🎯 Investment Thesis

Based on the solid financial performance and ongoing strategic initiatives, a BUY recommendation is justified for Murree Brewery. The company’s expansion projects, such as the new PET bottling line and maturation cellar, position it for continued growth. The improvement in EPS and overall profitability makes the stock attractive. However, the investment thesis needs to account for the risks linked to political instability and regulatory changes in Pakistan. Given the historical growth and current profitability, a price target of Rs. 140, representing a 19% upside from the current EPS and accounting for moderate risk, over a 12-month time horizon is reasonable.
