Nov 17 2025


JS Global Capital


  • Descon Oxychem Limited (DOL) held its corporate briefing to review FY25 performance and share its outlook. The company posted an FY25 EPS of Rs4.91, reflecting a 69% YoY increase, primarily due to a 10ppt increase in gross margins during the year. We present key takeaways from the session.
  • The company’s topline grew 5% YoY in FY25, driven by higher Hydrogen Peroxide volumes, which reached 42k MT in FY25 (up 4% YoY), with the plant operating at full capacity.
  • On the cost side, power consumption improved to 532 kWh/ MT from 583 kWh/MT due to better plant efficiency. Combined with lower RLNG prices and other cost optimizations, this resulted in a 10ppt YoY expansion in gross margins to 30% in FY25.
Pakistan Economy: Pakistan’s Current Account swells to USD733mn in 4MFY26 – By AHCML Research

Nov 17 2025


Al Habib Capital Markets


  • Pakistan's external sector shows significant strain, with the current account deficit widening to USD733mn in 4MFY26, over 3.5 times the USD206mn deficit of 4MFY25. This deterioration stems from a surging import bill of USD20.72bn (up 10% YoY), which far outpaced export earnings of USD10.63bn (up 2% YoY). While remittances grew 9% YoY to USD12.96bn, providing essential support, they were insufficient to offset the growing trade imbalance. Urgent policy measures are needed to curb imports and boost exports to restore external stability.
  • The current account deteriorated sharply across all periods. On yearly basis, it shifted from a USD296mn surplus in Oct’24 to a USD112mn deficit in Oct’25, a USD408mn negative swing. On Monthly basis, it reversed from an USD83mn surplus in Sep’25 to a USD112mn deficit in Oct’25, worsening by USD195mn. Cumulatively, the 4MFY26 deficit reached USD733mn, significantly higher than the USD206mn in 4MFY25, highlighting persistent external vulnerabilities.

Pakistan Market Wrap: Rising Early, Recalibrating Late: The KSE-100’s Search for Direction – By HMFS Research

Nov 17 2025


HMFS Research


  • The KSE-100 index opened today’s session on a bullish note, supported by confidence delivered by the market participants. Upbeat sentiment was further reinforced by recent exploration discoveries in the E&P sector, helping the benchmark surge as high as 1,667 points during intraday trading. However, the momentum lost steam as fresh uncertainty emerged. News of a potential ban on Pakistan’s exports to Afghanistan weighed heavily on investor sentiment, given the exposure of several listed companies to that market. Adding to the cautious tone, October trade data revealed a current account deficit of USD 112mn, prompting a brief phase of profit-taking.
  • As a result, the index reversed its early gains and settled at 161,687 level, down 248 points by the close. Trading activity remained robust, with 521mn shares changing hands on the KSE-100 and 1.2bn shares traded across the broader market. The day’s top volume contributors included KEL (296mn), BECO (107mn), and TPLP (73mn). Looking ahead, market direction will be shaped by evolving economic developments, clarity on trade relations with Afghanistan, and the broader trajectory of external accounts. Even so, optimism remains supported by relatively attractive market valuations, which could pave the way for renewed value-driven accumulation. Investors are encouraged to stay alert to shifting dynamics and prioritize fundamentally strong stocks that offer resilient, long-term growth potential.
