AI picks: best buys and must sells

Every weekday after the close, an AI model reads a table of the 150 most traded PSX shares (returns, trend, valuation, results, payouts and filings) and names its best buys and must sells. Earlier picks are tracked against the price at the pick.

The KSE-100 closed at 168,580 on 2026-10-07, roughly flat over the week after a 2,288-point plunge on political noise on 10-05 and a 2,593-point rally on easing political concerns on 10-06. Participation is thin: only 19% of stocks rose over the week, and traded value fell to Rs 18.4bn a day against Rs 29.5bn over three months. Refineries are the lone strong sector (up 9.3% in a month), while transport, property and power lag.

Refiners and dividend-paying E&Ps hold up in a weak, low-volume tape, and several big payout book closures fall due around 10-09 to 10-13. Broken names with falling volume and heavy weekly losses remain ones to avoid.
