AKD Research's take on the Numbers2008 has begun with clouds of political uncertainty hanging on the Pakistanstock market. With the political risk premium having risen after the ghastlyassassination of Benazir Bhutto the shocked nation is groping for hope.Announcement of election date as February 18, 2008 and a mature stance byPPP's new leadership as well as PML(N) to participate in the elections haveprovided investors a degree of comfort regarding the transition to a democraticallyelected government. Yet, investors remain cautious keeping in mind that there's"many a slip betwixt the cup and the lips".
The Central Bank’s latest quarterly review (for quarter ended Sep 2007) indicates thatpolitical uncertainty has created a drag on the economy and this was before BB'sassassination and consequent law & order crisis. While the law & order situation hasbeen brought under control, investors will be keeping a wary eye on the political sceneleading up to the election in six week's time. As such, 1QCY2008 is expected towitness high market volatility driven by news flow from the political front. That said,our oft repeated point regarding stronger market resilience than in the past was againdemonstrated last week when the KSE-100 Index staged a smart recovery in thesecond half of the week and closed 4% down from its most recent peak. In the firsthalf of the week the Index had been down 10% from its peak.
By most valuation measures the Pakistan market is arguably the cheapest in theAsian (ex Japan) region. The question investors have to address is whether thePakistan market could be a value trap in 2008 if longer term political risk premiumhas significantly increased? That risk cannot be discounted at this point. However,we need to keep in mind that much more is at stake in Pakistan than merely the stockmarket. The geo-political dynamic of this region has meant that what happens inPakistan is not simply a domestic issue. It has significant regional and global implications.That is why we believe the powers that be - both internal and external, are likely toleave no stone unturned to focus on: (i) medium term socio-political stability; (ii) anew concerted and sustained campaign against terrorism & extremism post theelections; (iii) ensuring sufficient economic growth to keep the domestic politicalconstituencies aligned to the first two objectives. In the above context, we believe thatless risk averse investors will likely find significant potential for outperformance inPakistan in 2008.
In this report we have focused primarily on numbers. Both fundamental sectorand company performance in 2007 and forecasts for 2008 are provided, as wellas market and valuation data. We believe that this comprehensive databank ofAKD covered universe should prove useful for investors as they mull over theirnear term and longer term investment exposure to Pakistan. .

§ During the year 2007, KSE 100-index posted a whooping gain of 40.2% or 4,035 points to settle at 14,075 levels from 10,040 levels on year ended December 29, 2006. Looking at the Index’s movement over the last three years, the series of successively higher peaks and troughs along with the rising OBV (On Balance Volume) suggests that the primary bullish trend is intact, despite high volatility witnessed in recent months.
§ The rising long-term channel on weekly chart is leading towards our
December 2008 objective of 17,480~17,574 levels – anticipated around 123.6% Fibonacci Projection (9,696-14,290). Recent movements suggest that a breakout above the formidable resistance around 14,200~14,290 levels would push the index to hit its short-term target of 15,300~15,500 levels (76.4% Fibonacci Projection (9,696-14,290). Once these levels are achieved, a smoother rally could be constructed toward the Index’s intermediate target of 16,280~16,400 levels around 100% Fibonacci Projection (9,696-14,290), which if also breached (on weekly closing basis) then our 2008 objective will be on cards.
§ On the down side, two major supports exist between 13,399~13,550 levels
and 12,800~12,881 levels if market takes any near-term dip. § INVESTMENT PERSPECTIVE: Take selective positions in fundamentally
strong scrips at weekly close above 14,290 levels for the KSE-100 Index. Short-term trading oriented investors are suggested to cut positions if Index slips below 14,100~14,200 levels (on weekly closing basis). For investors with 3-month horizon strategy of buy on dips up to 13,548 levels should yield positive results.

How the Analysts view their sectors' 2008 performance
We asked our sector analysts to provide a considered fundamental outlook for their sectors for 2008.The above chart captures their views. The key point to note is that despite a higher level of uncertainty,most sectors (with the exception of autos and fixed line telephony) are expected to see demand risingat or above last year's level. This should enable increasing capacity utilization which is especially welcomefor sectors such as oil & gas, cement and cellular players who have recently enhanced their capacities.
The flip side of higher capacity is however, that pricing power has been diluted with only 3 out of 10sectors expected to show improvement in pricing power. Two of the three (Oil & gas exploration and Oilmarketing) are expected to benefit from reduction in subsidies to end-users while the fertilizer sector isexpected to benefit from rising government support to farmers in the form of agri-credit & higher offtakeprices of key grains in line with the global trend in food prices. Along with diluted pricing power, thepressure of costs in key raw materials as well as energy will likely keep margins under pressure in allcovered sectors.
At the same time, continued strong cash flows are expected to bring down borrowing requirements andthus ease financial expenses. As a result, earnings growth is expected to remain healthy with ROE's inmost sectors (except autos & power) expected to improve compared to 2007. .

Beyond Provisioning!
Advances growth, at an estimated 5% in CY07 has been sharply slower this year. Depositshowever, have continued to show solid growth, at 30%YoY in 3QCY07. Going forward, the bankingsector is well poised to take advantage of expected demand pickup from the corporate side whilethe potential in SME and consumer financing is high as well.
The banking sector was again one of the better performers in the Pakistani market in 2007, itsmarket cap growing by 48.6%YoY. On a relative basis, the listed banking sector outperformed thebenchmark KSE-100 Index by 8.6%YoY in 2007.
The Forced Sale Value (FSV) regulation, while reducing systemic risk in the banking system willlead to one-off higher provisions in 2007 confining sector EPS growth to 7% We expect the bottomline to make a strong comeback next year with estimated EPS growth of 26% in CY08. .
The AKD Banking Universe is trading at a CY08 Tier-I P/B of 3.0x and PER of 10.8x, againstmarket CY08 P/B of 2.6x and PER of 10.55x. We remain Overweight on the banking sector inview of attractive growth opportunities. Our top picks are HBL and BAFL with upsides of 50.6%and 41.2% to their respective target prices of PkR355 and PkR76.10.

Oil & Gas Exploration
Fast Track Development!
The E&P sector gained 7.3%YoY in absolute terms and thus underperformed the benchmarkKSE-100 Index by 33% during CY07.
Going forward, we expect the sector to outperform against the market as exploration activity picksups and subsequent discovery news flow comes in, especially in an environment of record highoil prices.
For FY08, we expect the Exploration and Production sector to post a bottomline growth of 19%YoYthrough fast track development of new discoveries, production ramp ups from company portfoliosand higher price environment. We recommend OGDC as our top pick on the back of managementefficacy, offering an upside of 20.6% to our target price of PkR146.50.
The E&P sector trades at a forward PER of 9.5x which is at discount to the market multiple of10.55x. The sector also offers an attractive dividend yield of 7% against the market's averagedividend yield of 5%.
We remain Overweight on the sector, and believe that, given E&P sector’s 2nd highest weight inthe KSE-100 Index, its performance will underpin index performance in 2008. .

Fertilizer
Strong prices looking for volumetric growth
The fertilizer sector gained 36.7% over the past one year, but was still short of the index’s gainof 40%YoY. While Engro and FFBL performed above the market, FFC, the sector heavy weight,pulled the average down.
With 19.2% outperfromance relative to the index, Engro has been the main driver for the overallsector’s performance followed by FFBL which generated interest on the back of the company’sDAP expansion plans combined with continuously increasing DAP prices. FFC, with its defensivenature was sidelined by investors looking for growth in 2007.
Sector’s performance in CY08 is l ikely to be a function of strong DAP and urea prices withexpansions likely to drive volumetric growth in a supply starved sector. With an additional advantageof being well diversified, Engro is likely to dominate the sector’s performance on the back ofnewsflow regarding separate listing of Engro Polymer and Engro Foods. .
Fertilizer sector trades at a marginal premium to the index, which we believe is justified owingto sector average dividend yield of 7.7% as well as 21%YoY earnings growth in CY08 whichshould lead to outperformance against the market in CY08. We remain overweight on the sector.

Telecom Sector
Harder the fall, faster the rise!
The telecom sector underperformed the index by 50% over the past one year, making it the worstperforming major sector in the KSE-100.
PTCL has been marred by disappointing quarterly results on the back of plunging fixed line revenues.The company saw a continuous decline in not only its topline but also its bottomline which had beenhit by high bad debt provisioning as well as Technical Assistance fee of 3% of Revenues. .
We believe that PTCL’s earnings are likely to trough in 2008 because of declining fixed line revenuesand also owing to PkR17bn worth of VSS payments, which should translate into an EPS of PkR3.21for FY08. However, efficiency gains are likely to start positively impacting the bottomline from 1HFY09onwards which should be further supported with growth in i ts cellular subsidiary. .
While the company may seem expensive on FY08 valuations (PER:13.03x), we consider this atransition phase and believe investors still need to price in the impact of broadband, VSS and Ufoneinto its stock price. However, except for its cellular subsidiary, Ufone, other initiatives are unlikelyto fully show their positive impact on the bottom line until FY10.

Insurance
Premiums unjustified
The AKD non-life insurance sector universe handsomely outperformed the benchmark KSE-100Index by 78% during CY07 on the back of strong underwriting portfolios and favorable capitalmarket conditions.
For CY08, we expect the bottom line to contract by 46%YoY as compared with CY07. Thiscontraction is a result of a higher base effect under the head of investment income in CY07 asthe sector continued to aggressively book unrealized capital gains ahead of the exemption ofcapital gains tax expiring in CY07. Furthermore, core underwriting profitability is expected to beimpacted in CY08 following the recent acts of arson in the country.
With non-life insurance penetration at 0.5% compared with insurance penetration in emergingmarkets average of 1.3%, non-life insurers of Pakistan are poised to increase penetration byidentifying profitable opportunities and building attractive new general insurance businesses.Expectation of at least 6% real economic growth and introduction of broad retail products underpinthe likelihood of increased penetration.
The insurance sector trades at a forward CY08 PER of 14.3x versus the market PER of 10.55x.We maintain our Neutral stance on the sector.

KSE-100 Index FMCGs
Riding the consumer wave, the FMCG sector was able to outperform the index by 10.4%. In absoluteterms the sector gained 50.4%.
The sector’s performance was mainly led by Unilever and Nestle which reported an impressivegrowth of 32%YoY in their combined bottomlines in 9MCY07 on the back of aggressive marketingand deeply penetrating distribution network.
Going forward, we expect the FMCG sector to continue marketing aggressively which can slightlyimpact operating margins but will continue to pay off in terms of increasing topline going forward.For CY08, we expect the FMCG sector to report a bottomline growth of 20%. .
While the sector may seem expensive on valuations when compared to the AKD universe valuations,it still trades at a discount to its regional counterparts. The fact that FMCG sector has an RoE of67% and and companies like Unilever and Nestle are perceived to be run on global managementstandards justify the sector’s premium to the market valuations. While Nestle trades near our fairvalue, at current price, Unilever is our top pick with a fair value of PkR2,472. .

The year of Inventory Gains!
The Oil Marketing Sector gained 28.2%YoY in absolute terms; however the sector underperformedthe KSE-100 by 11.8% in 2007.
Over the past three months, the OMC sector has outperformed the KSE-100 by 6% on the backof growth witnessed in overall sales volumes and expectations of windfall inventory gains due torising international and refined product prices.
Volume growth is the key long term driver in the OMC Sector where we estimate a 3-year volumeCAGR of 7% with PSO as our top pick offering an upside of 12.7% to our target price of PkR469.5.Our liking for PSO is premised upon volume outperformance through aggressive retail level initiativesand long term industrial supply contracts, particularly for power sector as well as several largeprojects expected to commence in CY09.
On estimated FY08 EPS, the sector is trading at 10.31x which is slightly below the market multipleof 10.55x. On forward P/BVS, the sector is at a slight premium trading at 2.85x versus the marketFY08 P/BVS of 2.6x. We maintain our Overweight stance on the sector.

Cement
Light at the end of the tunnel
Even though the cement sector has underperformed the index over the past three months by 17%,it managed to report outperformance of 15.1% against the index for 2007 as a whole. .
The sector’s performance has been a function of cement prices as well as newsflow regardingcement export to India. After the resumption of price agreement in Feb 07, stock prices began tomove up, resulting in the overall sector perfromance outpacing index performance in 1HCY07.However decline in output prices followed by disappointing 1QFY08 results dampened the sector’sperformance in 2HCY07.
Cement prices have started moving upwards again from Oct/Nov 2007, driving interest back intothe sector. We believe that price concensus among manufacturers combined with greater exportopportunities on the export front should drive the sector’s earnings in CY08. .
The sector trades at a PER of 10.52x, which is at a slight discount to the market PER of 10.55x.The sector trades at a cheap EV/MT of US$82.36 and FY08 P/B of 1.1x, 58% discount to themarket P/B of 2.64x.

Power Generation
Horizon of the expansion chapter!
The AKD Universe power sector gained 18.8%YoY in absolute terms but underperformed thebenchmark KSE-100 Index by 21.2% in CY07.
For FY08, we forecast the sector to post a bottomline growth of 4%YoY in line with pre-definedtariff structures.
Pakistan's electricity infrastructure is under tremendous pressure with power consumption expectedto grow at 8%-9% p.a. The existing demand and supply gap in power consumption is estimatedto grow at 1,000MW/year and is expected to reach approximately 5,550MW by CY10 unless newgeneration capacity is brought on line on a fast-track basis.
We are now beginning to see some real signs of investment activity in the power sector with therecent signing of Implementation Agreements (IAs) with seven companies totaling 1,210MWs ofpower generation capacity and financial close by six companies. This brightens expansion prospectsfor companies under our coverage.
The power sector trades at a forward FY08 PER of 10.08x versus the market at 10.55x and providesa dividend yield of 9.6%. We maintain our Overweight stance on the sector. .

Autos
Shrinking margins reduce speed
Having gained by 36.6%YoY, the auto sector underperformed the index by 3.4% in CY07. Theincrease in JPY/USD and steel prices coupled with plans to lower production kept price performancelimited.
While most auto companies reported an increase in their quarterly earnings, higher input costs (fromJune onwards) drove investor interest out of the sector even as volumes posted a marginal improvementof 0.4%YoY.
We believe that the impact of JPY appreciation and higher steel prices, which is likely to becomeobvious in 4QCY07 and 1QCY08 results, is likely to be further priced in by investors. The sectorunderperformed the index by 15% over the past one month and is likely to lose more market cap.However, we think PSMC is worth looking at on the back of increasing volumes through low endmarket positioning.
Auto sector is trading at a discount to the market PER of 10.55x. However, keeping in mind higherinput costs as well as lower volumes, we expect the auto sector to underperform the index, justifyingthe discount on valuations.

KSE-100 Index Gas
The Gas Transmission and Distribution companies underperformed the benchmark KSE-100Index by a massive 40% over the past 12 months while remaining unchanged in terms of marketcapitalization.
The companies’ lackluster fundamental performance has largely been driven by extensive linelosses or unaccounted for gas to the tune of PkR2bn recorded by both gas utilities over pre-settargets by the regulator, OGRA. As a result, aggressive capex to enhance the asset return basehas failed to translate into higher earnings this year.
We expect price performance to improve going forward at par with the market. Last announcedresults have shown improvement in bottomline with sector profitability growing by 14%YoY.Aggressive capex and efforts to lower line losses undertaken by both companies should translateinto further earnings growth.
SNGP is currently under our active coverage and the scrip trades at a forward PER of 9.8x andP/BVS of 1.8x. We recommend an Accumulate stance on the stock with a target price of PkR68.90.

Chemicals
Industrial expansions & construction sector to support growth
The chemicals sector has outperformed the benchmark KSE-100 Index by 25%YoY on the backof surge in sales volume and capacity expansions coming online earlier in the year, as a resultof which quarterly EPS growth momentum has been improving, underpinning share price performance.
We forecast the sector to post EPS growth of 19%YoY during CY08 as demand is expected toincrease from an expanding industrial sector and as further expansions come online. The slowdownin earnings growth rate in 2008 versus 2007 largely factors in higher input costs and the dragcreated by sharp slow down in the auto sector where ICI supplies paint, its highest margin product.
The chemicals sector trades at a CY08E PER of 12.5x versus the market PER of 10.55x. We thinkthis premium is justified on the back of strong earnings growth represented by a PEG of 0.7.
We maintain our Overweight stance on the sector.

Textiles
Exports to cushion cost burden
The AKD textile sector universe underperformed the KSE-100 Index by 26.2% during CY07,and was up 13.8% in absolute terms.
We expect the sector to post a marginal bottomline growth of 4%YoY during FY08 as costefficiencies are achieved and topline shows capacity driven growth rather than price drivengrowth.
Cost of production is expected to remain high during FY08 but the export oriented companiesare expected to survive the current business cycle downturn through their large export baseand economies of scale.
Among recent developments, FTAs have been signed with China and Malaysia to boost marketaccess. Duties on various textile categories are expected to be zero-rated on January 1st, '08under FTA with China, where NML in particular should see benefits in terms of better marginson its yarn exports to China.
The sector trades at a FY08E PER of 8.98x compared to market PER of 10.55x and at a cheapP/BVS of 0.5x. We maintain our Overweight stance on the sector.

Despite gaining 25.4% in absolute terms, the transport sector underperformed the KSE-100Index by 14.6% over the past year. However, over the past three months, the transport sectorhas outperformed the KSE by 8.3%.
Price outperformance over the past three months has largely been driven by higher volumestranslating into improving profitability. Within the transport sector, PICT has posted an impressivegrowth of 37%YoY (35%QoQ) in 1QFY08 on the back of higher handling volumes, up 27%YoY.
PICT is likely to continue posting bottomline growth particularly with deepening of the KarachiPort Channel by the Karachi Port Trust in 2008. As a result, PICT will be able to handle largervessels increasing overall handling volumes.
We recommend an Accumulate stance on PICT with a target price of PkR72.0 offering anupside of 4.4% to our target price. On valuations, PICT trades at a forward PER12.4x versusthe market PER of 10.55x.

KSE-100 Index Paper & Board
The paper and board segment is dominated by Packages Limited which saw 72% increase in itsstock price over the past one year, leading to an outperformance of 32% to the KSE-100 Index..
While during 9MCY07 the company’s bottomline declined by 9%YoY, the stock appreciated onexpectations of an increase in the company’s massive expansion plan which will increase itscapacity threefold. The company’s margins have been affected by higher depreciation costs andlower optimization levels of Bulleh Shah Paper Machine no. 6.
Cost pressure on the back of increased oil price is a menace the company is likely to be facedwith in CY08. We do not expect the company to fully pass on the increase to the consumers andas a result, these costs should partially offset the growth in the company’s topline. .
PKGS trades at par with its fair value of PkR364.20 and with all good news being priced in we donot expect it to outperform the market in the near term except if one time gain in form of land selloff or revaluation of its investment portfolio takes place.

Agriautos have underperformed the benchmark KSE 100 index by 20.7% in CY07. However, inabsolute terms, the sector appreciated by 19.3%YoY over the same time frame. .
During 9MCY07, the sector reported a 5% decline in bottomline combined with 2% decline in salesvolumes, hence failing to generate investor interest. However, attractive dividend payout (dividendyield of 9.1%) has controlled the stock prices from plunging significantly.
Over the past six months, GB pound has appreciated by 3% against the Pak Rupee, increasingthe cost of imported parts for the tractor assemblers, with increasing steel prices adding greaterburden. Regulated tractor prices on the local front will result in an inability of the manufacturers toincrease the prices, which is likely to negatively impact gross margins, going forward. .
Possible deregulation of the tractor prices can act as a potential price trigger for the manufacturersgoing forward. However, influx of cheaper imported tractors is likely to threaten in the medium tolong term. While we expect cost pressures to persist on the back of increase in steel prices andappreciating GBP vs. PkR, we estimate the sector to report 11%YoY growth in bottomline basedon growth in volumes. However, we feel this is insufficient for the sector to outperform the indexin CY08.

Management believes that potential in the consumer segment is stillhigh and that the current downturn in this segment is temporary. We expect loangrowth to recover in CY08F, on the back of a resurgent corporate cycle andrecovery on the consumer side, with the ADR to inch to 61%. .
Accelerated deposit growth in tandem with high funding costs (>6%) haveunderstandably led to spreads just below 4%. Going forward, we expect fundingcosts to come down as existing branches mature and new branches enhance the‘convenience’ factor for BAFL. On this basis, we expect spreads to breach the4% barrier in CY08F and show consistent improvement going forward. We thusexpect net interest income to show CY06-CY09 CAGR of 28%.
Fee income continues to display impressive growth, increasing by 39%YoY toreach PkR643mn in 3QCY07. Growth over nine months is even more impressive;growing by 43%YoY in 9MCY07. Aided by the consumer business, we expect feeincome to further rally the bottom line, even as core income rises through improvingspreads. On a cautionary note, the normalized cost/income ratio reached a high75% in 3QCY07. If the issue is ignored, rising expenses have the potential to eatinto improving topline income but we expect management to address the matter.With regards to the new Forced Sale Value (FSV) regulation, we estimate an EPSimpact for BAFL of close to PkR0.88 for full-year CY07 due to estimated incrementalprovisioning amounting to PkR880mn.
In 3QCY07, BAFL recorded capital gains of PkR1.789bn on the sale of 48.8mnshares of Warid Telecom to Singtel. The ace up the sleeve for BAFL is theremaining stake (12.38%) in Warid Telecom where the remaining 267.957mnshares are held at a book cost of PkR2.19bn. Using the terms of the current sell-off as a proxy, these shares are potentially worth PkR12.55bn. As it stands, BAFLis sitting on a potential capital gain of PkR10.4bn, translating into a post-tax gainof PkR11.76/share!
BAFL is currently trading at a CY08F Tier-I P/B multiple of 2.1x and a CY08FPER of 9.97x. The remaining stake in Warid, if sold, represents a potential totalTier-I BVPS of PkR32.6 on which basis BAFL is trading at a Tier-I P/B multipleof just 1.7x. The scrip has outperformed the KSE-Index by 22.6% over the past12 months. As it stands, BAFL offers 41.2% upside to our target price of PkR76.10.

Cement sector is completing an expansionary phase with annual capacity in FY08expected to reach 38mn tpa versus 30mn tpa in FY07. The recent demand trendhas remained robust with total dispatches in the industry surging by 32%YoY in5MFY08. DGKC's total dispatches in 5MFY08 amounted to 1.64mn tons, depictinga growth rate of 71%YoY. Domestic demand is likely to remain robust over themedium term considering Pakistan's low capita consumption, large populationand 6% plus GDP growth. Exports should continue to elevate the growth rate asconstruction boom coupled with infrastructure developments in India, Middle Eastand Afghanistan are likely to keep Pakistani cement manufacturers busy in thelong run
While the 1HFY08 results are likely to be a dampener on the stock price owingto increased costs and low retention prices, the real impact of increase in pricesis likely to become obvious in 3QFY08 onwards. Furthermore, with DGKC expectedto take export exposure to complement the company's domestic lionshare, weexpect a 3-year volume CAGR of 25%. With volumes taking care of their end ofthe equation, we expect a "price consensus" to take care of the rising input costand improve overall margins.
In November 07, DGKC sold nearly 40k tons to India and has targeted 300k tonsof export to India for FY08. This will help in improving gross margin since averageretention prices from Indian sales are around US$65/ton. We believe shortagein India is likely to persist till FY10 after which major capacity expansions comeonline. However for now cement manufacturers in Pakistan have enough idlecapacity to step in and contribute to reducing the demand supply gap in India.Prices on the local front have gradually improved by PkR35/ per bag as it wasbecoming increasingly difficult for cement manufacturers to absorb the rise ininput costs at previous prices. Retail prices have gone up to PkR225-PkR230 perbag in the North and PkR245-PkR250 per bag in South. We expect prices togradually improve as the demand rides a seasonal upturn from 3QFY08 onwards.
In line with the industry's price performance, over the past one year, DGKC's priceappreciated by 11% relative to the market. The performance could have beenmuch better was it not for the disappointing quarterly results, which resulted inthe company underperforming the index by 19.6% since the announcement ofthe 1HFY07 results. At current market price, the stock trades at FY08 PER of13.9x and P/B of 0.7x versus the regional average PER of 21x. However, DGKC'score EV/ton of US$47 is significantly less than the regional average of US$183.

PakistanFertilizer Sector
Engro Chemical Limited
Urea demand reported flat growth during CY07 as a result of carryover inventory atdealer level at the beginning of the year. During the year, the local companies benefitedfrom r is ing international prices as well as strong pricing power on the local frontHowever, going forward, in a supply constrained market local fertilizer companies arelikely to benefit from increasing urea prices which while subsidized following theinternational trend for CY08, we expect 4%YoY increase in urea prices. Strong pricingpower and improved other income for most fertilizer companies is likely to drive earningsgrowth of the fertilizer sector.
Engro Chemicals is well placed to encash upon its status as a conglomerate throughexploiting the growth in demand for urea, FMCG and power segments through aggressiveexpansions. Furthermore the company is also increasing the capacity of Engro Polymer,Engro's 80% owned subsidiary which is likely to come online in the 2HCY08. EngroPolymer is expected to be listed separately after the company issues an IPO in March08. While this may not change the fundamental value of Engro Chemicals, it is likelyto act as a significant price trigger for the stock.
Strong pricing power of the companies is likely to allow them to pass on input cost (gasprices increased by 6% in January 08) increases to consumers. As a result, we expectthe margins to remain stable for most fertilizer companies if not improve any further.
4QCY07 results are likely to act as a potential short term trigger for the stock. Engro's4QCY07 bottomline is likely to be enhanced on the back of higher dividend from EngroEximp, Engro's subsidiary involved in marketing DAP. Increased sales of DAP as wellas inventory gains as a result of continuous rise in the international DAP prices arelikely to result in enhanced 4QCY07 results (Engro will book dividends from both thequarters in the 4QCY07), translating into higher dividends for Engro Chemicals. As aresult, Engro Chemicals can potentially report an EPS of PkR6.5 to PkR7.5, the highestever being reported by the company in a quarter. Furthermore, plant shut down ofFFBL during 1QCY07 should provide opportunity for Engro to import greater quantityof DAP and cash upon inventory gains on the back of expected continuous increasein DAP prices.
Engro outperformed the benchmark KSE-100 index by 19.2% over the past 12 monthsand should continue to perform on the back of the value the stock holds in form ofEngro Foods as well as news flow regarding the IPO of Engro Polymer. While thecompany's NPAT is likely to grow at a meager rate of 3% till CY09, once the expansioncomes online Engro's 4-year (CY09-CY15) earnings CAGR is likely to increase up to25%, translating into a PEG ratio of 0.81.

Being the market leader with 49% market share in a supply constrained ureamarket, FFC is allowed a degree of pricing power, which enables it to maintainits gross margins in case of an increase in raw material and fuel costs (whichincludes increase in gas prices mainly). Like most fertilizer companies CY07 hasbeen a dull year for urea when fertilizer companies, reported a 7%YoY declinein urea sales. However, the company banked upon growth in output prices ofurea and purchased DAP, resulting in the company's operating income increasingby 22%YoY in 9MCY07.
FFC has no major capacity expansion plans except for 37k MT of debottleneckingwhich is likely to come online in CY08, which is expected to be fully absorbed inthe same year. While we estimate the urea sales volumes to grow by 3%YoY inCY08, we expect Fauji Fertilizer Company to post a 17%YoY growth in CY08bottomline on the back of 1) 4%YoY growth in average urea prices, 2) Inflatedother income from FFBL, which is likely to bring its 51% DAP capacity expansiononline in 2QCY08, and 3) relatively higher DAP sales volume owing to FFBL'sshutdown for BMR completion.
Fauji Fertilizer Company currently offers a dividend yield of 11% on forecastedCY07 DPS, which makes it a unique defensive stock with a twist of growth comingfrom its 51% stake in FFBL. This is against the market average of 5%. Thecompany has historically maintained a 100%+ payout ratio and we expect thecompany to continue doing so in the future since it has no significant expansionor diversification plans coming up in the short-term. Therefore, in the wake ofpolitical uncertainty which is likely to persist during 1QCY08, FFC can add valueto an investor's portfolio as a defensive stock and at the same time offer potentialfor growth from 2HCY08, when the benefits from FFBL's expansion start flowingin from higher dividends.
Over the past one year, we believe that investors have overlooked the key playerin the local fertilizer industry, Fauji Fertilizer Company Ltd which has underperformedthe index by 23% over the same period of time. FFC currently trades at a forecastedCY08F PER of 9.3x compared to the sector average of 11.2x. At the same time,the stock offers an impressive dividend yield of 11% on forecasted CY08 DPS.Considering that FFBL has outperformed the index by 12% over the past oneyear on the back of capacity expansions expected to be completed in CY08, webelieve that FFC should be in the investors' limelight owing to its 51% stake inFFBL. Based on cheap multiples and its relative underperformance, we re-iterateour Accumulate stance on FFC with a DCF based target price of PkR137.

As characterized by the rest of the sector, deposit growth at 23%YoY has beenstrong for HBL this year, deposits having reached PkR506bn in Sep’07. Advancesgrowth has been relatively modest, at 6.17%YoY in the nine months to Sep’07.Advances have reached PkR327bn in 3QCY07, leaving the ADR at 65%. Goingforward, we expect HBL to be a prime beneficiary as the corporate borrowingcycle picks speed, as the Bank’s high equity size implies high per-party exposure.In tandem with further expansion in the consumer financing space (through creditcards), we expect the ADR to reach close to 70% by CY08F end. .
A strong deposit franchise continues to manifest through the largest branchnetwork in Pakistan (more than 1400 domestic branches). As a result, HBLcontinues to enjoy high spreads of close to 6%. With growth focus on retail depositsand recent entry into high-yielding consumer segments, we expect spreads to bemaintained above 6% going forward. On the non-core income side, HBL’ feeincome has declined by 5.5%YoY in 9MCY07. We expect a significant improvementon this front as the bank develops its consumer financing portfolio. .
Recent poor price performance of HBL (the scrip has underperformed the KSE-100 Index by 10.0% over the last month) is attributable in part to asset qualityfears, with the bank expected to face incremental provisioning of more thanPkR4bn in full-year CY07, due to the new FSV regulation. However, investorsentiment also seems to have been damaged due to the bank reversing a sizeablecapital gain (of PkR9.8bn) of mark-to-market of an associate in 3QCY07. Thatsaid, the FSV rule has no cash-flow impact, leaving fundamentals intact and thecapital gain u-turn in 3QCY07 simply reverses the gain booked in 2QCY07. Withstrong provisions built-in, we expect the quality of 2008 earnings to significantlyimprove, especially as HBL looks to flex its lending muscle.
The story of HBL is all about the restructuring process. We expect expenses tonormalize on the back of completed Voluntary Separation Scheme (for CY06 andCY05 the pre-tax VSS expense per share has been PkR2.5 and PkR2.3respectively). At the same time, we remain admirers of HBL’s solid topline wherebyan efficient deposit base leads to high spreads and consequently high profitability.Further penetration of the consumer financing space through credit cards andmore focus on SMEs represent potentially high-reward growth areas. Executionefficiency is key for HBL whereby the Bank is ahead of other newly-privatizedpeer banks in the upgrade of IT infrastructure.
In light of recent poor price performance, we expect a turnaround as HBL’s distinctadvantages such as low funding costs (<4%), large customer base (more than5mn customers, translating into significant cross-sell opportunities) and a solidbrand name manifest themselves going forward. HBL is currently trading at aCY08F Tier-I P/B multiple of 2.8x and a CY08F PER of 9.67x. The scrip offers50.6% upside to our target price of PkR355. Buy!

With the economy growing at an average of 6.2% over the past 5 years, Pakistan'selectricity infrastructure is being put to test. With GDP growth expected to hoverclose to 7% mark, power consumption is expected to grow by 8%-9% p.a. However,lack of investment over the past decade in power sector now stands as a majorobstacle ahead of the current economic growth trajectory. The existing demandand supply gap in power consumption is estimated to be growing at a rate of1,000MW/year and is expected to reach approximately 5,550MW by CY10.
Since the power sector companies receive a fixed return on equity (ROE)guaranteed by the Government of Pakistan (GoP), they operate as quasi-sovereignbond instruments. At current market price, Hubco offers a dividend yield of 9%on estimated FY08 DPS. However, dividend yield for Hubco is expected to increasefrom FY09 onwards based on higher project company equity (PCE) payments inthe re-negotiated tariff structure. In this regard, Hubco is offering a 3-year dividendCAGR of 14% (CY08 - CY11).
Hubco is also a play on the expansion front where it is set to increase its powergeneration capacity by 225MWs. This project is in the advanced stages ofnegotiations with the government of Pakistan. The management has reiteratedthat the project is expected to be in commercial operation by March 2010. In suchcase, our expansion based target price rises to PkR37.1 offering an upside of8.8% from current levels. Regarding further expansion, we anticipate that afavorable development will be witnessed soon for at least one generation projectout of three projects (350-450MWs) solicited by the PPIB for which Hubco hadpreviously qualified. We are holding off on pricing the potential upside from thisproject until a material development transpires.
With regards to its strategy of becoming a large, diversified energy player inPakistan, Hubco plans to actively pursue the privatization of SSGC when the sell-off resumes. Furthermore, Hubco in collaboration with Mitsui of Japan is alsoseeking alternative power generation and in this regard is looking at setting upan imported coal based integrated power project in excess of 1000MWs alongthe coast of Karachi. A LoI was issued to Hubco in March '07 and developmenton this front is expected to be seen when the feasibility process is completed andapproved by the GoP.
With the capital market gaining back its upward momentum in the last few months,the price performance of Hubco has shown fatigue, underperforming the benchmarkKSE-100 Index by 16% over the last three months. At current price levels, Hubcois trading at a potential FY08E PER of 12.5x and against the market PER of10.55x. We believe the premium Hubco is trading at against the market is justifiedon the back of Hubco's growth prospects in becoming a diversified energy player.On the P/BVS multiple, Hubco is trading at a 1.3x for FY08F. At present, werecommend Accumulate on Hubco which is offering a potential upside of 6.8%to its base-case target price of PkR34.17/share.

With the price agreement falling apart in December 06, cement manufacturerslost their pricing power to competition and undercutting with excess capacity lyingwith most cement manufacturers. However, unlike others, Lucky was able tobenefit from greater exposure on the export front, which enabled it to report bestgross margins in the industry owing to better retention prices on the export front.With prices on the local front falling, exports became a viable option for mostmanufacturers. Having presence in both the north and the south, Lucky was ableto grab a lion's share on exports front with India being the avenue explored recentlyand demand in Afghanistan and Middle East staying robust. During 5MCY08,lucky was able to capture 38% in the exports market.
Average retention prices have dropped to PkR2,633 per ton in 1QFY08 ascompared to PkR3,347 per ton in the corresponding period last year, a declineof 21%YoY. Plunging retention prices combined with rising coal prices have keptthe gross margins under pressure. During 1QFY08, Lucky's gross margins fellto 27% from 37% in 4QFY07, but still higher than the industry's average marginof 19%. With input prices increasing at a rapid pace, cement manufacturersresumed a price consensus in late November 07.
With resumption of price consensus, we witnessed a PkR30/bag increase duringNovember and December 07. We expect average retention prices for the industryto settle at PkR2,900 per ton for the full year FY08. Lucky's prices are howeverexpected to be further supported by an increasing concentration of exports in theoverall sales mix. While higher coal prices should keep margins under pressure,healthy demand domestically as well as regionally should enable Lucky to post4-year earnings CAGR of 19%.
Despite the fact that Lucky has underperformed the benchmark KSE 100 Indexby 15% over the past three months, mainly because of disappointing results ofthe cement sector, over the past one year Lucky has managed to outperform theKSE-100 index by 65%. However, resumption of price agreement amongmanufacturers as well as robust demand on the export front warrants anoutperfromance of Lucky. While 1HFY08 results are likely to keep cement stockprices under pressure, once the full impact of increase in output prices becomesobvious and volumes take off post winter season, we are likely to see an uptrendin 2HFY08. Therefore, even though the YoY growth of 4% may not fully reflectthe positives, 31%YoY growth in FY09 should lure the investor interest into thescrip. At current market price, the stock trades at FY08 PER of 11.8x, P/B of 1.9xand EV/ton of US$100.

Nishat Mills Ltd. (NML) posted an earnings growth of 14%YoY in 1QFY08 whereEPS came in at PkR3.03. The topline decreased marginally by 2%YoY to reachPkR4.27bn in 1QFY08 as compared with PkR4.36bn reported in the same periodlast year. As NML buys the bulk of its cotton during September to December, theincrease in the price of cotton in 1QFY08 did not have a significant impact onmargins. Gross margins remained stable at 19% in 1QFY08. Other incomechanneling in from associate companies posted a growth of 5%YoY to furthersupplement the bottomline. In FY07, the company posted a 3%YoY earningsgrowth while topline grew by 3%YoY. However, higher raw material costs (cotton)and overheads (especially utilities) decreased the gross margin to 16.5% in FY07versus 17.7% in FY06. The growth in earnings was achieved on the back of capitalgains from its investment portfolio as other income surged 102%YoY in FY07,and represented 31% of pre-tax profits.
The current shortage of cotton in the country continues to drive up cotton priceswhich have risen 19%YoY in the first five months of the current fiscal year(5MFY08). The shortfall continues to be concentrated in Punjab, where arrivalsare down 25%YoY as of December 15th, ’07. In FY08 and FY09, we estimateNML will buy cotton at an average rate of PkR2,800/maund which will compressgross margins further. Being predominantly export oriented, NML has the abilityto pass on the higher cost of production but competition from the region will keepprice hikes checked. We have forecasted gross margins to be 15.8% and 16.1%in FY08 and FY09, respectively. Going forward gross margins should average16.8% p.a. during FY10-FY12 as cost efficiencies are achieved and topline isfurther bolstered by exports.
China is the largest importer of cotton and cotton yarn in the world. We expectthe regional environment to change in the shape of greater yarn demand fromChina as quota imposition from the EU is set to expire in Dec ‘07. Pakistan enjoysspecial market access to China under the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) that givesPakistan zero-rated access to many textile products. NML is expected to benefitas Hong Kong and China are the major markets for its cotton yarn. Duty on cottonyarn, which is currently at 5%, will be zero rated under the FTA with China onJanuary 1st, '08, in contrast to the 15% duty imposed on other countries.
Over the last year, the AKD textile universe has failed to show a stellar performance,underperfoming the benchmark KSE-100 Index by 26%YoY. Similarly, NML hasunderperformed the benchmark index by 24%YoY in the same time frame. Webelieve that the hike in cotton prices and the unclear impact of the pest attackaffecting the cotton crop have been largely overplayed by investors. At currentmarket levels, NML is trading at a forward PER of 9.7x on FY08 expected earningsas compared with the market PER at 10.55x. Furthermore, the company is alsotrading below its book value of PkR195/share which makes NML an attractivebuy on the FY08 P/B multiple of 0.5x. We maintain our Buy stance on the scripwhich is offering an upside of 40.6% to our Sum-of-the-Parts (SOP) based targetprice of PkR144/share.

Guidance estimates targeting production of 10-11% over the next three years forOGDC seems achievable in our view. Fast track development of new discoveriesand production ramp for the portfolio adds credence to guidance estimates (seeAKD OGDC Epigram: Fast Track Guidance! dated: November 15, 2007).
Production driven earnings growth (15%YoY) in FY08, coupled with reserveaddition and increasing confidence in the company's ability to deliver on explorationprospects reinforce our positive stance on the stock. OGDC has targeted 41 wellsin FY08 with an additional 9 wells pending security clearance. In FY08, thecompany has announced one small discovery at Moolan 1 exploration well.However drilling update available on PPIS indicates discovery news flow to come.
OGDC's management while streaming online new discoveries has shifted focustowards fast track development. In FY08, out of the 41 well spudding target, OGDCis planning to spud 24 appraisal/development wells versus 16 targeted last year.As a result, the wildcat target has dropped to 17 for FY08.
OGDC is slated to show improvement in overall margins where volume growthand improved price environment should have its impact on the topline while astable drilling target similar to last year should keep the surge in explorationexpenditure limited.
While OGDC continues to add to its offshore portfolio, the company is also makingefforts to take its onshore portfolio global. OGDC has qualified for operator statusin Libya and is in the bidding process for exploration licenses. .
OGDC repeated last year's 1Q financial performance by recording NPAT ofPkR12.336bn in 1QFY08 against NPAT of PkR12.327bn in the correspondingperiod last year translating into an EPS of PkR2.87. The company was able torecord an increase of 9.8%YoY in topline emanating from growth in oil and gasproduction despite lower realized prices. The company's fast track developmentand streaming online new discoveries led oil and gas volumes to increase by15.7%YoY and 13.9%YoY respectively. Growth in gas volumes however, has alsobeen driven by a lower base recorded last year due to prolonged turnaround timeat key production assets. With volume growth coming through, the company'sbottomline remained flat due to higher royalty payments relating to prior yearadjustments on condensate and LPG production from Dhodak and Dakhni fields.While adjustment has taken place, we expect a marginal adjustment relating tothe aforementioned head to be witnessed in 2QFY08. That said, with the surgein exploration expenditure expected to remain in check in FY08, the company isslated to show improvement QoQ and YoY.
At 10.3x forward earnings, OGDC is trading lower than its historic valuation rangeand with forecasted EPS growth of 15%, OGDC has clearly been overlooked byinvestors in the recent bull run. At current market price OGDC offers an upsideof 20.6% to our target price of PkR146.50 - Accumulate

Pakistan State Oil has posted stellar volume growth this year with 5MFY08 salesvolumes increasing by 17%YoY outperforming sector volume growth by 5%.During the review period, PSO has increased overall product market share by3ppt to 68%. We expect PSO's sales volumes to continue outperforming sectorgrowth through aggressive retail level sales initiatives, extensive distributionnetwork and long term secured supply contracts.
Inventory gains and robust growth in overall sales volumes resulted in the companyposting a bottomline growth of 271%YoY. During the review period, PSO postedNPAT of PkR2.1bn (EPS-PkR12.26) in 1QFY08 versus NPAT of PkR0.567bn(EPS-PkR3.30) in 1QFY07. The company's topline increased by 12%YoY toPkR122bn driven by a 16%YoY increase in overall sales volumes. The company'searnings growth was also supported by lower financial charges, down 12%YoY.We expect financial charges to increase going forward with rising PDC funding.However, with the GoP taking out a syndicated financing facility to pay-off oilmarketing companies, should lower the burden and with more windfall inventorygains to come, PSO is poised to show a bottomline growth of 53%YoY in FY08.
We expect PSO to record bumper earnings this year with a projected bottomlinegrowth of 53% YoY (NPAT PkR7.19bn - EPS PkR41.92). Growth in earnings islikely to be driven by windfall inventory gains on the back of record high crudeand refined product prices versus heavy inventory losses recorded last year.Earnings should see further support from stellar volume growth and with the GoPproviding some relief on the increasing PDC burden should keep the increase infinancing requirements in check.
PSO remains our preferred long term play in the oil marketing sector where weexpect current volume outperformance to continue. We expect PSO to post acomfortable 3-year volume CAGR of 7% versus sector volume growth of 5%.Volume outperformance should continue on the back of value added services togenerate forecourt traffic backed by long term supply contracts particularly for FOsupply to new IPPs. Furthermore, with PSO sitting on an unleveraged balancesheet, we believe once the privatization chapter closes, the scrip will be in for are-rating through potential movement along the value chain.

Major Support PKR49~50.35 Short-term Target PKR59.65~60.35 Intermediate Target PKR65.85~68 Long Term Target PKR85~87
§ A bullish wave witnessed in January 2007 carried BAFL toward its record closing high of PKR62.10 posted on June 29, 2007, followed by a corrective wave retracing around 61.8% of the move. On the weekly chart, a symmetrical triangle has evolved where penetration – projected by March 2008 -- above falling trend line (placed around PKR60~61) is required to validate the pattern.
§ A breakout above this line, coupled with healthy volume would fuel a rally toward our intermediate target price of 65.85~68 levels -- anticipated between bearish belt-hold (long red body) and 76.4% Fibonacci Projection (30.96-65.80).
§ A strong momentum would then be needed to breach this target, before the stock looks set to meet our December 08 price- objective of PKR85~87 -- as projected by the triangle pattern.
§ In the immediate term, major support is anticipated around
PKR49~50.35.

Major Support PKR84 Short Term Target PKR105 Intermediate Target PKR116.75~118.20 Long Term Target PKR139.30
§ Series of higher bottoms along with rising OBV (On Balance Volume) over the past three years is suggestive of an up trend to remain intact. Keeping faith with the implications, we hold a bullish outlook on DGKC for the year 2008.
§ A formidable resistance exits around our short-term target of PKR105 –
anticipate at 61.8% Fibonacci Projection (84-118.20) where close above the mentioned level will pave the way toward our intermediate price target of PKR116.75~118.20 around 100% Fibonacci Projection (84-118.20).
§ Moreover, if strong momentum is able to penetrate (weekly closing
basis) above the mentioned levels, then DGKC would be on its final move toward our long-term price objective of PKR139.30 – anticipated around 161.80% Fibonacci Projection (84-118.20).
§ Two major supports exist at PKR84 and PKR59.74

Major Support PKR238 Short Term Target PKR296~300 Intermediate Target PKR348~350 Long Term Target PKR390~400
§ ENGRO’s price activity remained largely flat during the period July -December 2006, before commencing its northward trend by the fag end of December 2006. The stock then achieved a new milestone on October 4, 2007 – settling at an all-time high of PKR294.70 -- followed by a reaction rally, which dragged the share sharply lower to bottom an intraweek-low PKR248.50 on the week ended November 16, 2007. The case is prime example of Eliot Wave – sans the temporary downward spike seen between December 31st2007- January 3rd 2008.
§ Our analysis suggests, that a fifth Eliot Wave is on the cards, where
ENGRO seems quite strong to breach (on weekly basis) its formidable resistance around our short-term target of PKR296~300 levels – seen at 161.8% Fibonacci Projection (98.3-197.7). A continuing rally can then pull the stock toward our intermediate target of PKR348~350 anticipated around 123.6% Fibonacci Projection (163.60-272.50).
§ A successful penetration on weekly close backed by strong momentum
would then be required above our medium-term target, to drive the scrip to its 161% Fibonacci Projection (163.60-272.50) of PKR390~400 – our December 2008 technical price objective.
§ Two major supports exist at PKR238 and PKR215~216

Major Support PKR111~112 Short Term Target PKR126.65~128 Intermediate Target PKR140.80 Long Term Target PKR160~163
§ The story of FFC looks bittersweet, where looking at higher troughs amid rising OBV (On Balance Volume) over the past three years; we hold a strong view on the stock. However, the upper black line of the ascending triangle – formed in three years of price action- is just as strong of a resistance at the same time.
§ Given this, we feel the key to FFC rally lies in the completion of the
triangle pattern in the form of a break out above the upper black line. A close above PKR126.65~128 (breakout) along with healthy volumes would fuel a bullish rally toward our medium-term target of PKR140.80 – seen at 61.8% Fibonacci Projection (66.15-125.38).
§ This when breached on a weekly closing basis, will carry the stock to its
December 2008 price objective of PKR160~163 -- anticipated around 100% Fibonacci Projection (66.15-125.38).
§ On the demand side, major support exists around PKR111~112

Major Support PKR24.40 Short Term Target PKR34.80~35 Intermediate Target PKR37.75 Long Term Target PKR42
§ Bullish rally witnessed in June 2007 carried HUBC toward its all-time high of PKR37.75 touched on week ended June 8, 2007. Thereafter, corrective wave pushed the stock down to bottom at PKR26.90 on week ended September 7, 2007. Keeping faith with bullish implications emitted by the rising OBV (On Balance Volume) and higher troughs over the past two years, we project a steady and firm momentum for the upcoming months.
§ Going forward, weekly close above formidable resistance at PKR32.30
around 50% Fibonacci Retracement (26.90~37.75) is required to trigger a renewed rally, which may carry the stock toward our short-term target of PKR34.80~35 anticipated around 76.4% Fibonacci Projection (26.90~34.95). If the mentioned target is breached with healthy momentum, then the stock would be on its way towards our intermediate-target of PKR37.75 completing its 100% Retracement (26.90~37.75). Once that high is breached, then stock would be on its way toward our long-term technical price objective of PKR42 anticipated at 161.80 Fibonacci Projection (26.90~37.75).
§ Major support exists at PKR24.40 (a bullish belt-hold formed on week
ended January 19, 2007.

Major Support PKR104.70 Short Term Target PKR130 Intermediate Target PKR139.95~141.80 Long Term Target PKR154
§ LUCK’s rising OBV (On Balance Line) along with higher troughs over the past three years is projecting a steady and firm trend. However, the stock holds a crucial price-barrier around its 2007- closing-high of PKR143.05 seen on October 18th, following which it saw a reaction rally where it retraced the move by 76.4% on daily chart.
§ For the immediate term, a break above minor resistance at PKR116.50 is
required to generate a rally toward our price target of PKR130 -- seen at 76.4% Fibonacci Projection (30.25~130.05). A weekly closing above this formidable resistance will take the stock towards our medium-term target of PKR139.95~141.80.
§ Once this target is achieved, a sharp breakout backed by a strong
momentum would then confirm a smooth rally until our long-term price objective is met at PKR54 -- anticipated around 100% Projection (30.25~130.05).
§ Major support exists around PKR104.70.

Major Support PKR97.25 Short Term Target PKR120~121.30 Intermediate Target PKR132.35~135 Long Term Target PKR145.50
§ Looking at NML’s movement over the past three years, the series of successively higher troughs along with steady OBV (On Balance Volume), suggests that the primary trend is up and firm.
§ In immediate term, weekly penetration above formidable resistance
anticipated around PKR110.70 is likely to ignite a rally toward our short-term target of PKR120~121.30 levels anticipated around 50% Fibonacci Projection (86~135). Which if breached on weekly closing basis, then it is likely that the stock would then be on its move toward our intermediate target of PKR132~135 levels anticipated between upper black line (major resistance) and 76.4% Fibonacci Projection (86-135).
§ And if the stock is successful in breaching the mentioned levels, backed
by healthy momentum, which is not going to be an easy task, will pave the way towards our long-term price objective of PKR145.50 – anticipated at 100% Fibonacci Projection (86-135).
§ Major support exists around PKR97.25.

Major Support PKR113.80 Short Term Target PKR134.90~135.70 Intermediate Target PKR142.75~144 Long Term Target PKR154.10~155.75
§ After tapping its all time high of PKR177.10 (adjusted) on March 18, 2005; OGDC saw a major fall-out in the March-2005 meltdown, forming a bottom at PKR65 (adjusted) on June 3, 2005 – loosing almost 63.3% of its value in just three months. The rally witnessed in November 2005 then lifted the stock toward PKR155.75 following which the activity remained within a broader band of PKR98.60~148.45 price levels.
§ On the weekly chart, price action over the past three years has evolved
into a bullish symmetrical triangle pattern, where weekly close above the upper falling line (i.e PKR125~127.50) will complete the pattern by mid-March 2008, lifting the stock towards our short-term target of PKR134.90~135.70 – 50% Fibonacci Projection (86~155.75). Though a penetration above this level would not be an easy task, but a breakout driven by healthy volumes is likely to fuel an unchecked rally towards our intermediate target of PKR142.75~144 – anticipated around 61.8% Fibonacci Projection (86~155.75). A weekly closing above these levels will pave way toward the stock’s December 2008 price objective of PKR154.10~155.75 anticipated around 76.4% Fibonacci Projection(86-155.75).
§ Meanwhile, two major supports are anticipated around PKR113.80 and

Major Support PKR376 Short Term Target PKR436~438.50 Intermediate Target PKR490~495 Long Term Target PKR550
§ Over the last 18-months, the series of higher bottoms along with rising OBV (On Balance Volume) suggest that the primary trend is up and firm. An ascending triangle pattern has evolved during the last two years where the price level of PKR412~415 holds the key in the form of an upper line. Although, heavy and unsymmetrical battering seen last week has pushed the stock price below the upper line, we feel it is but inevitable for the stock to breakout and re-validate the pattern it showed earlier on September 23, 2007.
§ The breakout would then trigger a rally to lead PSO toward its short-term
target placed at PKR436~438.50 around 76.4% Fibonacci Projection (176-412). Keeping aside the fact that these levels would prove a tough barrier to cross, we believe that a strong momentum can carry the stock toward its intermediate target of PKR490~495 -- anticipated around 100% Fibonacci Projection (176-412). The stock would then be awaiting a trigger to push it through the gap until the level of PKR550, which would be our December-2008 technical price objecive for the stock – seen at 123.6% Fibonacci Projection (176~412).
§ Major support exists around PKR376~380.
