The market expects accretion in revenue on the back of higher dispatches due to rise in both local sales and exports.
However, gross margin is estimated to go down due to a surge in coal price and PKR depreciation.
The decline in earnings can be accredited to margin abrasion on account of higher production cost and rise in finance cost.
