🎯 Investment Thesis

OGDCL is a leading oil and gas company in Pakistan with significant reserves and production. However, the challenges related to circular debt, production curtailments, and regulatory risks are impacting its profitability and cash flows. Given these risks, a HOLD recommendation is appropriate at this time. The price target rationale is based on the current earnings multiple of 5.58x and EPS of 39.50, giving a share price of around 220 Rs, which is inline with market price. Thus, Hold.
