Weekly Review
The market started off on a weak note, with the market
participants pricing in rising domestic COVID-19 cases and
uncertainty on the US election outcome. The benchmark KSE-100 index
shed 775pts (-1.94%) on the first trading session of the week.
Softer than expected inflation reading (8.9%YoY vs. 9.2% consensus
estimate), encouraging volumetric offtakes in Cement and OMC
sectors, electricity package for the SME (50% tariff reduction on
incremental usage) and general industry (25% tariff reduction on
incremental usage), and rebound in global markets turned the tide,
with KSE-100 index registering 3.5% gain on the second trading
session, paring all previous day losses. After a brief respite on
Wednesday, the domestic market regained momentum in line with its
global peers, pricing in relatively better visibility on the US
election outcome, with Demo-crats likely to take control of the
White House and Republicans expected to maintain their majori-ty in
Senate. Overall, the KSE-100 index gained 2.11%WoW (+844pts) to
close the week at 40,732pts. Market participation witnessed a
reduction of 21.6%WoW, with an average daily trad-ing volume of
368.2mn shares. Activity remained concentrated in high beta stocks,
with UNITY (203.2mn shares), HASCOL (133.6mn shares), POWER
(123.1mn shares), PRL (101.5mn shares), and TRG (82.4mn shares)
being the top-5 volume churners. Other key news flows impacting the
market performance during the week included: i) ECC approving PM’s
PKR24 package for farmers, with a proposal to reduce DAP prices by
PKR1000 per bag, ii) the federal gov’t marginally reducing the POL
product prices (MOGAS/HSD: -PKR1.57/0.84 per ltr), iii) SC
dismissing review petitions against GIDC while extending the
payment deadline by another 36 months, iv) FBR raising PKR1.33trn
in tax collection during 4MFY21, surpassing its relatively soft
target of PkR1.32trn, and v) trade balance improving by
14.46%YoY/28.5%MoM during Oct’20, with exports growing by
3.07%/10.16%MoM while imports declining by 5.73%YoY/11.595MoM.
Performance-wise, TRG (+17.1%WoW) , HMB (+15.6%WoW) , LOTCHEM
(+14%WoW) , FFBL (+10.9%WoW), and POL (+9.6%WoW) were the top
gainers, while laggards included GATI (+7.2%WoW), MUREB (-4.0%WoW),
APL (-3.2%WoW), ANL (-2.8%WoW), and PAKT (-2.8%WoW).

In the near term, the domestic market will continue to closely
track global markets, with the out-come of the US presidential
election dictating market sentiment. On the domestic front, a
rising C-19 caseload could trigger risk-off sentiment, keeping the
market under pressure. Relatively weaker market participation in
the latter part of the week also points towards some risk aversion.
From a macro vantage, CA numbers and MPS announcement later this
month will be on top of investors’ minds, where encouraging trade
numbers point to another positive reading on the external side. On
MPS, we expect the central bank to remain on hold with a view to
support do-mestic economic activity.

Pak Strategy: US elections – More things change, more they stay
the same, (AKD Daily, Nov 06, 2020)
In arguably one of the most analyzed events occurring at regular
intervals (every four years) globally, we find clarity emerging in
the impasse for the US Presidential election vote count, where it
seems highly likely (multiple paths to electoral majority) that we
will find a 46th occu-pant of the White House in Former Vice
President Joe Biden.
In this rare event of a US president losing reelection, we opine
on the role played by US macros asserting that outperformance by
emerging markets during Republican terms have more to do with
dollar positioning (strength/weakness) rather than any political
setups, hence flagging the negligible role in forecasting equity
market performance solely on the basis of political regime.
Looking ahead, a sustained environment of negative real interest
rates and the need to en-courage foreign investors to fund US
deficits in the wake of the stimulus package would keep the dollar
under pressure where conventional understanding assumes Biden is
able to execute his proposal to raise corporate taxes, driving
outflows from US equities.
From a domestic macro perspective, commodity prices could
undergo a bull-run, fueled by historic low-interest rates,
trillions in US fiscal stimulus, recovering pandemic-struck
economies across the globe (amidst vaccine optimism) where we
remain cautious on the external math unraveling (~5% rise in core
import/oil commodity prices would expand CAD by
~US$1.0/0.35bn).
For Pakistan, under a Biden presidency, re-setting of relations
with China is the major bench-mark for US foreign policy going
forward, where unilateral or antagonistic actions could take a back
seat. Pakistan is expected to remain prominent, not just in terms
of US troops pulling out from Afghanistan (major shifts in policy
unlikely) but also with any re-engagement of US policy with Muslim
majority countries, and of course developments in the domain of
China & India relations.
Pakistan Cement: Demand remains upbeat, calling for expansions,
(AKD Daily, Nov 05, 2020)
Local cement dispatches extended their outstanding run with an
increase of 16/19% YoY/MoM to 4.9mn tons for Oct’20 where South
fared better amongst the two regions, witnessing an increase of
18/23%YoY/MoM while North posted an increase of 16/18% YoY/MoM.
Exports slowed down with a sequential decline of 22% as local
players shift their sales mix to-wards local market to take
advantage of higher retention prices at offer with impressive
de-mand growth in the backdrop. For 4MFY21, local dispatches stand
at 10.8mn tons, up 19%YoY.
Given high utilization (101% for North) and support being
provided by government in terms of expediting regulatory procedures
and a concessionary financing facility (TERF), we believe
announcements of capacity expansion can arrive earlier than
expected.
We continue to like MLCF (TP: PkR47.4/sh) and LUCK (TP:
PkR761.3/sh) from the AKD cement universe with the former being one
of the lowest cost producers implying lower sensitivity to retail
price variations, while latter’s cost efficiencies coupled with
diversified investments make it a safe play.
Pakistan OMCs: FO volumes refuse to stay down, (AKD Daily, Nov
04, 2020)
OMC volumes witnessed an increase of 6%YoY for Oct'20 where
sporadic FO sales took the lead (up 46%YoY) on the back of
increased FO-based power generation (captive and grid), while
retail staples, MS/HSD witnessed a meagre increase of 1/3%YoY
translating into ex-FO sales remaining flat.
Overall, local OMC sales have started FY21 on a strong footing,
up 9%YoY for 4MFY21 (up 4% excluding FO) where FO again leads the
pack with growth of 33%YoY while MS/HSD follow with growth of 6/8%
YoY.
Market shares remain in flux with PSO/APL/HASCOL/SHEL accounting
for market shares of 45/10/5/8% during Oct'20 where a comparison
with Oct'19 reveals decreasing share of PSO/HASCOL/SHEL by
0.6/2.5/0.7ppts while market share of APL increased by 0.4ppts.
APL (TP: PkR400.2/sh, 25.2% upside) continues to be the safe
stalwart in the sector with high refinery upliftment guarding the
company against fluctuating oil prices. PSO's investment case

remains pinned to "reading the tea leaves" on circular debt
clearance following the Govt's agreement with IPPs (yet to be
formalized), where a strong policy response can result in
significant price performance.
HUBC: An exciting story; twists and turns ahead, (AKD Daily, Nov
03, 2020)
We revisit our investment case on Hub Power Company Ltd post
release of detailed financial accounts. The company posted 46/20%
YoY/QoQ higher NPAT of PkR8.4bn (EPS: PkR6.28) in 1QFY21. More
importantly, HUBC also announced first interim cash dividend of
PkR4.0/sh, after a dry spell since 8 consecutive quarters.
Analyzing details of debt repayments (particularly for equity
investments), we flag a promi-nent FY23 peak burdening cash flows
and shaping payouts to trend in a “U-shape” going forward. Aware of
the same, management may remain conservative in the near term to
avoid any unsustainable bump in payout policy. Based on lower of
the two, FCFE/sh and ROEs of existing power projects, we forecast
DPS of PkR7.0/10.0 per share in FY21/22F (dividends from CPHGC, a
determining factor).
We also tweak our earnings estimates for HUBC, as we incorporate
(i) HUBC’s 38.3% stake in ThalNova Power Project (financial close
achieved in Sep’20; expected CoD: Jun’22), (ii) 6 months’ delay in
CoD of 60% owned Thar Energy Ltd (TEL), and (iii) 25% tax rate on
income from 2015 power policy projects.
Management is also considering multiple plans for utilization of
hitherto closed Base plant, where any cash injection after
signature of agreements with GoP (Feb’20) should make room for
CAPEX. Our revised TP of PkR168/sh implies an upside of 107% at
last close—Buy.
Pakistan Strategy: Market momentum bent not broken, (AKD Daily,
Nov 02, 2020)
Holding out against COVID-19 resurgence, FATF plenary outcome
and political noise amidst a consolidating macro backdrop, the
KSE-100 index succumbed, falling 1.7%MoM, with aver-age volumes
depleting 25%MoM, and a seasonal pivot to blue-chip plays ahead of
earnings season
Isolating sectoral performance MoM we highlight the role of
side-stocks and idiosyncratic sectoral catalysts in driving market
performance, where further comparison on CYTD basis emphasizes the
role played by these “off-board” sectors favored by retail
investors, where improved risk appetite drove performance more than
improved fundamentals
Conducive policy actions to address supply chain hurdles driving
food inflation, limiting gas and power tariff hikes, rehabilitating
macros and supportive policy guidance reinforced by execution of
tax incentives for construction sector., bolster our view of
catalysts over-powering risks emanating from political or event
risks
From a fund flow perspective, individuals took gains home
(US$15.5mn net sell) followed by mutual funds (US$6.3mn) where as
Insurance (US$26.5mn net buy) and Banks (US$15.7mn) were buyers for
the month where FPI remained net sellers (US$39.1mn, US$426.7mn net
sell CYTD)
We believe the Government would prefer smart/micro lockdowns,
restricting non-essential activities over completely disrupting
business activities in the country. Our preference tilted towards
Banks (particularly top tier) as expectation of resumption in
payouts could drive stock performance in the near term,
Construction-related sectors, Power and Textiles.
