Nishat Chunian Power Limited - PKR Depreciation a Silver Lining Amidst Ongoing FO Demise

  • We update our investment case with revision in exchange rate forecast and higher risk free rate taking our Jun-19 PT to PKR35/share (from earlier PKR33/sh). Besides, we expect PKR depreciation to raise our FY19 EPS projection by 13% to PKR11.0.
  • FO footprint may likely reduce with new coal and LNG power plants coming online during FY19. In this backdrop, we maintain NCPL’s expected capacity utilization at 37% for FY19 compared with 64% in FY18 which would reduce operational fuel savings by 20% to PKR257mn (PKR0.70/share) and expected O&M savings by 35%YoY to PKR400mn (PKR1.08/sh) in FY19.
  • Possibility of one-time clearance of circular debt may completely wipe-off overdue receivables similar to that in 2013. Similarly the injection, if materialized, may result in higher dividends as we anticipate complete payment of short term debt.
