Pakistan Strategy :Turbulent & tough FY20 , (AKD Daily, Jun 19, 2020)
- Assessing major index oscillations during the soon to conclude FY20, we highlight the large underperformance of KSE-30 index as an illustration of high market capitalization sectors undergoing significant headwinds.
- In terms of volumes, brisk rise in average volumes across indices can be seen supporting futures and ready market value as well, with cheap valuations the likely driver of momentum in mainboard names.
- Additionally, the general “flight-to-safety” sentiment underpins increasing prominence of KSE-100 and KSE-30 volumes in the share of all stock volume over the period, with investors allocating to high D/Y plays.
- In the backdrop of emergent macro risks propelled by COVID-19 pandemic and pricing the uncertainty of a waning economic outlook, we believe mean reversion is likely to play out over the medium term, with blue chip plays seeking to re-vamp profitability outlooks.
- Any upward momentum in global crude prices, coupled with external pressures forcing PkR depreciation could drive E&P sector performance. Re-iterating our outlook for technology and pro work from home plays taking a lead during the short term, Banks in the mainboard offer attractive valuation based upsides as well.
