Pakistan OMCs: HSD keeps throughput upbeat
- Increase in volumes directly lifted throughput levels, with 1QCY21 retail volumes at 3.05mn tons, up 20%YoY largely due to a 28%YoY increase in HSD while sequential decline in retail fuels’ volume stood at 15%.
- Company-wise, HASCOL/SHEL/APL/PSO delivered throughput levels of 308k /613k / 477k/554k ltrs/outlet, moving –46%/+25%/-9%/+38%YoY and -41%/-5%/-7%/-13%QoQ taking total average industry throughput +17%YoY/-13%QoQ to 577k ltrs/outlet.
- Difference between throughput level of HSD and MS standing 146k ltrs/pump for 1QCY21 against 102k ltrs/pump for 4QCY20 despite government’s continued efforts to curb influx of grey product points towards slowdown in MS sales, in our opinion.
- PSO (TP: PkR293.1/sh, 31% upside) is our top pick from the sector where medium term developments include clearance of circular debt and shift in cash profile of cash flows due to increased share of retail fuels while focus on improving storage infrastructure will result in company sustaining the recently gained market share.
