Oct 28 2025


AKD Securities


  • Lucky Cement Ltd. (LUCK) announced its 1QFY26 financial results, reporting standalone earnings of PkR14.6bn (EPS: PkR10.0), compared to PkR6.6bn (EPS: PkR4.5) in SPLY, up 2.2x YoY. Earnings came above our expectations, mainly due to higher dividends from subsidiaries and associates. On a consolidated basis, profitability increased by 23%YoY to PkR22.0bn, primarily driven by improved performance of core cement operations.
  • Standalone revenue clocked in at PkR33.9bn, up 14%YoY from PkR29.8bn in SPLY, mainly on the back of 11%YoY increase in company’s offtakes during the period.
  • We have a ‘Buy’ stance on the stock with Jun’26 SOTP target price of PkR558.6/sh. Our liking for LUCK stems from; i) improvement in core margins, ii) increase in dividend from power segment and iii) expected recovery in cyclical segments benefiting its subsidiaries.

JS Global Capital


  • We upgrade LUCK to Buy from Hold, raising our SoTP-based TP to Rs570/sh from Rs480/sh, implying a 17% upside, driven mainly by a stronger contribution from core cement operations (Rs286/sh; 50% of SoTP) following an 8%/ 6% increase in our FY26E/ FY27F standalone earnings forecasts and a reduction in our risk-free rate assumption to 11% from 12% previously.
  • Management apprised that the 1.31mtpa cement capacity expansion through its JV in Congo was long overdue, as the company risked losing market share, with all three overseas cement operations currently running at over 90% capacity utilization.

Pakistan Cement: Demand remains strong – By Foundation Research

Jan 6 2026


Foundation Securities


  • Cement sector dispatches rose by 2.3% YoY in Dec’25 to 4.3Mn tons, while capacity utilization increased to a mere of 59.1% vs. a muted 57.4% in the SPLY. Despite winter season, local sales exhibited a surge of 7.4% YoY to 3.7Mn tons, showing demand recovery trend amid improved macros. However, exports declined by a sizable 20.7% YoY to reach 0.6Mn tons. Decline in exports were on account of high base effect from South exports, absence of North exports due to Afghan border closure and compensating rise in domestic demand post floods.
  • Demand continues its uptrend where local dispatches grew by 4.9% MoM despite the winter season as historically cement sales dip during these months. Local demand continued to show early signs of recovery in the aftermath of floods, aided by improved macros. However, exports were significantly impacted, owing to Afghan border closure given absence of North exports and improved local sales.
