Fauji Fertilizer Company (FFC): Strong earnings with shariah push – By Insight Research

Nov 12 2025


Insight Securities


  • FFC has delivered capital gain of ~29% during CYTD, supported by robust profitability despite weak agronomic conditions. The company’s earnings have been boosted by dividend income from its subsidiaries and associates, generating steady dividend income. Along with this, significant cash reserves also contributes to bottom line by generating other income. The said trend is expected to continue, driven by recurring dividend inflows and an anticipated recovery in offtakes.
  • The combination of robust cashflow generation and strong balance sheet provides FFC with the flexibility to pursue growth opportunities. Company is exploring the feasibility of a Thar coal gasification project, which, if materialized, would provide a reliable and cost-effective feedstock source and potentially enable urea exports. Additionally, the proposed gas supply from Mari Gas Field to FFC’s Port Qasim plant could reduce feedstock costs and enhance margins going forward.

  • FFC announced its 4QCY25 results today, reporting an unconsolidated EPS of PKR 11.20 for the quarter and 51.70 on annual basis, which is lower than our expectation of PKR 16.1. The underperformance was mainly attributed to lower than anticipated gross margin which came down by 5.6% to 25.2% as compare to last quarter 30.8%.
  • Net sales increased by 18% QoQ to PKR 149.7bn, primarily driven by improved fertilizer offtakes following a period of weak demand in the prior season. However, the cost of sales rose by 27% QoQ, offsetting the gains from the better offtakes. Finance charges remained flat, while higher than expected other income was observed. We await the detailed accounts for further clarification. The company declared a quarterly cash dividend of PKR 8.5 per share, bringing the total annual dividend to PKR 37 per share. The YoY increase in earnings also reflect the merger with FFBL effective from second half of CY25. The effective tax rate for the quarter stood at 47% and whereas on annual basis at 39%.

  • We preview the IIS Banking Universe’s 4QCY25 results, where aggregate earnings are expected to remain largely flat QoQ at PKR 100bn, while delivering a 16.5% YoY growth.

Feb 3 2026


Insight Securities


  • We estimate profitability of ISL coverage banks to inch up by 16% YoY, while same is expected to decline by 2% QoQ. The YoY increase is mainly driven by lower ETR for the quarter compared to SPLY, further aided by volumetric expansion.

  • However, some of the impact is likely to offset by balance sheet expansion as deposits grew by ~2.7% QoQ. We estimate HBL/UBL/MCB/MEBL/BAFL to post EPS of PKR11.0/13.8/11.9/12.5/3.5, respectively. We expect dividend payouts to remain robust amid healthy profits and decent buffer on adequacy ratios and expect HBL/UBL/MCB/ MEBL/BAFL to announce DPS of PKR5.0/8.0/9.0/7.0/2.5, respectively.

Pakistan Economy: Jan’26 CPI likely to clock in at 6.1% - By Insight Research

  • Within the SPI basket, items that recorded significant increase in prices during the period are as follows, Chicken (14.8↑%), Wheat flour (10.4↑%), Tomatoes (10.2%↑), Spices (6.3%↑) & Fresh fruits (4.9%↑). On the flip side, prices of the following items eased off during the month, Potatoes (30.9%↓), Onions (24.6%↓), Sugar (8.6%↓), Pulse gram (6.5%↓) & Motor fuel (4.8%↓).
  • Following a 50bps policy rate cut in Dec’25 MPC meeting, after maintaining status quo across the preceding four meetings, SBP signaled the possibility of further monetary easing in CY26. Market expectations were consequently anchored around an additional 50–75bps cut in the Jan’26 MPC meeting. However, contrary to street consensus, SBP opted to keep policy rate unchanged while reducing the Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR) for banks by 100bps to 5%. This appears prudent in the context of geopolitical tensions and its potential spillover impact on global commodity prices, which have been a key anchor for Pakistan’s macroeconomic stability in recent quarters. The import bill has already begun to inch up, while the export sector continues to face structural constraints. Given sticky core inflation and an elevated imports, a cautious policy stance remains essential to preserve macroeconomic stability.

Jan 27 2026


Insight Securities


  • Mining represents a strategic opportunity for Pakistan, supported by the country’s significant deposits of copper, gold and other mineral resources.

Copper prices remain elevated, underpinned by strong long term demand from electrification, renewable energy and electric vehicle adoption, while gold prices have stayed firm amid global macro uncertainty. Elevated and supportive price dynamics materially enhance project economics, improve internal rates of return and accelerate value realization for large scale copper & gold projects.
