KSE-100 Index Performance

Market generated a return of 12.1%

• The KSE-100 index has managed to generate a return of 12.1% since its 6-month low witnessed in

19th Dec’17 to 14th May’18.

• Pertinently, 5 sectors have managed to outperform the benchmark equity bourse during the period

under review, while 5 sectors yielded lower returns than the stock market.

• We have summarized the performance in upcoming slides.

• We believe the market will perform better in the upcoming caretaker setup, which is expected to

take charge from 1st June 2018, as has been witnessed during previous regimes. In the following

slides, you can observe the market performance (average 14.1%) during previous 5 caretaker

setups.

• The KSE-100 index is currently trading at a PER of 9.8x (2018) compared to Asia Pac regional

average of 14.5x while offering DY of ~5.5% versus ~2.4% offered by the region Our top picks are

OGDC, PPL, UBL, ABL, AKBL, LUCK, DGKC, MLCF, ASTL, EFERT, SNGP, KAPCO, HUBC, MTL and INDU.

KSE-100 Index Performance

Outperforming Sectors

• Cements delivering one of the highest returns in the KSE-100 index of 22.4% as price hikes in North

during the post winter season provided relief to the sector.

• Oil and Gas Marketing Companies witnessed a hefty return of 21.3% owed to massive jump in

volumes of petroleum products and margin expansion on deregulated products. Whereas under gas

utilities, SSGC in particular garnered interest amid expectations of UFG control and clearance of

previous losses in a manner similar to SNGP.

• Fertilizer sector outperformed the local bourse posting a 20% return during the period as low

inventory levels coupled with price hikes, anticipation of GIDC arrears settlement and reduction in

GIDC going forward kept the investor’s interest in-check.

• Commercial Banks provided a return of 14.5% outperforming the broader KSE-100 index (+ 12.1%)

led by discount rate hike of 25bps during Jan’18 alongside further increase expected in the future

as core inflation inches higher.

• Engineering managed to underscore a robust return of 12.8% in the period under review as margin

accretion during 2QFY18 of major players kept bottom-lines strong.

KSE-100 Index Performance

Underperforming Sectors

• E&Ps return during the period clocked-in at 9%, underperforming the KSE-100 index by 3.5ppts

mainly due to foreign selling (USD 37mn). Albeit, the positive return is primarily attributed to

higher oil prices (Arab light up 20%) along with PKR depreciation during the period.

• Power sector yielded a positive return of 8% on account of PKR depreciation by 4.2% during the

period under review. However, underperformance vis-à-vis the index was owed to rising levels of

receivables which forced companies to skip dividend.

• Automobile Assemblers sector provided a return of 6.2% compared to average return of 12.1%

from market low to current levels given decline in earnings due to PKR depreciation and higher

steel prices.

• Textile composite performance remained depressed as value added sector felt the heat in the

wake of companies finding it difficult to pass on the impact of rising input costs. While, spinning

sector generated a return of 19.9% owed to low cost of cotton as government eliminated custom

duty and regulatory duty on import of cotton.

• Refineries performance remained subdued as sector posted a negative return of 8.8% during the

period amid uncertainty with respect to FO offtake tagged with exchange losses amid PKR

depreciation.

• Historical data suggests that the benchmark KSE-100 index has delivered a positive return of 14% on

average during prior caretaker setups (please refer to graphs on the next few slides for more

clarity).

• Hence, taking cue from said trend and given political noise and / or economic conditions remain

manageable, the KSE-100 could potentially provide a decent positive return during the new

caretaker setup expected to take office from June 1, 2018.
