Stock returns since IMF announcement – Power Sector
Power Sector has been in the news lately after the government released a part of the payments it owed to companies in the sector. The speculation around the eventual dividend caused a lot of shares’ prices to skyrocket, giving traders and speculators handsome returns.
As is always the case in the stock market, it is not easy to predict share price movements or payouts. The same was the case here.
Two companies, Lalpir Power Limited(LPL) and PAKGEN Power Limited(PKGP) each announced a Rs. 15 dividend, further fueling the speculation. However, only LPL was able to give sustainable returns of 81% to the shareholders. PKGP shareholders were only able to get a paltry 7.5% return.

EPQL and SPWL have been disappointing and despite both giving a small dividend, their shareholders are down since the start of July.
