September 11, 2020 (MNL): The KSE-100 index ended the trading session on Friday with a 116.68 point or 0.27 percent decline to close at 42,530.67.

The benchmark index followed the route of international markets, which resumed their downward path Friday following another tech-led rout on Wall Street as investors fret over high valuations, while the failure of US lawmakers to reach agreement on a much-needed stimulus added to the gloom.

Further pressure on the benchmark index was witnessed when the financial results of PPL, which showed profits of Rs. 49.4 billion (EPS: 18.16) for the year ended June 30, 2020, failed to meet the market expectations.

The Auto sector emerged as one of the gaining sectors due to the positive results published by PAMA for the month of August, which showed that the sector experienced a 16% MoM growth in volumetric sale.

Another important highlight of the day was the announcement by MLCF to invest up to 200 million in Kohinoor Textile Mills Limited.
