Undervalued Stocks of PSX

Let’s understand this with an example of TPLP(which is a company listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange PSX). Let’s say in March 2021 you invested 1 lac rupees in TPL Properties Limited (TPLP) at a share price of 10 rupees and you get about 10,000 shares.

After about 5 months in September 2021, the share price touches all-time high of 67 rupees. That’s a gain of 148% in 5 months. Now your initial investment of 1 lac is worth about 2,48,000. You doubled your investment in nearly 5 months.

But after touching an all-time high the TPLP stock has seen a fall and since then it has seen a huge drop in its value, currently, it stands at Rs 31. This shows the stock was overvalued by investors.
