October 13, 2026 (MLN): Pakistan Engineering Company Limited (PSX:PECO) has avoided immediate action from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) after it submitted a cheque for the penalty it had earlier failed to pay, with the exchange holding back compulsory buy-back directions to its majority shareholders and sponsors until the cheque clears.

If the company fails to fix the non-compliance, PSX will issue the buy-back directions to the sponsors having control of the company.

If PECO does rectify it, the Risk Warning Alert (RWA) against it will be withdrawn, although the company will stay in the Non-Compliant Segment.

PSX said in a notice that this follows its earlier Notice No. PSX/N-882 of July 14, 2026, which placed an RWA on PECO for not paying the penalty imposed under Clause 5.21.1 of the PSX Regulations within the stipulated time.

The exchange noted that PECO had shown improvement towards rectifying its non-compliance with Clause 5.11.1(d) of the Regulations by submitting the cheque.

It is therefore withholding further action under Clause 5.11.3, namely the issuance of buy-back directions under Clause 5.11.3(e), pending clearance of the cheque.

The exchange added that the company’s continued listing in the Non-Compliant Segment falls under Clause 5.11.1(g) and advised all concerned to take note.
