The company reported losses for the years ending June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024. Despite the ongoing challenges in the textile sector, management is actively exploring options to revive operations, focusing on strengthening financial resources, evaluating market conditions, and improving operational efficiency.

While management aims to revive operations, the risks outweigh the potential rewards in the short term. The price target is highly speculative and is based on potential turnaround. A more concrete plan for resuming operations and addressing financial constraints is needed before considering a BUY recommendation. The price target cannot be accurately determined at this time due to the lack of financial data.

🎯 Investment Thesis

Based on the available information, a HOLD recommendation is warranted. The company has shown some improvement by reducing losses, but it remains unprofitable and heavily reliant on the resolution of legal cases and real estate projects. A BUY recommendation is not justified due to ongoing risks and uncertainties. A SELL recommendation is also not appropriate given the potential for recovery from current legal battles and future real estate investments. Current outlook suggests the Modaraba should continue to improve by managing risk and liquidating investments in progress. The price target will hinge on a successful resolution of its legal battles.
