Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) rejected recent media reports on May 1, 2026, calling "baseless and speculative" suggestions of a potential change in e&'s investment position in Pakistan. PTCL stated it was unaware of the sources cited in the reports and stressed the need for accurate reporting to prevent unnecessary market speculation. This denial followed earlier reports on May 1, which indicated that e& was reviewing its investment in Pakistan, potentially leading to an exit from PTCL. Insiders cited in the reports suggested e&'s review was driven by a combination of global macroeconomic uncertainty, regional geopolitical tensions, and evolving capital allocation strategies among sovereign-linked investors.
