Price & moving averages

Split- and bonus-adjusted closes. The 50- and 200-day averages are the standard trend read: price above both is an uptrend, below both a downtrend. Markers on the axis are bonus issues and dividends.

Volume

A price move on unusually heavy volume carries more conviction than the same move on thin trade.

vs KSE100 (rebased to 100)

Both series start at 100 so relative performance is directly comparable. Price basis on both sides — the KSE-100 is a price index and does not reinvest dividends, so a total-return line here would flatter the stock.

Returns by horizon

Price is the share price alone, split- and bonus-adjusted — the like-for-like comparison with the KSE-100, which is itself a price index. Total adds dividends reinvested. On a high-yield stock these differ by a lot: the gap is what the company has paid you in cash.

Total return ?Total ReturnPrice change plus dividends reinvested — what you would actually have made holding the share.Higher is betterOn a high-yield stock this can be several times the price return. Do not compare it against a price index.
