Trust Securities & Brokerage Limited (PSX: TSBL) has announced plans to subdivide its shares and launch a new subsidiary focused on digital infrastructure, signaling a strategic drive toward increased investor engagement and technological expansion. The Board of Directors approved the proposals in a meeting held on November 17, 2025, with the share subdivision expected to proceed upon approval at an upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting (EOGM).
Under the proposed subdivision, TSBL’s existing shares, currently valued at Rs. 10 each, will be divided into Rs. 1 shares in a 1:10 ratio. This will increase the total number of shares from 30 million to 300 million, allowing shareholders to receive ten new shares for every one held. The company emphasized that this measure is aimed at enhancing shareholder value by improving liquidity, broadening investor access, and enabling a more diverse participation base in the capital market.
Industry analysts note that such share subdivisions are often used to make stock more affordable and attractive to smaller investors, potentially stimulating market activity and increasing overall investor engagement. For a company like TSBL, listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, this move could also improve trading volumes and visibility among retail and institutional investors alike.
In parallel with the share subdivision, TSBL’s Board approved the formation of a wholly-owned subsidiary that will operate a full-scale data centre and data warehouse business. This subsidiary is intended to provide integrated solutions combining physical data infrastructure with advanced analytics and business intelligence capabilities. By leveraging such infrastructure, TSBL aims to support data-driven decision-making both internally and for clients, while positioning itself as a technologically forward financial services provider in Pakistan’s growing fintech landscape.
The data centre initiative is expected to enhance operational efficiency, strengthen the company’s IT capabilities, and create opportunities for offering new services to institutional clients requiring secure and scalable data solutions. This strategic move reflects broader trends in the financial services sector, where firms are increasingly investing in digital infrastructure to manage and monetize large volumes of data for analytics, compliance, and advisory purposes.
TSBL’s management has highlighted that both initiatives—the share subdivision and the data centre subsidiary—are designed to deliver long-term value for shareholders while expanding the company’s technological and operational capacity. The Pakistan Stock Exchange has been formally requested to notify all concerned stakeholders about the planned actions.
As Pakistan’s financial and technology ecosystems continue to intersect, TSBL’s dual approach underscores a commitment to innovation, transparency, and growth. By making its shares more accessible and investing in digital infrastructure, the company aims to position itself at the forefront of data-driven financial services, benefiting both investors and clients seeking sophisticated solutions.
