π― Investment Thesis
Given FANM’s fluctuating financial performance and inherent market risks, a HOLD recommendation seems appropriate.

A price target cannot be accurately determined without further fundamental analysis, but a neutral stance is justified until there is more evidence of sustained growth and stability.
First Al Noor Modaraba’s unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, reveal a notable turnaround compared to the same period last year. The company reported a profit after taxation of Rs 7.65 million, a stark contrast to the loss of Rs 6.92 million in 2024. This positive shift is driven by a substantial increase in gain from trading operations and income from investments, offsetting higher administrative expenses.
