Karachi: Trust Modaraba has come under scrutiny following an unusual movement in the price and volume of its traded certificates, according to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).
On July 23, 2025, the PSX observed significant irregularities in the trading patterns of Trust Modaraba's certificates, which fall under the designated market category. This development has prompted regulatory attention under Section 97 of the Securities Act, 2015, and clause 5.6.3 of PSX Regulations, which mandate listed companies to disclose any relevant information that could explain such market activity.
Trust Modaraba is now required to assess whether there are any internal or external factors contributing to the irregular movements. If no such factors are identified, the company must publicly state its unawareness of any developments that might have influenced the trading patterns.
The PSX regulations emphasize the necessity for listed companies to immediately share any material or price-sensitive information that could impact the market. Trust Modaraba has been advised to provide adequate information to clarify the situation through PUCARS, an electronic disclosure platform, to ensure transparency and maintain investor confidence.
The unusual movement observed is categorized as a very large or significant move, suggesting a substantial deviation from typical trading volumes and price fluctuations. This categorization underscores the need for thorough investigation and prompt disclosure to mitigate any potential market disruption.
Market participants and investors await further communications from Trust Modaraba as the situation unfolds, emphasizing the importance of adherence to regulatory standards in maintaining market integrity.
