Pakistan’s total exports were US$2.3bn in June 2023, down 19% YoY, but up 7% MoM. Textile exports clocked in at US$1.4bn, down 14% YoY, but up 11% MoM, accounting for 63% of total exports. This takes FY23 textile exports to US$16.5bn, down 15% YoY. The sequential improvement can be attributed to higher order-flows for value-added textile exports mainly stemming from USA & Europe amid falling inflation rates and better consumer-purchasing power. KEY HIGHLIGHTS IN TEXTILE EXPORTS Value added te...

We expect the IMS Textile Universe to post combined core net profits of PKR1.8bn in 3QFY23, down 37% QoQ and 85% YoY. Finance costs are likely to elevate further after interest rate hikes during the quarter which would potentially offset higher exchange gains. Sales volumes are likely to decline further due to overall reduction in textile exports amid high inflation rates leading to lower demand in export markets. Rising energy prices also remains a key challenge for local manufacturers to co...

* Despite the sharp downward revision in our target prices for the IMS Textile Universe, by 22% on average, we remain Overweight on the sector. The government’s policy of providing regionally competitive utility prices is vulnerable under the IMF program and global demand fares challenges, but valuations are already knocked down. * Global and local macroeconomic uncertainties have led us to further prune our revenue and earnings growth assumptions for FY23-24f by 1%/12%, respectively, f...
Recent monthly textile exports of USD1.5bn indicate a modest slowdown in growth to 3% YoY (down 3% MoM), significantly lower than the growth witnessed in Sep’21. The slowdown in exports is largely due to possible slowdown in demand, owing to piling up of inventories ahead of winters. However, headwinds remain at large, in terms of, i) sobering demand from global slowdown, ii) volatility in cotton prices, iii) higher operating costs and iv) import restrictions by SBP. However, we continue to r...
* We expect the IMS Textile Universe to post combined core net profits of PKR9.4bn in 1QFY23, flat compared to SPLY, largely owing to moderating cotton inventory gains and elevated borrowing costs, offsetting the 34% YoY combined revenue growth. * Once again, ILP and GATM are expected to lead our Textile cluster, largely attributed to robust revenue growth in the Value-added segments, continued exchange gains and operational efficiencies. * Sequentially, the significant improvement...
GOVERNMENT PROPOSES DISCONTINUATION OF SUBSIDIZED ELECTRICITY RATE Latest news articles suggest that the government is proposing to discontinue the electricity tariff incentives from the current USD0.09/KwH (PKR21/KwH) to USD0.19/KwH (PKR43.45). Although the move will contradict the government’s plans on encouraging the sector to shift to the grid, away from gas-based CPPs, the sector’s competitiveness and profitability is likely to be hampered, in our view. It can be assumed that the propos...
