Mari Energies Limited (MARI): Fundamentals priced in, ambitions yet to materialize – By Insight Research

Oct 16 2025


Insight Securities


  • MARI has demonstrated commendable operational performance in recent years, underpinned by consistent reserve accretion with reserve growing at a 5-year CAGR of 11%. MARI’s reserve and resources (2P+2C) increased to an all time high of 952 MMBOE as of Jun’25, translating into a Reserve Replacement Ratio (RRR) of 278%.
  • Given the significant improvement in reserve base, sustained exploration efforts and company’s diversification into mining and cloud storage, we upgrade our stance to Hold, with a revised Dec’26 SOTP based target price of PKR725/sh. MARI’s diversification initiatives, however, remain in early stages and have been conservatively incorporated. Meanwhile, MARI continues to pursue an aggressive exploration strategy across new and existing blocks, which could unlock incremental value over the medium term.

The dip in profitability was primarily attributed to lower production volumes due to gas curtailment, adverse FX and price variances, and additional wellhead expenses.

Pakistan Market Wrap: Bulls Lose Steam as Profit-Taking Dominates the Session – By HMFS Research

Oct 23 2025


HMFS Research


  • The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) opened on a positive note, with the benchmark KSE-100 index gaining a modest 167 points in early trade. However, the initial momentum proved short-lived as profit-taking set in, pushing the index deep into the red zone. The market touched an intraday low of 2,158 points, reflecting investor caution ahead of the upcoming corporate results season. Global cues also weighed on sentiment, as weakness across international markets dampened risk appetite. Despite the volatility, the index managed to hold within a rangebound zone, ultimately closing the session at 164,590 points, down 1,963 points from the previous close. Trading activity remained robust, driven by investors capitalizing on elevated valuations to realize gains.
  • The KSE-100 index recorded 485mn shares traded, while total market volumes stood at 1.5bn shares. WTL (162mn), KEL (138mn) and TELE (91mn) emerged as volume leaders for the day. Looking ahead, the market is expected to remain rangebound in the near term, reflecting broader global volatility. Sentiment could, however, find support upon the anticipated approval of the IMF tranche and further strengthening of macroeconomic indicators. Moreover, the ongoing corporate earnings season may trigger selective buying in fundamentally strong scrips, particularly those expected to deliver resilient results. Investors are advised to adopt a cautious yet strategic stance, focusing on long-term growth stories while remaining vigilant amid short-term fluctuations.

Oct 23 2025


Foundation Securities


  • LSM output posted a modest recovery of 0.5% YoY (down 2.7% MoM) during Aug’25 supported by the rise in automobile production (up 130.7% YoY) given low base effect. Cumulatively, output enhanced by 4.4% YoY in 2MFY26 given robust demand amid improving macroeconomic environment.
  • The automobile sector performed well during Aug’25, up 130.7% YoY, with significant increase in the production of cars/jeeps by 184.1/75.8% YoY followed by L.C.V’s/trucks/buses by 97.1/137.5/5.8% YoY.
