* We reiterate our Buy stance on FFBL with a SoTP based TP of PKR37/sh (fertilizer ops: PKR20/sh). Fertilizer profits are expected to do well amidst strong core margins and lower finance cost due to reduced borrowings. * Strong core performance should offset impairment on subsidiaries, if any. A possible reduction in FFL losses owing to increased prices and lower finance costs should help FFBL on a consolidated level. However, FML is expected to expand losses. * Despite resilient e...

Fauji Fertilizer Bin Qasim Ltd: Analyst Briefing Takeaways

FFBL held its Analyst Briefing Session today to discuss the recent performance and the future outlook. In 2QCY22, IMS Fertilizer Universe posted a c.55% decline in NPAT, whereas the decline in FFBL’s earnings (c.30% YoY) was cushioned due to the large dividend from PMP.

In 2HCY22, we expect FFBL to pos...

* Urea prices have increased: As per channel checks, FFC and FFBL have increased Urea prices by PKR80/bag, taking them to c.PKR1,810/bag, effective 13 March 2022.
