Al Habib Capital Markets


  • Interloop Ltd (ILP) is scheduled to announce its financial results for 2QFY26 on February 4, 2026. Interloop Ltd (ILP) reports robust 2QFY26 results with PAT surging 124% YoY to PKR2,580mn, driven by strong sales growth, improved gross margins, and a significant reduction in finance costs.

  • We reiterate our Buy recommendation with Target Price of PKR115 per share, reflecting confidence in the company's continued execution and growth prospects.

  • This takes total sales for 7MFY26 to 9.7mn tons, reflecting a 3% YoY increase compared to 9.4mn tons in 7MFY25.

Commercial Banks: Flat Earnings; Payouts Intact – By IIS Research

Feb 3 2026


Ismail Iqbal Securities


  • 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. Despite continued pressure on net interest margins amid a declining interest-rate environment, earnings remained resilient, supported by balance-sheet expansion, contained credit costs, and disciplined expense management.
  • Net interest income is expected to increase 3.6% QoQ to PKR 340.5bn and 11.7% YoY, even as reinvestment yields remained under pressure. Margin compression was partially offset by volumetric growth, with deposits rising 20% YoY and 5.7% QoQ, supporting earning asset expansion. An improving deposit mix further helped cushion margins. On a full-year basis, CY25E NII is projected to grow 15.4% YoY, reflecting the sector’s ability to navigate a softer rate cycle.
Commercial Banks: 4QCY25 Previews: Stable earnings; Payouts intact – By Insight Research

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. While, QoQ decline is attributable to slight moderation in NIMs. Net Interest Income of the sector is likely to decline as impact of lower policy rate translates into asset yields.
  • 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.

Feb 2 2026


Taurus Securities


  • 2QFY26 – EPS: PKR 1.8, PAT: ~PKR 1.1Bn – below expectations.
  • PRL’s net sales clocked-in at PKR 75.3Bn in 2QFY26, up 22%QoQ on account of increase in the volumes by 28%QoQ.

Commercial Banks: 4QCY25 Result Previews – By Taurus Research

Feb 2 2026


Taurus Securities


  • We expect 4QCY25 TSL Banking Universe earnings to post a dip of 2% on a sequential basis on account of flattish margins overall, including the impact of slightly lower cost of funds and uptick in expected credit losses and operating expenses for the quarter. Ac cordingly, CY25 PAT for our coverage banks is expected to grow 5%YoY, arriving at ~PKR 513Bn.
  • Relatively stagnant asset yields (declining in some cases) coupled with slightly lower cost of funds, we expect net-interest income to grow 3%QoQ only. Wherein, the 50bps cut in the policy rate to wards the year-end and the build-up in current accounts as well as the re-pricing of costly deposits in case of some of the banks, are the major factors likely to contribute to lower cost of funds.

Feb 2 2026


Taurus Securities


  • NPL is expected to post a PAT of PKR 640Mn (EPS: PKR 1.81) in 2QFY26, up 9%QoQ. Revenues are estimated at ~PKR 1.2Bn, reflecting a 58%YoY increase due to improved plant utilization. Moreover, revenue declined 26%QoQ on seasonal fall in demand. Other income is expected at PKR 414Mn, decreased QoQ due to lower interest earnings because of declining interest rate. Gross margins are expected to increase from 23% to 39%QoQ.
  • The sharp YoY turnaround from loss to profit is primarily due to adjustments with CPPA-G including waiver of delayed payment surcharge etc. which had adversely impacted earnings last year. Finally, we expect NPL to announce no interim dividend for the quarter.
