 (PPI-OT): In an exciting development for the capital markets and the economy as a whole, Pakistan Stock Exchange announces the much-awaited awardees list of the Top 25 Companies Awards recipients for the year 2022. These are the most prestigious and coveted awards in the corporate sector and were initiated by the Exchange in the year 1978. The selected companies have excelled on the basis of their financial performance, governance and operational achievements as well as Sustainability and ESG related initiatives. They truly are leaders in all respects in Pakistan’s corporate sector.

The PSX Top 25 Companies Awards recognizes companies achieving certain key pre-requisites for this prestigious award which include having a minimum dividend distribution of 30% and shares of the company having been traded atleast 75% of the total trading days in a year, among other pre-requisites. Subject to achieving these pre-requisites, the companies are further weighed based on certain quantitative and qualitative criteria. In terms of quantitative criteria, PSX selects listed companies which have performed exceptionally in the context of profitability ratios, dividend related ratios, and turnover of shares, among other specifics. In terms of qualitative criteria, PSX selects high-performing listed companies based on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), reporting on SDGs, ESG related initiatives, and Diversity and Inclusivity, among other considerations.

Announcing the PSX Top 25 Companies names for 2022, the MD and CEO PSX, Mr. Farrukh H. Khan, stated, “On behalf of Pakistan Stock Exchange, I extend my warmest congratulations to the recipients of the PSX Top 25 Companies Awards 2022.
