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.

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.

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.

Pakistan Economy: SBP has decreased the Cash Reserves Ratio (CRR) to 5% - By Topline Research

Jan 26 2026


Topline Securities


  • As per the SBP governor press briefing, the Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR) has been reduced by 100bps to 5% on a weekly average basis and 3% daily basis, which is likely to create additional liquidity for banks. To highlight, CRR requirement for banks was increased in Nov 2021 to mop up liquidity from market amidst higher inflation levels. Reverting to old ratio shows central bank’s comfort in inflation outlook.
  • The Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR) is the proportion of banks’ applicable time and demand liabilities (TDLs) that they are required to hold in the form of cash with the SBP on a fortnightly average basis. Since SBP does not remunerate deposits that banks keep with it to meet the CRR, these funds do not generate any return.
