Flash Note: Automobile Assemblers - Offtakes for Oct-18 Likely to go through the Roof

  • As per our channel checks, sales of Passenger Cars during Oct-18 are expected to clock in at 24,200 units (up 25%MoM/4%YoY). We however expect this growth to be a one-off event, likely on the back of front-loading of purchases in anticipation of aggressive price increases from November onwards.
  • During 4MFY19, total sales for passenger cars are expected to clock in at 82,760 units (down 1%YoY). 
  • Recall that with the recent round of PKR depreciation in Oct-18, Indus Motors (INDU) and Honda Atlas Cars (HCAR) announced additional price increases that will be applicable in two rounds (for INDU, average price hike for Nov/Dec-18 and Jan-19 onwards deliveries: PKR50-175k and PKR100-350k and for HCAR, average price hike for Nov/Dec-18 and Jan-19 onwards deliveries: PKR50-100k and PKR100-210k, respectively). Pak Suzuki Motors (PSMC) has jacked up the prices of Wagon R, Cultus and Swift by PKR40k (with effect from Nov-18) while more increases may be announced later.
