A fresh valuation report suggests the stock could <strong>almost double<\/strong> in the next year, offering a potential <strong>83% total return<\/strong> (capital gains plus dividends) by June 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is this number calculated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysts valued MUGHAL using two different methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>DCF (Discounted Cash Flow):<\/strong> A detailed method that estimates future cash flows of the company and adjusts them for today\u2019s value.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>P\/E multiple method:<\/strong> A simpler method that compares MUGHAL\u2019s future earnings with its historical average valuation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When averaged, these methods give a <strong>target price of PKR 127\/share<\/strong> vs. today\u2019s price of PKR 71.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dividend comeback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>MUGHAL is also expected to <strong>resume dividends in FY26<\/strong>, with a payout of <strong>PKR 3.0\/share<\/strong> in FY26 and <strong>PKR 4.2\/share<\/strong> in FY27. This is in addition to any capital gains, making the stock even more attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the optimism?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The company is trading <strong>cheaply<\/strong> compared to its history. Right now, MUGHAL is at a forward P\/E of <strong>5.9x (FY26)<\/strong> and <strong>4.2x (FY27)<\/strong>. For context, its 10-year average is around <strong>9.0x<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower costs, improved efficiency, and better margins from upcoming projects (like the coal power plant) could drive earnings higher.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The bottom line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysts are calling it a <strong>BUY<\/strong>. If the estimates hold, MUGHAL could reward patient investors with strong price appreciation plus dividend income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The big question for investors:<br>Do you see MUGHAL as undervalued today? Or are the risks (like debt levels, steel demand, or energy costs) too big to ignore?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source: Arif Habib Limited <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mughal Iron &#038; Steel (MUGHAL) has caught the attention of investors, and for good reason.
