SECP approves 10 IPOs for listing on PSX

Pakistan’s capital market continued its strong growth momentum during the first half of 2026 as the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) approved ten Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) for listing on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). Nine companies have successfully completed their IPOs, raising more than Rs. 20 billion, while the book building for LSE SPAC-II is scheduled to take place in the coming days. The strong IPO pipeline came despite heightened regional uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, reflecting the resilience of Pakistan’s capital market and growing investor confidence. During the recent regional conflict, the Pakistan Stock Exchange outperformed many regional markets, supported by strong domestic institutional participation, improving macroeconomic fundamentals, and renewed investor optimism.
