  • As per data released by PBS, textile exports increased by 1.9%YoY for 2MFY20 to USD2.3bn with value added segment at the forefront, increasing by 4.5%YoY, while non-value added declined by 5.6%YoY.
  • For Aug’19, seasonality was visible in the 5.3%YoY decline with the exports of value added and non-value added products declining by 4.9%YoY and 6.6%YoY, respectively.
  • Local cotton prices are also reflective of the trade data as they increase by 2.0%MoM in Aug’19 after raw cotton exports increased by 73.8%YoY, imports declined by 27.9%YoY while production remains low.
  • Moving forward, we expect materialization of FTA with China to be a key trigger point for textile related export growth. Further, market penetration in the backdrop of on-going trade war between US & China should be a long term positive. NML is our top pick in the textile space given diversified earnings mix and focus on value additional (TP: PkR158/sh, Buy!).
