Lucky Cement Limited - Lucky 660MW: The Jewel in the "Crown"

  • LUCK is targeting to achieve COD of its 660MW super critical coal project by Mar-21. The project offers a revised ROE of 29.5% (vs. 27% initially) and carries an estimated project cost of USD 885mn (vs. earlier USD1.08bn).
  • We expect LEPCL (i.e. Project Company) to contribute PKR24.5, PKR26.9 and PKR29.5 to respective FY22, FY23 and FY24 Consolidated EPS i.e. a top-up of 41-43% on the company’s earnings from domestic cement operations for the period. The project also contributes PKR64 to our Jun-19 PT of PKR625/share.
  • While we maintain a Marketweight stance on the cement sector (owing to expected slowdown and margin attrition), we flag our liking for LUCK due to its 1) diversification (both locally and internationally) within and outside the sector and 2) its leverage-free book.
