Mari Petroleum Company Limited - 1QFY19 EPS at PKR47.7

We expect MARI’s 1QFY19 earnings to jump by 60%YoY/26%QoQ to PKR5.8bn (EPS: PKR47.72).

In the wake of higher oil prices and swift PKR depreciation, we have revised following assumptions 1) oil price to USD75 / USD70 per bbl for FY19 / FY20 and onwards (vs. USD60/bbl p...
