Finance Cost to fall 16% QoQ; up 32% YoY
Finance cost for HUBC will likely fall by 16% QoQ, as we expect the company to have relied more on supplier payables to fund Wapda receivables. However, finance cost shall still be 32% higher on YoY basis. Net finance cost (finance cost less penal markup income) will likely trim by PKR0.1/share over the previous quarter owing to higher amount of shareholder funds funding overdue receivables. FY10 final dividend (PKR2.9bn) was paid by HUBC on October 7, 2010.

While delay in commencement of Narowal cause some concerns (due to absence of any guidance from the company for commencement date), we maintain our liking for the scrip. HUBC currently offers an upside of 41% to our DDM based June’11 PT of PKR48/share comprising PKR46/share from core operations and PKR2/share from Narowal. BUY!
