The price side of a dividend
Closes, changes and 52-week places for ten companies, and how an ex-date moves the printed price.
The price on the day
The board shows the close of 6 November 2026, the previous close and the change. 5 of the ten companies (PAKT, EFERT, HUBC, ABL, BAHL) carry XD. For 3 of them (PAKT −0.48% on PSX against −3.77%, HUBC −0.71% on PSX against −3.10%, ABL +0.38% on PSX against −1.91%) the change differs between PSX and the second source, because PSX adjusts its previous close (LDCP) on an XD day and the second source does not. For the others, the two agree.
A change on an ex-date mixes the market's move with the mechanical adjustment for the dividend. The page does not try to separate them.

What the ranges say, and not
2 of the ten closes are in the lowest quarter of their own 52-week range and 0 in the highest; NBP is nearest its low (20.5 of 100) and COLG nearest its high (62.4).
A close low in its range raises the dividend per rupee invested if the dividend stays the same, and says nothing about whether it will. The place is a location, not a signal.

Questions about dividends
Why does a share fall on its ex-date?
Because the share no longer carries the declared dividend; the price is adjusted for the amount.
What is place in the range?
(close − low) ÷ (high − low) times 100, with the 52-week extremes as the source prints them.
Is the close a price I can pay?
No. It is the last price of a finished session.
