Should I Put My Networth In Millay Tractor

Should I Put My Networth In Millay Tractor

Thinking of going all-in on Millat Tractors / MTL, strategy critique ki darkhawast

My investment nazariya is:

Strong dividend history: personally dividends mujhe aik stable anchor Lagta hai as a gateway to get me to invest , MTL has historically paid attractive cash dividends, and in some years has also issued bonus shares. So from an income/total-return perspective, it has been a rewarding stock for long-term holders. Check SS for div yield with bonus dividend effect.

Long-term multibagger profile: Over the last 15–20 years, MTL appears to have compounded very well and has outperformed the broader market over long periods, especially when dividends and bonus shares are included.

New e-bike vertical***: MTL’s move into e-bikes is what makes the stock especially interesting to me. Pakistan has a huge motorcycle-dependent population, especially for commuting, delivery, ride-hailing, and last-mile transport.

Petrol price pressure*: The lower/middle-income bike user is very price sensitive, and rising petrol prices make e-bikes more attractive from a running-cost perspective.

- Possible adoption wave: I feel e-bike adoption in Pakistan could potentially follow a similar pattern to solar adoption, where high energy/fuel costs pushed people toward alternatives faster than expected.

Ride-hailing and delivery market: Careem, Bykea, Foodpanda, courier services, and informal delivery riders all depend heavily on bikes. If e-bikes become economically viable at scale, MTL could get exposure to a major structural shift.

Extending the profitability: If the e-bike vertical scales successfully, it could potentially add a new growth engine beyond tractors and support future EPS and stock price growth.

Based on the above im willing to go all in.

The following questions are arising in my head:

  1. MTL’s historical performance as a multi baggar, could it provide similar and expanded returns in the future for a long term investment horizon

  2. Is the e-bike opportunity meaningful enough to materially move MTL’s earnings, or is it too early/specluative?

Would appreciate a balanced view from anyone who has studied MTL, the tractor sector, or Pakistan’s e-bike market.

Thanks and regards, 14337.

Negatives About buying SLM at Cap Today

Hi, I spent my weekend going deep into the prospectus and the commentary around the SLM IPO, having talked to analysts on the sell side of the issue I analysed various aspects of the IPO, having the tip that this was 100% going to get oversubscribed, I felt the following concerns about the valuations and key events & conditions surrounding the company.

1: SLM has PKR 11.28bn in long-term loan exposure. Further hikes in interest rates would pressure earnings, as seen by the projected decline in interest coverage from 10.2x (FY26E) to 8.9x (FY27F). My assessment is that interest rates will go up as cost push inflation (which SBP always assumes as economy heating up) will drive interest rates up.

2: The company is highly dependent on a small group of buyers; a single anchor export customer accounted for 52% of export revenue in FY25. Concentration risk is high, if the contract term is long and good guarantees in place then we might forgo this point.

3: Since SLM is a manufacturer, SLM is vulnerable to rising global rubber prices and I see imminent PKR depreciation, which could effectively increase the cost of sales and thin out profit margins.

  1. At the cap price, SGF’s 17.4% stake in SLM is worth PKR 27bn, which is 97% of SGF's total market capitalization. This means investors buying SGF get the SLM exposure while paying almost nothing for SGF's own footwear export business. Which is a weird mispricing that is not uncommon when there's price discovery but will rationalize in the future - downside price risk.

5: SLM was subscribed at 12.2x P/E, way above the trailing P/E of 7.7x. Much higher P/E than other relevant companies like PTL (8.1x), SRVI (8.6x).

Price Check and Rationale for Price

I asked showroom Elantra HEV was 105 lacs on road , how is this car available on market places for less than 90 Lacs? Even though it has the best fuel average out of all cars in Pakistan, Hyundai is a reliable brand globally. What should I know about this car before buying?

Thank you in advance petrol heads.
