Pakistan Oilfields Limited - Expected Earnings Growth Driven by Low Base Effect

We expect POL’s earnings to grow by 122%YoY/28%QoQ in 2QFY19 to PKR4.9bn (EPS: PKR17.4).
Earnings growth is expected to be led by higher revenues on the back of relatively higher oil prices, PKR/USD depreciation, lower exploration expense and low base effect of last year attributable to PKR3bn reversal in gas revenues related to Tal Block.
On cumulative basis, earnings are expected to be 85%YoY higher at PKR8.8bn (EPS: PKR31.0) in 1HFY19.

Pakistan E&Ps: Unwarranted valuations despite cash-flow constraints

We raise our E&P estimates on higher assumed oil prices, which we now forecast at USD80/70LT per barrel for FY23/24f, as against USD60/60LT earlier. Our earnings estimates have increased by 10-20% on average for these years and we reiterate our Overweight stance on E&Ps. We believe that government’s efforts to resolve the accumulation of circular debt has been underappreciated where stocks have underperformed oil price by 16% in the last 1 year. More positives have risen from currency devalua...

Pakistan Oilfields: 1QFY23 Review - Highest ever quarter exploration costs slams earnings potential

POL reported 1QFY23 earnings of PKR 8.4bn (EPS: PKR 29.59), similar to the previous quarter but 60% higher than last year.
