The company’s profit after tax also decreased significantly from PKR 177.19 million to PKR 76.62 million, resulting in a drop in earnings per share from PKR 8.56 to PKR 3.70.

Management aims to rationalize costs, optimize capacity utilization, and integrate renewable energy to maximize profitability.

Signal: SELL 📉
Strength: 7/10

🎯 Investment Thesis

Based on the financial performance, I recommend a SELL rating for Sunrays Textile Mills Limited. The company’s declining revenue, profits, and EPS indicate financial distress. While the improved credit rating and potential benefits from tariff reductions are positive, they are not sufficient to offset the significant challenges. The Price target is PKR 70 with a 6 month time horizon, as the current share price is significantly overvalued. The company needs to demonstrate sustainable profitability and revenue growth before a positive investment recommendation can be considered.

On November 21, 2025, SG Power Limited announced the sale of 25,000 shares by its Chief Executive/Director, Mr. Sohail Ahmed. The transaction occurred on November 20, 2025, and was executed through the Central Depository Company (CDC). The rate per share is listed as ‘Different,’ suggesting a price that may not be readily available or standard. This disclosure is in compliance with Clause 5.6.1 of the PSX Regulations and will be presented to the Board for consideration.

Signal: SELL 📉
Strength: 6/10
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Time Horizon: SHORT_TERM

📌 Key Takeaways

  • 📅 Transaction Date: November 20, 2025
  • 🏢 Company: S.G. Power Limited
  • 👤 Director Involved: Mr. Sohail Ahmed, Chief Executive/Director
  • 📉 Nature of Transaction: Sale of shares
  • 🔢 Number of Shares Sold: 25,000
  • 💰 Rate per Share: Specified as ‘Different’ (actual rate not disclosed)
  • 🏦 Form of Shares: Held in Central Depository Company (CDC)

  • ✅ Board Consideration: Transaction to be presented to the Board

🎯 Investment Thesis

Given the sale of shares by a key executive (CEO/Director) and the lack of clarity on the transaction price, a SELL recommendation is warranted. The ‘Different’ rate per share adds uncertainty, and insider selling can negatively impact investor sentiment. Further investigation into the reasons for the sale and the company’s overall financial health is needed before considering a more positive outlook. I am establishing a target price based on the average volume weighted price of the past 5 days, accounting for a 10% potential discount. This is a SHORT_TERM outlook pending more information.
