Taurus Securities


  • We upgrade our Dec’26 target price for the Bank of Punjab Lim ited (BOP) to PKR 50/sh. (PKR 46/sh. earlier) following the slight revision in our valuation assumptions, as well as incorporating the Bank’s upcoming 4QCY25 results (scheduled for February 17, 2026); maintaining our ’BUY’ stance offering an upside of 31% over the LDCP, coupled with a CY26E dividend yield of 8% - translating into a total return of 39%.

Pakistan Fertilizers: Demand Slump Masks Strong Cumulative Rabi Performance; Urea Surpluses Persist – By HMFS Research

Feb 18 2026


HMFS Research


  • January's sharp offtake declines — while jarring on a standalone basis — should be contextualized against the unusually strong frontloading seen in Oct–Dec 2025, which inflated the base. Cumulative Rabi urea offtake of 2,744K tones is running 12% ahead of last season, a constructive signal for fertilizer companies' top lines. The structural concern remains DAP demand destruction, now down 23% on a Rabi cumulative basis, likely reflecting farmer affordability pressures and substitution toward cheaper nitrogen sources. We believe elevated closing urea stocks (~602K tones) cap near-term upside on pricing but support volume visibility into Kharif.
  • In product terms, urea offtake of 218K tones was down 51.1% Y/Y and DAP at 39K tones declined 35.8% Y/Y. Both miss comfortably on any historical comparison, though we flag that the January 2025 base was itself elevated relative to seasonal norms

Feb 18 2026


Ismail Iqbal Securities


  • Habib Bank Limited (HBL) announced its 4QCY25 results, reporting consolidated EPS of PKR 10.5, up 7% YoY but down 9% QoQ. The result came in slightly below our expectations, primarily due to weaker non-markup income. The bank declared a final cash dividend of PKR 6/share, above our expectation of PKR 5/share, taking the CY25 cumulative payout to PKR 20/share.
  • Net interest income (NII) grew by 17% YoY, supported by volumetric expansion which largely offset margin compression. However, on a QoQ basis, NII declined by 2% as the impact of asset repricing had largely materialized. Non-markup income fell sharply by 50% YoY, mainly due to losses on sale of securities and the absence of one-off other income recorded in the same period last year.

  • Net interest income clocked in at PKR68.2bn in 4QCY25, up by 13% YoY. The increase is mainly attributable to volumetric growth. To highlight, deposits grew by ~27%/9% YoY/QoQ in 4QCY25.

Feb 18 2026


Ismail Iqbal Securities


  • Cherat Cement (CHCC) announced its 2QFY26 results, reporting net profit of PKR 2.02bn, down 4% QoQ and 11% YoY. The result is slightly above our expectations mainly due to stronger than anticipated gross margins.

Cost of goods sold declined by roughly 12% YoY, likely supported by operational efficiencies including the induction of EV dumpers that helped reduce freight costs, along with the installation of around 9MW solar capacity contributing to lower energy expenses. The decline in costs helped maintain gross margins at around 36%, broadly in line with 1QFY26 and 2QFY25 levels.

This rise was attributed mainly to the green tractor financing Scheme by the Government of Punjab towards the end of the year 2025.
