This Week’s Daily Reports

Commodities: COVID-19 bludgeons demand – provides respite at home, (AKD Daily, May 08, 2020)

The unprecedented nature of COVID-19 outbreak, its human toll and economic fallout has developed into a test case for how uncertainty is prices by financial market, with commodities on the front-line of marking risks to global economic output.

In this regard global macro-economic growth (US/China GDP growth -4.8/-6.8% for 1QCY20), industrial output indicators (Global Services PMI down to 2008-9 recession levels) and leading indicators (OECD consumer confidence underwent steepest drop ever) have signaled a weak demand environment for at least CY20.

Apart from precious metals all major commodity classes we track are in the red YoY and except for Gold & Urea, are lower CYTD, with energy commodities undergoing drastic downsides and undergoing a period of pricing demand destruction from prolonged global recessionary phase.

Urea and Steel benchmarks witnessed some upside from China resuming industrial production, while FAO’s Food Price Index witnessed softening as sugar prices tanked.

The nature of trade risks are greatly mitigated by lower energy costs while material commodity price dips are also favorable in nature. Additionally, the quantum and scale of benefits for end consumers is dependent on resurging demand, i.e consumer demand recovering, despite eco-nomic slowdown (exacerbated by COVID-19). Any budgetary subsidies, targeted disbursements for FY21 would be welcome in this regard.

Pakistan Cements: COVID-19 dulls the edge of dispatch growth, (AKD Daily, May 07, 2020)

Local cement dispatches for Apr’20 declined by 19%YoY as COVID-19 related restrictions took their toll, but managing to increase slightly by 1.7%MoM as restrictions, compared to Mar’20, were eased for the sector during Apr’20. For 10MFY20, local demand has posted meager growth of 1.2%YoY.

Exports from North took a significant hit, declining by 99/98% YoY/QoQ as border controls were imposed due to COVID-19 outbreak while South’s exports were dented by restrictions in place at export destinations.

After a horrid 3QFY20, local players increased prices by PkR25-30/bag however authorities have asked for an explanation for the price increase (policy of scrutinizing pricing across indus-tries/goods) prompting some players to take back the announcement.

We maintain LUCK (TP: PkR637.7/sh—40.9% upside), DGKC (TP: PkR106.9/sh—32.3% upside) and MLCF (TP: PkR38.3/sh—45.5% upside) as our preferred play from the sector with LUCK being the safest play with a diversified portfolio, while MLCF and DGKC have manageable debt levels where cost saving measures are expected to significantly improve efficiency.

Pakistan Energy: Demand disruption dulls margins, (AKD Daily, May 06, 2020)

POL product cracks through to April’20 fell under headwinds of depressed demand amidst continuing crude price rout (April’20/FY20TD Arab light Average of US$20.3/56.9/bbl), as April’20 HSD/MS crack to Arab Light for the month averaged US$+7.2/-5.5/bbl standing below FY20TD average of US$+8.9/+US$1.4/bbl, where MS cracks have expectedly succumbed to the tremendous demand disruption following global COVID-19 induced measures

HSFO cracks improved 89%MoM but remained in the red, where global spread of COVID-19 and resulting disruptions (with spillovers for power consumption, marine fuels) have kept cracks in the red, while amongst major product spreads, MS crack to Arab Light fell 343%MoM to levels last seen during Jan-Feb’19, largely due to hindered demand dynamics likely prevail-ing through to June’20

Cratered demand expectations have crystalized over the month with significantly curtailed refining runs (MENA refiners undergoing maintenance, Indian/Korea refiners at 50-60% capaci-ty) and regional slowdown evident in Asian refined fuels markets witnessing depleted volumes (Singapore Gasoline volume for April’20 down to sixteen month low, 92RON down 56%MoM)

Re-iterating our stance on refiners remaining handicapped due to global demand on a reces-sionary trend, we remain apprehensive of the sector’s prospects for profitability. APL remains our top pick in the downstream space, while PSO faces some upsides from possible circular debt clearances in the near term.

Pakistan OMCs: HSD shines in an otherwise depressing month, (AKD Daily, May 05, 2020)

Apr'20 volumetric offtake clocked in at 1.1mn tons, moving +5%MoM/-36%YoY with HSD leading the MoM increase (up 42%MoM) while curtailed FO, continued the YoY decline (down 75%YoY); MS declined by 36/20% YoY/MoM.

For 10MFY20, sales volume of 13.3mn tons fell 13%YoY exhausted by weak power demand (cumulative FO sales dip 31%YoY), where monthly average sales dropped to 167k tons vs. 243k tons during 10MFY19.

In terms of market shares, PSO/APL/HASCOL account for market shares of 36/9/8% during Apr'20 where a comparison with Apr'19 reveals decreasing share of APL/PSO by 1/8ppts while HASCOL increased market share by 1ppt.

Fluctuating international crude prices and ongoing lockdown is going to drive volumes where any easing would further prop up HSD demand however restrictions on individual movement will continue to hamper MS offtake.

APL (TP: PkR394.4/sh, 46% upside – Buy) is our preferred long term play as the company continues to maintain a stable market share, protected from adverse effects on its balance sheet due to COVID-19. On the other hand, PSO (TP: PkR203.5, 30% upside – Buy) can turn out to be a high beta play in near term particularly with expectations of further monetary easing while issue of Sukuk-II also expected in near term.

Pakistan Strategy: Learning to live with COVID-19, (AKD Daily, May 04, 2020)

Effectively building sentiment buffers to counter negativity from COVID-19, equity markets welcomed major reforms and policy actions undertaken (construction package, surprise rate cut, concessionary financing) pushing the KSE-100 index up 16.7%MoM, its highest monthly move up since March’09 and arresting two consecutive months of declines

Market liquidity tapered, with KSE-100/All average traded volumes receding 9.9/6.9%MoM (expected impact of reduced trading hours), while value traded during the month slipped 13%MoM to US$48.8mn as investors favored mainboard scrips (KSE-100 share of ready market volume at 77.2% vs. 75.1% 3MCY20 avg.)

FPI outflows continued to strengthen (in line with continued global EM sell-off), with Feb’20 recording net sell of US$68.9mn (taking CYTD outflows to US$207.2mn), where Mutual Funds (US$59.0mn), Insurance (US$19.4mn) and Companies (US$12.4mn) were net buyers. In terms of sectoral focus, FPI outflows were dominated by Banks (US$21mn), E&Ps (US$20mn) and Cement (US$14mn)

Sectoral moves were tethered to relief policies, with construction linked Cements (+55%MoM), Steel (+49%MoM) posting major recoveries, while mainboard OMCs (+31%MoM), E&Ps(+30%MoM) fared better on OPEC+ consensus over crude output discipline, while Banks(+11%MoM) benefitted from SBP concessions on booking bad debts

We re-iterate our stance on headline risk prevailing albeit at a slower clip, as seasonal slow-down from Ramzan relaxes risks, while investors pivot to reforms included in the upcoming budget. We advocate for a sell on strength, buy on dips approach in the immediate run while our preferred sectors include leveraged consumer plays (PAEL), Fertilizers (ENGRO) and OMCs (on circular debt/FX payment, PSO)
