COMPANY VALUATION

BCPG, the 70%-owned power arm of Bangchak Pcl (BCP TB, Bt39, BUY), is a renewable power firm with 419MW of contracted capacity and 30MW of potential capacity. Of a total 449MW of capacity,74% is in operation with the remainder due to start up during 2017-22F. Though we like BCPG’s solid management team and decent earnings-growth outlook, we view the stock as expensive, trading 14% above our SOTP-based DCF-derived (2018F base year) 12-month TP of Bt21/share. Also, its earnings growth looks set to slow from 31% in 2018F to 11% in 2019F and 2020F, on our forecasts, while its low PEG of 0.5x in 2018F would then rise to 1.4x in 2019F. We initiate with a SELL.

Our TP also assumes the following two items: 1) a 30% tariff increase for its geothermal projects in 2020-21F, and 2) expansion during 2021-22F of a combined 30MW (+7% from the current total capacity) mainly for its geothermal projects. We note that neither the tariff hike nor project expansion are secured yet, and they account for Bt4/share of our TP. However, one of the three existing geothermal projects, Wayang Windu ([WW] 45MW), won a 49% tariff rise in 2016, while the other Salak (65MW) and Darajat (47MW) are still negotiating tariffs. We assume those two projects will also get tariff increases.

Earnings growth outlook

20

We look for BCPG to generate earnings growth of 31% in 2018F, 11% in 2019F and 11% in 2020F. We see full-year Indonesian geothermal contribution being the key 2018F driver. The 75MW of solar projects in Japan (commercial operation due in late-2018) and the start-up of a 6MW wind project in the Philippines should be key 2019F drivers. In 2020, our 11% growth forecast is based on our assumption of successful negotiations to raise the tariff of geothermal projects in Indonesia. Without the tariff increase, 2020F earnings growth would be only 1%, on our estimates.

10

15

Upside risks to our investment case The Thai government has been promoting renewable power and we expect a revision to the Power Development Plan early next year which would see renewable capacity lifted to 40% from the current plan of 30% by 2036. However, we expect that bidding competition will be intense, but note that if the timeline were to be accelerated, this would be the key upside risk to our call. Another risk lies with the tariff increase at BCPG’s geothermal projects. As our model assumes a tariff increase of 30% in 2020, any increase above that amount would present upside risk to our thesis. In the renewables space, we prefer Energy Absolute (EA TB, Bt44, BUY), a battery-storage play trading at a 2019F PEG of 0.5x.

Better-than-expected 3Q17 profit









AMATAV reported net profit of Bt164m in 3Q17, up by 456% yy and 413% q-q. Excluding forex loss of Bt36m, AMATAV’s normalized profit would be Bt200m up by 504% y-y and 280% q-q. This is better-than-expected on the value of land transfer revenue and its blended gross margin and lower than expected interest expense.

Industrial land sales revenue in 3Q17 was at Bt334mb vs. Bt24m in 3Q16 and none in 2Q17. This was driven by industrial land transfer of 69 rai in 3Q17 vs. 5 rai in 3Q16 and none in 2Q17



9M17 normalized profit arrived at 88% of our full-year estimate. We see upside to our full-year projections as we expect AMATAV to transfer 60% of its backlog in 4Q17. We estimate AMATAV’s backlog as of ending-3Q17 at Bt450m.

AMATAV’s average gross margin rose from 52% in 3Q16 and 45% in 2Q17 to 66% in 3Q17, owing to rising industrial land sales portion which has much higher gross margin than utilities sales.



AMATAV’s pre-sales in 3Q17 was at 38 rai, making 9M17 presales at 150rai vs. management’s full-year target at 125 rai.

In 3Q17, main drivers for the strong y-y and q-q earnings growth were higher industrial land sales revenue, rising gross margin and falling SG&A/sales ratio on larger sales base.

Good 3Q17 results, in line with consensus



▪ ▪



AP reported good 3Q17 normalized profit of Bt617m, up 35% y-y and 12% q-q, in line with consensus but 6% above our estimate on better-than-expected gross margin on property sales.

Equity income turned from loss in 3Q16 to Bt43m in 3Q17 on higher sales recognition from JV condos of Bt1bn in this quarter.



With a Bt20m gain from sale of investment in AP ME4 and AP ME5 to JV partner, 3Q17 net profit was Bt637m, up 39% y-y and 4% q-q.

Real estate sales revenues grew by 10% y-y but flat q-q at Bt4.6bn.



Blended gross margin improved y-y and q-q to 36.6% driven by 1) a rise in management and sales fees collected from JV projects of Bt160m vs Bt73m in 2Q17, and 2) rising gross margin on property to 33.8% in 3Q17 vs 31.8% in 3Q16 and 33.1% in 2Q17. Gross margin on low-rise houses beats its 30% guidance to 34.2%.

9M17 net profit came to 64% of our full-year forecast. 4Q17F will be the best quarter of this year given backlog on hand, we maintain our earnings. Note that 10M17 presales already reach Bt30.1bn, at 116% of the company’s full-year target. Since its Bt9bn Life AsokeRama 9 is to be launched this month, there is chance of this year’s presales beating our Bt34.9bn assumption for 2017F.

Bangkok Dusit Medical (BDMS TB) - HOLD, Price Bt21, TP Bt20

3Q17 earnings were better than expected



▪ ▪



BDMS reported norm profit of Bt2.4bn, up 11% y-y and 51% q-q. This was slightly better than ours and the street’s earnings forecast due to its lower-than-expected cost of goods sold to sales and SG&A to sales expense. Key earnings drivers were improving revenue and cost control.



Revenue was up 7% y-y and 15% q-q to Bt18.6bn in 3Q17. Its revenue growth was driven by rising number of Thai and international patients, increase in price intensity, an opening of Paolo Kaset Hospital and Bangkok Hospital Surat since January and June 2017. Revenue from Thai patients grew 6% y-y and international patient grew by 8% y-y. Key drivers were mainly from Middle East, Chinese and Australian patients.

With rising revenue and the company’s cost control efficiency, this caused its gross margin expanding to 32.3% in 3Q17 up from 31.1% in 3Q16 and 29.1% in 2Q17. SG&A to sales also declined to 20.5% in 3Q17 from 20.8% in 3Q16 and 22.0% in 2Q17. 9M17 norm profit accounted for 77% of our full-year earnings forecast. We maintain our earnings forecast and TP. Though we expect BDMS’s improving earnings growth momentum still continue in 4Q17F but with 38x trading PE vs. 10% EPS growth in 2018F, its valuation is fully value in our view. We maintain HOLD.

COL Public Co Ltd (COL TB) - SELL, Price Bt78.50, TP Bt53.50

Results Comment

3Q17 earnings were below our expectation







COL reported strong core profit in 3Q17 but it was below ours and the market’s expectation. Its net profit was Bt131m in 3Q17, up 46% y-y and 76% q-q. The strong earnings resulted from no loss contribution from its retail online business after COL exited from the business on 1 August 2017. Meanwhile, the company weaker-than-expected earnings resulted from its weaker-than-expected B2S’s sales and other income and higher-than-expected SG&A to sales expense.

9M17 norm earnings accounted for 59% of our full-year earnings forecast. We expect COL’s earnings to be stronger in 4Q17 due to improving operation of its OfficeMate and B2S businesses and the exit from its loss-making retail online business. However, we see COL share price already reflected that positive news. We maintain SELL.

It two core businesses, OfficeMate’s and B2S’s operation in 3Q17 was slightly improved. OfficeMate’s revenue rose by 8% y-y to Bt1.8bn. B2S’s revenue grew by 2% y-y to Bt987m. The company’s gross margin also improved, supported by rising sales mix in high-margin house brand products. (consolidated)

3Q17 results in line



▪ ▪

Summary: Good results driven by increased power generation as EA’s 126MW wind power project operated in full quarter and also in the windy season. 4Q17 results would be better as higher-tariff solar power will enjoy high radiation period in 4Q. With another 260MW of wind power to COD in 4Q18, we see this to further boost earnings in 2018-19. In addition, Its gigantic energy storage plants to bring in new S-curve earning in the long term. BUY. EA’s 3Q17 net earnings came in at Bt976m. Excluding forex gain, its norm earnings would be Bt970m, up 26% y-y and 1% q-q. The results were in line with the consensus estimates.

The good results y-y were driven by the 126MW Had Kanhan wind power projects which started operation in late 2Q17. Also, wind speed 3Q17 was quite strong. Meanwhile its original business was dragged by bio-diesel due to declined sales volume and increased feedstock cost. However, the original business normally contributes profit less than 5% of total profit. (consolidated)

The flat result q-q was due to low solar radiation in 3Q which is rainy season. EBITDA margin rose to 56% vs 49% in 3Q16 and 54% in 2Q17. SG&A and interest expense still kept rising strong mainly due to expenses related to its new business plans – energy storage plant and downstream products which wasn’t capitalized, apart from Had Kanhan project. For example, the charging station and etc. 9M17 norm earnings made up 71% of our full year estimate. We expect EA to make better earnings in 4Q17 given the season changing to dry season thus we expect more power generation from its solar power plants which have adder of Bt8.0/kWh on top of its normal base tariff (vs Bt3.50/kWh for wind power.

3Q17 a strong beat





ESSO reports 3Q17 net profit of Bt3.1bn (EPS Bt0.89/sh) compared to reported losses in 3Q16 and 2Q17 (both had inventory losses and maintenance shutdowns). Stripping out impacts of inventory gain, we estimate normalized net profit to be Bt2.0-2.2bn. Both reported and normalized earnings are higher than our expectation even after taking into account the stronger-than-expected refining margin environment. We believe a combination of strong earnings outlook and improved balance sheet strength pave ways for a potential dividend payout after 4Q17F results are reported (early 2018F). Maintain BUY, TP Bt17

market GRM to be in the range of $8.8-9.3/bbl which compares favorably to Singapore GRM of $8.3/bbl. We think the key to upside surprise was the increased yields of light and middle distillates as the company took advantage of attractive pricing for light sweet crude.





Downstream: Crude intake reached 146kbd which was at the high end of historical range and a marked improvement from 108kbd in 3Q16 and 114kbd in 2Q17 (both quarters impacted by maintenance shutdowns). Reported GRM was $11.3/bbl. Stripping out inventory gain of about $2.5-3/bbl, we estimate

Balance Sheet

Non-operating items: We estimate inventory gain to be $2.53.0/bbl of crude intake which equate to pre-tax gain of Bt1.11.3bn (after-tax gain of Bt0.9-1.1bn).



(consolidated)

Incom e Statem ent

Petrochemical: Loss from petrochemical narrowed y-y and qq to Bt282m; again this contributed to the positive surprise after a miss in 2Q17. We believe this was due to both improved PXMX spread q-q and higher volume y-y (production volume was 67k tons in 3Q17 vs 44k tons in 3Q16).

Balance sheets continue to strengthen as net D/E declined to 0.6x at end-3Q17 from nearly 0.9x at end-2Q17. Retained earnings have also turned positive for the first time since 4Q13.

Weak 3Q17 earnings, below our expectation



▪ ▪



JAS reported normalized profit of Bt431m in 3Q17, down 21% y-y and 7% q-q. This was below our earnings estimates due to weaker-than-expected gross margin and higher-than-expected interest expenses. Including extra gain (loss), it reported net profit of Bt532m, down 45% y-y and 4% q-q. JAS’s weak earnings resulted from rising depreciation costs from more aggressive expansion of its backbone and last-mile networks and rising lease expenses.



Broadband subscribers increased around 0.09m in 3Q17, bringing the total to 2.7m subs at end-3Q17, up from 2.4m subs at end-2016 and 2.6m subs at end-2Q17.

9M17 earnings accounted for 47% of our full-year earnings forecast. Though we expect JAS’s new subscribers to increase in the following quarters, rising depreciation costs and operating expenses still put pressure on its earnings growth. Together with increasing competition from newcomers in the broadband internet market in the coming years, we maintain our SELL recommendation on JAS. The company announced interim dividend payment of Bt0.15/share. The XD date is 23 November 2017 and the payment date is 8 December 2017.

Softened 3Q17 results as we’d expected

▪ ▪ ▪ ▪



MAJOR reported softened norm profit as we had expected. The high-margin F&B and advertising were key drivers amidst the weak ticket sales,. MAJOR reported 3Q17 norm profit of Bt165m, down 10% y-y and 61% q-q (due to the seasonality affect).



3Q17 ticket sales of Bt1.14bn (52% of total revenues and 20% of gross profit) were flat y-y and down 31% q-q. This was depends on the numbers of moviegoers.

Despite those three key businesses (ticket sales, F&B and advertising) had improved y-y, MAJOR had a loss from its movie content in 3Q17. As a result, its gross margin lowered to 32.4% vs. 36.6% in 3Q16.



3Q17 concession (F&B) sales of Bt410m (19% of total revenues and 37% of gross profit) up 23% y-y, but down 25% q-q. Its portion of concession revenue to ticket sales increased to 36% in 3Q17 vs. 33.5% in 2Q17 and 29.6% in 3Q16, thanks to its marketing and campaign.

Incom e Statem ent

3Q17 advertising revenues of Bt345m (16% of total revenues and 42% of gross profit) decreased 5% y-y and 1% q-q. The lower was due to the contract expiry of one namingsponsorship.

In-line 3Q17 results



▪ ▪



As expected, 3Q17 net profit growth slowed down to single digit at 3% y-y to Bt1,447m. There is nothing wrong with its good operations but a drag is rising SG&A from overseas expansion.

SG&A/total revenues rose to 7.9%, from 7.3% in 3Q16 on rising expenses from overseas expansion with the first branch to be launched in Cambodia in December this year.



Total revenues increased by 9% y-y from 2.2% same-store sales growth, new store sales and sales from Indoguna acquired since January this year.

9M17 net profit comprised 70% of our full-year earnings forecast.



We maintain our projection and our SELL call to Bt30 TP.

Gross margin on merchandise sales improved to 10.06%, up from 9.72% in 3Q16 and 9.48% in 2Q17 on higher sales mix of high-margin products.

Pylon Public Co Ltd (PYLON TB) - HOLD, Price Bt14.0, TP Bt12.5

Results Comment

Saksid Phadthananarak | Email: [email protected] Weaker-than-expected 3Q17 results







PYLON reported normalized earnings of Bt5m in 3Q17, down 89% y-y and 70% q-q. This was lower than what we had expected. The significant fall in earnings year on year and quarter on quarter was due to a drop in revenues given its low backlog value in 3Q17 and a plunge in gross margin from lower utilization rate given its low backlog value.

PYLON’s revenues fell by 63% y-y in 3Q17 on lower revenue recognition given its low backlog value in 3Q17. Given a lower utilization rate, its gross margin fell to 16.2% in 3Q17 from 23% in 3Q16.



Key risk: Delays to the government’s infrastructure projects and private construction projects could impact our new work value assumptions. Delays could also hurt PYLON’s gross margin given its high operating leverage.

Even though 9M17 results made up 59% of our full-year forecasts, we expect its earnings to turn around in 4Q17 as its backlog value already improved to Bt552m as of 11 September 2017 from Bt391m in 2Q17 and Bt78m in 1Q17. We believe that PYLON will be one of the biggest beneficiaries from the government’s infrastructure investment cycle but we currently have a HOLD rating on PYLON as its share price now trades close to our fair value.

Rajthanee Hospital (RJH TB) - BUY, Price Bt28.0, TP Bt31.5

Results Comment

Siriporn Arunothai | Email: [email protected]

Very strong 3Q17 results, above expectation







RJH reported very strong net profit at Bt72m in 3Q17, up 47% y-y and 63% q-q. This was pretty much above ours and the street’s earnings forecasts due to its higher-than-expected revenue and margin. Strong earnings growth was driven by improving revenue from all kinds of patients (cash, Social Security (SS) Scheme and Universal Coverage Scheme) in main campus and improving operation of Rajthanee Rojana Hospital (RRH). Improving revenue also boosted its operating margin to improve from 18.4% in 3Q16 and 16.8% in 2Q17 to 22.7% in 3Q17.

9M17 earnings accounted for 85% of our full-year earnings forecast. We see its strong earnings growth to continue in 4Q17F due to rising number of cash patients and an increase in reimbursement rate under SS scheme from 1 July 2017. RJH is still our top sector pick BUY.

Robinson Pcl (ROBINS TB) - BUY, Price Bt72.25, TP Bt77.00

Results Comment

Phannarai Tiyapittayarut | Email: [email protected]

Good 3Q17 results, in line

▪ ▪





ROBINS reported good 3Q17 net profit as expected, up 20% y-y and 2% q-q to Bt611m, slightly beats our forecast of 18% growth y-y. Key driver was a 17% increase in rental income due to rental revenues from two new lifestyle malls at Lopburi and Petchburi, higher average occupancy rate of 99% (up y-y and q-q from 98%) and rate increase at renovated malls in Saraburi and Ratchaburi. At present, ROBINS has 19 lifestyle malls.

Gross margin fell by 14bp y-y to 24.2%, in line with our forecast as it is in product transition period and was much better than a decline by 41bp y-y in 2Q17. We expect gross margin expansion to resume in 4Q17F.

▪ ▪

9M17 net profit accounted for 71% of our full-year forecast. We maintain our earnings projection and our BUY call to Bt77 TP.

Sales revenues were up 3% y-y and 6% q-q from new store sales. Same-store sales were almost flat at -0.1% (improved significantly from -4.7% in 2Q17), driven by good SSSG in September.

SAPPE Pcl (SAPPE TB) - SELL, Price Bt31.75, TP Bt22.50

Results Comment

Rata Limsuthiwanpoom | Email: [email protected]

Good 3Q17 in-line







SAPPE reported good, in-line 3Q17 net profit of Bt112m, rising by 19% y-y but falling by 32% q-q. Excluding FX gain, normalized profit would have been Bt108m, rising by 18% y-y but falling by 33% q-q.



Main driver for y-y earnings growth were 1) rising revenue driven by export sales (65% of sales); 2) falling SG&A/sales given larger sales base; 3) equity income from All Coco turned to profit of Bt3m in 3Q17 vs. –Bt0.3m in 2Q17. SAPPE purchased All Coco stake in 4Q16.

3Q17

Meanwhile, falling earnings q-q was due to falling revenue on seasonality effect and falling gross profit margin, while SG&A/sales rose. Please note 2Q17 was a high revenue base given normally high season for exports. We expect SAPPE’s earnings growth in 4Q17 to continue to fall q-q given seasonality effect, but it should grow y-y as 4Q16 had mourning impact. Maintain SELL for expensive valuation.

Norm loss 3Q17 results



▪ ▪



STA reported normalized loss of Bt228m vs. a norm loss of Bt2.1bn in 2Q17 vs. a norm loss of Bt230m in 3Q16. The loss making was mainly due to its operational pressure from SICOM price volatility and an unusual gap between SICOM and raw material markets.

Revenue from technically specified rubber (TSR) as its core product (65% of total revenue) decreased by 15% y-y, due mainly to lower selling volumes.



Global rubber price remains in a pressure and we don't see clear catalysts. We thus do not expect positive momentum to STA share price as it highly moves along the global rubber price.

Noted that STA recorded gain from FX, gain from asset revaluation and other gains combined at Bt394m in 3Q17.



Total sales were at Bt18.2bn in 3Q17, down 6% y-y and 20% q-q. The y-y decline was mainly due to a lower selling volume while the q-q decline was mainly due to a lower selling price.

Results Comment

Saksid Phadthananarak | Email: [email protected] Slightly weaker-than-expected 3Q17 results







STEC reported normalized earnings of Bt217m in 3Q17, down 7% y-y and 11% q-q. This was slightly lower than what we had expected. A fall in earnings year on year was due to still low revenue recognition from its record-high backlog value while the fall in earnings quarter on quarter was due to lower gross margin. 9M17 results made up 67% of our full-year earnings forecast.



We still expect STEC to report higher earnings in 4Q17 due to higher revenue recognition from its record-high backlog value. We expect STEC’s backlog value of Bt102bn at end 3Q17. Besides expected strong earnings growth from its record-high backlog value in 2018 onward, we like STEC for its solid financial status with a net cash position and we expect it to be one of the biggest beneficiaries from the government’s massive infrastructure investment. We reiterate a BUY call on STEC.

Its gross margin fell to 8% in 3Q17 from 8.5% in 2Q17. We believe this was due to a higher proportion of revenue recognition from the zero-margin new parliament building project.



(consolidated)

Incom e Statem ent Yr-end Dec (Bt m ) Revenue

STEC’s revenues fell by 4% y-y in 3Q17 despite its record-high backlog value. This may be due to the impact of the rainy seasons and new construction projects being yet to start.

Key risks: Fluctuations in building material prices present a major risk to our earnings projections. Delays of infrastructure projects are another concern.

3Q17, a new record-high quarter









SUSCO reported normalized profit of Bt104m in 3Q17, up 94% y-y and 70% q-q, a new record-high quarterly profit for the company. Better-than-expected profit was due to a strong volume growth in spite of a low-season period for oil demands, and a good cost control. Total sale volume of 290m liters grew by 15% y-y and 3% q-q. Strong momentum of y-y growth continues after -1% growth in 1Q17 and 6% in 2Q17, while the q-q growth was a big surprise since 3Q is normally the low season of oil demands.

The margin improved significantly to Bt1.18/liter in 3Q17, from Bt1.05 in 2Q17 and Bt1.08 in 3Q16, which we believe was due to a high gasoline’s marketing margin, and higher portion of export volume. A good cost control resulted as lower SG&A expense to sale volume of Bt0.99/liter in 3Q17, from Bt1.05 in 2Q17 and Bt1.08 in 3Q16.



Non-oil businesses income dropped 4% from 3Q16 due to lower LPG stations management fee and dividend income.



The results confirm our view of stronger oil demand in 2H17F from a flat growth y-y in 1H17. Together with a low-base effect in 4Q16, we expect strong earnings growth momentum continues for SUSCO. BUY.

Key driver was the export volume, up 44% y-y, while growths of domestic and jet fuel volumes outpaced the industry (9% vs. 4%, and 4% vs. 3% respectively).

Weak 3Q17 results on low gross margin









SVI reported normalized profit (excluded Bt7m FX gain) of Bt71m in 3Q17, down 61% y-y and 43% q-q, missed our and consensus’ expectations. Weak result was due to a low gross margin, impacted by high raw material costs and strong baht. We see a downside risk to our numbers since 9M17’s normalized profits were only 56% of our full-year forecast.



Total US$ revenue of US$95m, up 17% y-y and 4%, was inline with our expectations. Strong revenue growth was driven by the started mass productions of orders from new customers secured during 1H17.



Gross margin contracted to 5.8% in 3Q17, from 8.7% in 2Q17 and 9.5% in 3Q16. Decreased margin was from high raw material costs during a shortage environment due to a boom of semiconductor industry, and strong baht. (consolidated)

Incom e Statem ent Yr-end Dec (Bt m ) Revenue

Increase of SG&A by 19% y-y was due to a re-classification of expenses from its European businesses. However, SG&A to sales ratio decreased to 4.9% in 3Q17 from 5.1% in 2Q17. Inventory remained high at Bt2.7bn in 3Q17 since the company was not able to deliver fully its backlog orders due to the shortage of the raw materials. The company expected the shortage of raw materials to persist until early 1Q18F. Thus, we believe the gross margin might remain lower than usual. This would continue to pressure the earnings performance despite the sales growth is in a decent level. We maintain our SELL call.

Results Comment

Better-than-expected 3Q17



▪ ▪



WHA reported net profit of Bt506m in 3Q17, rising by 1088% yy but falling by 48% q-q. This is higher than we expected on lower-than-expected interest expense and Bt209 income from right of way charged in industrial estate. Going forward, we expect 4Q17 to be the best quarter of the year given its normal asset sales to WHART. 9M17 profit accounted for 63% of our full-year forecast. With 3Q17 result beat our estimation and 4Q17 gain on asset sales likely better than our current forecast, we see potential upside on our earnings forecast this year.

Income tax

In 3Q17, main drivers for strong growth y-y were 1) falling interest expense in 3Q17 by 35% y-y to Bt406m as a result of asset sales deleveraging in 4Q16 and 2Q17; 2) rising equity income by 156% y-y to Bt563m, driven by the completion of COD of 4 SPPs since 4Q16 and rising availability payment from GHECCO-One; 3) Bt209 income from right of way charged in industrial estate. Meanwhile, main dragger for falling q-q earnings in 3Q17 were falling industrial land transfer revenue, as there was big-lot land transfer last quarter. WHA announced to pay an interim dividend of Bt0.0488/share for the operation period of 9M17. XD and payment date on 22 Nov and 8 Dec 2017.

WHA Utilities & Power (WHAUP TB) - BUY, Price Bt7.60, TP Bt7.00

Results Comment

Supanna Suwankird | Email: [email protected]

3Q17 superb results and better than expected









Summary: WHAUP‘s net profit beats the market. Both power and water businesses saw improvement especially the power one. Profit contributed from its power investments in GLOW’s group surged as GHECO-1’s resumed operation from maintenance. Its other power associate had had new capacities on stream. Looking forward, 4Q17-2018 should continue strong given the associate has more capacities lining up. BUY.



WHAUP’s 3Q17 net earnings came in at Bt570m. Net-off the forex impact in the consolidation and also in the associates’ profit sharing, its norm earnings would be Bt450m, up 143% yy but down 9% q-q. The results beat the consensus by far.

(consolidated)

Incom e Statem ent

Its 35% owned GLOW had strong operation improvement due mainly to GHECO1 plant resumed operation from maintenance shut down. Its 25% owned Bgrim Power 120MW also reported good performance.



The utilities business which shown under the consolidation account had sales increased 9% y-y driven by a 3% rise in ASP and 6% volume.

Yr-end Dec (Bt m ) Revenue

Share of profit from investment in associates reported at Bt554m. If excluding Bt119m forex gain, the operating profit contribution from the power associates would be Bt434m, a jump of 109% y-y.

Recommendation Structure: Recommendations are based on absolute upside or downside, which is the difference between the target price and the current market price. If the upside is 10% or more, the recommendation is BUY. If the downside is 10% or more, the recommendation is SELL. For stocks where the upside or downside is less than 10%, the recommendation is HOLD. Unless otherwise specified, these recommendations are set with a 12-month horizon. Thus, it is possible that future price volatility may cause a temporary mismatch between upside/downside for a stock based on the market price and the formal recommendation. For sectors, we look at two areas, ie, the sector outlook and the sector weighting. For the sector outlook, an arrow pointing up, or the word “Positive”, is used when we see the industry trend improving. An arrow pointing down, or the word “Negative”, is used when we see the industry trend deteriorating. A double-tipped horizontal arrow, or the word “Unchanged”, is used when the industry trend does not look as if it will alter. The industry trend view is our top-down perspective on the industry rather than a bottom-up interpretation from the stocks we cover. An “Overweight” sector weighting is used when we have BUYs on majority of the stocks under our coverage by market cap. “Underweight” is used when we have SELLs on majority of the stocks we cover by market cap. “Neutral” is used when there are relatively equal weightings of BUYs and SELLs.
