Pakistan’s capital market remained stable despite challenging global conditions, and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) approved the IPO of Service Long March Tyres.

However, the country’s stock exchange continues to offer new opportunities for capital, symbolized by an ongoing series of new listings. These new offerings indicate continuous opportunities for astute market participants.

In a move today, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) formally approved the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Service Long March Tyres. This company specializes in the production of radial tires for trucks and buses.

This upcoming public listing marks the twelfth such equity offering in the current financial year, as confirmed by the market regulator. Over 389.7 million shares will be available for sale in the flotation.
