The company is gradually retiring long term borrowings.

Why do we compile research firms’ forecasts? Broker research is fragmented across different houses. Compiling it in one place helps investors see consensus, identify divergence, and think independently rather than relying on a single view.
Conclusion
AGP’s investment case is built on execution and structural improvements within the business.
Strong margins, rising volumes, a favorable product mix, growing exposure to chronic therapies, expanding exports, and falling finance costs together create a clear pathway for earnings growth. These company specific factors support the case for AGP moving toward PKR 265 in the near term.
