Investor optimism at the Pakistan Stock Exchange took a hit this week as floods disrupted key regions across the country. The benchmark KSE-100 index declined by 875 points, or 0.58%, closing at 148,618, reflecting growing caution amid climate-related risks.

Despite the broader pullback, selective buying remained strong, particularly in companies that posted earnings above market expectations. DG Khan Cement (DGKC) led the charge, topping the list of outperformers.

In this episode of Stock Watch, Nukta’s Shuja Qureshi sits down with Shahbaz Ashraf, Head of Research at Nukta, and Mustafa Pasha, Chief Investment Officer at Lakson Investments, to unpack the impact of the floods on investor sentiment and explore the likely trajectory of the market in the coming days.
