KARACHI: Interloop Ltd (ILP), a key player in the textile manufacturing sector, is facing a recalibration of its investment outlook as it navigates a series of internal and external challenges. JS Global has retained a Buy rating on the company’s stock but adjusted the target price downward to Rs87. The stock had previously demonstrated a 55% return from its low in May 2025, following a period of underperformance since June 2024.
The challenges faced by ILP have been multifaceted, with the company’s management adopting a proactive strategy to address external market pressures. Efforts to diversify product offerings and expand market presence have been central to these strategies. Notably, ILP has sought to strengthen its position in both the United States and Europe, highlighted by the acquisition of Bonnie Doon’s European operations. Additionally, the company has focused on cost efficiency through scaling up renewable energy initiatives.
Despite these efforts, JS Global has revised its financial estimates for ILP, reducing projections by 53% for FY26E and 36% for FY27E. This adjustment reflects the anticipated impact of weaker margins due to global demand fluctuations and pricing challenges following tariffs imposed during the Trump administration. Furthermore, an expected one-year delay in achieving break-even for ILP’s new apparel plant and limited government policy support have contributed to the revised outlook.
The company’s strategic initiatives and market adaptations continue to be monitored closely by investors and analysts as ILP seeks to navigate the evolving landscape of the global textile industry.
