🎯 Investment Thesis

Given the loss reported, the rising administrative costs, and the overall negative trajectory, a SELL recommendation is warranted. The company’s financial performance raises significant concerns about its ability to generate sustainable profits. While the increase in assets looks good, liability is a real concern. In the absence of a clear turnaround strategy and considering the limited information about the Modaraba’s operations and sector, the downside risk outweighs any potential upside. I’d avoid the stock with a target price of PKR 7 which will be book value, which is unlikely to be achieved in the short term, considering the current financials and a time horizon of 6-12 months.
