The significant improvements in profitability, EPS, and cash flow generation indicate strong growth potential. However, investors should monitor the risks associated with the textile sector, particularly those related to regulation and market conditions. The growth is exceptional given only a small growth in sales, with the primary effect of higher profits coming from significantly lower financing costs.

🎯 Investment Thesis

Based on the strong financial performance, particularly the substantial increase in net income and NAV per unit, a BUY recommendation is justified. The fund’s exposure to unrealized gains suggests potential for further appreciation if market conditions remain favorable. The increase in unit issuances also indicates growing investor confidence. The price target is set at PKR 33.00 per unit, reflecting an anticipated continuation of the fund’s positive performance trajectory. Time horizon is MEDIUM_TERM, expecting the fund to sustain its growth momentum.
