Chemical
Descon Oxychem Limited
Descon Oxychem Limited (PSX: DOL) is a Pakistani chemical manufacturer incorporated in 2004 and commercially operational since March 2009. Its principal business is the manufacture, procurement and sale of hydrogen peroxide and allied products used in industries such as textiles, pulp and paper, water treatment, mining, food processing and sugar. In FY2026, the company reported sales of approximately Rs.4.99 billion and profit after tax of Rs.303.34 million, compared with sales of Rs.5.92 billion and profit of Rs.790.16 million in FY2025. This indicates lower revenue and profitability year over year. DOL was classified as Shariah-compliant in the PSX-KMI All Share Islamic Index screening published in May 2026. However, PSX displays a Risk Warning Alert concerning possible suspension or delisting, which investors should review separately from financial performance and Shariah screening.
Chemical
Engro Polymer & Chemicals Limited
Engro Polymer & Chemicals Limited (PSX: EPCL) is a Pakistani chemical manufacturer and part of the Engro Group. The company manufactures and markets polyvinyl chloride (PVC), vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), caustic soda and other industrial chemicals used in construction, infrastructure, manufacturing and related industries. It has also expanded its portfolio through downstream PVC products and hydrogen peroxide operations. EPCL's earnings depend on PVC and chemical-market demand, international product and feedstock prices, energy costs, exchange-rate movements, plant utilization and financing expenses. Its latest nine-month results for 2026 showed a return to profitability, although the third quarter recorded a substantial consolidated loss. The company was included in the PSX-KMI All Share Islamic Index screening published in May 2026, based on financial information available through December 31, 2025. Investors should independently monitor subsequent Shariah screening results. PSX also displays a Risk Warning Alert for EPCL, citing potential trading suspension or delisting risk under specified exchange regulations. Shariah-screening status and exchange regulatory status are separate matters and should both be considered before making an investment decision.
