Share the post "A Honda CD70 or Atlas Honda Shares? The Viral PSX Calculation Leaves Out the Ride"
In 2011, Rs63,000 could reportedly buy a Honda CD70. In a thread that travelled across Pakistani X, Aneeq Iftikhar asked what would have happened if that money had instead bought shares in Atlas Honda, the company behind the motorcycle. His answer was striking: approximately 444 shares at Rs142 each, valued at about Rs681,000 using his stated 2026 average share price of Rs1,532.70. Atlas Honda currently lists a new CD70 at Rs159,900, so that illustrative share value would buy a little over four new bikes. The last bike price is directly verifiable on the manufacturer’s website; the historical purchase price and annual average share prices in the thread still need a dated price series before they can be treated as an independently audited investment return.

The thread deserves attention because it puts a Pakistani manufacturer, a Pakistani product and the Pakistan Stock Exchange’s ATLH listing into one understandable example. It also deserves careful arithmetic. Rs63,000 divided by Rs142 is 443.66 shares: buying 443 whole shares would cost Rs62,906, leaving Rs94, while buying 444 would cost Rs63,048. That small rounding difference barely affects the illustration, but clarity matters when the conclusion is presented as a precise 15-year return.
| Item | Thread’s assumption or calculation | What it establishes |
|---|---|---|
| 2011 CD70 price | Around Rs63,000 | The proposed starting budget; independently dated evidence is still needed |
| 2011 ATLH price | Around Rs142 per share | The proposed entry price; the purchase date and treatment of corporate actions matter |
| Shares used in thread | 444 | Requires Rs63,048 at exactly Rs142 per share |
| 2026 ATLH price | Rs1,532.70 annual average stated in thread | An illustrative valuation, not a sale price on a specified day |
| Value of 444 shares | Rs680,518.80 | Arithmetic based on the thread’s assumptions |
| New CD70 price | Rs159,900 | Manufacturer’s listed price when checked |
| New CD70s represented | About 4.26 | A purchasing-power comparison, before transaction costs or taxes |
The first, second and fourth figures are attributed to Iftikhar’s thread; the current CD70 price comes from Atlas Honda. Calculated rows are our arithmetic, not additional market data. Fuel Efficiency & Reliability in Pakistan
