Pakistan Market Wrap: Profit-Taking Pulls Back the Bulls as Geopolitical Pressures Weigh on Sentiment – By HMFS Research

Nov 4 2025


HMFS Research


  • After a strong rally in the previous session, the KSE-100 Index witnessed a wave of profit-taking as investors opted to lock in gains, leading the benchmark to plunge 1,644 points during intraday trading. The momentum faltered amid a resurgence of geopolitical tensions, which dampened market sentiment and triggered cautious activity across key sectors. Adding to the pressure, October’s CPI inflation was reported at 6.2%, slightly denting investor confidence as concerns resurfaced over potential implications for monetary stability and consumption trends.
  • The KSE-100 Index ultimately closed at 161,282, down by 1,521 points from the previous session’s close. Trading activity remained moderate, reflecting a restrained investor stance, with 322mn shares traded on the KSE-100 Index and 898mn shares exchanged in the broader market. The day’s volume leaders included WTL (79mn), TELE (77mn), and KEL (72mn). Looking ahead, market direction is expected to remain contingent on the stability of border conditions and the evolving geopolitical landscape. However, optimism continues to brew around Pakistan’s “Blue Economy” initiative, a transformative long-term plan aimed at unlocking an estimated USD 100bn potential by 2047 through marine and coastal economic development. Should progress materialize on this front, it could serve as a catalyst for sustained market optimism in the coming months. That said, intermittent profit-taking phases remain a natural part of market cycles. Investors are advised to maintain a prudent approach, monitor evolving dynamics, and focus on fundamentally strong stocks offering long-term growth potential.

Pakistan Automobiles: INDU to keep the throne in the auto arena – By AKD Research

Nov 4 2025


AKD Securities


  • INDU’s continues to benefit from strong volumetric growth, diversified product portfolio, extensive dealership network, higher localization, strong brand equity, high presence in rural areas, and superior cash-conversion cycle. Moreover, higher localization would shield against currency devaluation and provide edge over new entrants. We reiterate our ‘Buy’ stance on INDU, with Jun’26 target price of PkR3,681/sh with forward dividend yield of 9.3%, led by sustained earnings, higher-than-anticipated volumetric and margins.
  • Accelerating beyond industry growth: We anticipate sustained volumetric growth primarily supported by i) rising income of farmers (with 50% of sales coming from rural areas), ii) strong brand equity, iii) the company’s extensive dealership network, being the largest in the country with 57 3S dealerships, and iv) strong parent book to be leveraged in case of absence of customer advances. Underpinned by the company’s recent performance, where INDU recorded a 61%YoY rise in volumes during FY25, significantly outperforming the industry’s 43%YoY growth in Passenger cars and LCVs, even amid the entry of multiple new competitors into the market. Against this backdrop, we project volumes to grow at an annual rate of 14% through FY28, reaching 49k units. Subsequently, we expect the company’s revenue to grow at a CAGR of 15.3%, up to FY28. Where, we forecast overall market to expand to 222k units by FY28, driven by i) moderation in prices, ii) increasing model availability, iii) improving per capita income, and iv) lowest per-capita vehicle penetration in the region.

Oct 23 2025


Foundation Securities


  • LSM output posted a modest recovery of 0.5% YoY (down 2.7% MoM) during Aug’25 supported by the rise in automobile production (up 130.7% YoY) given low base effect. Cumulatively, output enhanced by 4.4% YoY in 2MFY26 given robust demand amid improving macroeconomic environment.

Foundation Securities


  • Automobile sales increased 67% YoY (22% MoM) to 17.2K units on the back of strong showing in 800cc segment in Sep’25. In 1QFY26, sales went up 53% YoY to 42.3K units. Segment-wise analysis reveals that sales of 800cc/1300cc/1000cc/jeeps spiked 50/64/80/61% YoY in Sep’25. Player-wise breakdown exhibited that INDU/SAZEW/HCAR sales rose 33/73/82% YoY in Sep’25.
  • INDU maintains strong YoY momentum despite sequential dip: During Sep’25 INDU sales reached 3,152 units, up 33% YoY (↓ 7% MoM) in Sep’25. The YoY surge is driven by a jump in Corolla+Cross+Yaris to 2,655 units, up 41/4% YoY/MoM, which is primarily owed to Yaris sales, in our opinion. Additionally, Fortuner+Hilux sales climbed 3% YoY (↓ 41% MoM) to 497 which, in our view, the unappealing demand was mainly due to flood related disruptions and reduced urban demand. On a quarterly basis, INDU sales increased by a hefty 61% YoY to 9.9K units against 6.2K units in 1QFY25.
