D.G.Khan Cement Company Limited: Estimates revised on change in sales mix; reiterate Buy!

DGKC’s 4QFY18 earnings of PKR8.83/sh were largely dominated by both positive and negative one-offs including PKR1.3bn impairment charge, PKR250mn exchange loss and PKR3.2bn tax income. Along with the result, the company also announced a dividend of PKR4.25/sh.

 

The negative surprise in earnings and dividend generated negative market reaction as the stock closed at its lower circuit in the last trading session.

 

Given the one-off nature of negatives and based on our stress test on possible worst- case scenario for DGKC earnings (see here), we see current price level as an opportunity.

 

Incorporating the latest results and tweaking our sales mix assumption we have revised our earnings estimates for DGKC by -15%/-4%/+7% over FY19-21E.

 

We maintain our liking for the scrip and reiterate our Buy call with a revised TP of PKR160/sh, offering 57% upside from current levels along with dividend yield of 3%
