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.<\/p>\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NPL has surprised many as even after announcing a lower than expected dividend, it has been able to sustain its price, giving investors 50% returns since July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EPQL and SPWL have been disappointing and despite both giving a small dividend, their shareholders are down since the start of July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
