Karachi: Engro Holdings Limited (ENGROH) is set to reshape its business outlook through a strategic divestment of its energy portfolio and a restructuring that will enhance its earnings potential. The company has announced that it is currently divesting its thermal assets, which is subject to regulatory approvals, as part of a broader strategy to optimize its portfolio.
According to a statement by JS Global, Engro Holdings’ recent analyst briefing revealed that the financial results were derived from the pre-merger accounts of Dawood Hercules, following a restructuring that took effect on January 1, 2025. The restructuring has notably altered the company’s stake in EFERT, now held 56% directly by ENGROH, increasing from a previous indirect holding of 22.49%.
The company anticipates that this restructuring will bolster its earnings, with EFERT playing a crucial role in driving the financial outlook. Additionally, Engro Holdings plans expansions in the tower segment, coupled with the advantage of lower interest rates, to further support its earnings growth.
The ongoing divestment process involves major components of the group’s thermal asset portfolio under Engro Energy Ltd, including Engro Powergen Qadirpur Ltd, Engro Powergen Thar Ltd, and Sindh Engro Coal Mining Co. Ltd. Furthermore, Engro Holdings is in the process of divesting Engro Eximp Agriproducts (Pvt) Ltd, signaling a significant shift in the company’s strategic focus.
