Karachi: The Pakistan Stock Exchange has announced revisions to the trading and settlement schedules for Deliverable Future Contracts (DFC) for October, November, and December 2026. This adjustment follows the announcement of book closure dates by several listed companies.

The companies affected by this change include D.G Khan Cement Company Limited, Kot Addu Power Company Limited, Millat Tractors Limited, Mughal Iron & Steel Industries Limited, National Foods Limited, Nishat Power Limited, and Pakistan State Oil Limited.

For these companies, the cum-benefit trading and settlement schedule is structured to conclude on October 14, 2026, for contracts opened in August and September, with settlement occurring on October 15, 2026. Meanwhile, the schedule without the entitlement of benefit initiates on October 12, 2026, and extends to various closing and settlement dates through late December.

Additionally, Hum Network Limited, Image Pakistan Limited, Nishat Mills Limited, and Pakistan Petroleum Limited have been included in a separate schedule adjustment.
