With annual revenues crossing PKR 172 billion, Gul Ahmed Textile Mills has reinforced its position as one of Pakistan's most successful integrated textile conglomerates. Yet, the market seems to be asleep at the wheel—GATM trades at a P/E ratio of just ~3, far below its sector average.
Despite macroeconomic headwinds, GATM recorded an EPS of PKR 6.57 and a net profit of over PKR 4.1 billion. The company is rapidly scaling its renewable energy capabilities with a 17.1 MW solar power project, slashing costs and reinforcing its ESG leadership.
More excitingly, recent disclosures point to major new international orders, further cementing its export dominance. According to industry insiders and market analysts, the stock is trading nearly 10x below its fair value, with a realistic price target between PKR 80-100, given its book value, earnings trajectory, and global demand outlook.
Other PSX Undervalued Growth Stars
Secure Logistics Group (SLG)
The only listed logistics and supply chain tech company on the PSX, SLG is leading a digital revolution in the freight and 4PL logistics sector. With its merger with Trax Online Pvt Ltd and contracts with global players like Maersk, SLG is poised to become the Amazon of logistics in Pakistan. Its IPO was oversubscribed, yet the stock trades at a steep discount.
Al-Tahur Limited (ALTH)
The force behind Premá milk, Al-Tahur is one of Pakistan's most trusted dairy companies. With a modern supply chain and rising urban demand for packaged dairy, the company's fundamentals remain strong, while its share price still reflects pandemic-era lows. A turnaround is imminent.
Pakistan International Bulk Terminal (PIBTL)
Handling Pakistan’s dry bulk imports, PIBTL has bounced back from a temporary shutdown in late 2024 and reported a PKR 1.7 billion profit in FY24. With rising import volumes and stable operations, the company is trading well below replacement cost, offering huge re-rating potential.
Liven (Note: Likely a newer entrant – pending detailed disclosures)
Liven is rumored to be developing clean energy and smart grid infrastructure. As Pakistan transitions towards renewable energy, early positioning in such innovative firms can yield exponential returns.
Final Word
Gul Ahmed and its peers represent a new wave of Pakistani corporate excellence—solid revenues, aggressive innovation, and untapped value. Pakistan’s bull run is quietly forming. Smart capital will move early.
