Engro Fertilizers Limited - Re-initiating with PT of PKR 66/share; TR of 20%

  • We re-initiate coverage on EFERT with a BUY call driven by our Jun-18 PT of PKR66/share offering a capital upside of 10% along-with dividend yield of 10%.
  • With overall fertilizer sector dynamics likely to remain dull, dividend yield emerges as the only attractive investment driver where we expect the company to maintain its payout ratio of 90% as working capital eases due to reducing Urea inventory and gradual release of subsidy. Moreover accrual of ~PKR1bn pa in GIDC, which is being withheld by the company, should also allow EFERT to pay out DPS of PKR6.0 and PKR6.25 in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
  • Over medium term, we expect the government to allow annual Urea export quota of ~300Ktons to the industry in order to i) ease their cash cycle emanating from delays in subsidy disbursement, ii) continued supply overhang and iii) pressures on External Accounts.
