Tighten your seatbelts

We believe that the market has priced in a V-shaped recovery, while a
U-shaped one is more likely. The economy is slowing down and more
earnings cuts are likely. Valuations are not cheap given the 20% rise
YTD. A stronger US$ and higher overseas rates could trigger outflows.

Highlighted Companies
Bangkok Dusit Medical (BGH)
A prime beneficiary of the ASEAN Economic
Community (AEC), as patients from neighbouring
countries are able to cross borders more easily to
seek medical treatment in Thailand, thanks to its
growing hospital network nationwide.
Gunkul Engineering (GUNKUL)
Gunkul has recurring income from two large 60mw
wind farm projects in 2015-16 for both engineering,
procurement
and
construction
(EPC)
and
operations. This would account for an estimated
80% of its earnings by 2017. Its Myanmar exposure
provides more earnings upside.
Ratchaburi Electricity (RATCH)
Its solid earnings growth of over 30% in 2014-2016,
will stem from additional capacity of 750MW (13%)
for its 40%-owned Hongsa coal-fired power plant in
2015-16.
Thaicom (THCOM)
New customer contracts and satellite projects will
increase the upside potential to our earnings
forecasts, which are already 11% higher than
consensus in 2014 and 18% higher in 2015.

We remain cautious on the market

with an unchanged end-CY15 index
target of 1,610, based on 12.1x CY16
P/E (5-year mean). Our regional
strategist, Mr Jason Todd, remains
Underweight on Thailand. We prefer
defensive
counters
(healthcare,
alternative energy and utilities) and
sectors that are less exposed to
domestic demand (hotels). Our top
picks are AOT, BGH, GUNKUL, KCE,
MINT, RATCH and THCOM.
Laying the foundation

The government plans to introduce
inheritance tax and raise value-added
tax by 1% pt to 8% in Oct 15. The
energy reform programme is likely to
raise retail NGV prices by about 16%
over the next couple of quarters.
If the government were to bring the
excise tax on diesel to be on par with
that for other types of gasoline, diesel
price should rise by 17%. Fewer farm
subsidies are likely to cap the rebound
in
consumption
in
upcountry.
Although these structural changes are
good for the long term, we believe that
the adjustment process will be painful
and the market has not factored this

in yet. Therefore, near-term risks are
high.
Themes: focus on defensive

and tourism
We believe that the weak economy
will continue to weigh on domestic
demand. Therefore, we focus on
defensive sectors such as healthcare,
which also benefits from medical
tourism and utilities. They are less
sensitive to a slow domestic recovery.
Moreover, we believe that tourism will
see strong rebound not only from
higher tourist arrivals, but also from
higher margins as occupancies
approach optimum levels.
Infrastructure a long shot

The
progress
on
government
infrastructure projects has been
disappointing. However, it seems to
be the only hope for 2015 if the
government can really speed up its
infrastructure plans. We believe that
contractor stocks have already priced
in more government projects.

Tighten your seatbelts

The conflict started when the Yingluck government had amended the Amnesty
Bill in its second reading in Oct 2013 to allow former prime minister Thaksin
and protest leaders, among other individuals, to gain amnesty. Protestors
thought that the bill would allow him to get back his seized assets of THB46bn.
The government was late in responding to the protests.
Even though the government later dissolved the House, the rallies still
continued. The government then set the date for the general election on 2 Feb
2014, but the Democrat Party boycotted the election. Voting was disrupted in
many constituencies, and the election was later nullified by the Constitutional
Court on the grounds that the Election Commission (EC) had failed to hold
polls across the entire country on the same day, since the eligible voters in 28
constituencies failed to cast their ballots due to disruptions by anti-government
protesters. The Election Commission and caretaker government were forced to
set a new election date.
The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) resolved in early May 2014
to bring impeachment proceedings against Yingluck over the rice-pledging
scheme. Thus, she was compelled to step down from being the caretaker
premier, with Mr Niwatthamrong Boonsongpaisan becoming an acting
caretaker prime minister.

1. REVIEW
SOURCE: CIMB
1.2 Then came the May 2014 coup

After almost seven months of political deadlock between the anti-government
Peoples Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), led by former Democrat
Partys secretary general Mr Suthep Thaugsuban, and the Yingluck government;
the military, led by the then-army chief General Prayuth Chan-o-cha, staged a
December 12, 2014
coup on 22 May 2014. This was Thailands 12th coup after the country turned
into a constitution monarchy in 1932.
The coup came as no surprise to us, as we believe that Mr Suthep had escalated
the crisis, including setting up roadblocks, organising the Bangkok Shutdown in
early Jan 2014, and blocking constituencies in many provinces in the South so
that candidates could not register their applications, etc., in order to trigger a
military intervention.
But we were surprised that the Yingluck government did not see it coming,
despite the fact that the military announced martial law on 20 May without
informing the government in advance and that it refused to withdraw soldiers
and their shelters even though the situation was calmer in early 2Q14.
Both red shirt leaders and PDRC leaders walked into a trap, and they were
locked up in a military barrack following two days of failed negotiations to
settle their differences, after which the army chief declared a military coup. It
was an easy coup on the part of the military, as leaders of both sides were
locked up and their supporters could not do much without their leaders.
Having learnt from the past coups, especially the one in 2006, the military this
time round used stronger arm tactics. It has tried to disperse any political
protests before ramping up the momentum. And even more than six months
after the coup, the military still refused to lift martial law, despite the fact that
there were few protests on the street. However, the curfew was lifted
throughout the country on 13 Jun, about one month after the coup.
Figure 4: Khon Kean University students were arrested when holding out three
fingers as a sign of protest against the military coup in front of Prime Minister
Prayuth while he was giving a speech in Khon Kean province. The students were
later released

1.3 Long honeymoon period

As the political crisis prior to the coup lasted longer than prior deadlocks, many
Thais (generally from middle- and high-income segments) welcomed the coup
as they thought that the coup would end the deadlock and allow the country to
move forward. And thanks to the use of stronger arm tactics, the political
situation after the coup has been calm. Therefore, the market has been positive
on the political development and jumped 13% after the coup.
Businesspeople were also positive as the political turmoil has created too much
trouble for businesses over the past few years. Thus, they were happy that these
politicians would have to lie low over the next couple of years.

December 12, 2014
With the surge in economic activities in early 3Q14, many people thought that
the economy had undergone a V-shaped recovery following a more stable
political environment. They have forgotten that many people withheld their
spending during the 7-month political stalemate. Thus, when political situation
remained calm after the coup, many Thais started to spend money and this
caused a big jump in economic activities. However, we believe that once this
pent-up demand is exhausted, economic activities will cool down again. And
the 3Q14 GDP growth of only 0.6% yoy confirmed our belief.

2. Themes for Thai market in 2015

2.1 No election in 2015 means less noise in 1H15, but
It is unlikely that a general election can take place in 2015, as a new
constitution is not drafted yet and it may need to go through a referendum,
which could take some time. Moreover, it is likely that the reform process will
take a longer time than originally thought.
The fact that Thailand is highly unlikely to have an election in 2015 may be
taken positively by the market, as politics have created many negative noises
over the past decade. However, we believe that the market expectation has
already run too high and it should already have given the government the
benefit of the doubt in managing the economy. Therefore, we believe that the
disappointment on the governments economic management is more likely to
outweigh the positives arising from the calm political climate. And with more
disappointments on the economic front, we believe that the resistance against
the military government will be stronger and those who had earlier supported
the coup may start changing their minds.
And since a general election is not likely to be held in 2015, rural economies will
not be able to benefit from election campaigning activities. And if farm prices
stay weak in 2015, it will be difficult to see a strong rebound in private
consumption in the upcountry.

2.2 Political labyrinth

Some may think that Gen Prayuth may want to contest in the next election to
gain legitimacy. However, we think that the several policies that the
government plans to implement over the next few months are not likely to win
him popular support. For instance, higher NGV, LPG and diesel prices will hurt
low-income people and businesses, while property and inheritance taxes will
hurt middle- and high-income segments. Moreover, a higher VAT will affect
everyone. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine that he would gain support from
enough people to continue as an elected prime minister after the next election,
even though the policies he plans to implement will be good for the country
over the longer term.
Thus, if it is not Gen Prayuth, who will then be the next prime minister or form
the next government. Many still believe that the Pheu Thai Party will still win
the next election. The Democrat is still too indecisive to become a credible
competitor for Pheu Thai, even though the Democrat seems to be the preferred
choice for the military to run the country, in our view.
December 12, 2014
This would lead us back to the question on whether the election in early 2016 is
still likely. The concern that Pheu Thai Party will win the election and become a
new government will make the military government think twice about handing
power back to the public. That said, the government may want to stay in power
longer. But since we believe that the current government's economic
performance is likely to be weak, there will be growing resistance in 2015.
Therefore, the military government may not be able to stay very long either,
even though it may still want to maintain martial law.
We expect the pressure to mount in 2H15. Therefore, it may have to reach a
compromise with Pheu Thai so as not to encroach on each other's turf. With his
younger brother being an assistant army chief, Gen Prayuth can still have
strong support in the army after his retirement in Sep 2014. Therefore, we
believe that this would be a better exit strategy for the current government,
rather than incurring the risk of facing more resistance by staying longer.
Although the Constitution Drafting Committee is likely to design a new
constitution in such a way that there will be more appointed senators and
probably some appointed members of Parliament as well, we believe that it will
still be difficult to gain the necessary support from the general public.
2.3 Government needs to deliver infrastructure projects

Government infrastructure spending is probably the only hope to boost Thai
economy in 2015, in our opinion. But the progress so far has been quite
disappointing. One of the reasons is that due to efforts to fight graft in the
system, the military government has set up a committee, called the Budget
Monitoring and Scrutinising Committee, to review all major government and
state enterprises projects that are worth more than THB1bn (US$30m). And
since all government infrastructure projects are worth a lot more than THB1bn,
they have to undergo the scrutiny of this committee. The committee has already
asked some government agencies to review some of these projects, which
caused some delay in the rollout of these projects.
The first major government project that is likely to be awarded first is the North
Green Line project (Mo Chit-Sapanmai-Ku Kot) worth THB26.4bn (US$0.8bn).
Based on our channel checks, the bidding results are likely to be known by Dec
2014, even though the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA)
announced earlier that the results will be known in Feb 2015. We believe that
all major contractors will get their share of the project as it will be divided into
four contracts. CH Karnchang (CK), which we believe is closest to the
government, is likely to secure the biggest contract, i.e. contract 1, while
Italian-Thai Development (ITD) is likely to get the second largest one, contract
2, followed by a joint venture between Sino-Thai Engineering (STEC) and AS
Associates, i.e. STEC-AS for contract 3, and a JV of Uniq Engineering (UNIQ),
Sino-Hydro Corp and China Harbour Engineering, i.e. UN-SH-CH for the forth
one.
But after the North Green Line, we believe that Orange Line (Taling Chan
Min Buri) worth THB115bn (US$3.5bn) is likely to be the next one. The bidding
process may start in 2Q15.
Although contractors are hopeful that the Pink Line (Khae Rai Min Buri)
worth THB59bn (US$1.8bn) can also roll out within this year, there is some risk
that the project may be redesigned as the existing design is based on a light rail
platform, which is not compatible with other mass transit lines that are heavy
lines. The government may want the Pink Line and Yellow Line (Lad Prao
Samrong), worth THB57bn or US$1.78bn, to switch to heavy lines, thus making
them compatible with the rest and more efficient for mass transit. If the
authorities decide to change the design, then the Pink and Yellow Lines will
have to go back to the drawing board, which would mean a few years of delay.
In addition, the government is reported to have a plan to create a new
government agency, the Rail Transport Authority of Thailand, to oversee both
railway and electric trains. The Transport Minister, ACM Prajin Juntong,
10
December 12, 2014
expects the new agency to be up-and-running in Jun 2015. This new agency will
be tasked with the bidding process of all rail mass transits and maintaining
them, while the State Railway Authority of Thailand (SRT) and the Mass Rapid
Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) will be providing services to the public.
This could also mean further delays in the bidding process of future mass
transit systems, in our opinion.

Although public investments may pick up next year, it is still uncertain whether
these public investments will crowd out private investments as capacity
utilisation is still hovering around 60% (Figure 11), which is quite low.
Moreover, public investments alone will not be sufficient to revive the Thai
economy if private investments do not pick up as well, since private
investments are more than three times larger than public investments (Figure
10).
The 19% yoy decline in value of projects submitted for BOI privileges in 10M14
also does not bode well for the investment outlook next year. However, given
the political uncertainties in 1H14, we hope that there will be a pick-up in BOI
applications soon.

2.4 Tourism recovery

No thanks to the political uncertainties in Thailand, tourist arrivals dropped
significantly. Basically, tourist arrivals just turned positive by growing 6% yoy
in Oct 14, following the government's measure to grant the exemption of visa
fees to Chinese and Taiwanese tourists for three months, starting from 9 Aug
2014. As such, Chinese tourist jumped 67% yoy in Oct.
From our channel checks with the Airports of Thailand (AOT), the number of
passengers who went through its six airports had gone up 11% yoy during 1-23
Nov 2014. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the surge in Chinese
tourists can be sustained after the end of the visa fee exemption in early Nov
2014. Furthermore, the rebound in tourist arrivals because of the exemption of
visa fee to Chinese and Taiwanese tourists may not be as healthy as it seems, as
we believe that most of these tourists come from lower-income segments, which
would not really benefit the listed hotels that we cover, i.e. MINT and CENTEL.
However, European and American tourists were still down by 11% yoy and 7%
yoy, respectively, in Oct 2014. Although curfews were lifted in late Jun 2014,
many foreigners that we met while we were on the road thought that there are
still curfews in Thailand. This is because the government has not lifted martial
13
December 12, 2014
law, which was put in place since 20 May 2014. In addition, the ongoing martial
law is also the reason that many countries still have Thailand on travel alert.
Specifically, 58 countries still have Thailand on travel alert, despite the calm
political climate, vs. 66 countries in June after the coup. With travel warnings,
many tourists are reluctant to travel to Thailand as their insurance may not
cover accidents that are caused by political turmoil in Thailand. Thus, the
tourist arrival recovery may take a longer time than expected and the rebound
may be short-lived if the government still maintains martial law. But since Thai
hoteliers have maintained a tight ship and have been through many crises over
the past decade, we believe that they are prepared to cope with the prospects of
a fragile recovery.
On the contrary, hotels in upcountry are not affected much by political turmoil.
Thus, if tourist arrivals pick up, they should be running at close to optimal
occupancy, i.e. around 75-80%. This should allow them to raise their room
rates more aggressively. In addition, at the optimal occupancy level, hotels
normally do not hand out many freebies, such as free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, or a
free night after two or three paid nights. As such, their margins should increase
nicely in 2015.

3. 2015 ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

3.1 2015 Macro outlook
We believe that Thailands medium-term growth prospects remain positive
with potential GDP growth of 5% once its economic engines start running again.
However, considerable patience is needed before a proper upswing takes place.
We are unlikely to witness any material improvement until next year when the
governments stimulus programmes are underway and private consumption
starts to normalise in 2Q15 at the earliest. Exports will continue to see soft
demand amid the uneven global recovery and lingering structural weakness.
The tourism sector is showing signs of recovery with the number of incoming
tourist arrivals only starting to rise above last years levels in Oct, five months
after the coup in May. As such, we think a U-shaped recovery is more realistic
and project economic growth of 3.3% next year (vs. estimated 0.6% in 2014).

3.2 The recovery so far

Real GDP growth has been quite flat through the year, posting a weak outturn
of 0.2% yoy in 9M14 largely supported by net trade while domestic demand
contracted. The economy turned around in 2Q-3Q but the recovery remains
slow given the weakness in domestic demand and the fragile global recovery.
Although the political situation has stabilised, a major change in government
populist policies and the elimination of farming subsidies sent a shockwave
through the rural economy.

Hopes are pinned on a revival in government stimulus to boost growth but little
has been done so far and given the governments poor track record of project
execution, we think that the risk of delays remains high. Understandably, the
military government has taken a more conservative approach on fiscal spending
in order to clean up corruption in the public sector. As such, a new committee
the State Budget Monitoring and Scrutinising Committee has been set up to
review any government projects worth more than US$30m. However, we think
that this is likely to create bottlenecks in launching government projects.
Moreover, private investors are unlikely to make large commitments pending
further clarity on government policies and effective execution of fiscal plans.
The government is in the process of amending the Foreign Business Act (FBA),
which has the unintended consequences of creating anxiety among foreign
investors surrounding the investment environment.

3.3 Exports not making the cut

Despite early signs of a turnaround in domestic demand, exports which are a
key pillar of the Thai economy remain slack. Exports of goods never fully
recovered from the 2011 flood crisis. Reports also suggest that orders were
diverted elsewhere for fear of interruptions to production and logistics during
the political crisis that started in Nov 2013. We believe that aside from cyclical,
interim and exogenous factors that have prolonged the muted export
performance, underlying these problems are structural issues.
On the whole, Thailand appears to have diversified extensively its range of
agriculture products to include rice, rubber, sugar, cassava, shrimps, canned
pineapple and soy. It has also done well in terms of diversification of
manufactured exports into sectors, ranging from textiles to electrical &
electronics and automobiles. Thailands target export markets are also equally
well diversified between the G3 countries, China, Australia, core ASEAN
markets and CLMV (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam).
However, its stagnant export performance has revealed underlying weakness in
its industrial base and other structural impediments. Weakening growth of
labour-intensive manufactured exports indicates a loss of comparative
advantage in the low-wage and labour-intensive sectors. Thai enterprises in
various industries are also adjusting their investment plans in preparation for
the loss of Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) privileges in the EU. These
include relocation of factories to countries that still enjoy the tariff privileges or
those that have free trade agreements (FTAs) with the EU. Mid- and high-tech
products suffer from limited local inputs and high trade dependency as
Thailand remains an assembler and does not specialise as a manufacturer in
research, design and innovation.
The entire export-oriented sector has been built on capital investment and a
large pool of cheap labour, which is easily replicated in other low-cost countries.
Instead, the country needs more durable technological capacities on the part of
local producers and workers. As such, prospects for future development depend
upon industrial restructuring through the creation of new growth industries, be
it in agriculture or manufacturing.

3.4 Liquidity conditions stable

A current account surplus of US$7.3bn or 2.6% of GDP in 9M14 helped to offset
outflows in the financial account, though the surplus came about due to a
collapse in imports (-9.4% yoy) relative to exports (-0.7% yoy). Overall foreign
18
December 12, 2014
reserves has declined US$7bn or 4% to US$161bn as at end-Oct, which covers

nine months of imports and 2.7 times short-term external debt.
Generally liquidity conditions in the banking sector remain stable, with the
high level of liquid assets held by banks relative to its deposits and borrowings
at 27% as at Jun 14, which far exceeds the minimum legal requirement of 6%.
This reflects that commercial banks have enough liquid assets to absorb deposit
outflows. The loan to deposit (including B/E) ratio continues to trend higher
but the slowdown in deposits and B/E is in part due to savers reallocation of
savings towards investment in higher return assets such as stock, mutual fund
and life insurance as a result of the low deposit interest rate environment.
Competition between banks to mobilise deposits has also moderated.
Going forward, deposit mobilisation is expected to pick up in tandem with
rising demand for credit with improvement in private confidence and clarity on
government policies. However, competition for deposits will not be as strong as
in 2013 given the expectations of a moderate recovery. Moreover, commercial
banks continue to maintain strict lending standards, particularly for selected
consumer segments.

3.5 Inflation and interest rate outlook

The GDP deflator eased further to 1.0% yoy in 3Q14 (2.0% in 2Q) and the
consumer price index (CPI) rate also moderated to 2% (2.5% in 2Q), while the
producer price index (PPI) rose 0.1% yoy (1.4% in 2Q). In 10M14, headline CPI
rose 2.1% yoy (10M13: 2.3%).
The Bank of Thailand (BOT) proposed an average headline inflation target
range of 1.5-4.5% in 2015, in the minutes of the Sep Monetary Policy
Committee (MPC) meeting. We project average annual headline inflation of 2%
in 2015 (vs. estimated 2% in 2014). Given that the inflation risks have abated
amid lower oil prices and ample excess capacity, there is room for the central
bank to lower rates if needed. If the fiscal stimulus is delayed and the risk of
stagnation rises, we think that the BOT will be compelled to ease rates.
As at 26 Nov, the baht has declined 0.3% to THB32.8 against the US dollar vs. a
0.82% gain to 32.44 at end-Jun. We expect the THB/US$ to rise further to 36
by end-2015 as the dollar rebounds. Key support factors for the baht in the near
term include calmer politics, an improved growth outlook and ample foreign
reserves.

3.6 Risks and issues to watch

Farm prices have fallen sharply this year, thus depressing both export values
and farm incomes. A new scheme to give cash handouts to the rice farmers
based on the area under paddy cultivation instead of the harvest-linked subsidy
by the former government is underway. However, the first tranche of payments
has barely started to trickle down by mid-Nov with only 10% payments made
well short of the 30% earmarked. Aside from this, the government has not
announced any other concrete policy to restructure the agriculture sector which
employs over 42% of the countrys labour force and remains the largest
employing sector but accounts for only 4% of the total wage bill. We believe that
this is the root cause of Thailands large income disparity, wide political and
social divisions, and risks Thailand being caught in the middle-income trap.
With energy reforms in the pipeline, the government will soon raise the excise
tax on diesel. However, thanks to the decline in global oil prices, the increase in
retail fuel prices should be manageable. But the government is looking into
other avenues to boost revenue streams, including the introduction of a
property tax, inheritance tax, and may also raise the VAT next year, which does
not bode well for consumption.
Although the share of household debt to GDP remains high at 82.3% as at
end-2Q14 (vs. 61% in 2009), growth has moderated from double-digit pace over
20
December 12, 2014
the last four years to 8% as at mid-2014. Given the high percentage of indebted
households and muted economic growth, the debt servicing ability of
households remains an important risk factor that could dent potential
consumption. As at end-2Q14, the debt servicing ability of households
deteriorated slightly and the delinquency and NPL ratios of consumer loans
edged up to 6% (vs. 5.8% in 1Q14) mainly due to auto leasing and other
personal loans. The upside is household liquidity remains high as reflected by
the ratio of household financial assets to household debt, which stabilised at 2x.
Ultimately, the sustainability of the recovery rests on continued political
stability and private sector participation. Greater clarity on government policies
and effective execution of fiscal plans will help to restore investor confidence
and drive private investment. After the last coup in 2006, the military
government stayed for a year. But there is a growing possibility is that it may
stay for longer this time.

4. RISKS
4.1 Strong economic headwinds
Exports is Thailands biggest economy driver, forming 73% of GDP in 9M14. At
the beginning of this year, the authorities expected exports to expand by 4% yoy
in 2014. A few months later, the government lowered its 2014 export growth
forecast to 3% and subsequently to 2%. It now projects zero export growth in
2014, after exports contracted by 1% in 9M14.
In our view, there are structural reasons for Thailands weak export
performance, including:
1) Thailand is not part of the major supply chain for high-end electronic parts,
which are used in mobile gadgets such as the iPhone and iPad. As such,
Thailands exports of computers and parts have underperformed total exports
over the past decade (Figure 35). Exports of computers and parts accounted for
12% of Thailands total exports in 2000 but only comprised 7% in 2013.
Thailands failure to move into the higher value-added computers and parts
supply chain could be due to the series of political crises. It would take
significant time and effort for Thailand to attract foreign investment in new
technology. It would also require a more stable political environment.
Therefore, we do not expect Thailands exports of computers and parts to turn
around in the near term.
In addition, an economic slowdown in China will also hurt Thailand's export
performance. Note that Thailands exports to China contracted 5% vs. flat
growth for total exports in 10M14. A further slowdown in China will also weigh
down Thailand's export growth in 2015.

2) Thailands auto exports, which were strong in the past decade, have started
to face competition from its neighbouring countries in 2014. The weaker auto
exports could also be attributable to the countrys political problems, which are
forcing the carmakers to diversify their investments away from Thailand.
Indonesia appears to be a natural choice, given its large domestic market. Auto
exports only contributed 5% of Thailands total exports in 2000 but rose to 14%
in 2013 and 9M14.

agricultural exports such as rice. This, in turn, has weighed down export
performance over the past few years.

4.2 Weak farm prices and lack of major stimulus measures

Although the political situation remained calm after the coup, the major change
in government policies the elimination of farming subsidies sent a
shockwave through the rural economy, in our opinion. The farmers have
become dependent on farming subsidies as the previous governments provided
support to upcountry farmers. The sudden change in government policy,
without a proper plan to cushion the blow, makes it difficult for the upcountry
population, especially given the weak farm prices. The price of paddy rice has
fallen 13% YTD, while the price of smoked rubber third grade has plunged 25%
YTD.
Thailand produced 37.7m tonnes of paddy rice last year. Assuming that the
paddy rice price falls 13% in 2014, the farmers would lose revenues of around
THB28bn. In an attempt to compensate the farmers, the government will pay
subsidies of THB1,000/rai (or THB2,500/acre) to farmers who own land
measuring 1-15 rai (0.4-6 acres). The government expects total compensation to
23
December 12, 2014
amount to around THB40bn in 2014. However, the subsidy disbursement has

been very slow in 2014, as the government aims to minimise corruption in the
disbursement process.
As for rubber, Thailand produced about 4.4m tonnes last year. Thus, a 25%
decline in rubber price would translate into farmers lost revenues of around
THB82bn in 2014. The government tries to compensate the rubber farmers by
providing subsidies similar to those for rice farmers, as well as setting up a
THB6bn fund to support rubber prices. However, the governments measures
have failed to prop up rubber prices in 2014. Therefore, the rural economy has
suffered badly in 2014, as reflected in the weak retail same-store-sale growth
(SSSG).

The rice subsidies gave farmers an incentive to grow more rice and the
countrys rice output has increased from about 30m tonnes in 2005 to 37.7m
tonnes in 2013. Given the 18m tonnes of rice inventory under the Yingluck
governments rice-pledging scheme, Thailands huge rice stockpile is likely to
continue to put pressure on rice prices next year.
The high rubber prices a few years ago encouraged farmers to plant more
rubber trees, causing the mushrooming of rubber plantations beyond the
Southern region (traditional rubber-growing area in Thailand). Hence, there
was a big spike in rubber output over the past couple of years. In our view, the
higher rubber output will continue to weigh on rubber prices in 2015 as well.

4.3 Further cuts in earnings forecasts likely

The market consensus for EPS growth was 11% for this year and 14% for next
year at the beginning of the year and had been quite stable even after the May
2014 coup. However, after the release of disappointing 2Q14 corporate results,
market consensus for EPS growth this year was revised down to 7% but next
years growth was revised up to 17%.
Analysts may just cut 2014 forecasts but did not slash 2015 numbers in Aug
2014, as they hoped that the economy would see a V-shaped recovery after the
coup as the economic activities seemed to have picked up nicely. However, they
may have forgotten that during the 7-month political stalemate, people may not
be in the mood to spend money, and the roadblocks and political protests may
make it difficult for people to come out to shop. As such, when the political
situation calmed down after the coup, any pent-up demand was released. Once
this demand was exhausted, economic activities have slowed down again. As a
result, the market consensus for EPS growth this year is now revised down to
2% and that for next year stands at 18%. We believe that the market is still
optimistic about next years outlook and that the EPS growth number could be
revised down to single digits.

4.4 Further delay in auction of 1800 MHz licences likely

We have become less optimistic about the visibility of spectrum auctions taking
place as per scheduled in Jul-Aug 15 as the government still has many
milestones to hit before proceeding with the auctions. Based on the existing
regulatory structure, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications
Commission (NBTC) will have to resume the spectrum auction process in Feb
15 or not later than Mar 15 in order to hold an auction in Jul 15. However, the
ongoing transition from the ICT Ministry into the Digital Economy Ministry has
led to more uncertainties regarding the NBTCs authority to allocate spectrum.
25
December 12, 2014
Figure 43: Digital Economy Ministry framework
Figure 44: Digital Economy Ministry structure
SOURCES: CIMB, Bangkok Post, COMPANY REPORTS
SOURCES: CIMB, Bangkok Post, COMPANY REPORTS
In Jul 14, the NCPO ordered the NBTC to postpone the planned spectrum
auction for 1800MHz for 12 months in order to give SOE telcos (TOT and CAT)
a longer grace period to come up with their survival plans. On 21 Jul 14, Deputy
Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan set up the Digital Economy
working group, with Deputy Prime Minister MR Pridiyathorn Devakula as the
chairperson alongside eight other members. The group is tasked with drafting
the ministry bill. The military government has proposed a digital economy
policy framework that will involve 1) the transition of the ICT Ministry to the
Digital Economy Ministry, 2) the amendment of the Frequency Allocation Act
to restructure the NBTC and place it under the supervision of the Digital
Economy Ministry, and 3) the amendment of the Telecoms Business Act.
The market is likely to be confused with the misalignment of the junta
governments Digital Economy Policy and the NBTCs mandate to auction
1800MHz spectrum in Jul-Aug 15 as planned. This implies higher uncertainties
with regard to the spectrum auction. The visibility of the spectrum auction is
certainly the key swing factor to determine mobile operators' share price
performances in FY15.
True will be a prime beneficiary of the lengthy delay in the 4G spectrum auction,
as the award will weaken its now superior competitiveness in spectrum holding,
regulatory cost and 3G/4G first-mover advantage. On the contrary, AIS will
clearly benefit the most if the spectrum auctions can happen on time as AISs
bandwidth limitation will be resolved, thus allowing it to regain its
competitiveness.
4.5 Energy reform and impact on retail gas prices

With the recent appointment of Energy Committees of the National Reform
Council, we believe that the government is likely to continue to remove
subsidies for NGV and raise the excise tax on diesel. The military government
has raised NGV prices by THB1/kg to THB11.50/kg on 1 Oct 2014 and another
THB1/kg on 3 Dec 2014 to THB12.50/kg. Meanwhile, the government also
raised the LPG prices by THB1.03/kg to THB24.16/kg, thereby removing the
remaining subsidy for LPG.
With recent sharp plunge in oil prices as well as gas prices, we believe that NGV
prices will not have to rise much following the subsidy removal. That said, the
26
December 12, 2014
cost of NGV should now be about THB8/kg vs. THB9/kg before the sharp
plunge in oil prices. The cost to transport gas should remain stable at about
THB5.56/kg. So, the new cost of NGV should be about THB14.5/kg, including
7% value-added tax, down from THB15.58/kg previously. With the current
market price of THB12.50/kg, the retail NGV price would have to rise by
another THB2.00/kg or about 16%.
Which one has higher impact on the public? (LPG vs. NGV) Between
LPG and NGV, we believe that the LPG price increase will impact the public
more than the NGV price increase. This is due to 1) the number of vehicles
using LPG accounts for 3.27% of Thailands total 35.4m vehicles. This compares
with only 1% for NGV; and 2) LPG price increase will impact not only the
transportation sector but other segments like cooking gas, industrial, and
petrochemicals as well, while NGV is used only in the transportation sector.

The retail prices of diesel are likely to move up as well. Prior governments tried
to cap diesel prices below THB30/litre to limit the impact on transportation
cost and the cost of living. To date, Brent oil prices have plunged more than
30%, but the retail prices of gasoline in Thailand have not come down as much,
since the government levies various taxes on gasoline. As such, gasoline prices
have fallen by about 13-15%, while diesel prices have declined by only 2% as the
government starts collecting contributions to the Oil Fund from diesel, rather
than providing subsidies from the Oil Fund for diesel. However, excise tax and
municipal tax on diesel are still way below other gasoline prices. Therefore, we
believe that the current government will start raising these taxes on diesel. We
believe that ultimately retail diesel prices will be closer to Gasohol 95 E10 or
27
December 12, 2014
about THB33.20/litre, representing a 17% increase (+THB4.81/litre) from the

current level. Again, we believe that the government will split the increases into
several instalments. However, if oil prices move up significantly in the future,
retail gasoline prices in Thailand will become more volatile.

December 12, 2014
PTT is prime beneficiary of higher NGV and LPG prices. Currently, the
demand for NGV is 8,787 tonnes per day or 8.8m kg per day, equivalent to
3.2m tones p.a. Of this, only 19% of total consumption is for taxis and public
buses, the two key segments that are likely to be subsidised given the impact on
the general public. PTT currently subsidises an additional THB1/kg for these
two segments, bringing the NGV price for these two segments down to
THB9.5/kg.
PTT incurred losses of THB19bn from NGV subsidies in 2013 due to its low,
capped price of THB10.5/kg vs. its actual cost of THB16/kg, based on 9.5m kg
demand per day. The loss of THB5.2/kg for NGV comes from PTTs high cost
structure THB11/kg for the gas cost, THB3.7/kg for other operating costs
including SG&A and depreciation, as well as transportation cost of THB1.5/kg
for delivery from the 20 mother stations at the pipeline to the 356 daughter
stations. Hence, we estimate that the NGV loss could swell to THB16.7bn in
2014 or 16% of its 2014 net profit if this NGV price cap continues.
We estimate that every THB1/kg increase in NGV and LPG prices would result
in an upside of 2.4% and 0.7%, respectively, to our 2015 net profit forecast of
THB110bn for PTT. In terms of valuation upside, every THB1/kg price increase
in NGV and LPG would result in an upside of 1.8% and 1.1%, respectively, to
PTTs SOP target price of THB400.

4.6 Capital outflow?

There are some concerns that there will be some outflows as US dollar is
strengthening and overseas interest rates move up as the Bank of Thailand may
not be ready to raise domestic interest rates amid a weak economy. Foreign
investors held THB687bn (US$21bn) of Thai bonds as at end-Oct 14, or about
10% of the total value of the bond market of THB6.7tr. About 90% of foreign
holdings are in Thai government bonds, while the remaining 10% are in Bank of
Thailand bonds.
Foreign holdings peaked at about THB863bn (US$26bn) or about 13% of total
bonds outstanding in Apr 2013 before concerns over the tapering of the US
Fed's QE stimulus programme surfaced. Since then, THB176bn (US$5.3bn) had
been withdrawn from the bond market. Thus, if local rates do not move up
when overseas rates rise, there could be some outflows from the Thai bond
market, in our opinion.

Meanwhile, foreign holdings in the Stock Exchange of Thailand is already low

at the moment, at about 33.1%, down from 37% as at end-Sep 12. Generally,
their holdings in Thailand are now marginally above the level during the Global
Financial Crisis of 32.8% as at end-Dec 08. Therefore, any further sell-off
coming from foreign investors may not amount to much.
Foreign investors have been net sellers of THB8.9bn YTD (US$270m),
following net sales of THB193bn (US$6.4bn) in 2013. Meanwhile, local
institutions have been supporting the market with THB47bn (US$1.4bn) net
buying activities YTD. They were net buyers of THB108bn (US$3.6bn) in 2013.
Retail investors have been selling actively as well with THB55bn (US$1.7bn) net
selling orders YTD, while they were net buyers of THB87bn (US$2.9bn) in 2013.
Brokers proprietary desks were net buyers of THB17bn YTD (US$0.5bn), while
they were net sellers of THB1.7bn (US$57m) last year. As a result, we do not
think that there will be much selling pressure from foreign investors in 2014,
but the bulk of the selling pressure is likely to come from domestic institutions
that have been buying aggressively over the past couple of years with a net
buying amount of about THB155bn (US$5.1bn).

Selling pressure from local institutions could come from the redemptions of
Long-term Equity Fund (LTF) and Retirement Mutual Fund (RMF). Thais can
reduce their taxable income if they invest in LTF and RMF, up to 15% of their
taxable income or a maximum of THB0.5m for each fund. For LTF funds,
investors can redeem their investment after holding these funds for five
calendar years. And the investment must be in equity. We estimate that there
are normally inflows of about THB25bn into LTF funds annually.
For RMF, the amount that a person can invest to enjoy tax deductions is
calculated after taking into account the amount he/she invests in a provident
fund. Unlike LTF funds, RMF funds can be invested in equity or fixed income,
but they can only be redeemed after the investor reaches the age of 55. We
calculate that there are inflows of about THB10bn into RMF funds annually,
one quarter of which is likely to be invested in equity, with the remaining in
fixed income.
The strong market rally in 2014 could lead to big redemptions by LTF holders
in Jan 15, similar to what happened in 2012 and 2013 when the SET index rose
36% in 2012. Although the market was flat in 2011, it jumped 12% in 4Q11
33
December 12, 2014
which led to big redemptions of LTF funds in Jan 12, in our opinion. We believe
that this could trigger negative sentiments in the market. And once the market
sentiment turns sour, we believe that it is more difficult to turn it around as the
junta government's performance so far has not been very impressive, especially
on the economic front. Therefore, we would not rush into the market at this
point in time.

5. VALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1 Remain cautious with an unchanged 1,610 index target by
end-2015
Despite the disappointing corporate earnings performance in 2Q14 and 3Q14,
the market seems to have shrugged off the poor results and expects a V-shaped
recovery in 2015 with a market consensus EPS growth of 18%. We believe that
the 2015 earnings growth forecast will be revised down significantly to
single-digit growth.
Given the weak economic outlook, we believe that there will be more consensus
earnings downgrades, especially for CY15. Therefore, we do not think that the
current market level is sustainable. Certain investors think that the ample
liquidity will support the market but Figure 53 shows that foreign inflows into
the bond market have dried up.
We remain cautious on the market with an unchanged end-2015 index target of
1,610, based on 12.1x CY16 P/E (5-year historical average). Our regional
strategist, Mr Jason Todd, maintains his Underweight call on Thailand.

We prefer sectors that are less exposed to domestic demand (hotels) as well as
defensive counters (healthcare, utilities and alternative energy). Our top picks
are AOT, BGH, GUNKUL, KCE, MINT, RATCH and THCOM.
However, as some of them may have spiked up significantly of late such as AOT
and GUNKUL, we would prefer to wait and buy on any share price weakness in
a market correction.
We are massively Underweight on the retail, telco and media sectors as we
believe that retail and media will be affected directly by weak domestic demand
on the back of higher retail energy prices, introduction of a new inheritance tax,
potentially higher VAT and weak farm prices.
For telcos, we are less confident that the 1800 MHz licences will be auctioned
off in Jul 15, as it seems that the military government would like to take the
authority to issue the licences back from the National Broadcasting and
Telecommunications Commission (NBTC). Therefore, this could mean further
delays for the auctions. The NBTC's intention to proceed with the spectrum
auctions are not aligned with the military government's digital economy policy,
implying that there are uncertainties regarding the spectrum auction. Note that
the visibility of the spectrum auction is the key swing factor in determining the
mobile operators' share prices in 2015. Meanwhile, we think that there is a
brighter earnings outlook for the non-mobile space, including satellite and fixed
broadband. For the satellite space, the key positive factor is the still tight supply
that is fuelled by rising demand for TV broadcasting channels, especially those
of high-definition (HD) quality. Fixed broadband demand will remain strong in
FY15 on the back of asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) to fibre-to-the-x
(FTTx) service upgrades and greater ADSL penetration in untapped provincial
areas.

Airports of Thailand (AOT, Add, TP: THB258)
Most major airlines that use Thailand as their base still have ambitious fleet
expansion plans.
AOT looks attractively priced, at an EV/EBITDA discount of 10% or more

to its peers.
The anticipated rebound in tourist arrivals in 2015 should catalyse its share
price.

Thailand.

December 12, 2014
BGHs strong network expansion strategy and good execution track record
will support its long-term earnings growth.
BGHs valuation is more attractive than its smaller peers. Our target price is
THB23.8, still based on 34x forward P/E (1.5 s.d. above the 5-year
historical mean).

Gunkul Engineering (GUNKUL, Add, TP: THB32.0)
Gunkul has recurring income from two large 60mw wind farm projects in
2015-16 for both engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) and
operations. This will account for an estimated 80% of its earnings by 2017.
The company also has ongoing Myanmar power projects and is one of the
first Thai firms to successfully secure projects in Myanmar. This should
provide earnings growth potential.
Gunkul does not face downside risks from dilution, thanks to its clean
balance sheet. We raised our target price from THB29.5 to THB32 as we
rollover our valuation to 2016.

KCE Electronics (KCE, Add, TP: THB45.00)
There is strong demand for automotive printed circuit boards (PCB), driven
by the rising trend of the adoption of more electronics in cars to increase
efficiency by reducing fuel consumption, pollution and weight.
KCEs new factory in Lad Krabang will start operations in 1Q15. The plant is
equipped with new machines that could reduce the cost of PCB production
in the long term.
KCE has exceptional gross margins compared to the other PCB makers. The
company plans to expand its current market share of 6% via cost
competitiveness.
It is the cheapest stock in Thailands electronics sector, in terms of P/E

valuation. KCE trades at 11.6x FY15 P/E, compared to Delta Electronicss
(DELTA) 14.5x and Hana Microelectronicss (HANA) 14.5x. Our target
price of THB45.00 is based on 12.5x FY15 P/E (two s.d. above the industry
mean).

Minor International (MINT, Add, TP: THB42.00)
MINTs diversified business units, geographical spread and strategies

should lessen the impact of any event risks in Thailand or overseas. It also
stands to benefit handsomely from the recovery in tourist arrivals in
Thailand next year.
The aggressive expansion of the food and hotel businesses will allow
MINTs bottomline to increase by more than 20% p.a. over the next few
years.
MINTs current valuation is still attractive. Our target price of THB42.00 is

based on 24x CY16 P/E (1 s.d. above the 5-year historical mean).

Ratchaburi Electricity (RATCH, Add, TP: THB65.00)
We project solid core net profit growth of over 20% in FY14-16 for RATCH,
driven by the additional capacity of 750MW (13%) for its 40% stake in the
Hongsa coal-fired power plant in FY15-16.
There is further earnings growth potential from potential acquisitions in

Thailand, Australia and Japan (ongoing negotiations). We estimate that
these transactions could result in RATCHs total capacity rising 10-30%
over the next few years.
Its valuation remains attractive, at 11x CY15 P/E and 9x CY16 P/E,
compared to its peers 13x CY15 P/E.

Thaicom (THCOM, Add, TP: THB52)
Thaicom 6 is expected to boost Thaicoms FY15 earnings. Thaicom 6 has

been in operation since 2Q14 and we forecast that the utilisation uptake
will increase to the presales level of 68% in 3Q14. This implies that there
will be volume growth and margin expansion from this project in FY15.
Thaicom 7, which was launched in early-Sep 2014, is expected to post a

utilisation rate of 55% in FY15. This indicates that this project will provide
volume growth and margin expansion in FY15.

December 12, 2014
The concerns about the military governments investigation into Thaicoms

concession irregularities and proposed national satellite project are not new.
The junta government in 2007-08 carried out similar actions, but to no
avail. Therefore, we view its share price weakness as a buying opportunity.

Back to basics
The Thai banking sector has passed its peak growth stage and is now
rebalancing in the face of macro headwinds. The positives include
decent balance sheets and conservative credit costs. The sector's

Meanwhile, our Hold calls are

DISCRETIONARY OVERALL
SECTOR BRIEF
Seeing a glimpse of light

2014 has been a tough year for retailers. Political problems, a weak
economy, and low consumer confidence have led to sluggish domestic
demand and disappointing results. But we believe the worst is over.
There are high hopes for a sharp rebound in 2015, though, in our view,
a U-shaped recovery can be expected, while the pace of recovery may
vary among companies and across different retail segments.

Robinson Department Store
Upcountry department store leader with Lifestyle
Center boosting rental income while additional
upside is sales pick-up from recovery in domestic
demand and increasing urbanisation.
CP All
Combining 7-Eleven and Makro operations, CPALL
is the largest retail operator in Thailand. Long term
growth is promising with the companys ability to
cater to the rapid changes in its customers busier
lifestyles.
Jubilee
We are positive on JUBILEs business outlook in
view of its leading position in the diamond jewelry
retail business and ability to maintain its market
share, thanks to its strong competitive advantages.

GLOBAL
We have a Neutral rating on the sector.

With domestic consumption expected
to gradually pick up, we prefer CPALL
and Jubilee as defensive plays, and
ROBINS for its improving earnings
quality and upside for upcountry
demand recovery.
On a recovery path
We believe the worst is over for Thai
retailers as the countrys political
situation
has
stabilised,
while
government spending should kick-in
next year. However, we do not expect
the same pace of recovery for all
retailers as they have different target
markets and product segments. We
choose CPALL as an early pick-up
play due to its focus in FMCG
products.
ROBINS,
meanwhile,
remains our favourite as the
upcountry recovery play for its leading
position in department stores in the
upcountry and improved earnings
quality though rising rental income.
Stories from small retailers

For small cap retailers under our
coverage, our top-pick is Jubilee as it
targets high purchasing power
customers, as evidenced by its
double-digit SSSG, amid the slower
consumption generally. We are more
negative on MC as we believe it will
continue to suffer from weak demand
in the upcountry. We are also not
keen on OFM at the moment due to
its rising SG&A and the likely booking
of pre-opening costs with the launch
of its e-commerce website.
Selective buy
We are still positive on the long-term
prospects of Thailands retail sector,
boosted by urbanisation in the
upcountry and room for modern trade
to expand as the market shifts from
traditional trade. However, with the
varying pace of recovery in the short
term, we recommend CPALL and
JUBILEE for their defensive nature
and ROBINS for a clear recovery path.

SECTOR BRIEF

Waiting for government projects

Progress on the launch of public infrastructure projects has been
disappointing as the government wants to reduce graft in the public
sector. Our hope is that the government will speed up the bidding
process in 2015 to revive the economy.

Italian-Thai Development (ITD)
A strong order backlog, the prospect of getting more
infrastructure projects and tame building material
prices suggest bright prospects for ITD. But the real
issue is its margins and earnings visibility.
CH Karnchang (CK)
Given its good connections with the military
government, we expect CK to win more
infrastructure projects than other contractors. Its
decent order backlog also alleviates concern over
the slow progress of infrastructure launches.
Sino-Thai Engineering (STEC)
STEC has a low order backlog and is looking for
smaller projects. This would mean lower margins
and higher SG&A. It is not as close to the current
government as it was with the Democrat
administration.

Moreover, Thai contractors are not

likely to benefit much from the
medium-speed train projects that the
Thai government recently handed to
the Chinese government which is
likely to have its own contractors.
The Orange Line is expected to come
next, after the North Green Line. But
this should not surprise the market.
We keep our Neutral sector rating,
with CK as our top pick given its close
relationship with the government.
Orange after Green

MRTA has just announced the
winning bids for the THB29bn North
Green Line. ITD was the lowest bidder
for contract 1, the largest, worth
THB15bn while UNIQ won contract 2
(THB7bn) and STEC bagged contracts
3 and 4 (THB7bn). Surprisingly, CK
was not among the winners despite its
close
relationship
with
the
government.
The THB115bn Orange Line (Cultural
Centre-Min Buri) is likely to be up for
bidding in 2Q15, which could also
provide some excitement. After this
line, we believe that the other lines
may take a longer time as it seems
that the government may want to
change the design of the Yellow and
Pink lines from light rail system to
heavy rail so that they will be able to
carry more commuters and are
compatible with other projects. This
could mean a long delay for both lines
as the projects will have to start all

over again.
As for the double track rail projects,
we do not hold out much hope as it
appears that many of these projects
have not passed environmental
impact assessment (EIA) yet. It will be
a while before some of them come
through.
Medium speed trains

From our channel checks with
contractors, the project that the Thai
government is allowing the Chinese
government to build is still in the
early stage. It is not yet clear who will
invest in the project and there is no
design yet. This means that it will be
some time before construction of this
project starts.
It seems that the government has
granted the project to China for
political reasons. We think that this is
also the reason for the recent approval
of the East-West corridor to Japan.
Tame building material

prices
Given the weak global economic
outlook, we believe that building
material prices will remain benign
next year. This bodes well for
contractors margins, which are
normally very thin.

Booster shot from medical

tourism
We believe that the medical tourism trend will be even more
pronounced when Asian Economic Community (AEC) becomes
effective at end-15 as it will be easier for patients from neighbouring
countries to cross the borders for medical treatment in Thailand.

Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (BGH)
BGH is on track to have 50 hospitals in a couple of
years time. Cost control will still be its priority in
2015. Together with new hospitals, we believe it will
post strong earnings growth over the next few years.
Bumrungrad Hospital (BH)
We believe BH will continue to deliver steady
earnings growth over the next few years on the back
of rising medical tourism. Its Petchburi campus will
not be up and running in the next few years.
Bangkok Chain Hospital (BCH)
Its World Medical Centre is likely to show steady
improvement, which should more than offset startup
loss from new Karunvej hospital. BCH is expected to
post decent earnings growth over the next few years.

In addition, major hospitals continue

to enjoy greater economies of scale
and rising revenue intensity. We like
the sectors defensive nature and stay
Overweight even though it has
outperformed the market massively in
2014. Strong earnings growth will
catalyse the sector performance
further. BGH is our top pick. M&As
could catalyse its share price.
More patients from CLMV

Thai hospitals have been treating
more patients from Myanmar. We
expect to see more patients from other
neighbouring countries in the near
future, especially after the AEC
becomes effective, since Burmese and
Cambodians will no longer need a visa
to visit Thailand.
Big is beautiful
BGH is expanding aggressively and is
on track to raise its network from 37
hospitals currently to 50 hospitals in
the next couple of years. There will,
therefore, be more greenfield and
brownfield hospitals in the near term.
Even though BGH is already the
largest hospital group in Thailand, its

market share is 11% for private
hospitals and 7% for the entire
country. The market is fragmented
and there should be no issue if it
acquires another big group of
hospitals.
A bigger network would allow BGH to
not only serve more patients in
various locations but would also boost
its case mix index at its hubs, thereby
improving margins, which in turn
would allow it to expand its reach.
Price to pay for expansion

It normally takes a greenfield hospital
three years to break even at the
bottomline. But with a mix of green
and brownfield hospitals and with an
already large network, absorbing a
few greenfield hospitals would not be
too painful for BGH. That said, we
still expect BGH to continue to post
19% earnings growth in FY15.

SECTOR BRIEF
CIMB Analyst(s)
Back to the limelight

We believe Thai hotels will enjoy a decent turnaround in 2015, even
though martial law has not been lifted. The sector will not only enjoy
higher topline growth on the back of a rebound in tourist arrivals, it is
also likely to enjoy higher room rates and margins, with fewer freebies
given out to attract customers.

round for MINT.

We maintain our Overweight call on

the sector. We like both MINT and
CENTEL due to the recovery of their
hotel and food businesses. We prefer
MINT to CENTEL given its greater
diversification
and
lower
concentration risk, especially on the
food side. MINT is also one of our top
picks for the Thai market for 2015.
Recover from a low base

We expect tourist arrivals to contract
by 4% this year to about 25.5m before
rebounding by 13% to 28.7m in 2015,
driven by the pick-up in Chinese
tourist arrivals.
We believe that the calmer political
situation will bode well for the
recovery of the hotel industry, even
though the rebound could have been
stronger had the military government
lifted the martial law. The government
may, however, lift the martial law only
in tourist destinations, which could be
a catalyst for the sector.
Room to raise ADR more

aggressively
With the rebound in tourist arrivals,
we believe that many Thai hotels,
especially in the upcountry, would see
their occupancy rates approaching
75-80%, allowing them to raise their
average daily room rate (ADR) more
aggressively. As such, there will be
double boost to their topline should
the occupancy rate reach the
threshold.
Enhancing margins
Thai hoteliers have learnt from past
political crises that cutting prices will
not help boost occupancy rate during
the crisis. Therefore, they did not do
that in the recent one.
They maintained or even raised their
room rates but handed out discounts
in the form of free nights following a
couple of nights stay, free breakfast,
free wifi, etc. We believe that once
tourist arrivals show signs of a solid
turnaround, they would no longer
hand out these freebies, thereby,
improving their margins.

CIMB Analyst(s)
Be more selective
We are Neutral on the sector and do not have a top pick in the sector as
we see a lack of near-term re-rating catalysts (for FTA-TV and outdoor
media) and demanding valuations (for cinema). From a business
perspective, we prefer cinema due to healthy competition, but dislike
FTA TV due to the intensifying price competition from new players.

BEC World
BEC is the second-largest FTA-TV operator by ad
revenue, which will operate under a concession from
MCOT until 2020. BEC won three digital terrestrial
TV channel licences from the auction in 2013.
Major Cineplex Group
Major is the largest cinema operator in Thailand
according to the number of screens and cinema
revenue. It currently has 480 screens, 60% of which
are in Bangkok, and the rest are in provinces.
MCOT
MCOT is the third-largest FTA-TV operator by ad
revenue and is 60% owned by the Ministry of
Finance. It recently won two digital terrestrial TV
channel licences from the auction in 2013.

Even though media stocks are

discretionary consumption plays and
could benefit from the falling fuel
price
and
low
interest
rate
environment, we also think that softer
agricultural
prices
and
high
household debt could offset the
consumption growth momentum.
FTA TV into the dark age

We are negative on the free-to-air TV
industry in FY15 due to 1) subpar adex
growth from a mild economic
recovery, 2) potential price war and 3)
rising opex (content, staffing and
marketing). In the medium term, we
prefer new players like Grammy, RS
and Work over incumbents like BEC
and MCOT, as the digital terrestrial
TV business should generate positive
NPV for new players that function as
both
content
providers
and
broadcasters. However, we prefer
incumbents over new players at this
price as we think that the market
could disappoint in terms of the new
players financial performances at the
initial stage.
Cinema good but too

expensive
We are upbeat on the cinema
businesss outlook in FY15 on the back
of healthy competition and a decent

Hollywood movie line-up. We are
positive on Majors first-mover
advantage in the second- and
third-tier provinces, which could
allow Major to capitalise on the
urbanisation cycle in these markets.
However, Majors recent share price
rally (up 50% YTD) prevents us from
upgrading our rating as the stock is
currently trading at 24x FY15 core
P/E, which is 1.5 s.d. above its
five-year historical average.
Outdoor slow recovery

We have seen signs of a recovery in
1Q15 as there has been an increase in
advanced bookings since 4Q14 for
property billboards and FMCG, not
only in Bangkok but other provinces
as well. Though it is not a V-shaped
recovery, we think that there has been
a continuous pick-up. In FY15, we
may see more M&A among outdoor
media players. In addition, Plan B,
one of the leading outdoor media
operators, is planning on an IPO in
FY15 and plans to use funds from the
proceeds to expand its business.
Meanwhile, VGI is still looking for
partners to expand its market share in
outdoor media, where it targets a 50%
market share in the next three years.

OIL & GAS - OVERALL

SECTOR BRIEF
CIMB Analyst(s)
Oil price warrior state

Given the sharp decline in the oil price, we believe that the key growth
driver for the sector will be the upside from regulatory changes. PTT is
our top pick for the sector, thanks to its upside from the NGV price lift
that could offset the weak earnings from E&P PTTEP.

PTT Exploration & Production

We expect PTTEPs share price to remain under
pressure in the near term due to the sharp decline in
oil price. However, its earnings should be more
resilient than its regional E&P peers given: 1) gas
contributes 70% of volume and 50% of earnings and
2) its gas pricing will be linked to the oil price at only
1/3.
Thai Oil
We believe that TOP is attractive after the recent
share price correction. While the impact of inventory
loss will be large, its core EPS growth in FY15 is
expected to be strong, driven by its improved gross
margin due to lower crude cost and premium.

PTT
Despite the weaker earnings due to a lower oil price,
we believe that PTTs core gas earnings should be
supported by its downstream petrochemical and
refinery associates. The biggest earnings upside
could come from the pass-through benefits of the
LPG and NGV price increases in FY15.
Dubai oil price (RHS)
We maintain an Overweight given the

limited oil price downside, and more
upside from the energy regulatory
reform that includes NGV and LPG
price lifts. The coal price remains
under pressure due to the chronic
oversupply,
while
the
refinery
industry should improve in FY15,
thanks to a lower oil price.
Regulatory upside
PTT is the only company in the sector
that should benefit from Thailands
ongoing energy reform. This upside
could come in the form of lower
subsidy loss for NGV that caused a
large loss of THB18bn in FY13. We
expect PTT to see up to THB15bn
earnings upside from this reduced
loss from the NGV price increase from
THB10.5/kg to THB16/kg, which is
PTTs NGV cost, by end-FY15.
Oil price downside
thanks to PTTEPs expected volume

growth of 13% yoy in FY15 and its
gas-heavy portfolio that should help
to protect its margin better than its
regional peers.
Refinery to see growth in

FY15
We believe that after a big bath in
FY14 due to the large inventory loss,
refiners should see strong earnings
growth momentum on the back of
US$2-4/bbl higher GRM (40-100%
upside) that should be driven by lower
crude premium and lower fuel loss.
PTT is CIMBs top pick

PTT is our top pick in the sector as it
may be the only major beneficiary of
the regulatory reform and given its
solid core gas earnings due to higher
volumes and rising earnings from its
gas-based olefin producer associate,
PTTGC.
Under the weakening oil price that

has already plunged by US$40/bbl to
US$64/bbl, we see PTTEP as a direct
loser due to its lower ASP. However,
this should only be in the short term,

SECTOR BRIEF
CIMB Analyst(s)
A turnaround year ahead

FY15 is expected to be a year of mixed fortunes for the sector. Olefins
should remain the strongest, while aromatics should remain the
weakest link given the undersupply and oversupply outlook. A surprise
upside could come from the polyester chain product, PTA, which has
been in a down cycle since FY11 and is likely to recover in FY15.
Indorama Ventures
We like IVL as a turnaround play on the coming PTA
margin recovery on the back of the PX downcycle in
FY14 and PTA cycle recovery in FY15. Its organic
growth momentum for MEG in the US and polyester
in Indonesia should be key catalysts in FY15.
PTT Global Chemical
We like PTTGC for its key advantage of cheap gas
feedstock, which allows it to benefit when oil prices
are high, and its favourable product mix of PX and
MEG that should lead to strong margins in FY15.

businesses, and its global petrochemical franchise.
SCC is set to benefit from the olefins industry
recovery, solid aromatics spread and SM upcycle.

PX-Naphtha
The petrochemical companies are

likely to see a diverse path, with
strong earnings growth momentum
for olefins plays, SCC and PTTGC, on
the back of rising industry margins.
IVL should continue to see a margin
turnaround, led by PTA and PET.
Therefore, we maintain an Overweight
rating on the sector. SCC is our top
pick due to its greater EPS upside
potential from the rising margin for
olefins.
A mixed fortune
SCC should see rising margins for all
businesses in FY15 given the
continued industry upcycle to drive
margins for PE and PP, while its
cement earnings should recover due
to an improved cement demand
growth. IVL could see better earnings
in FY15, driven by earnings growth
from M&A and a margin recovery for
PTA in FY16. PTTGC as a gas-based
olefins producer could see a
medium-term growth outlook given
that its earnings upside from volume
growth and industry upcycle could be
offset by lower margins due to the
weak oil price.
A turnaround theme
FY15 could be a turnaround year for
all three petrochemical companies.
IVL should be the strongest
turnaround company, with earnings
growth from M&A and improved PTA
margins. SCC could see its earnings
jump on the back of improved cement
margins and rising olefin spreads.
PTTGC may see the smallest
turnaround, mainly due to the higher
gas feedstock supply, but this would
be partly offset by the weak margins
due to a lower oil price.
Oil price impact

While PTTGC may be a loser as a
gas-based olefin producer, SCC should
be the strongest winner from a weak
oil price environment given its higher
olefin margin and lower energy cost
for cement production.
Time to reload
We believe that after a period of share
price consolidation and correction, it
is time to reload petrochemical stocks
ahead of their earnings growth
momentum and turnaround year.

PROPERTY
DEVELOPMENT
SECTOR BRIEF
CIMB Analyst(s)
Prefer homes to factories

We believe residential property developers are much better positioned
than industrial estate plays to benefit from any consumption stimulus
measures. They are also less affected by property tax given their
shorter business cycles for land holdings, and offer more sustainable
earnings visibility, cheaper valuations, and higher yields.

Company
(THBm)
Supalai (SPALI TB)
SPALI is one of the leading residential developers in
Thailand with revenue mix of 50% SDH/TH and 50%
condo. It is well known for offering products that are
perceived as good value for money. It has significant
exposure to the rural market (40% of its total
launches). As a company focussed on
cost-efficiency, SPALI consistently achieves high
gross margins of above 40%, and net margins
exceeding 20%.
Pruksa (PS TB)
PS is the largest developer in Thailand in terms of
M s presales. It is a dominant player in the TH
market (50% market share), achieving an impressive
turnaround after being severely hit by the floods. Its
less-is-more strategy, with its efficient shorter
business cycle time, has helped to speed up its
bottom line improvements.

We maintain our Overweight rating

on the property sector. Within the
sector, we like stocks that offer
defensive growth, backed by a
diversified revenue/product mix, high
lock-in rate for FY15 condo revenue
based by solid backlogs, healthy
balance sheets, high ROE, and decent
yields. As such, our top property picks
are SPALI and PS.
Promising outlook
Despite the challenging macro
environment, we still expect 4Q14s
earnings to continue to show yoy
growth, thanks to sales expansion in
both
SDH/TH
and
condos,
sustainable gross margins and lower
SG&A ratios. It would appear that the
results for some companies, like AP,
SC and QH, may have already peaked
in 3Q14. However, firms like ANAN,
LPN, SIRI and SPALI should post
backend-loaded earnings in 4Q14 on
an expected larger bulk of condo
transfers. Presales activity will slow
down in 4Q14 for most of the
companies.
FY14s
normalised
earnings are expected to grow 14% on
average for our coverage, and should
continue to grow at 22% in FY15 and
15% in FY16.
Like residential more

We maintain our Overweight stance
on residential property developers.
Upside for earnings is still possible,
given that the market has not fully
factored in the companies guidance
for top line growth and gross margins
for FY14-15. With their proven
resilient earnings growth and higher
visibility, backed by longer streams of
backlog, residential property players
deserve a rerating (still trading at
either 5-year mean or 0.5 s.d. below
mean on forward P/E). Valuations
remain undemanding at 10.5x CY15
P/E and 9.5x CY16 P/E compared to
the SETs 12.6x CY15 P/E and 11.0x
CY16 P/E. Average yields are also
attractive at 4-5%.
Less keen on industrial plays

We stay Neutral on the industrial
estate
sector.
Valuations
are
demanding and yields are unattractive.
The declining trend in BOI/FDI data
is not supportive of a sustainable land
sales
growth
outlook
in
the
foreseeable future. The BOI and FDI
data on a net submitted application
basis (leading indicator for FDI in
Thailand) for 10M14 showed a decline
of 19% yoy by number of project,
despite the newly-formed BOI Board.

SECTOR BRIEF
CIMB Analyst(s)
Automotive is the next driver
We expect the auto segment to be the main driver for Thai electronic
companies over the next five years due to increasing demand for
electronic components in vehicles. Our top pick is still KCE for its solid
growth backed by high exposure to the auto segment and its cheapest
rating in the sector.

Delta Electronics
Despite Deltas impressive growth and stable growth
outlook in 2015, we believe its current valuation of
13.7x FY16 P/E is not attractive as it stands at 1.7
s.d. above its 5-year mean due to the recent price
rally following its inclusion in MSCI Global Standard
Indexes.
KCE Electronics
KCE remains our top pick for the tech sector in
Thailand given the high growth potential from rising
demand for automotive PCB, supported by a new
factory which will come online next year.
SVI
We expect SVI to underperform the SET index in
2015 after the fire in Nov 2014. Its earnings could
come under pressure from a ramp-up of production
after the fire. It will take time at the earliest about a
year to reach pre-fire capacity.

Jan-14
SVI Public Company Limited
SOURCES: WHO
The share price performance of the

tech companies in 2014 was quite
impressive, with our top pick KCE
outperforming the SET index in 2014.
We have a Neutral rating on the sector
as valuations are stretched and most
companies are entering into an
expansion phase, which could soften
earnings in the near term.
Autos incorporating more

electronic parts
We expect the automotive segment to

be the main growth area for electronic
component companies over the next 5
years on the back of higher demand
and the use of electronic components
in cars. Electronic components
currently account for 30% of vehicle
production cost and are expected to
increase to 40% by 2016. As a result,
many companies are trying to
increase their exposure to the
automotive segment.
Deltas valuation is not

attractive yet
Delta is pursuing a new growth sector

in regional business (trading, turnkey,
and solution) to diversify from the
ODM segment. Although the company
generates solid positive cash flow with
high cash on hand, we think that its
current valuation of 13.7x FY16 P/E is
not attractive.
SVI to take time to recover
We believe that SVI will report poor

1H15 earnings during its ramp-up of
production after the fire. The earliest
timeline for a recovery to the pre-fire
production level will be 2016.
KCE riding on hybrid and EV

vehicle trend
With the highest exposure to the

automotive segment (70%), KCE is
our top pick in the sector due to its
expertise in producing automotive
PCB and its new capacity that will
allow it to benefit from industry
growth. It is riding on the trend
towards hybrid and EV vehicles.

In search of market equilibrium

We maintain our Neutral rating on the Thailand telco sector. In the
mobile space, our upbeat medium-term outlook is neutralised by
near-term headwinds from unfavourable regulatory developments
and intensifying price competition in FY15.

Jasmine International
Jasmine is the dominant fixed broadband operator in

Total Access Communication
DTAC, the second-largest mobile operator, should
be in a neutral position regardless of whether the
spectrum auction will take place as scheduled.
Jasmine
Thaicom
Intouch
FY15 EV/OpFCF (x)
SOURCES: CIMB, Bloomberg, COMPANY REPORTS
So, until there is more clarity on the

spectrum
auctions,
we
prefer
non-mobile stocks, such as Thaicom
and Jasmine, over mobile names,
justified by FY15 EBITDA growth,
core EPS growth, dividend yields and
core P/E multiples. DTAC is our top
pick in the mobile space. We prefer
Intouch to AIS and TRUEIF (not
rated) to True given higher dividend
yields with similar exposure.
Mobile A challenging year

ahead
We have become less optimistic about
spectrum auctions taking place as per
scheduled in Jul-Aug 15 since the
government still has many milestones
to hit before proceeding with the
auctions. We expect competition to
intensify in 2015, at least until the
spectrum auction timeframe can be
established. Key factors fuelling the
competitive landscape are 1) the
excess network capacity, which needs
to be filled up, 2) the inorganic
demand push for the mid- to
low-income segment to adopt 3G
devices, and 3) the imbalanced
spectrum holdings among the telcos.
Satellite It is all about

utilisation management
We continue to like the satellite
businesss outlook for FY15 given 1)
tight satellite transponder supply for
local TV broadcasters to serve the
growing demand for HD-format
content, 2) the growing demand for
satellite-based mobile backhaul and
broadband internet services in Japan,
China, Australia, Malaysia, India,
Indonesia and the Philippines, and 3)
the opportunity to penetrate new
frontier market Africa with remaining
broadcasting transponder capacity,
where the satellites fixed costs will be
fully offset by capacity sale in the
domestic market.
Fixed broadband Still a long

way to go
We are still positive on the fixed
broadband industrys outlook in FY15
on the back of 1) the mere 15% FBB
penetration rate outside Bangkok, 2)
upselling potential from ADSL to
FTTx for customers in major cities,
and 3) the complementary effect of
rapid 3G device adoption and the
growing popularity of social media
applications.

Delivering good news in 2015

According to government plans, 10 mass transit lines will be completed
by 2029, bringing its total length to 515km from 84.3km (61 stations)
currently. 106km and 70 stations will be added in 2016-18. BTS and
BMCL are the major local operators that stand to gain while the key
risk is political uncertainty, which could delay the lines opening.

BTS Group Holdings (BTS)
BTS, the Bangkok Skytrain operator, also manages
media, property and service businesses. All
business units revenues will be better from
onwards. BTS also receives dividends from BTSGIF
(33% stake).
Bangkok Metro (BMCL)
Although it is the operator of the Purple Line, which
is to commence operations in 2016, and likely to also
operate the Blue Line extension, it will take many
years for BMCL to clear its carry-forward losses and
pay dividends to shareholders.
Note
Under construction and will select operator in 2015

Select civil work contractors by 1Q15
According to the Ministry of

Transport, THB68bn has been
allocated for transport and traffic
planning in 2015, with 26% going to
MRT+NGV. The government will
select operators for the Blue Line
extension and the South Green Line
extension in 2015; we think BMCL
and BTS will win, respectively. Our
sector call is Neutral, with BTS our
top pick given its strong financial
stability.
Green Line for BTS

The operator of the THB19bn South
Green Line project is likely to be
chosen in 1H15. We think that BTS
will get it given its advantages over
other competitors.
Apart from Green Line extensions,
which BTS is likely to win, BTS is also
interested in other routes, e.g. the
Pink Line (Khae Rai-Min Buri,
expected operation in 2017), the Grey
Line (Watcharaphon-Rama 9 bridge,
expected operation in 2018) and LRT
(Bangna-Suvarnabhumi, expected to
operate in 2017). We think that BTS is
the most likely to receive O&M
contracts; we believe it will clinch the
North and South Green Line
extensions, at least, which will add
THB0.22/share to its current price.
BTS aims to operate 154.8km by 2018

and to rake in operation and
maintenance (O&M) revenue of
THB10bn.
Blue and Purple Lines for

BMCL
BMCL was awarded a contract in 2013
to operate the Purple Line till 2043
and it guided that it would open 3-4
months ahead of schedule (in
late-2016). Besides, it appears that the
government may negotiate with
BMCL about operating the Blue Line
extension. In our base case, we expect
the government to open the project
for bidding and BMCL to win it on
account of its lower capex and opex as
well as shorter timeline compared to
other competitors.
If BMCL is awarded the Blue Line
extension,
this
will
add
THB0.22/share, which we have yet to
factor into our model.
The sooner the better

The sooner government can make
more mass transit lines materialise,
the better the opportunity for both
BTS and BMCL to book O&M
revenues. We believe that BMCL may
improve its financial position faster
than expected. We have an Add call on
BTS and Reduce for BMCL.

A handicapped giant
CIMB Analyst(s)
Given the lack of spectrum auction clarity, we think that it is too early
and too risky to buy into AIS at this point. Intouch (Add, TP THB86)
offers better value (higher upside vs. identical downside) while DTAC
(Add, TP THB117) is our top Thai mobile pick.

AIS is in an inferior position as it

holds the least spectrum but serves
the greatest number of customers, has
a poorer regulatory cost structure and
is under pressure to migrate low-end
prepaid customers to the 3G/2.1GHz
network. All of these factors could
lead to overinvestment and lower
profitability in FY15. We keep our
estimates, DCF-based target price
(9.2% WACC) and Hold rating.
FY15 capex stays lofty

Given its limited bandwidth, AIS will
have to maintain its FY15 capex at the
FY14 level of THB40bn. Its high capex
intensity
also
implies
that
management is well prepared for the
possible delay of the spectrum auction
to beyond the Jul-Aug 15 deadline.
FY15 capex could be higher if the
spectrum auction is delayed longer
than expected, i.e. more than 6-9
months.
that there is plenty of new network

capacity to be filled up and more
marketing activities are on the cards.
Spectrum auction a critical

swing factor
Like us, the market will be confused
by the misalignment between the
junta governments digital economy
policy and the NBTCs mandate to
auction 1800MHz spectrum in
Jul-Aug 15 as planned. AIS will clearly
benefit the most if the spectrum
auctions can happen on time as AISs
bandwidth limitation will be resolved,
thus allowing it to regain its
competitiveness.
Brilliant long-term outlook
We are still upbeat about AISs longterm prospects. We expect the

competitive equilibrium to normalise
post the spectrum auction. As we see
the capex cycle peaking in FY15, AIS
will have more than sufficient network
Competition to intensify
for 3G and 4G services. Smartphone
In 3Q14, AISs subscriber migration adoption will go beyond the natural
was 88% and 3G device adoption 43%. adoption rate given the countrys
AIS continues to push harder to utilise smartphone affordability level, which
its new network capacity, capitalise on will allow AIS to monetise the
regulatory cost savings and minimise explosion in data consumption,
the possible risk of a spectrum auction leading to higher ARPU, margins, FCF
delay. Besides AIS, DTAC and True and dividends.

Challenging outlook
CIMB Analyst(s)
We see a challenging year ahead for AMATA. Downside risks persist

given its poor land presales in FY14, slow backlog accumulation and
continued land transfer misses.

9M14 land presales and earnings were

weak due to slow land transfers; and
we remain sceptical about its ability to
meet its FY14 land presale guidance of
1,000 rai. Without one-off gains from
REIT and continued delay in the
listing of its subsidiary AVN,
near-term catalysts are limited. Hence,
we retain our Reduce call. Our target
price rises as we roll over our
valuations to 8.5x CY16 P/E (1.5 s.d.
below 5-year mean).
Slow progress in land

presales
AMATAs 9M14 land presale was
merley
330
rai
(including
Thai-Chinese Holly Group and AVN)
vs. its FY14 guidance of 1,000 rai
which does not include Holly and
AVN. 9M14 land presale from Amata
Nakorn (AN) and Amata City (AC)
was merely 145 rai, i.e. 14.5% is locked
in. AMATA expects at least another
400-500 rai of land presale from one
Chinese customer in 4Q14. It appears
that the heyday of buoyant land
presales is over and it has become
more challenging to bring the land
presales pace back to 1,000 rai/year
as a norm. Choices now for relocation
of its car manufacturing base.

Overhang
The listing of AVN has been delayed
from 4Q14 to 2H15 while that of
Amata Summit REIT has been pushed
back to 1H15. AMATA has introduced
the leasehold method for land sales in
the new B zone of AN; this appears to
cause the delay in decision making
among its new customers in buying
industrial land for manufacturing
factories.
Stay cautious
We keep our EPS estimates. 9M14
EPS was only 37% of our
below-consensus FY14 estimate. Our
model excluded one-off gains. We feel
that
the
market
has
been
over-optimistic on AMATA. We expect
a continued gap between expectations
and actual performance. Downside
risk for this year cannot be ruled out
while next years visibility is unclear.
Not a choice
Given the slowing BOI/FDI, we prefer
residential developers as they: 1) are
better positioned to benefit from
consumption stimulus measures (if
any), 2) are less affected by property
tax, given the shorter business cycle
for land holding, and 3) offer more
sustainable
earnings
visibility,
cheaper valuations and higher yields.

ANAN offers compelling EPS growth

of 15-32% for FY14-16, attractive
valuations vs. peers, a solid balance
sheet
and
consistent
dividend
payment. We view it as one of the
promising long-term investments in
the residential development arena.
Near-term catalysts include strong
4Q14 presales and earnings.
Ambitious business targets

After reporting 9M14 earnings, ANAN
set
new
FY14
targets
of
THB9.5bn-10.5bn (prev THB9.2bn)
revenue
and
THB19.5bn-20.5bn
presales (up 73%). Total new launches
for FY14 amounted to THB14.9bn,
coming from four condo projects.
ANAN expects further growth in FY15,
targeting revenue of THB12bn-12.5bn
(+23% yoy) and presales of
THB22.5bn-23.5bn (+14% yoy). New
launches in FY15 are budgeted at
THB28.5bn-29.5bn for 12 new sites
(condo THB26.3bn, SDH THB2.7bn).

Current
Target
Compelling FY15 growth

We project FY15-16 EPS growth of
30-32%, even stronger than the 16%
we estimate for FY14, thanks to
continued strong presales that keep
beating the companys guidance and a
solid backlog with a low cancellation
rate of 1.5% and mortgage rejection
rate of 11%. A sustainable gross
margin of 36% and lower SG&A ratio
due to rising economies of scale will
also help support bottomline growth.
Attractive investment
ANANs P/Es have become more
attractive, at 9.7x CY15 and 7.4x CY16
compared to the peer average of 10x
for CY15 and 9x for CY16 even though
ANAN offers compelling FY15-16 EPS
growth of 30% compared to the peer
average of 16-22%. In addition, ANAN
plans to maintain its yearly dividend
payout.

We think that AP deserves a re-rating

due to its more compelling EPS
growth, ongoing JV projects with its
Japanese partner and stronger
balance sheet. Its valuation is
undemanding at 6-7x CY15-16 P/E
compared to the 9-10x peer average.
Promising growth outlook

Given APs new guidance and clearer
timeline for JV project contribution to
earnings, we recently raised our EPS
forecasts for FY14-16. We see higher
sales growth, thanks to (1) a recovery
in TH/SDH sales (back to normal
after
political
disruption),
(2)
continuously expanding condo sales,
(3) solid presales backlog worth
THB20bn and sizeable quality unsold
WIP condo inventory worth THB12bn
(additional support for revenue
booking up to FY16), (4) continuous
JV projects which will enhance shared
income, (5) sustainable gross margin

Target
of around 34% and (6) improving

SG&A ratio. We project EPS growth of
20% in FY15 and 18% in FY16. Based
on the presales backlog, 13-34% of our
FY15-16 EPS estimates are in the bag.
Cheap with decent growth

APs efforts at rebranding and product
innovation in the past few years have
started to pay off. Stronger customer
confidence led to a higher take-up rate
over 90% of its new condominium
project launch. We expect AP to
record compelling earnings growth of
18-20% during FY15-16, thanks to its
JV contribution and a continuously
strengthening balance sheet with net
gearing falling from 0.8x in FY14 to
0.6x in FY16. APs cheap valuation
with upside over 50% and dividend
yield of 5-7% are more attractive than
its peers.

Worsening domestic competition
CIMB Analyst(s)
AAV is at the centre of what is expected to be rising competition in the

domestic aviation space that will likely depress ticket prices. But AAV
may be rescued by the unexpectedly sharp fall in oil prices, if the
current levels sustain for a longer period of time.

Still, we maintain our Reduce call and

recommend investors to look at other
regional names with better underlying
prospects apart from just the oil price,
such as AirAsia and Cebu Air. Our
target price is based on CY16 P/E of
14x. De-rating catalysts include rising
pressure on domestic ticket prices.
respond with attractive fares of their

own. This means that the price
environment in the domestic Thai
aviation market will probably worsen
in 2015. About 60% of Thai AirAsias
seat capacity is deployed within the
domestic markets.
Competition to increase
Partially offsetting the expected

weaker domestic pricing environment
is the likely but gradual recovery in
tourist traffic from the Asian region.
So far, the recovery has been slower
than expected, but should pick up
pace in 2015, in our view. This will
help AAV improve the financial
performance of its international
routes next year.
Domestic
capacity
ex-Bangkok
Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and ex-Don
Muang (DMK) airports is expected to
rise 17.4% yoy between January 2014
and January 2015, on top of the 34%
yoy increase during 2013 and the 13%
increase during 2012, mainly due to
expansion by Thai Lion Air. In
addition, Thai VietJet is expected to
launch flights in December 2014, and
its two A320s could contribute around
5,000 additional seats per week to the
domestic market. If we put this
additional 5,000 seats into the first
week of January 2015, domestic seat
capacity from Bangkok could rise a
staggering 19% yoy.
Thai Lion Air is also expected to
double its fleet in 2015 to 20 planes.
The new entrants are likely to offer
very attractive fares to entice
passengers to try their services, and in
the process, force the incumbents to

Tourist traffic to recover
Oil prices very helpful

We have assumed an average jet fuel
price of US$110/barrel for FY15-16 in
our forecasts, against the current
price of below US$90. A US$10/bbl
lower jet fuel price can lift AAVs
earnings by 75%. Clearly, if the jet fuel
prices sustain at present levels, there
will be upside to our numbers. Even
so, we prefer cleaner buy ideas from
our universe of airline picks in the
region.

We believe that BBLs undemanding valuation will persist with its

conventional banking platform. Its share price has also consistently
underperformed that of the other large banks. The reverse trend could
have emerged if BBL had transitioned to become a more aggressive
financial institution.
Upon transfer of coverage, we project
BBLs loan growth for 2015 to be on
par with that of sector. Its lending
business is mainly driven by large
corporate and large-sized SME loans.
Our GGM-based target price is
derived from 1.13x FY15 P/BV,
assuming 12% long-term-ROE and
11.2% COE. Our Hold rating is
premised on its cheap valuation and
attractive dividends.
No exceptional growth
Its credit growth over the last two
years has been slower than its large
bank peers, and we believe this trend
will continue. We forecast an FY15
loan growth of 8%. Growth drivers
will mainly come from wholesale
banking which should benefit from
government spending in FY15. Going
forward, we believe BBLs top line
growth will not deviate from the past
trend due to its rather dated business
model. For example, BBL does not
focus
on
the
private
wealth
management of its retail customers.
As such, the bank loses the
opportunity tap on the rising wealth

of these customers. We forecast an

FY15 non-NII growth of 7.4% for BBL,
lower than that of its peers at 10%.
Outlook
Although it is perceived that BBL will
be one of the key beneficiaries of
public and private investments in
2015, we think that the bank is losing
market share in business lending to
its peers. In addition, BBLs
cross-selling efforts have not been
improved to reap the benefits of its
full-scale banking services. This is a
result of its conservative management
style that includes BBLs high
provisioning policy. On the flip side,
BBLs good asset quality and highest
NPL coverage ratio (LLR/NPL ratio of
244%) are the banks strong points.
Its NPL ratio has not been materially
impacted from the rising household
debt of retail customers as it does not
participate in auto hire purchase
lending.
Worth a Hold rating

BBLs undemanding valuation of 10x
P/E and 1.11x P/BV for FY15 reflects
its lower-than-peer ROE of 11.5%.

CIMB Analyst(s)
The opening of Karunvej Hospital may stir some concern over start-up
losses. We believe that a further improvement at BCHs World Medical
Centre (WMC) will more than offset Karunvejs start-up loss. This is the
price BCH has to pay to grow its network.

There may be no catalysts in the near

future but we believe that investors
will look for a turnaround at WMC in
2H15 as it is expected to be close to
breakeven in FY16. We maintain our
Hold rating for now with an
unchanged target price of THB9.30,
based on 31x CY16 P/E, still 1 s.d.
above its 5-year historical average.
Loss at WMC to decline

We believe that WMC will reduce its
losses from about THB220m in FY14
to THB130m in FY15 and approach
breakeven in FY16. If our expectation
materialises, the market will feel relief
as losses at WMC have been a big drag
on BCHs earnings over the past
couple of years. The hospital was
opened at the end of 1Q13.
Admittedly, the take-off of WMC has
been slower than expected as it is the
first high-end medical facility for BCH
whose strength lies in the mid- and
low-end. While cost control is the key
success factor for the low-end,
especially for those servicing Social
Security Scheme (SSS) patients, the
number of well-known doctors,
service quality and high-tech medical

Concern at new Karunvej

Hospital?
BCH
will
open
Karunvej
Ratanathibeth in the western part of
Bangkok in 1H15. This low-end,
100-bed hospital is expected to incur
THB100m loss in FY15 and approach
breakeven in late 2016. The new
hospital will cater mainly to SSS
patients. As the loss in its first year
should be more than offset by the
improvement at WMC, we are not too
worried about this.
Strong balance sheet

BCH has a strong balance sheet with a
net gearing of about 65%. It is
expected to generate about THB1.2bn
operational cashflow in FY15 and
THB1.4bn in FY16. There are,
therefore, more than sufficient funds
for its expansion programme if it
decides to grow more quickly.

Aggressive hub-and-spoke expansion with stringent cost control on the

back of a large hospital network will allow BGH to deliver solid
earnings growth over the next several years without much concern
over the drag from greenfield hospitals.

We reiterate our Add call on BGH

with an unchanged target price of
THB23.8 based on 34x FY16 P/E (1.5
s.d. above 5-year historical mean).
BGH is our top pick in the sector on
the back of its clear growth strategy
and strong execution track record. It
should be the prime beneficiary of the
Asean Economic Community (AEC).
Hub-and-spoke expansion
The six new hospitals slated for
opening over the next couple of years
are in Thailands upcountry and are
secondary care hospitals with only
one basic tertiary care hospital in
Chonburi province. As a result, capex
per bed is not high, at about THB4.5m
(US$140k).
These new hospitals will give BGH
better upcountry reach and should
help refer more serious cases to its
hub hospitals. This will also improve
its traffic and margins at the hubs. As
such, new hospitals will continue to be
one of key earnings drivers for the
next few years.
No dent from new hospitals

With stringent cost control and an
already large network of 37 hospitals,
BGH should be able to absorb start-up
losses from the new greenfield

hospitals without a dent in its

earnings growth. We expect its
EBITDA margins to be stable over the
next few years.
BGH has already added three
greenfield and four brownfield
hospitals in 2014. Its earnings are
expected to grow 23%, with EBITDA
margin rising by about 100bp to 22%
in 2014.
Prime beneficiary of AEC

With strong brand names and a large
hospital network that covers all
segments, BGH should be the prime
beneficiary of AEC, which will be
become effective at the end of 2015.
We expect more patients from
neighbouring countries, especially
Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and
Vietnam (CLMV), to cross the borders
to seek medical treatment in Thailand.
Therefore, BGHs organic volume
growth is expected to be 7-8% over
the next few years, outperforming the
5% peer average. Healthcare inflation
is expected to add about 3% growth,
case mix index another 0.5% and
inorganic growth 3%.

BMCL has been operating 20km of underground trains for over 10

years and it started paying a sizeable revenue share to MRTA in 3Q14
despite incurring net losses. But its operations are improving and it
has just won another 22km with 16 elevated stations (purple line) that
will start service in 2016. This is factored in its current share price.
We maintain our Reduce call in view
of the lack of dividends in the next few
years, high financial cost and
revenues that are not matched with
expenses in the short term. We note
that management is optimistic about
the future of its trains business and
commercial revenues. Our DCF target
price of THB1.14 is intact. BMCL not
only pays interest expenses but it is
also obliged to pay a revenue share of
c.THB43bn to MRTA until 2028.
Purple line to start in 2016

BMCL has guided that it can run the
purple line (Bang Yai-Bang Sue) 3-4
months ahead of the initial schedule
(in late-2016) which will bode well for
its earnings outlook, thanks to more
revenues booked via the feeding of
passengers from its existing blue line.
Service revenues from the purple line
should come in at around THB1.7bn
in the first year of operation. Besides,
the opening of the AIA and Stock
Exchange of Thailand (SET) buildings
in 2015 will support more riders in the
system. BMCL won the concession for

the purple line that covers 16 stations,

22km and 21 trains over 2013-2043.
Consolidation mode
Besides clinching the deal to operate
the purple line until 2043, BMCL is
also interested to operate the blue line
extension (Tao Poon-Tha Phra & Hua
Lamphon-Bang Khae) whose civil
works are 60% completed. To enable
the commencement of the operations
of the blue line in late-2017, the
government must choose an operator
by 1H15. We think that BMCL is most
likely to clinch this contract. However,
the delayed listing of Bangkok Metro
Network (BMN) could dent its
earnings outlook. BMN's 9M14 net
profit came in at THB23.4m vs.
THB29.7m for 9M13.
Maintain Reduce
We see limited upside over the next 12
months as BMCLs share price has
outperformed the market and its
peers YTD. We think that this could
lead to share price downside risks in
the short term. We reiterate our
Reduce rating and target price of
THB1.14/share.

Coal vs Power
CIMB Analyst(s)
While Banpu will face earnings pressure from weak coal prices, we
believe earnings will be strengthened by its power business that would
account for over 50% its profits in 2015-16. This should not only boost
but also sustain its earnings quality from secured power earnings.

We expect Banpus earnings to bottom

in 2014 and start to recover in
2015-16, driven by the earnings from
its Hongsa coal-fired power plant that
will start up in 2H15-2016. Its coal
earnings should remain profitable
despite the lower coal price
environment thanks to its cost control
capabilities at its coal mines. We
maintain Add and our SOP-based
target price of THB35.
Power drive
We believe that over the next three
years, Banpu will transform itself
from a coal-driven company to
power-driven company. Its three
drivers include the power plants in
Laos (COD in 2015-16), China (2017),
and the BLCP expansion in Thailand
(2018). When these three power
plants are completed, we estimate
that they could add THB6.1bn equity
income to Banpu by 2018 and
contribute THB6.5/shr in value to
Banpu from the total value of Banpus
assets of THB19/shr.
Near-term growth from coal

capacity expansion
from Gaohe mine (40% stake) and the

capacity expansion for its two power
plants in China.
Investment in power
near-term
Banpu has announced that it plans to
take up a 30% stake in a 1,200MW
coal-fired power plant, which will
consume the coal produced from its
own Gaohes mine. We believe this is
the right strategic move to strengthen
its earnings portfolio in order to
balance the downside risk for its coal
earnings amid the weak coal price
environment.
Limited downside, with power

upside
We believe Banpu has limited
downside at its current price backed
by a THB28/shr value, comprising its
power value of THB17.3/shr and the
coal reserve value of THB11/shr,
based on the value of coal reserves at
US$5/tonne for Banpus equity
reserve of 638mt as of Sep 14. We
project Banpus earnings from power
to account for 38-55% of its total
earnings in 2015-17.
Banpus earnings growth in 2015-17

will come from the capacity expansion

BEAUTY posted impressive 3Q14 SSSG, prompting us to raise our

FY14-16 EPS forecasts by 4-7%. Our DCF-based target price rises from
THB34.9 to THB37.5 (WACC: 10%, long-term growth: 3.5%), as we
roll over to an end-FY15 valuation. We expect BEAUTYs EPS growth to
gain momentum in 4Q14-FY15. Its share price is attractive at 26x FY15
P/E and 0.8x PEG, with solid financials and high ROE of 36%. We
maintain our Add rating on the stock. Key catalyst is EPS is strong
growth in 1H15, given the low base.
Investors should Add the stock. Our
DCF-based target price rises from
THB34.9 to THB37.5 (WACC: 10%,
long-term growth: 3.5%), as we roll
over to FY15 valuation. We project
BEAUTY EPS growth of 38% yoy in
FY14 and 32% yoy in FY15. The
companys EPS growth is expected to
be remarkable in 1H15, given the low
base.
Strong SSSG amid slow

economy
BEAUTY reported strong SSSG of
39.6% in 3Q14 (vs. retail sector
average of -1.9%), thanks to its
affordably-priced products attracting
low-to middle-income customers. A
cosmetic product is a relatively small
luxury, which is the reason that
cosmetic sales rise during periods of
economic downturn, in contrast to the
sales decline of other consumer
products. Furthermore, BEAUTYs
Beauty Buffet is incredibly popular
with Chinese tourists to Thailand.
This supported SSSG during the weak

Raising our FY14-16 EPS

forecasts
After incorporating BEAUTYs strong
SSSG of 19% yoy in 9M14, we raise
our SSSG assumptions from 9% to
19% for FY14 and introduce our 6%
SSSG forecast for FY15. However, we
lower our new branch estimate from
65 branches p.a. (Beauty Buffet: 30,
Beauty Cottage: 20 and Beauty
Market: 15) to 55 branches. The net
impact of our revisions lifts our
FY14-16 EPS forecasts by 4-7%.
Long term strategy

BEAUTYs sales in the long term could
be boosted by: 1) modern trade
channels 2) the launch of new
products, as the company targets to
increase the number of new products
by 20-30% p.a., 3) online channels.
The company also intends to build
another warehouse and install a new
IT system to improve inventory
turnover (expected to be completed in
late-2015).

A dead cat bounce?
CIMB Analyst(s)
BECs recent share price rally offers a profit-taking opportunity for

investors on the back of the expected intensifying price competition in
FY15 and viewership rating coming under pressure from the presence
of new players. We see a lack of re-rating catalysts in the near term.

We revise down our FY14-16 core EPS

by 7-11% due to intensifying
competition in digital terrestrial TV
market, but raise our target price,
based on a blend of P/E and DCF, by
6% as we roll it forward to FY15. We
maintain our Hold rating. Our
suggestion to bottom-fish the stock at
THB45 and take profit at above
THB52 worked out well. At THB55,
we think that it is demanding, and its
business outlook seems bleak due to
intensifying competition in the digital
terrestrial TV market.
A mild recovery
We expect BEC to recover its TV ad
revenue in FY15 on the back of the
economic recovery. We still believe
that BEC should be in a good position
to maintain its leadership in the TV
adex market vs. new players such as
RS, Work, etc. The viewership ratings
still suggest that BEC holds the mass
medium proposition, and should
therefore be able to maintain its TV ad
rate.
Cost management is key

launch a full programme line-up for
its SD variety digital terrestrial TV

channel in Mar-Apr 15. We suspect

that it would position this channel as
a fighting brand to compete with the
cheap ad rate of new players like RS,
Work, etc. However, we would be
concerned about the content cost
management and profitability of its
new channel, which could drag down
profitability in the initial phase.
Regulatory uncertainties
Although we believe that the NBTC
should waive additional regulatory
fees (4% of ad revenue) for BECs
simulcast of the analogue terrestrial
TV channel on the HD variety channel,
the legal dispute between BBTV and
the NBTC over BECs simulcast
exercise could be an overhang to the
NBTCs ability to waive the regulatory
fee charges for BEC.
Not attractive
BECs share price is trading at 19.5x
FY15 core P/E, which is on par with
its historical average core P/E of 20x.
We believe that BECs share price
could come under de-rating pressure
as the digital terrestrial TV landscape
has undermined BECs oligopolistic
privilege, its pricing power to raise its
ad rate and high profitability.

Focus on cost, not topline
CIMB Analyst(s)
BIGC has been focusing mostly on its supply chain developments and
cost-saving initiatives. Its expansion has been slow with sluggish
topline growth due to softer domestic demand. In our view, cost
savings alone will not be sufficient to generate long-term growth.

our forecasts, Reduce call and DCFbased target price of THB212 (WACC
10.5%, LTG 2%). Its 3-year EPS CAGR
stands at 13%. Until its small store
formats are proven to be successful,
we still question the companys ability
to generate growth to justify its
current valuation of 25.6x CY15 P/E.
Continued developments in
supply chain
With sluggish sales growth and the
shift of consumers preference away
from hypermarkets to convenient
stores, BIGC has focused on its supply
chain developments to reduce costs
and improve efficiency. This has paid
off with the achievement of margin
improvement in 2014, thus boosting
its earnings during a sales downturn.
After Mini Big C DC stores opened in
May and with fresh food DC stores to
open in 1Q15, we believe that BIGC
will benefit from margin uplifts in the
short term due to rebates received
from suppliers.
Shift towards small store

formats
hypermarket expansion, BIGC has

shifted its expansion plans to focus on
small store formats, i.e. Mini Big C
that targets top-up shopping and
competes neck-and-neck with Tesco
Lotus Express and 7-Eleven that has
also expanded its food product shelves
to serve the busier lifestyle of Thais.
Slowdown in expansion
BIGC continues to be cautious with its
expansion plans. The company has
not yet revealed its expansion plans
for 2015 and its target to achieve 950
Mini Big C stores by 2016 has been
postponed indefinitely. As at end3Q14, there were 316 Mini Big C
stores and we reckon that this is yet to
reach the level required to attain
economies of scale to generate
positive EBIT.
Pure cost savings will not be

enough
With the lack of clarity on its
expansion plans and questions over
the success rate of its small format
stores, we believe that the benefits
from its cost savings are already
priced in and hence, we reiterate our
Reduce rating.
With 123 hypermarket stores as at

end-3Q14 and limited potential for

Unlocking property assets
CIMB Analyst(s)
Besides benefiting from the nations mass rail transit (MRT) expansion,
BTS has also started to unlock its property assets i.e. JVs with Natural
Park (NPARK) and Sansiri (SIRI) which we think are positive moves.

BTS has financial strength, with over

THB26bn in cash and current
investments as at Sep 14. We keep our
Add rating and SOP-based target
price. Potential re-rating catalysts are:
1) clinching more O&M contracts, 2)
improved property earnings, 3) higher
contribution from subsidiary VGI
after its M&A deals, and 4) better
revenues from its services business
(cards and restaurants).
Good news for 1H15
BST has two major developments next

year. 1) Its 50:50 JV with Sansiri (SIRI
TB) is developing a 43-floor
condominium tower on 8,000 sq m of
land adjacent to the BTS Mo Chit
station. Presales for the project will
commence in Mar 15 and the
condominium units are expected to be
transferred to buyers in Mar 18. 2) BTS
has proposed to acquire via share swap
some 37% stake in NPARK, which is
developing commercial property in
Phaholyothin Road and Phayathai
Road worth THB8bn-10bn. The deal is
awaiting shareholder approval and is
likely to be completed in 1QCY15. We
think it is a win-win strategy through
which BTS will enhance its financial
position and earnings.

Current
Target
More good news to come
The current government is speeding up

the expansion of the nations MRT
network, with the aim of completing the
expansion by 2029. There will be 10
new lines. It is likely that there will be
direct negotiations with BTS for the
operation of two of the lines (northern
and southern extensions to the Green
Line). Civil works for the southern
extension
of
the
Green
Line
(Bearing-Samutprakarn) is progressing
well and the operator of the line should
be appointed by 1H15 in order to enable
the prompt commencement of its
operations in 2017. As for the northern
extension (Mo Chit-Khu Khot), bidding
for civil works is underway. The line
operator should be selected by late-2015
and it is expected to start operations in
2020. We believe BTS will most likely
clinch the two concessions.
Accumulate
We advocate that investors add BTS

before the abovementioned projects
materialise to get the most out of the
companys increased revenues from
property and O&M. Our model has
not factored in these projects, which
we believe will trigger a re-rating of
the stock. We maintain our Add call,
with a target price of THB11, based on
SOP valuation plus secured 6-8%
dividend yield in FY2015-6.

BH is a well-run, high-end hospital with elevated profit margins,

driven by the higher volume, favourable case mix index and decent
price hikes. Given its strong brand name, we expect BH to continue to
attract strong influx of foreign patients. Its new campus will not be
up-and-running until 2018.
The above factors should not come as
a surprise to the market, as
Bumrungrad Hospital (BH) trades at
above 40x CY15 P/E. However, we
believe that this is difficult to justify,
given its 11-16% EPS growth in
CY15-16. We reiterate our Reduce call,
with an unchanged target price of
THB125.0, based on 30x forward P/E
(1 s.d. above its 5-year mean).
De-rating catalysts could come from
weaker-than-expected recovery in
foreign patients.
Medical tourism magnet

BH is the medical tourism pioneer in
Thailand and foreign patients account
for over 60% of its revenue. We
believe that the ratio of foreign
patients will continue to rise gradually
as more patients from neighbouring
countries come to Thailand for
medical treatment. We expect foreign
patient volume growth to outpace that
of Thai patients.
However, BH may not benefit as
much from rising medical tourism as
its peers like BGH, as it only has one
campus.
Greater economies of scale,

higher margins
in patient volume, 5% healthcare

inflation and 2% increase in case mix
index, we believe that BHs revenue
will increase by 10% pa in FY14-16.
We believe that BHs profit margin
will continue to trend upwards in the
next few years. However, this should
not come as a surprise to the market,
as this has been the trend for the past
few years.
Petchburi campus likely to

open in 2018
BHs Petchburi campus is undergoing
redesign and Environment Impact
Assessment resubmission to obtain
maximum usable area of 78,200 sq m
from land measuring 8,200 sq m.
Petchburi is expected to be a 240-bed
tertiary
care
hospital.
The
construction is expected to start in
Sep 2015.
The land cost for the Petchburi
campus was around THB900m, while
the building and construction cost is
estimated at THB7bn. This translates
into
capex/bed
of
around
THB33m/bed (US$1m/bed). We do
not expect any earnings drag from its
new campus over the next few years.
Based on our estimates of 3% increase

We expect CPNs EPS to rise at a CAGR of 15% over FY14-16, driven by

continued domestic expansion, rising rental rates, high OR and
effective costs controls. We maintain Add rating and an SOP-based
target price of THB61. Overseas expansion and unlocking value of its
promising assets would boost its longer-term returns.
A dominant retail space developer in
Thailand (20% market share in BMA
and 50% in upcountry), CPN is well
positioned to benefit from the lifestyle
changes, urbanisation trend and a
favourable
demographic
profile.
Along with the improving growth
outlook and a stronger balance sheet,
CPNs valuation has become less
demanding, at 22x CY16 P/E (0.5 s.d.
below its 5-year mean of 30x).
Solid growth
We expect its EPS to rise 13-18% over

FY14-16, mainly driven by continued
new mall openings (nine new malls by
2016; up to 20 new malls by 2018)
expanding leasable area, continued
rental rate hikes (still above inflation),
contract renewals with higher rentals,
high occupancy rate (OR), first-mover
advantage in upcountry, and more
effective cost controls backed by
economies of scale. Meanwhile, plans
to expand to Malaysia would add a
revenue source in the near future.

Current
Target
CPNs
gearing
has
improved
significantly over the past few years,
falling from 1x in FY12 to 0.5x in 3Q14,
thanks to its successful fund raising
through property funds, lower
funding costs and improved core
business fundamentals. Undoubtedly,
CPNs 5-year business plan for
sustainable growth of 15% p.a. should
be well supported by its healthier
balance sheet and cash position.
Protected by potential
unlocking of value
There is intrinsic value in CPNs

existing assets (mainly shopping malls)
that has not been monetised yet. We
estimate this value to be at
THB45/share, based on the income
approach. This could be perceived as
downside protection for the share
price in the worst case scenario (share
price falls to no value; very unlikely),
while it also provides upside in the
best case scenario which could send
the share price up by around THB45.

Turnaround in tourism and food
CIMB Analyst(s)
CENTEL is poised to ride the recovery in tourism and consumer

consumption next year. With that, coupled with a low base, we expect
the company to post strong earnings growth in 2015. Its aggressive
expansion programmes will drive its earnings growth thereafter.

We reiterate our recently upgraded

Add call, with an unchanged target
price of THB38.50, based on 24x
CY16 P/E, its 4-year historical average.
We believe that a strong rebound in
tourist arrivals and a jump in
quarterly earnings will catalyse its
share price.
An 8% increase in Revpar in
2015
Recovery in its Bangkok hotels should
help improve its overall occupancy
rate. About 28% of its hotel rooms are
in Bangkok, another 65% in the
upcountry and the remaining 7%
overseas.
We expect CENTELs hotel occupancy
rate to improve from about 73% in
2014 to 75% next year and its Revenue
per available room (Revpar) to rise to
8% next year from -6% in 2014.
Its gross margin on the hotel business
is also expected to increase from
about 34% in 2014 to 36% in 2015.
Aggressive expansion on the

hotel business
CENTEL currently has 45 hotels in its
portfolio, with 15 either owned or via
JVs, and 30 under management
contracts. It plans to add another 32

hotels over the next few years, most of

which will be under management
contracts. 40% of the hotels in the
pipeline will be in Thailand and the
remaining 60% will be in other Asian
countries. This should lower the
concentration risk of its hotel
business.
As such, its hotel expansion plan will
not put much burden on its balance
sheet. We expect its net gearing to
decline to 75% by the end of next year
from about 90% currently.
Rationalisation of the food

business
After closing down 43 non-performing
food outlets in 2014, Centel plans to
close an additional 24 branches next
year, most of which are in the light
food category. Its network of food
outlets totalled 773 at end-2014 and
we expect the company to add about
80 outlets next year.
With the closure of non-performing
outlets,
CENTEL
expects
its
same-strong-sales growth (SSSG) to
increase from 1% this year to 3-4%
next year. Our estimates are more
conservative, at -1% and 0%,
respectively.

CK has grown through its involvement in many military projects and

we would not be surprised if it were awarded a larger slice of
government infrastructure projects than others. Its decent order
backlog should also alleviate concern over the slow progress of public
infrastructure launches.
We maintain our Add call and THB30
SOP target price. Although the
progress of government infrastructure
spending seems slow, we believe that
CK has the highest chance of winning
bigger contracts than others as it is
close to the current government.
Success in securing big contracts is
likely to catalyse its share price.
Comfortable order backlog of

THB92bn
CKs order backlog stands at
THB92bn, which is equivalent to 2.6
years of revenues. Given its close ties
with the current government, we are
not too concerned about its revenue
and backlog at this stage even though
its chairman recently guided for flat
revenue growth next year.
CK has secured only THB7.3bn
contracts in 9M14 due to political
problems in 1H14. We expect it to win
THB40bn p.a. in 2015 and 2016.
Half of its current backlog is in Laos,
i.e. the Xayaburi hydroelectric dam
project and the other half is in
Thailand. As CK has already handled a

number of projects in Laos, it is more

likely than others to get other large
hydroelectric dam projects there.
Improving earnings
visibility
Over the past five years or 20 quarters,
CK was in the red for five quarters. It
was largely due to volatile gross
margins and a high debt burden. We
believe that with benign building
material prices in 2015 and decent
margins, especially for overseas
projects, CK will be able to maintain
its double-digit gross margins over the
next couple of years.
1.8x net gearing

CKs net gearing is still high, at 1.8x at
the end of 3Q14. We note that the
market value of its investment in its
affiliates is in excess of THB23bn,
more than enough for CK to divest to
pay off its debt if the need arises.

CHG operates the largest hospital chain in the eastern part of Bangkok
and has the highest profit margin. This strongly reflects its competitive
strength while the recent amendments to Thailands Social Security
benefits should further boost its profitability. Moreover, it has the most
aggressive expansion plan, supported by its abundant cash in hand.
Despite our positive view on CHGs
growth in the long term, we believe its
share price is now demanding at 37x
FY15 P/E. As such, we maintain our
Reduce rating and DCF-based target
price of THB17.70 (WACC 7.40%,
LTG 3%). We prefer BGH, which
trades at a lower FY15 P/E of 31x, and
has comparable profit growth of
17-18% yoy.
Largest hospital chain in the

eastern part of Bangkok
CHG was established in 1986 and
currently operates 10 medical
facilities including three mid-size
hospitals (Chularat 3, 9 and 11) and
seven clinics. The CHG network has a
total of 386 beds (inpatient
department, IPD) and 87 medical
examination
rooms
(outpatient
department, OPD). CHG is a key
player in the low- to middle-income
market. All CHG medical facilities are
located near factories and industrial
estates. Therefore, its main target
groups are low- and middle-income

Current
Target
Ongoing expansion
Given CHGs high IPD and OPD
occupancy rate of 70% (vs. 50-60% of
its peers), we have a positive view on
its expansion plan for future growth.
The company plans to expand its IPD
and OPD capacities by increasing the
number of beds from 386 at end-2013
to 687 by end-2017 (+78%) and OPD
examination rooms (+82%) from 87
rooms to 159 rooms by 2017.

CHG has a strong balance sheet, with
more than THB1bn cash in hand, no
debt and generates THB400m-600m
cashflow per year, ample to support
its future M&As and expansion plans.
Management is guiding a capex of
THB1.89bn (construction cost of
THB1.54bn and renovation cost of
THB350m) for the next 3 years. We
believe CHG will not need to raise
capital.

Although CPALL was once believed to be economically resilient, it has

also been affected by weak domestic demand in 2014. Nevertheless,
long-term growth is still promising, supported by the companys
ability to cater to the rapid changes in its customers lifestyles that are
gravitating towards convenience in food, products and services.
We maintain our forecast and our
DCF-based target price of THB54.50
(WACC 8.79%, LTG 3%). We believe
in CPALLs long-term growth story,
fuelled by its expansion to cater to the
busier Thai lifestyle and its potential
margin improvements as it gears up
towards becoming the convenience
food store for Thais.
opened in 2014. Management aims to

add at least 600 7-Eleven stores p.a.
to reach its target of 10,000 stores by
2018. Meanwhile, Makro will continue
ramping up its expansion to at least 8
stores p.a., making it the largest retail
operator in Thailand.
Short-term turbulence
CPALLs earnings should be on the

uptrend starting from 3Q14. SG&A
expenses are set to decline as all of
Makros acquisition and financial fees
will be behind it. Both 7-Eleven and
Makro are leaders in their own
segments and we believe they could
ride through these stagnant periods
and emerge once again when
domestic demand picks up.
While SSSG is expected to remain

weak through 9M14 and continue to
face challenges in 4Q14, we believe in
the ability of CPALL to turn its SSSG
around to positive based on the
shifting of its product mix towards
ready-to-eat foods which also yield
higher margins. With its new
marketing campaigns and products
expected to swing SSSG to a positive
in 2015 and all its Makro-related
acquisition
expenses
already
accounted for in 3Q14, we expect
3Q14 to have been the bottom for
CPALLs earnings.

expansion with more than 650

Valuations not attractive yet
CIMB Analyst(s)
Although we like Deltas healthy balance sheet and ability to generate

stable positive FCF, we think the current valuation is not attractive
given the large price rally due to its inclusion in the MSCI Global
Standard Indices.

20.0
We maintain our Hold rating as the

stock is trading at 13.6x FY16 P/E or
1.7 s.d. above its 5-year mean, which
is not cheap. Our target price stays at
THB80 as we roll it forward to FY16
while keeping it pegged to 14x P/E, 2
s.d. above its mean.
Adjusting business mix

As Delta has experienced a slowdown
in the sales of certain products in the
ODM business, it is targeting to adjust
its ODM/regional business mix from
75:25 to 60:40 by 2023 in order to
diversify its product and geographical
risks. Given the potential demand for
telecom power and alternative energy
from the developing countries covered
by its regional business, we believe
Delta can capture growth in these
countries by integrating its knowledge
of power solutions with the provision
of after-sales service, helping to boost
its margins. The main markets for its
regional business are India (12%),
Slovakia (10%) and Brazil (4%).

Current
Target
Solid strong cash flow and

balance sheet
Deltas cash flow and balance sheet
are strong and we forecast the
company will be FCF positive. This
should enhance Deltas net cash
position and allow it to maintain its
decent dividend payments.
Potential acquisition to
support growth
Given Deltas strong net cash position,
we believe it will continue to seek
M&A opportunities to improve its
regional business, especially in the
alternative energy segment (2% of
revenue in 2013 to 10% in 2023). It
hopes to acquire an alternative energy
company with its own distribution
centre.
Not cheap
We think its recent price rally was due
to its surprise inclusion in the MSCI
Global Standard Indices. Delta is now
trading at 13.6x FY16 P/E or 1.7 s.d.
above its 5-year mean, which is not
cheap. Thus we maintain our Hold
rating.

News that WEH's major shareholder could be involved in a kidnapping

scam has sparked share price corrections across the Thai solar sector.
Demco, which owns 4% of WEH and is a major beneficiary of Demco,
saw the largest correction of 16%, which we think prices in the impact
of the cancellation of WEH's remaining wind farm projects.
However, Demco is one of Thailand's
leading EPC contractors for solar and
wind farms so there is a high
possibility that it will receive a 10%
market share of EPC work from
1.3GW of solar and 500MW of wind
farm projects. We maintain our Add
rating and SOP-based target price.
Near-term catalysts include earnings
from WEH's two highly-secure new
projects, Khaokor and Watabak.
Upside could turn into

downside from WEH
We previously calculated that based
on WEHs private placement (PP) of
3.2m shares at THB570/shr in Aug-14,
there is THB1.6bn upside to the value
of Demcos 4% stake, tripling the
value of Demcos stake in WEH from
THB800m to THB2.4bn. This could
translate into THB2.3/shr based on
the current outstanding shares of
692m or THB1.9/shr upside to
Demcos share price after factoring in
the PP.
Limited valuation downside

from WEH

founder and major shareholder, we

Current
Target
now believe that Demco could see

downside of up to THB6.8/shr,
comprising THB2.9/shr from Demco's
holdings in WEH's remaining wind
projects and THB3.8/shr from the
cancellation of WEH's wind farm
projects. We recommend investors
accumulate Demcos stock ahead of its
estimated strong earnings momentum
in 2015, which will not be affected by
the outcome for WEH. We believe
that the market has already penalised
Demco for losses from WEH's
remaining wind farm projects, which
we estimate to be THB2.9/shr.
Secured mid-term growth

We believe that Demco remains
attractive as a leading EPC contractor
for substations and transmission lines
for the solar and wind farms which
targeted for commercial operating
dates (COD) in 2015. In our view,
recurring income from its four wind
farm projects will continue to
generate
earnings
for
Demco,
regardless of the outcome of this
episode involving WEH's major
shareholder.

Although EAs 2014 results were undoubtedly solid, the 40% share
price run-up since our initiation in July leaves little room for upside.
Without additional growth from new solar capacity from the next
round of government bidding, we see greater downside risk given
potential project delays and its stretched valuation of 19x CY17 P/E.
We maintain our DCF-based target
price, which stays at THB25 (WACC
4.7%), our EPS forecasts and our
Reduce call given its rich valuation.
We believe its current price already
incorporates earnings growth from all
its solar and wind projects in its
pipeline. We also believe that EAs
chances of securing new solar and
wind farm capacities are low.
Financing risk
Strong outlook but priced in
Switch to Gunkul
We expect its earnings growth

momentum to continue in 2015 due to
seasonality
and
the
expected
completion of the 90MW solar farm in
Dec 14. This should drive earnings
growth of 80% in FY15. The expected
increase in gearing to fund its
aggressive capacity expansion will be
the key risk for the share price and
could limit its chances of securing the
new capacities for solar and wind
farms in 2015-16, scheduled to be
announced by the regulator by 1Q15.

Current
Target
The company plans to construct two

90MW solar power plants in 2014 and
2015. The investment budget for the
project is THB8.5bn for each plant.
Since the total investment required is
substantially high, the company may
not be able to finance the solar farm
projects according to the scheduled
timeline.
We recommend investors switch to
Gunkul given EAs limited upside
potential in the EPC business while
Gunkul is a key EPC company that is
well positioned to benefit from the
upcoming solar and wind farm
projects. Also, as EA focuses on
Thailand, we believe it is missing out
on the growth potential that
Thailands neighbouring countries
offer. Moreover, EAs P/E valuation is
higher than Gunkuls.

Strong chicken export demand from Japan and lower feed costs fuelled
GFPTs growth in 2014, allowing GFPT and its partners to export more
chicken. Higher exports, industry growth and low feed cost should
extend the positive trend for its earnings outlook.

We keep our FY14-16 EPS forecasts,

THB22.80 target price (CY16 P/E of
12x, 5-year historical average) and
Add rating. The anticipated share
price catalysts are stronger gross
profit margins due to healthy chicken
selling prices and a drop in feed cost
given the glut in the soybean market.
Promising outlook
GFPT has reaped the benefits of
Japans lifting of its ban on Thai
frozen chicken imports. Its export
volumes grew by 21% in 9M14, while
its partners chicken processing plants
showed 60% growth. Given that
Japan used to import up to 200,000
tonnes of frozen chicken from
Thailand annually, Thai export
volumes are projected to rise by 7% in
FY14 or by approximately 40k tonnes.
The growth for the industry remains
positive. According to Thai Broiler
Processing Exporters Association,
Thai export volumes are expected to
continue rising by 7% in FY16. Also,
management

Current
Target
return to the 200,000-tonne level

within three years. We expect the
chicken volume to increase by 5-10%,
helped by its debottlenecking plan for
the breeder farm.
Strong margin intact

While higher demand should sustain
chicken prices, the lower feed cost will
boost its profitability. The slowdown
in the price of corn, which accounts
for 40% of total chicken cost, will
drive up gross margin from 4Q14
onwards. Moreover, the dampened
soybean outlook due to the oversupply
in the US will lead to lower soybean
meal (SBM) prices, which dropped
10% mom in Oct 14. As SBM accounts
for 30% of total chicken cost, we
believe GFPTs gross profit margin
picked up from a low of 13% in 3Q14
and will remain healthy at around 15%
until 1H15.
Undemanding price
GFPT appears cheap at 10x FY16 P/E
compared to its historical mean of
12x.

Key loser from lower oil price
CIMB Analyst(s)
We believe GLOW remains an unattractive power play given that its

earnings growth momentum will slow after peaking in 2014, while
potential upside from the new coal-fired power plant bidding is remote
and unlikely to come anytime soon. Its earnings from SPP will also
decline following the sharp drop in oil prices.

We maintain our Reduce call and

DCF-based target price of THB97
(WACC 5.6%). While we think GLOW
should continue to post decent
earnings in 2015 on the back of the
better performance of Gheco-One, we
think its share price has already
priced in the possible upside. The only
potential surprise upside, in over view,
is a special dividend payment that
could lift its yield to 7% and expected
to be announced in 2H15.
Peaking growth in 2014

With Gheco-One resuming its normal
operations in 3Q14, GLOW is now
reverting to posting stronger annual
earnings of above THB9bn. However
its earnings growth will start to die
down in 2016-17, and we see little
chance of securing more growth
within the next three years.
Key loser from lower oil

price
Unlike its IPP-driven peer RATCH,
GLOW will start to see its earnings
growth from SPP slow due to the
lower tariff that is linked to the oil
price-driven industry tariff pool. This
alone could result in an earnings
downside of up to 10% if oil prices
stay below US$90/bbl for a long

period of time.
Special dividend is the only

share price supporter
Although GLOW generally lacks
catalysts due to its lacklustre earnings
growth, we believe share price
downside is also limited given that
there is a good chance it will pay a
high special dividend of up to a 100%
pay out that should lead to a 7%
dividend yield. This is made possible
by its strong cash flow generation
from existing facilities and the
investment slowdown without any
major expansion on the horizon.
Switch to RATCH
We recommend a switch from GLOW
to RATCH given that: 1) RATCH has
superior growth momentum over the
next two years from its Hongsa
coal-fired power plant vs. GLOWs
lack of new capacity; and 2) RATCH
has a higher chance of winning more
capacity overseas, particularly the
countries neighbouring Thailand,
thanks to its solid ties with the
Electricity Generation Authority of
Thailand (EGAT).

Gunkul's earnings outlook remains attractive, with the 100MW solar

farm and 50MW wind farm projects that are expected to be secured
and announced by Feb 15 as re-rating catalysts. Even without this,
Gunkul is attractive for its earnings growth ahead on the back of
secured wind farm projects and EPC backlog for renewable energy.
The share prices of all stocks in the
Thai solar and wind sectors declined
following news that Wind Energy
Holding's (WEH) major shareholder
was accused by police of being
involved in a kidnapping. This offers a
great buying opportunity as Gunkul
has no relationship with WEH. We
reiterate our Add rating and target
price of THB32, based on the average
of our DCF and SOP valuations
(WACC 6.8%).
Gunkul's strong earnings growth

momentum will be driven by 1) solid
backlog for solar and wind farm
projects in 2015-16, including its own
two wind farms, which have total
capacity of 120MW, and a 10% market
share in a 1.3GW solar farm that is
expected to be completed by the end
of 2015, and 2) higher recurring
equity and dividend incomes from
solar farm and gas engine projects.
An outperforming firm
During our one-day NDR in Taiwan in

early Dec, Gunkul's management
clearly stated that there would be
significant potential earnings upside
from the upcoming 100MW solar
farm and 50MW wind farm. The new
solar and wind farms will raise
Gunkul's total capacity from 44MW in
2014 to 329MW in 2017.
Gunkul's earnings have not only met

our higher-than-consensus forecasts
for FY14-15 but should also surpass
our and consensus earnings forecasts
for FY16-17. The outperformance will
be driven by the completion of its
wind farm project, which is targeting
a commercial operating date (COD) of
4Q15, and the potential increase in
engineering,
procurement
and
construction (EPC) work from its core
equipment sales.

More growth prospects
Buy on weakness
We believe that concerns about
possible negative reactions to WEH's
major shareholder have nothing to do
with Gunkul. So, we suggest investors
buy on weakness ahead of earnings
growth momentum in FY15-17.

Upside limited
CIMB Analyst(s)
Given its weak presales and backlog, HEMRAJs outlook over FY15-16
seems unexciting. Moreover, we believe WHA Corps acquisition of at
least 50% stake HEMRAJ it is more value-accretive for WHA than for
the company in the near and longer term.

We keep our EPS estimates. As its

utilities business and contribution
from
GHECO
One
are
well
communicated to the market, we see
limited upside surprise for HEMRAJ.
Potential disposal of its non-core
assets after its merger with WHA
could dampen its NAV in the near
term. Given the limited upside, we
maintain our Hold rating and target
price, based on 12x CY16 P/E (close to
5-year mean).
In a transition
HEMRAJ is in process of being taken

over by WHA, a leading developer of
logistics warehouses in Thailand. WHA
will acquire at least 50% stake in
HEMRAJ at THB4.5 per share The
SPA for the 22.5% stake held by
HEMRAJs major shareholders should
be executed by 31 Dec. WHA plans to
conclude its capital increase by 28 Feb
2015 and launch tender offers to the
general public thereafter. The entire
acquisition should be completed by 31
Mar 2015. HEMRAJ will stay listed
with its existing management team
intact, while its key founder Mr. Sawad
Hua-Rungrueng, will retire.

Current
Target
Benefit uncertain, outlook

shaky
We see more value enhancement for

WHA than for HEMRAJ from the deal.
HEMRAJs business will remain the
same while some of its non-core
assets (office building MU Tower and
300-rai of land on Koh Lan Island)
are likely to be divested, shrinking its
NAV. Organic growth from leveraging
WHAs warehouse expertise will take
time, in our view. On the other hand,
WHA will benefit from the deal
immediately e.g. the booking of
shared
income
and
valuation
enhancement from the investment in
HEMRAJ from an SOP perspective.
Given HEMRAJs poor land sales this
year and weak backlog, its FY15
outlook looks lacklustre. It has cut its
FY14 land presales target to 800 rai
(the second quarter of cuts in a row)
from an initial target of 1,400 rai.
Not a place to be in
We still prefer residential property

stocks (lower valuation at 9x CY16 P/E
vs. HEMRAJs 11x CY16 P/E, higher
yields of 4-5%) to industrial estate
stocks. The 10M14 BOI/FDI trend has
not shown a sustainable recovery
which
suggests
for
HEMRAJs
challenging industrial land presales,
revenue and earnings outlook.

Bridging the future with Ichitan
CIMB Analyst(s)
ICHItan (ICHI) is the leader in the ready-to-drink (RTD) green tea market in
Thailand, thanks to its fast-growing sales. Now ICHI is ready for larger-scale
production, increase productivity and overseas expansion. We believe it will
achieve 22.2% revenue CAGR and 18.0% net profit CAGR in FY15-17.

We raise EPS by 2% in FY16 but lower

EPS by 17% in FY15 to reflect the
mixed results of developments over
the next two years. On the positive
side, revenue will be driven by: 1)
capacity expansion, 2) Bireley brand
relaunch, and 3) business expansion
in Indonesia. On the negative side,
there are key risks from: 1) possible
imposition of 20% excise tax on RTD
green tea in 2Q15 onwards, and 2)
initial losses from its operations in
Indonesia. We call Add with
THB26.70 target price based on 20.7x
CY16 P/E.
Raise FY15-16 revenue

estimates for bright outlook
ICHIs expansion plan for 2015-16
comprises three aspects: 1) 40%
increase in production capacity. It
aims to expand its customer base for
Ichitan ready-to-drink (RTD) green
tea and Yen Yen herbal drink, 2)
market expansion by relaunching
Bireley drinks brand in 1Q15, and 3)
overseas expansion, with operations
in Indonesia slated to begin in 2Q15.
As such, we raise our FY15-16 revenue
forecasts by 16-19%.
Factor in excise tax
(of 10-20%) on green tea drinks. As

the new tax is likely to take effect in
FY15, we have imputed the negative
impact of the 20% levy on ICHIs
costs in 2Q15 onwards. In order to
cope with the tax, ICHI has adjusted
its green tea formula to comply with
the requirements for tax exemption,
increased
Yen
Yen
sales
contribution (45% of total revenue in
9M14), and implemented strict cost
controls. Based on our estimates, the
higher tax expense will lower net
profit by 16.5% in FY15. However, net
profit is expected to improve in FY16,
driven by stronger sales and better
operations.
Bright future opportunities

ICHI is still our preferred stock due to
its outstanding growth as well as
additional upside from selling
Bireley products and we believe the
Indonesian market offers ample
opportunity for ICHI to boost both
sales and profit and is also a good
platform to expand into other
countries and AEC. We project more
visible growth in the next few years
after the company successfully builds
brand awareness and a new factory in
Indonesia.
The biggest risk to ICHIs earnings is

the possible imposition of excise tax

CIMB Analyst(s)
While IVLs margins will only recover meaningfully in 2016, M&As

should help drive up EBITDA by 20% and volume by 25% next year.
Volume growth and margin expansion are the key share price drivers
from 2016 onwards, in our view.

We expect IVLs share price to rerate

from its bottom at current level driven
by M&A, volume growth, and margin
expansion in 2014-16. Its near-term
M&A growth will be funded by its
recent perpetual bond that should
help reduce its debt burden and
sustain its growth target in the next
upcycle. We maintain Add and our
target price of THB33, based on 11x
CY16 EV/EBITDA (o.5 s.d. below its
5-year historical average) to reflect its
slow PTA margin recovery.
Growth strategy remains on

track
IVLs earnings growth strategy is
driven 1) in the near-term (2015) by
volume growth of 6% yoy, lower JV
losses and M&As, leading to core
earnings growth of 95% yoy; and 2) in
the medium-term (2016-17) by
margin expansion for PTA and PET.
M&A growth in 2015

The key driver will be earnings growth
of 20% from four M&A deals that
should be completed by 1Q15 and will
add volume growth of 25%. These four
M&A deals worth US$1bn fuelled
investor concerns over funding issues

Upside underestimated
We believe the earnings upside from
the
M&A
deals
remain
underestimated by the market and
should be a key driver for its share
price over the next six months. The
concerns over funding for M&As are
overdone given IVLs recent success in
raising perpetual bonds worth
THB15bn to reduce its net debt to
equity to 0.8x, down from 1.3x.
Buy ahead of growth

Buy ahead of its solid earnings growth
momentum in 2015-17. The earnings
upside from M&As could offer
near-term surprises, while both
organic and inorganic expansion
plans will act as earnings growth
drivers post 2015. We believe
downside is limited backed by IVLs
replacement value of THB20/shr.

and return on the acquired assets.

Potential re-rating catalysts should
emerge by 2Q15 when all four M&A
deals are completed and they are
likely to continue being the key
earnings growth driver post-2015.

Intouchs share price is trading at a 24% discount to its market-based

NAV of THB95, deeper than the historical average of 15%. It offers a
7.8% FY15 dividend yield vs. 5.5% for AIS and is trading at 12.7x FY15
P/E vs. 18.3x for AIS. This attractive risk/reward pay-off affirms our
Add rating and our preference for Intouch over AIS.
Intouchs acquisition of a loss-making
digital terrestrial TV broadcaster
could help to strengthen the groups
convergence platform in light of AISs
mobile
broadband
and
fixed
broadband businesses. We maintain
our estimates, Add rating and target
price, based on a 15% holding
discount to NAV.
which has proven to be too expensive.

We also think that Intouch now has
the upper hand in acquiring or
partnering with the many DTTV
broadcasters. At the right price, we
will be positive on any form of
partnership or acquisition as this
should bring in synergies and
strengthen its convergence strategy.
Negative correlation with

junta plans
Spectrum auction delay
We note that Intouchs share price

performance negatively correlates
with the junta governments plans.
This time, the market is becoming
increasingly concerned about the
non-democratic governments digital
economy policy, which aims to
introduce a new regulatory structure
and centralise the telecom authority
within the government. This could
lead to delays in spectrum auctions,
the national satellite project, etc.
Shopping time
We are impressed by the companys
financial and professional discipline
in backing off from the competitive
bidding for the DTTV channel licence,

Current
Target
Intouchs stock could face selling

pressure if the NBTC fails to proceed
with the plan to hold the spectrum
auction in Jul-Aug 15 for whatever
reason. When the spectrum auction
was delayed in 2010, Intouchs share
price fell by 8%.
National satellite project

Although this is not the first time the
military government has proposed
operating its own satellite for the sake
of national security, all attempts have
failed to take off due to 1) an
unjustifiable business case, and 2) the
junta governments truncated terms.
Thaicoms concession irregularity
issues may not be resolved easily as it
could be politicised.

A strong order backlog, the prospect of getting more public

infrastructure projects and tame building material prices suggest
bright prospects for ITD. But the real issue is its margins and earnings
visibility, both of which are poor.

The recent surge in ITDs share price

following a share placement to
individuals and local institutions is
not unexpected. But we do not want to
be left holding the bag. We do not
think that its current CY15 P/E of 53x
is justified. We, therefore, reiterate
our Reduce call with an unchanged
target price of THB5.25 (CY14 P/BV
of 1.9x, 5-year historical average).
2.6x net gearing after

placement
Even though ITD recently raised
THB2.1bn via a private placement of
419.4m shares at THB5.05 each, its
net gearing is still high at 2.6x (3.0x
before placement). Should ITD issue
the remaining approved shares of
591.3m to its shareholders at
THB5.05 each, it would raise about
THB3bn, bringing down its net
gearing to 2.2x, which is still high.
If it wants to reduce its net gearing to
1x, it needs to raise an additional
THB20bn. Therefore, more cash calls
cannot be ruled out.
Benign environment
six years of revenue, the highest

among the major contractors in
Thailand. This means that even if the
Thai government is slow in rolling out
new infrastructure projects, it should
not be a serious concern for ITD.
Building material prices have been
stable, with both steel and cement
price indices sliding 2% YTD. We do
not expect them to rise significantly
next year as the global economy still
looks soft in 2015.
Weak earnings visibility

Over the past five years or 20 quarters,
ITD reported losses half of the time
despite tame building material prices
and a strong order backlog. Therefore,
even though we believe that building
material prices will stay benign in
2015, it is not a guarantee that ITD
will generate decent profits.
The culprits were volatile margins and
various provisions. Though we do not
expect ITD to lose money over the
next few years, its ROE would be low
at around 5-6%, which do not justify
its 53x CY15 P/E or 2.7x CY15 P/BV.
ITD has a strong order backlog of

THB295bn, equivalent to more than

We are confident that Jasmines share price will rally massively in the
next three months on the back of 1) IFF listing progress, 2) more
aggressive capital management, and 3) the negligible impact of AISs
entry into the FBB market. We maintain our estimates, DCF-based
target price (10% WACC) and Add rating.
Given the IFFs THB30bn-65bn size,
the listing should add 11-38% to our
target price. We also expect Jasmine
to improve its disclosure policy and
corporate governance, using the deal
road show as an opportunity to
commit to the investment community.
If it can deliver on both counts, we
expect its share price to rally and its
foreign holding to rebound to 35-40%
vs. below 30% currently.
IFF listing is underway

After a years wait, the SEC has finally
approved the companys IFF listing
plan. We expect the IFF IPO to take
place in Dec 14 or 1Q15, depending on
market sentiment. We estimate the
listing,
given
the
IFFs
THB30bn-65bn size, to lead to
THB1-3 in net incremental DCF per
share after subtracting the IPO fee,
tax and its holding stake from the
proceeds from the asset spin-off.
Improving corporate
governance?
We believe market forces will work to
compel Jasmine to improve its
corporate governance, especially its
disclosure. This will be an important
milestone that should revive its

trustworthiness and help it gain more

traction among institutional investors.
Plenty of room for all FBB

operators to grow
Given a 25% FBB penetration rate, we
see room for the FBB market to grow,
especially in the provincial market
where the rate is below 15%. The
market was relieved after CTH
decided to back off from the FBB
business after reporting huge losses in
pay TV. Also, we are not worried
about AISs entry into the FBB market,
at least for the next 2-3 years, as it is
targeting only 0.3m FBB subscribers
in FY15. It is also focusing on the
high-value urban segment and
positioning its service as premium.
Low risk from the national

broadband project
We are not concerned about the
military governments plan to launch
a national broadband network as it
takes time to roll out a new FBB
network. Also, it will be difficult to
consolidate the networks of TOT, CAT,
EGAT, PEA and MEA. Besides, the
SOEs lack the capability to serve the
mass retail segment.

We are positive on JUBILEs business outlook in view of its leading

position in the diamond jewellery retail business and its ability to
maintain market share, thanks to its strong competitive advantages.
We expect SSSG of 13-15% per year, with its aggressive branch
expansion supporting its solid growth prospects.
We reiterate our Add call and DCFbased target price of THB42 (WACC
7.8%, LTG 3.15%). We project 36%
net profit CAGR over the next three
years, underpinned by aggressive
branch expansion (+23% p.a. to 200
outlets) and strong SSSG (>10% p.a.).
Trading at 20x FY15 P/E (vs. retail
sectors 26x) and high ROE of 35%,
JUBILE looks attractive. Its robust
growth outlook and likely strong 4Q
are potential re-rating catalysts.
Competitive advantage
JUBILE is the largest diamond

jewellery retailer in the country with
more than 114 branches nationwide.
This is miles ahead of the second
player, PRANDAs Prima Diamond,
which only has 39 branches. JUBILE's
vast network allows the company to
gain competitive advantages through:
1) strong bargaining power over
suppliers, 2) opportunities to select
better locations in department stores,
and 3) effective brand-building and
marketing strategies.

Current
Target
Solid financials to boost

growth
We project revenue CAGR of 32% and

net profit CAGR of 36% over the next
three years. This growth rate is
expected to outpace the overall
market (5-7%) given that JUBILE will
increase its market share (thanks to
its annual SSSG of 15%) and it aims to
expand its network to 200 branches
by 2016 (+23%). Moreover, with its
successful brand-building strategy, we
believe that JUBILE will be able to
keep its existing customers while
attracting new customers. Our view is
confirmed by its ticket sales growth of
10%+ per year. Meanwhile, its strong
financials with zero-debt are sufficient
to fund its ambitious expansion plan.
Swift rebound
JUBILEs net profit had grown yoy

every quarter since the company was
listed on MAI on 9 Nov 2009, except
during times of crises in 4Q13 (flood
crisis) and 1Q14 (political turmoil). It
has also managed to rebound swiftly
after each crisis. Moreover, despite
3Q14 being a weak quarter for most
retailers, JUBILE still posted strong
SSSG of 10% yoy during the quarter
(vs. negative growth by its peers).

Beautiful as she is
CIMB Analyst(s)
KBANK reported strong earnings even in a tough economic

environment. We believe that it will be able to maintain its
performance in FY15 with its built-to-suit core banking services.
KBANK is one of our favorite Thai banks due to superior growth and
ROE compared to its peers.

Upon transfer of coverage, we

upgrade our rating to Add from Hold,
and raise our GGM-based target price,
based on 2.27x FY15 P/BV, assuming
19% long-term ROE and 12.3% COE.
We expect KBANKs EPS growth to be
driven by robust loan growth and
non-interest income growth.
Resilient growth
Key investment theme for FY15 is a
play on cross-border trade and SME
customers who are involved in
government investment projects. Its
sizable SME portfolio of 38% will
propel its FY15 loan growth to 10%,
according to our estimate. The bank
will be less impacted by the stretched
household debt (vs. SCB), as retail
loans account for only 26% of
KBANKs portfolio. We expect
non-interest income growth of 17%
which will be boosted by its
cross-selling
efforts
and
hefty
insurance business income, driven by
the
successful
K-Transformation
project which will enhance its sales
force capabilities. We are not worried
about its future operating expenses as
the project is nearly complete.

Current
Target
Outlook
KBANK is expected to sustain
resilient growth in both lending and
non-lending businesses. Amid weak
domestic consumption, KBANK plans
to target banking demand in
Thailands border provinces such as
Udon Thani, Nakhon Phanom and
Tak. It has built up strong banking
networks in these markets which will
enable it to capture market share.
Also, the banks financial targets for
FY15 are not beyond achievable given
the
current
macroeconomic
conditions. KBANK manages its
net-interest margin well by not
sacrificing loan yields to create alpha
lending growth. It plans to keep its
credit cost at 100bp in FY15, and build
up an NPL buffer. As such, its
loan-loss-reserve ratio will inch up to
169.5%.
Deserves rich valuations

Our Add call is based on KBANKs
outstanding growth along with a
convincing risk-reward trade-off. In
terms of P/BV-to-ROE, KBANK is
now cheaper compared to SCB.

We expect KCE to post 23.5% EPS CAGR during FY14-16 given 1) solid
demand growth in automotive PCB products, and 2) market share
gains via competitive pricing and the sale of prepreg and copper clad
laminate outside the KCE group.

Its new factory, featuring advanced

production processes that can
improve its gross profit margin in the
long term, will begin operations in
1Q15. KCE remains our top pick in
the Thailand technology component
sector given its strong growth and
cheap valuations compared to its
local peers. We maintain our Add
call and roll our target price to
THB49, based on 11x FY16 P/E (1 s.d.
above the industry mean).
Solid revenue outlook

KCEs production is currently
running at 100% utilisation. In spite
of this, we assume KCEs new factory
will deliver 16% revenue CAGR
during FY14-16, driven by 1) strong
demand for automotive PCB, 2)
ramp-up of orders from existing
customers, and 3) market share
gains given competitive pricing and
high quality standards.

rise 22.4% in FY15, 18.3% in FY16

and 10.3% in FY17 from the current
capacity of 2.34m sq ft per month.
The plant is equipped with new
machines that could reduce the cost
of PCB production in the long term.
We are positive about the potential
for improvement, judging by the
widening in profit and operating
margins
when
management
renovated the KCE Technology
factory and significantly enhanced
the production process post the
floods.
Expect to gain more market

share
KCE currently has about 6% of the
automotive PCB market. It plans to
expand its slice of the pie via 1)
competitive pricing, and 2) providing
customers a choice other than China.
Top pick in the sector

We maintain our Add rating given
that it is the cheapest stock, based on
P/E valuation, among peers but
which offers solid earnings growth.

We expect KTB to deliver resilient earnings on the back of its

transformation programme, which will enable it become a full-service
financial institution vs. a traditional state-owned bank now. Its
stronger balance sheet should gradually close the valuation gap with
its larger peers.
Upon transfer of coverage, we expect
that its FY15-16 core earnings growth
will be driven by stronger-than-peers
credit growth and non-interest
income growth. Our GGM-based
target price is based on 1.57x FY15
P/BV, assuming 16% long-term ROE
and 12.4% COE. We maintain our Add
rating.
Change for a better future

We believe that KTBs management is
capable of upscaling the banks
operational improvement in SME and
retail banking segments. However, it
may take 2-3 years to see the full
benefits of the transformation
programme. KTB has the capability to
push up its cross-selling efforts and
non-interest income streams. We
expect the banks non-interest income
to resume growth in FY15 after the
closure of Vayupak fund in FY13.
Furthermore, KTB is keen to raise its
lending business exposure to the
private sector and high-yield retail
customers rather than lending large
amounts to state-owned enterprises
with low yields. KTB is more active in
the retail segment and encourages

Outlook
Over the last three years, KTBs
balance sheet has become stronger
with a healthier loan-loss-reserve
ratio of 124.8% in FY14. While the
management
has
guided
for
THB700m/month provisioning, it
always sets aside more-than-required
given its strong performance. Its NPL
is at a manageable level and should
not be worrisome to investors due to
the stringent credit approval criteria.
We forecast FY15 loan growth of 9%
on the back of accelerated government
investments. In our view, its
cost-to-income ratio will be retained
at 43% in FY15 as the transformation
programme does not demand huge
investments.
Stay invested
KTB is one of our favourite Thai banks
due to its compelling valuation and a
high dividend of 4.6%. We advise
investors to stay invested in the stock.

We continue to rate LH a Hold given its limited earnings upside as its

4Q14 results are unlikely to be exciting. FY14-15 earnings growth could
be inferior to peers due to slower topline growth and limited upside for
margins. We trim our target price as we roll it forward while cutting
the target P/E from 18x to 15x (1 s.d. above 5-year mean)
We keep our EPS estimates which do
not factor in any one-off gains from
asset sales or divestment of LHBANK.
We believe that the LHBANK news
has been well communicated to the
market and is, hence, in the price.
No exceptional gains in FY14

but possible in FY15
Special gains from asset sales to a
REIT are unlikely this year but will be
pushed to 1Q15. The REIT, which will
focus on assets from a retail shopping
complex, is likely to be set up in 1Q15,
at the earliest. Net gains from asset
sales are estimated at THB1bn-1.2bn
but this is well known by the market,
in our view, as the news has been
around for a few years.
Tame outlook for FY14-15

Compared with its peers average
prospective EPS growth of 16% to 22%
in FY14-15, LHs growth is likely to be
far less exciting, at 6-11%. Its FY16

Current
Target
outlook is even duller, with earnings

likely to grow 8-9% vs. the peer
average of more than 18%. Even
though SDH products have helped
LHs blended gross margin improve
significantly to 36-37% in past year,
we see limited upside. For LHs
earnings
to
expand
more
meaningfully, its condo gross margins
of 28% need to grow faster to at least
the peer average of 30-32%.
Rich valuations
Although it is a proxy for the property
sector given its large market
capitalisation, LHs valuations are
quite demanding, at 14-15x CY15-16
P/E. We believe its growth prospects
are not compelling enough to justify
its hefty premium over peers, which
are trading at 9-10x average P/E for
FY15-16.

We maintain our Add call on LPN, given the promising share price and
earnings upside. We retain our target price of THB29.8 based on 12.5x
CY16 P/E (1 s.d. above 5-year mean). Potential near-term catalysts are
recovery in 4Q14 presales and earnings

We keep our EPS estimates

unchanged. Given our FY15 revenue
lock-in rate estimate of 96% thanks to
its solid backlog, higher margin and
intact gearing, LPN is still a
high-quality long-term investment,
with decent returns (including yields).
Earnings rebound in FY15

We project FY14s EPS will decline
10%, before recovering in FY15
(expected 44% EPS growth), thanks to
highly-secured revenue backed by a
solid backlog (96% locked in), and
higher gross margin. As our FY15-16
revenue assumptions are lower than
LPNs guidance, earnings upside
potential cannot be ruled out. Net
margin is expected to rise from 15% in
FY14 to 18% in FY15-16.
Still upbeat targets

LPN has retained its FY14 presales
target of THB20bn despite the 71%
lock-in rate in 9M14, which means
that another THB5.8bn is needed to
meet its FY14 target. LPN plans to
launch four new condo projects (two
in Cha-am) and relaunch LPN
Township Rangsit-Klong 1, which
have a combined value of THB8bn. Its
finished inventory available for sale
amounted to THB5.8bn at end-3Q14.

Current
Target
LPN kept its FY14 condo sales target

at THB13.6bn, of which 9M14 formed
57%. The balance should come from
its 4Q14 backlog of THB3.5bn and the
aforementioned finished inventory
available for sale. Total backlog was
THB21.3bn at end-3Q14 (THB3.5bn
for
4Q14
revenue
recognition,
THB16bn for FY15 and THB1.9bn for
FY16). Despite the slow transfers in
9M14, net gearing was well contained
at 0.6x. LPN has guided for FY15
presales of THB22bn and revenue of
THB18bn, as well as revenue of
THB20bn in FY16 and THB22bn in
FY17.
Quality investment returns

Stay invested in LPN for its secure
EPS growth of 44% in FY15 and 17%
in FY16. Although LPNs 12x CY15 P/E
and 10x CY16 P/E valuations appear
demanding and are at a premium to
peer averages of 10x CY15 P/E and 9x
CY16 P/E, we believe that LPNs
premium is justified, given its healthy
balance sheet, efficiency-driven, high
ROE of above 20%, and decent yields
of 4-5%.

Good but too expensive
CIMB Analyst(s)
We are positive on Majors dominant position in the cinema business in

Thailand, which has benefited from the urbanisation in provincial
areas. However, the stock price looks too demanding at this level as we
do not expect the mild economic recovery and falling agricultural
prices to boost cinema consumption in FY15. Maintain Hold.

We maintain our FY14-16 core EPS

forecasts but raise our target price by
31% to THB24.38, based on a blend of
P/E and DCF, as we roll it forward.
The stock trades at 22x FY15 P/E,
which is 1.5 s.d. above its five-year
historical average. We think that any
good news should be largely in the
price, but we do not rule out the IPO
of SFX, the second-largest cinema
operator,
which
could
spur
competitive intensity in the market.
Aggressive screen expansion

in FY15
Major added 40 new screens in FY14,

which was below the target of 60-70,
due to the political uncertainty in
1H14. Management believes that
retailers will resume their aggressive
branch expansion in second- and
third-tier provinces in FY15, and
Major could tag along on the
expansion cycle. However, news about
the exit of Tesco from international
markets could also affect the pace of
branch expansion for retailers.

Current
Target
More attractive blockbusters

in FY15
Management is confident that

blockbusters in FY15, i.e. Avengers,
Furious 7, Star Wars, look more
attractive than those in FY14, which
should also boost Majors cinema
revenue (admissions, concessions and
advertisements). Major still has a
good chance of improving the quality
and quantity of local films, and should
leverage the higher number of screens,
particularly in provinces where
consumers prefer local content to
international films. Although we are
comfortable with the decent movie
consumption in major cities, we are
increasingly concerned about the
demand in provinces as the provincial
economy will be softer than cities due
to the falling agricultural prices, i.e.
paddy rice, rubber, cassava, etc.
Too expensive
Although we are positive on Major as

1) it has the largest market share
position, 2) it is a first-mover in
second- and third-tier provinces and 3)
there is room for improving the local
film industry, we think that the stock
is too pricey at 22x FY15 core P/E,
which is 1.5 s.d. above its five-year
historical average.

2015 will be challenging for MC as sales depend largely on domestic

consumption, especially upcountry (around 65% of total revenue),
where purchasing power is eroding due to weak farm prices. With no
sign of recovery in the near term, we project FY15 EPS growth of only
10% yoy. However, its 5% DPS yield is attractive and it has no debt.
We reiterate Hold and our target price
of THB17.10 (17x FY15 P/E, 1 s.d.
below the sectors mean). Next year,
MC will likely suffer from slower sales
at its sales counters in department
stores and the modern trade (SSSG
plunged 30% in 9M14) as purchasing
power has been weak and this
distribution channel is losing its
popularity. As such, we project flat
SSSG in 2015.
Cut in expansion plan

MC initially planned to open 100 new
branches every year but the
slower-than-expected consumption,
coupled with a steep decline in SSSG
from modern trade, has forced the
company to lower its target to 70
branches. However, we believe this
move is positive given that MC should
focus on boosting sales and
generating economies of scales from
its existing 680 stores. Nevertheless,

Current
Target
Intensifying competition
Competition in the retail industry is
intensifying
amid
the
weak
consumption, forcing existing players
to introduce more discount campaigns.
MC is no exception and the company
may have to sell products at a
discount, which will put pressure on
margins. Note that MC currently has
40% market share.
Maintain Hold for DPS and

MCs price seems to be undemanding
at 15.7x FY15 P/E (retail sector 26x).
Despite its attractive DPS yield of 5%,
we maintain Hold due to its
unexciting EPS growth.

CIMB Analyst(s)
We hope the new CEO is able to rejuvenate MCOTs competitiveness as

a TV incumbent and monetise its hidden assets in a more efficient way.
The stock has plunged 54% in the past four quarters, and we do not see
any near-term re-rating catalyst. Maintain Hold.

MINT will not only benefit from tourism recovery in Thailand, it will
also profit from an emerging tourism trend in Africa. Its food business
is likely to see a stronger year in 2015. We project improvements all
round from MINT in 2015, driving up its earnings growth to almost
30% next year.
MINT is one of our top picks for the
Thai market next year. We reiterate
our Add call and our THB42 target
price, still based on 24x CY16 P/E (1
s.d. above 5-year historical mean). We
believe that a pick-up in tourist
arrivals and the food business will
help catalyse its share price.
Turnaround in Thai hotels

Its hotels in Thailand will benefit from
a recovery in tourist arrivals next year
on the back of a more stable political
environment
while
its
hotels
elsewhere should continue to profit
from the strong tourism trend
worldwide. We expect its Thai hotels
occupancy rate to rise from about
60% in 2014 to 70% in 2015.
About 25% of its total hotel rooms are
in Thailand (14% in Bangkok and 11%
upcountry), 21% are in other Asian
countries (e.g. Maldives, Indonesia,
UAE, China), 40% are in Australia
and New Zealand and the remaining

2Q14, its Singapore and China hubs

still experienced negative SSSG in
3Q14. We expect these two hubs to
show better performance next year as
MINT tries to introduce new food
concepts in Singapore and increase its
sales in China. The Thai hub should
also see better growth next year on the
back of a stronger economy.
Aggressive expansion
plans
MINT plans to add 20 hotels (2,574
rooms) using its own money during
2014-16 on top of the 93 hotels under
its ownership, joint venture and
Management Letting Right (MLR)
(11,297 rooms) now. MINT also plans
to add 28 hotels (4,210 rooms) under
its managed hotel portfolio. That said,
MINT plans to grow its number of
rooms by 15% CAGR over the next
three years.
On the food side, MINT plans to add
about 220 outlets per annum over the
next few years. It expects to have
2,600 restaurants by 2018, from 1,648
at the end of 3Q14 (11% CAGR).

CIMB Analyst(s)
We expect 2015 to be better for M as greater economic and political

stability should boost consumer spending and thus keep its expansion
plans on track. We also foresee better earnings prospects, supported by
improving sales and continued branch expansion.

We keep our Add call and DCF-based

(WACC 7.6%) target price of THB74.
A key driver is Ms continued branch
expansion. We expect it to achieve an
12.5% revenue CAGR and 16.5% net
profit CAGR over the next three years
(FY15-17).
But
ESOP-related
provisions in FY14-16 will put
pressure on net earnings. Its strengths
lie in its solid financials (cash in hand
of c.THB8bn or THB8.8 per share),
and potential M&A in the coming
years (not yet in our forecast),
providing upside to its earnings.
SSSG almost positive

Overall same-store sales growth
(SSSG) showed signs of improvement,
narrowing to -4.5% in 3Q14 (vs. -5%
2Q14 and -9% 1Q14). SSSG for MK
Suki Restaurant fell 1% qoq from -5%
in 2Q14 but its Bangkok branches
posted positive SSSG for the first time
this year (+1% in 3Q14 compared to
-3% upcountry). However, Yayois
SSSG plunged 10% in 3Q14. M

Current

believes that its SSSG will turn

positive in FY15.
Expansion on track.
M reiterates its plan to open around
60 new restaurants each year. Its
branch expansion plan is still on track,
as 19 new branches were opened in
3Q14 (42 branches in 9M14), bringing
Ms total branches to 548 at
end-9M14. With the 16 new branches
scheduled for opening in 4Q14, M
would have added 58 new branches in
2014.
Maintain Add
We maintain our positive view on Ms
operation in the longer term and its
solid net cash position. Ms estimated
dividend yields are attractive, at 4.5%
in FY15 and 5.2% in FY16 (based on
80% dividend payout). Considering its
strong financials, M can afford to pay
higher dividends.

The Amazon next door
CIMB Analyst(s)
OFM, the market leader in stationery and office supplies in Thailand,

has strong growth potential, especially in e-commerce. Management
aims to expand the companys market share from the current 20% to
40-50% in the next three years.

We reiterate our Hold call and THB54

DCF-based target price (WACC 9%,
LTG 3.0%). In our view, OFMs
current share price fully reflects its
stronger outlook post-merger and its
earnings growth will be pressured by
the costs of its online retail business
(due to start in 2H14). Investors
looking to accumulate OFM as mid- to
long-term investment should wait till
it falls below THB45 (25x FY15 P/E or
1x PEG, the retail sectors 5-yr mean).
Top distributor of office

supplies
The bulk of OFMs revenue comes
from OfficeMate (60%) and B2S
(40%). In our view, OFMs appeal lies
with OfficeMate, the market leader in
stationery and office supplies. OFM
has
strong
growth
potential
(especially its e-commerce business),
given its extensive distribution
channels and free nationwide delivery
service.
Management targets to
expand the companys market share
from 20% currently to 40-50% in the
next three years by boosting the
revenue contribution of its house
brands, which generate higher
margins around 10%. We forecast

Current
Target
3-year sales CAGR (2014-16) of 17%

for OfficeMate and 8% for B2S.
Online retail store to boost

mid- to long-term growth
OFM will accelerate its marketing
efforts and open a new distribution
centre for its online retail business in
4Q14. Given OFMs delivery service
strength and Centrals (owned by the
Chirathivat family and acquired a 63%
stake in OFM) trusted brand, we
forecast online retail sales CAGR of
120% over 2015-17. Although the
online business is likely to incur losses
in the first few years of operations, we
expect earnings to gradually improve.
In our view, the online retail business
will be a new growth engine for OFM.
It is a low-risk business due to the
minimal capex required.
Recovery reflected in price

We like OFM for its mid- to long-term
growth story and solid financials. The
company had cash of THB800m and
no debt and generates operating
cashflow of around THB500m p.a.,
sufficient to fund its annual capex of
THB500m. However, we think that
OFMs current share price reflects its
expected near-term earnings recovery.

Tough markets
CIMB Analyst(s)
PSLs unexpectedly large loss in 3Q14 clearly indicated that 2014 had
been a tougher year than previously forecast. Secondhand vessel prices
have also been dropping, suggesting that the markets expectations of
future freight rates are moderating.

We maintain our Reduce call on PSL

because we expect its 4Q14 results to
be also weak and 2015 freight markets
to be only modestly stronger than in
2014. These are the key de-rating
catalysts. Our target price is based on
PSLs SOP which is anchored to its
secondhand vessel values.
Freight markets more difficult

than expected in 2014
So far, 2014 has turned out to be a

more difficult year than expected for
the dry bulk markets (1) excessive
capacity and competition among
capesize operators depressed capesize
rates despite record Chinese iron ore
imports, (2) Chinese coal imports
have declined as a result of more
domestic mining output, (3) the
impact of Indonesias early-January
ban on bauxite and nickel ore exports
continues to weigh on these trades,
and (4) Argentinas ban on grain
exports earlier this year deprived the
markets of much-needed cargoes.
Freight rate outlook

The freight markets have improved
sequentially this quarter due to the US
grain season but the handysize and
supramax markets have been less

Target
robust than a year ago. We expect

2015 to look stronger on the back of
higher Indian coal imports and low
iron ore import prices which should
trigger strong Chinese import growth.
But this may be partially offset by
higher Chinese tariffs on imported
coal and a bumper Chinese grain
harvest that could result in lower
Chinese grain imports. Overall, we
expect a small improvement in dry
bulk freight rates in 2015 but the
weakening Chinese economy will act
as a headwind preventing significant
improvement in spot rates.
Fleet renewal
PSL will take delivery of 17 new ships
in FY15 and another seven in FY16. It
plans to sell up to 21 older and/or
fuel-inefficient ships by early 2016.
Once this process is completed, the
fleet average age should drop from 9.5
to 3.5 years and the average size
should rise from 35,000 to 50,000
dwt. As a result, we expect PSL to
reduce its operating costs/day due to
lower maintenance costs and also
lower voyage costs resulting from
better fuel consumption. The benefits
will be felt more deeply in FY16.

We maintain our Add rating as we believe PS remains a solid

long-term investment with an FY15 EPS growth of 20%, rising
efficiency, and well-contained gearing of below 1x. Our target price
based on 12x CY16 P/E (0.5 s.d. above 5-year mean) stays at THB46.

We keep our EPS estimates

unchanged. PS has kept its FY14
presales and revenue targets, and is
confident of a minimum 15% revenue
growth and ongoing bottom line
improvements in FY15. Key catalysts
include margin expansion and more
exciting new launches in FY15.
Stronger FY15
We remain upbeat about the 20% EPS
growth for FY15 given our revenue has
been 34% locked in by higher-margin
condo backlog. PS can easily meet our
revenue estimate with flat growth for
TH/SDH next year. Note that this
condo backlog carries lower cost than
the FY14 backlog given normalised
construction cost after the 4Q11 flood
crisis. The shorter SDH/TH business
cycle of 90 days should support
margin expansion for landed housing.
As for FY14, despite the high 9M14
lock-in rate vs. our FY14 EPS, we keep
our EPS estimates as we expect a
softer 4Q14 due to lower gross
margins from lower utilisation of
factories (with its new factory No. 6)
and further provision of THB70bn for
its Vietnam operations. The upside
potential for FY14 EPS cannot be
ruled out if PS delivers its optimistic
revenue target of THB42bn (vs.
CIMBs THB40bn) and its SG&A ratio

Current
Target
tapers off faster than expected, given

only one new lower-end condo launch
in 4Q14. Also, our FY14 revenue
estimate has been 105% secured by
9M14s sales and backlog.
Upbeat targets
Target growth for FY15 presales is
likely to be in the range of 8-10%,
while FY15s revenue from real estate
sales should be between 15% and 20%.
Gross margin should improve further
due to a higher lower-cost condo mix
and shorter business cycle for
TH/SDH. Gearing is guided at below
1x. As for FY14, PS has retained its
targets at THB43bn for presales and
THB42bn for sales revenue. 9M14
presales and revenue formed 73% of
PSs FY15 targets (9M14 revenue was
75% of our FY14 estimate). New
launches for FY14 were revised down
to 62 projects worth THB58bn from
73 projects worth THB78bn. Ten
more projects worth THB9.6bn will be
launched in 4Q14 (TH 5, SDH 4,
condo 1).
Deserves re-rating
Stay invested for promising long-term
returns. PS deserves to re-rate above
its 5-year mean P/E, given its ongoing
solid growth, high ROE and healthy
gearing level.

NGV upside trumps oil downside
CIMB Analyst(s)
Thanks to PTTs diversified portfolio, its earnings growth momentum

will be stronger in 2015 driven by the lower NGV loss that should offset
the earnings downside from lower oil prices. We believe valuations will
continue to rerate on the back of the subsidy reduction which should
end by 2016.

We maintain our Add rating and

SOP-based target price. We believe
PTT is one of the very few energy
companies in Thailand with earnings
downsides from lower oil prices more
than offset by the regulatory upside
from the NGV price increase. The
earnings upside from its refinery and
olefins should help offset weaker
earnings from E&P. NGV price
increases are key catalysts for the
stock.
NGV upside
The regulator Energy Policy and
Planning Office has announced
another increase in the NGV price
which is expected to reach PTTs cost
at THB16/kg. This would effectively
boost PTTs earnings by THB12bn in
2015, in line with our expectations.
We expect another upside of up to
THB7bn from the LPG price lift which
should start by 2H15 when the oil
fund balance turns to a THB15bn
surplus, the optimal level, in our view.
Oil price downside

We believe the earnings downside for
PTT from weakening oil prices should
be limited given 1) PTTs core gas
earnings (1/3 of total earnings) that

than 10% of its earnings via its Gas
Separation Plant 2) its earnings
upside from lower NGV loss subsidy
of THB12bn; and 3) earnings upside
from PTTs refinery associates due to
higher GRM.
Upsides from divestments

PTT is likely to see more upside in
2015, with expected capital raised up
to THB70bn, from five divestments,
namely SPRC, GPSC, BCP, Palm asset,
and gas retail stations. The biggest
upside will be the listing of the retail
station business with an initial value
of THB100bn market cap.
Valuation rerating
We believe the earnings upside from
lower NGV and LPG subsidy losses
will more than make up for the
downside from lower oil prices,
leading to a valuation rerating for PTT
over the next 12 months. This is
premised on the governments aim to
cut the subsidy and equalise tax
across the energy products. Our
SOP-based target price of THB436
already includes the upside from the
NGV price increase.

CIMB Analyst(s)
We believe PTTEPs current valuation has already priced in the

US$70/bbl average oil price that should be the likely sustainable level
in 2015-16 if OPEC maintains its production at 30mblpd.

We upgrade PTTEP from Hold to Add

but keep our DCF-based target price
(WACC 11%) based on US$90/bbl oil
price as we think the weak oil price
scenario is short term, and prices will
rebound by 2H15 when the supply
glut softens. While the weak oil prices
have a significant impact on PTTEP,
its 20% share price correction in the
past three months should limit its
downside. It should perform better
than its E&P peers under this
environment given it is a gas-heavy
E&P with 13% volume growth in 2015.
Penalty likely ends

In the past three months PTTEPs
share price has plunged 20%
following the oil price drop from
US$110/bbl to the current US$64/bbl.
We believe that at the current oil price
level of US$64/bbl and PTTEPs
current share price there is a limited
downside given it is less likely for oil
prices to decline much further due to
the marginal cost of oil at
US$60-70/bbl.
Limited downside
We estimate that every US$10/bbl
drop in oil price will result in a 13%
decline in PTTEPs earnings from our
base case of US$90/bbl in 2015-16.

Current
Target
However, we note that unlike its

regional E&P peers, PTTEP should see
a smaller downside given 1) it is a
gas-heavy E&P company with up to
70% of volume and 50% of earnings
are from gas; and 2) its gas pricing in
Thailand, which accounts for 80% of
total volume, will be linked only 1/3 to
fuel oil price while the remaining part
will linked to CPI and exchange rate.
Volume growth a cushion

In 2015, we expect PTTEP to see a
13% yoy volume growth, driven
mainly by the full-year operations of
its gas field Zawtika (300mmscfd
production volume) that started up in
2Q14.
A recovery play
We believe PTTEP will be an
attractive E&P play with more gas
earnings and volume growth to help
cushion the earnings downside from
lower oil prices. While in the shortterm, its earnings could face downside
risk from further declines in oil prices,
we think that in the medium- to longterm, its earnings growth should
continue given that oil prices should
recover, normalising at between
US$70 and US$90/bbl.

Mixed winds ahead
CIMB Analyst(s)
PTTGC is facing a mix of both head and tailwinds. Its earnings growth
is driven by the tailwinds of its volume growth post GSP#5 shutdown
and the rising olefin margin on industry upcycle in 2015-16. This will
be partly offset by the headwinds from weakening oil prices given its
gas feedstock cost will decline slower than the oil-driven product price.

PTTGC remains a good growth play in

the Thai petrochemical sector thanks
to its volume growth from higher gas
feedstock and the margin expansion
from olefin upcycle that should more
than offset the negative impact from
lower oil prices. We maintain Add and
tweak up our target price, based on 6x

Refinery unit to improve in

2015
Olefin supports growth
Downside for LPG subsides
We expect PTTGC to see a healthy

margin in 2015-16 thanks to its olefin
margins that should continue to rise
despite the negative impact from the
oil price decline. As a gas-based olefin
producer, PTTGCs gas feedstock price
will decline slower than oil-driven
product prices. However its timely
olefin volume growth of 20% yoy and
higher margin for olefin on the tight
industry outlook should be the key
driver to help offset the weak earnings
from aromatics and refinery units.

Current
Target
We believe that after the loss in 2014

due to the large inventory loss due to
the sharp oil price drop, PTTGC
should see its refinery earnings grow
in 2015, driven by higher GRM on the
back of lower crude premium costs,
lower fuel loss, and lower interest
expenses on its working capital. These
together could boost its GRM by
US$2-4/bbl.
Thanks to the sharp oil price decline
that led to much lower LPG prices of
below US$600/t, the risk for PTTGC
from a potential LPG feedstock price
increase is now much reduced. We
estimate that even with the full impact
of an LPG price increase to the market
price of US$600/t, PTTGC will see a
mere 2% earnings downside.
Pain, then gain

While in the short-term, PTTGCs
earnings will be under pressure from
inventory loss, its earnings growth
will improve once oil prices stabilise
in 2015.

We maintain an Add rating on QH with a higher target price of

THB5.53 as we roll over our valuation to 10x CY16 P/E (on par with its
five-year mean). We continue to like QH for its strong earnings
visibility, backed by its solid backlog and investment income and
undemanding valuation.
We raise FY14-16 EPS estimates by
2-3.8%
to
reflect
its
9M14
performance, which came in broadly
in line with our expectation. QH
remains upbeat on its outlook in FY15
and targets growth of 20% for revenue,
while presales are expected to expand
at a slower pace of 10-15%. Still,
upside potential for FY15 is possible
given its higher guidance for both
presales and revenues. Potential
catalysts include continued buoyant
presales and margin expansion. (keep
abstract to 12 lines max. remove
notice at top. add peers to P/E band
on p.2. changes to TP & EPS should be
done in a separate note)
Rising growth outlook

We expect QH to report EPS growth
of 10% in FY14 and accelerate to
17-20% in FY15-16. FY15s growth
visibility is firmly backed by a solid
condo backlog, which suggests a 25%
lock-in rate. We note that QHs sales
revenue mix comprises 20-30% condo
and 70-30% SDH/TH. This 25%
lock-in rate suggests that its condo
revenue is entirely secured for FY15;
hence its strong earnings visibility.
We expect upward revisions in EPS by

the market; our FY14 EPS is 10%

above consensus.
Upbeat targets
QH remains optimistic that its FY15
presales and revenues will grow by
20% from the FY14 presales target of
THB21.4bn and sales revenue target
of THB20bn. The company plans to
grow its presence more in provincial
markets, with an expected upcountry
contribution of 20% in FY15 from 15%
in FY14. The higher-end segment mix
should remain at 20% and the
majority is likely to come from the
mid- to lower-end segment. The
condo mix should form 20-25% and
SDH and TH should make up the
remainder.
Attractive valuation
Stay invested for the companys

earnings
outlook,
expanding ROE and attractive
valuations on both a P/E and RNAV
of THB5.4 (more than a 30% discount
to RNAV/share). Its dividend yield is
also another return accretion for
investing in QH.

Dont overlook this growth play
CIMB Analyst(s)
RATCHs earnings growth could start to accelerate in FY15 when the

earnings from its 40%-stake coal-fired Hongsa power plant start to
kick in. Additional growth could come from the coal-fired power plant
bidding in Thailand and M&A overseas, which should be supported by
its strong balance sheet.

After a long period of a stagnant and

defensive growth strategy, we believe
that it is entering a more aggressive
growth direction from not only its
green field project, Hongsa, but also
from the M&A upside that is targeted
by the company. We think it is
well-positioned to see a strong growth
momentum in FY15-16. We maintain
an Add rating and DCF-based target
price of THB69 (WACC: 6.3%).
Potential catalysts are three phases of
the 1,800MW plant start full
operating in 2016.
Potential growth outlook

We believe that over the next 12
months, RATCH will be well
positioned to gain positive earnings
momentum from the better utilisation
of its existing power plants and the
additional earnings from Hongsa,
which we project to contribute
THB789m in FY15 and THB2.4bn in
FY16 after all three phases of the
1,800MW plant start full operation.
Strong in both coal- and

gas-fired power plants
largest in Thailand, we believe that it

could stand as a key contender for the
new coal-fired power plant, thanks to
its experience given its 40% stake in
the coal-fired power plant in Laos.
Solid shareholder structure

Thanks to the 45% stake owned by the
Electricity Generation Authority of
Thailand (EGAT), RATCH is well
positioned to win any new power
plants, not only in Thailand but also
in neighbouring countries where
EGAT aims to expand its footprint.
EGAT is Thailands only state-owned
power generation company and the
sole buyer of all power in Thailand.
Buy ahead of growth

We believe that RATCHs share price
will continue to re-rate over the next
12 months, driven by the earnings
growth momentum and the upside
from the upcoming IPP bidding.
RATCH could stand a chance to win
both as a gas- or coal-fired IPP given
its proven experience in large gas- and
coal-fired power plants in Thailand,
Laos and Australia.
While RATCHs existing strength may

lie in its large portfolio of gas-fired
power plants of over 5,000MW, the

CIMB Analyst(s)
With weak domestic demand resulting in lower sales, ROBINS

generated flat sales growth in 2014 despite its aggressive expansion.
We still believe in its long-term growth story as it is poised to benefit
from the recovery in domestic demand and increasing urbanisation.

Regaining strength in 2015
CIMB Analyst(s)
2014s earnings were driven by solid smartphone sales growth and the
debut of its DTV Mobile. Although sales fell in 3Q14, they are likely to
recover in 4Q14/2015, supported by the launch of new handset models
that satisfy consumer needs and an expected large order by operators.

We maintain our Add call and target

price of THB4.60, based on 18.2x
FY15 P/E (1 s.d. above the telecom
sectors 5-year mean). We believe
SIM will be attractive over the next
1-2 years, driven by the growing
smartphone market and potential of
becoming a handset manufacturer
for Thailands top mobile operators,
plus additional benefits as an STB
distributor.
Continuing growth
SIMs revenue and profit jumped
more than 400% yoy in 2013 and
around 25% in 2014, thanks to the
transition from 2G to 3G in Thailand.
Although
this
abnormally-high
growth rate should normalise in
2014 (13% CAGR), we expect another
push from the soon-to-be fully
operational 4G as this transition
should boost smartphone demand in
the upcountry. And with the market
gearing towards lower-cost devices,
SIMs attractively-priced and quality
products, coupled with better
services, should help it capture a
larger market share.

Current
Target
Driven by DTV mobile

SIMs growth in 4Q14-2015 will also
be driven by the growing sales of its
DTV Mobile, especially after the
commencement of full operations of
the new DTTV platform in Thailand
in Sep 2014. This should help restore
revenue growth to its former level by
4Q14 onwards. Moreover, SIM will
book revenue from another big order
of more than 500,000 handsets from
DTAC in 4Q14. Also, as the company
might be receiving more special
orders of around 1m handsets next
year, SIM targets to sell 5.5m units in
2015 (vs. 4.5m handsets in 2014).
Set-top box distributor

SAMART expects to sell 1.5m-2m
STBs per year in 2014-2015 (8-10% of
total market share). With SIM as one
of its STB distributors, accounting for
around 20-30% of its STB sales (at
10% net margin), this target
translates to THB300m in revenue
and THB30m in net profit for SIM.
Still attractive
We like SIM for its leading position
in the Thai mobile market, its solid
financials, and growth potential from
overseas expansion, which should
drive a 13% net profit CAGR in 15-17

Despite its completed capital-raising exercise and concrete plans to

drive earnings growth, we maintain our Hold call on SIRI, as it may
take some time for the market to get over the massive dilution from the
capital-raising exercise in FY14 and warrant issuance in FY16. As we
roll over to 7x CY16 P/E (close to 5-year mean), our target price drops.
Our FY14-16 EPS is unchanged. In
spite of SIRIs capital-raising exercise
and the resulting dilution, we are
cautiously optimistic on SIRIs
earnings growth outlook. Earnings
growth would be supported by its
business restructuring to ensure
sustainable growth, solid backlog,
stronger capital base and healthier
balance sheet.
Capital-raising exercise
In Nov 2014, SIRI raised capital
through a rights issue, which allowed
holders of its common shares on 6 Oct
2014 to buy new shares at a ratio of
three existing shares for one new
share at a price of THB1.30. Each new
share came with one free 3-year
warrant (SIRI-W2), exercisable at
THB2.50 from the second year
onwards (no exercise of warrant
allowed in the first year). In addition,
SIRI offered 300m warrants under
ESOP #7 to its directors and
management employees. The new
shares and warrants were listed in
Nov 2014. The funds raised will be
mainly used for debt repayment and
land acquisition. We deem the
capital-raising exercise necessary,

given SIRIs highly-geared balance

sheet (above 2x at end-3Q14). Its
backlog, the highest in the sector, is
not sufficiently supported by its
capital structure (vs. large-scale PS
and LH). This limits its ability to fund
backlog construction and future
landbanking.
New growth path

After the capital-raising exercise, SIRI
announced a new business plan,
Engineer For Growth (EFG), which
lays the foundation for sustainable
earnings
growth
through
product/market diversification, cost
efficiency and new capital. SIRI
expects net margin to improve to 15%
over the next five years and gearing to
drop below 1x by FY16. It retains its
targets of THB12bn presales and
THB28bn-29bn revenue in FY14, as
well as presales of THB30bn and
revenue of THB36bn in FY15. We
expect strong earnings recovery in
FY15 and continued growth in FY16.
Hold for long term

SIRI is worth revisiting, given its
attractive risk-reward now.

More visibility for growth
CIMB Analyst(s)
We maintain our Add rating and continue to like SC for its improving
visibility in view of its increasingly solid backlog, sustainable gross
margins and well-contained SG&A. Our target price rises as we roll
over our valuation of 10x P/E (0.5 s.d. above its 5-year mean) to CY16.

In view of its solid 9M14 performance,

we keep our EPS estimates unchanged.
We expect FY15 to show even stronger
earnings growth, backed by a high
lock-in rate of 30% for FY15 condo
revenue and sustainable gross margin.
Its P/E valuations of only 7-8.6x
CY15-16 are undemanding, lower than
its 5-year mean of 9x. Its FY15-16 EPS
growth of 19-27% is also compelling,
with 12% expected in FY14.
Cautiously optimistic
targets
Despite its solid 9M14 performance,
SC retained its FY14 targets for both
presales and revenue at THB12bn
each (+16% yoy for the former and
+7.5% yoy for the latter). SC expects
both presales and sales to continue to
grow at 10-15% in FY15, while
anticipating the bottomline to grow
even faster than the topline.
Additionally, SCs rental office
business remains intact with an
occupancy rate of 100% for ST1 and
ST2, and 95% for ST3. The total
rentable area for these three buildings
is 53,965 sq m.

Current
Target
Improving FY15 outlook

We expect sales to grow faster given
its increasingly solid backlog for
condos. SCs revenue mix consists of
20-30% condo and 70-80% SDH/TH,
reinforcing its strong earnings
visibility as our FY15-16 revenue
estimates are 20-28% secured by
condo backlog. Note that our FY14
sales forecast has been 70% locked in.
We expect FY14 EPS to grow by 12%,
while FY15 and FY16 EPS should
expand by 27% and 19%, respectively,
thanks to prudent expansion, rising
revenue visibility, sustainable gross
margins and a leaner back office with
higher efficiency.
Attractive valuations
Given SC's more compelling earnings
growth, valuation discount to its
5-year mean P/E of 9x (vs. the peer
average of 10x CY15 P/E and 9x CY16
P/E) and decent dividend yield of 5%
(vs. the peer average of 4%), we
remain positive about the company's
prospects as a solid long-term
investment.

Best play on oil price downturn
CIMB Analyst(s)
SCCs earnings momentum will accelerate in 2015-16 driven not only

by its well-diversified portfolio that includes domestic-driven sectors of
cement, building materials and auto, as well as its global-driven
petrochemical olefins group, but also from the sharp decline in oil price,
thanks to its high energy cost structure for cement and ceramics and
its naphtha-based petrochemical producer.

We trim our EPS forecasts for 2014-16

to reflect our lower utilisation for
SCCs PTA associate. We believe SCC
is the best play for Thailand as an
ASEAN play, oil beneficiary play, and
domestic cement and building
material play in 2015-16. Catalysts
include cement demand growth
recovery and rising petrochemical
olefin margins. We maintain Add and
our SOP-based target price.
Domestic recovery play

We expect SCCs earnings from the
cement and building materials group
to bottom in 3Q14 and start to recover
into 2015, driven by Thailands
cement demand growth recovery from
-3% in 3Q14 to +5% in 2015. This will
be boosted by government spending
that should inject much-needed
capital into the economy.
Petrochemical still a hero

As a naphtha-based olefin producer,
SCCs 2.9mtpa olefin production
should be a key earnings growth
driver in 2015, helped by the lower
naphtha cost and healthy demand
outlook that should lead to margin

expansion. We believe petrochemical

earnings will help sustain SCCs
earnings in 2015-16, before they start
to decline when the new supply influx
from US shale gas-based producers
enter the market.
ASEAN reality growth

SCC will start to see its earnings
growth momentum accelerate in 2015
via its expansion into the ASEAN
market. Initially setting the foot print
via acquisitions and exports from
Thailand, SCC will then complete the
construction of a series of cement
plants in ASEAN in 2015-18, from
Indonesia and Myanmar to Cambodia
and Laos. This alone will add 30%
cement capacity growth to 30mtpa by
2018.
Attractive conglomerate
Given the solid cement growth
expectation, we believe its share price
will start rerating ahead of its
earnings growth momentum in 2015,
after a 2-year consolidation due to
Thailands weak cement demand
growth.

CIMB Analyst(s)
We believe SCB will return to its normal growth phase in FY15, with
key drivers from its non-lending business, supported by low operating
costs. Its solid branch network should help it penetrate new markets.
However, we think a valuation rerating is not justified.

Upon transfer of coverage, we expect

a core earnings growth of 5.8% for
FY15, which is below its peers as a
result of slower income growth and a
high
credit
cost
policy.
Our
GGM-based target price is based on
2.2x FY15 P/BV, assuming 19%
long-term ROE and 12.2% COE. Our
Hold call is unchanged. We believe its
profit growth will be unremarkable
amid the high household debt burden.
Superior growth period over

Our FY15 loan growth forecast of 6%
is based on SCBs strategy of focusing
on expanding its non-interest income
rather than lending business. Retail
banking, which makes up 44% of its
portfolio, is not likely to provide the
boost to FY15s numbers as Thailands
high household debt could be a drag
on auto hire purchases and its credit
card business. While SCBs expected
non-interest income growth of 12% in
FY15 should be better than the
previous year, it is still below
KBANKs 17%. We believe that further
upside to this is limited given the
high-base effects. On the other hand,
the bank has set a high credit cost of
78bp for FY15 as a precautionary
measure for asset deterioration. We

are nevertheless impressed by SCBs

opex ratio which is the lowest among
the large banks.
Outlook
SCB continues to leverage on its
strong franchise value with an
emphasis on small-sized SME and
retail customers. A segmentation
strategy will be put in place together
with customers behaviour analysis.
This is to enhance the banks
cross-selling activities and to gain
market share in new segments. On the
wholesale banking front, we expect
SCBs capital market business to
benefit from future M&A activities of
large conglomerates. In our view, the
key management change in FY15 will
not result in a business disruption,
while the banks asset quality should
remain intact and its loan-loss reserve
buffer will be on the rise.
No need to chase
SCBs P/BV-to-ROE for FY15 is
considered premium compared with
that of KBANK. We also do not
foresee superior growth vs. its peers.
As such we maintain our Hold rating
on the stock.

Desperate to fill up backlog
CIMB Analyst(s)
With an order backlog equivalent to only 1.6 years of revenue, STEC is

looking for smaller projects to refill its backlog. This would mean lower
margins and higher SG&A. It is not as close to the current government
as it was with the Democrat administration.

Given its weak backlog and the slow

progress on public infrastructure
projects, we believe STECs topline
growth will be slow down in 2015. We
reiterate our Reduce call, with an
unchanged target price of THB23.0,
which is still based on 20x FY16 P/E
(1 s.d. above 5-year historical mean).
De-rating catalysts could come from
the low backlog and slow progress on
government infrastructure projects.
Weak backlog order

STEC signed THB5bn worth of
projects in 9M14, which is well below
its THB20bn-30bn target for 2014.
But it realised THB15.6bn worth of
revenues in 9M14, reducing its order
backlog to THB41bn or just 1.6 years
of revenue.
As such, STEC has to bid for smaller
projects that earn lower margins and
incur higher SG&A expenses, facing
greater competition in the process.
THB20bn order wins in 2015

With a more stable political
environment,
we
expect
more
government infrastructure projects to
be awarded in 2015. We project that

Current
Target
STEC will clinch THB20bn worth of

contracts, boosting its order backlog
to 2.5 years of revenues.
Although STEC is strong in power and
petrochemical civil works, we believe
that the private sector is likely to
adopt a wait-and-see attitude amid
the slowing economy. We, therefore,
believe that the public sector will be
the main source of projects in 2015.
Our forecast of THB20bn order wins
is not too conservative given that
STEC is not very close to the current
government.
Clean balance sheet with

strong earnings visibility
Its clean balance sheet and stronger
earnings visibility compared with its
larger peers, i.e. ITD and CK, make
STEC more popular among investors
than other contractors. This explains
STECs sizeable valuation premium
over the other two. STEC is trading at
4.6x CY16 P/BV vs CKs 2.4x and
ITDs 2.7x. In terms of CY15 P/E,
STEC is trading at 27x vs CKs 22x
and ITDs 53x.

We retain our Add rating on SPALI, with its exciting line-up of new
condo launches and stronger earnings in 4Q14 as potential near-term
re-rating catalysts. As we roll over to an end-CY16 valuation, our
target price rises to THB32.62, based on 9x CY16 P/E (1 s.d above its
5-year mean).
Despite the possible risks to its FY14
presales target from the rising
competition in 2H14, we believe that
SPALIs strong fundamentals are
intact. Our FY14-16 EPS is unchanged.
We continue to like SPALI for its
defensive
nature
that
offers
compelling earnings growth, high
margins and a healthy balance sheet
with high ROEs of above 20%.
Solid FY15 earnings growth

outlook
Given SPALIs rising revenue visibility
from
stronger
backlog,
higher
proportion of condos in its FY15 sales
mix (implying higher gross margins)
and well-contained SG&A costs, we
expect EPS growth of 14-54% in
FY14-16. Although 9M14 net profit
formed only 62% of our FY14 forecast,
we expect a significant pick-up in
4Q14, mimicking the seasonality in
FY13 (9M13 net profit formed 65% of
FY13 net profit). SPALI has four new
condos pending transfer in 2H14.
Retained business targets

possible risks to its FY14 presales
target of THB22bn (9M14 lock-in rate
was 66%), given the sizeable increase

in new launches by competitors

expected in 2H14. The recovery in
demand YTD may not be strong
enough to absorb the sudden influx of
new supply. Nonetheless, SPALI
anticipates favourable take-up rates
for its new condo launches in 2H14
(70%), backed by its superior
locations and competitive pricing.
SPALI has kept its FY14 revenue
target of THB20bn, given its solid
backlog of THB40bn, of which
THB12.2bn is pending booking in
2H14 (including 9M14, 97% of our
FY14 revenue estimate has been
locked in), THB15.4bn in FY15 (74%
locked in), THB7.5bn in FY16 (33%
locked in) and the remainder in FY17.
Our top pick

Stay invested in view of SPALIs
compelling
earnings
growth,
attractive valuations compared to its
peers (trades at 8.5x CY15 P/E and
7.4x CY16 P/E vs. peer average of 10x
and 9x, respectively) and decent
dividend yields. SPALI remains one of
our top picks in the Thai property
sector.

The company has resumed production at SVI CWT and expects to fully
ramp up by the end of 2014. This is faster than we expected due to the
rapid machine installation. However, we maintain our Reduce rating,
as we expect soft earnings in 1H15 as production ramps up to be a
de-rating catalyst.
We maintain our target price of
THB3.12, still pegged to 10x FY16
P/E (0.5 s.d. above the industry
mean).
Updates after the fire

SVI has already started small-scale
production at SVI CWT in
Chaengwattana. It plans to renovate
the SVI II factory and start
production there by 2Q15. SVI CWT
is expected to generate up to
US$75m per year by end-2014. Once
the renovation is completed, SVI II
will be capable of generating revenue
of US$200m per year. However, we
believe it will take up to 2-3 quarters
to ramp-up production to full
capacity. While at SVI HQ, The
Department of Industrial Works
ordered that the damaged building
be closed for 60 days after the fire on
12 Nov 2014 for safety inspection
and damage assessment.
Loyal customers
SVIs FY12 revenue fell by 9% yoy,
when it lost customers due to the
flood in 2011. It was difficult for SVI
to regain customers trust, as they
could easily shift their orders to
other
suppliers.
However,
management has stated that all of its

clients are staying despite the fire.

We think that SVIs main customers
will remain loyal due to their long
business relationships with the
company.
Insurance coverage
Company informs us that insurance
will fully cover the damages
(including business disruption) from
the fire at its SVI HQ factory in
Bangkadi Industrial Estate. SVI HQ
contributed 100% of the groups
FY14 revenue.
Downside scenarios
We think that there are two
downside scenarios for SVIs share
price: 1) worst-case scenario target
price of THB2.17, based on BV per
share in 3Q14, 2) target price of
THB3.72 following a near-term
correction, based on the trough P/BV
of 1.7x during the flood.
Reduce rating
Reiterate Reduce due to our
expectations of softer 1H15 earnings,
as SVI has just resumed production,
and expected low FY15 gross margin
of 9.5% (similar to FY12, after the
flood).

We expect the large inventory loss on the sharp decline in oil prices to
drag TOP into the red in 2014. However, we believe the company will
see a marked improvement in earnings in 2015-16 driven by a muchimproved GRM on lower costs for fuel, crude premium, and interest.

We see TOP as an attractive refinery

stock after its share price declines in
2H14, and hence upgrade from Hold
to Add. We also raise our target price
which is based on 5x CY16
EV/EBITDA, 1s.d. below historical
average to reflect the weak GRM
outlook and downside from oil price
weakness, as we roll over our
valuations to 2016.
From oil victim to victor

While
TOPs
operational
competitiveness is high thanks to its
low cost structure and high
production efficiency, it has suffered
from a large inventory loss due to the
sharp decline in oil prices in 2H14. We
however believe that TOPs 2015
earnings will improve markedly by
US$2-4/bbl driven by 1) lower fuel
loss to boost GRM by US$1/bbl; 2)
lower crude premium to drive GRM
by US$2/bbl; and 3) lower interest
expenses on lower required working
capital.

Current
Target
Aromatics earnings are expected to

remain in a downcycle on the back of
poor PX margin caused by the
continued oversupply that could not
be offset by the strong benzenenaphtha spread.
Strong momentum
Without the significant inventory loss
on lower oil prices in 2015, we believe
TOP would have seen solid earnings
growth driven mainly by rising GRM
on the back of lower oil prices. The
indirect positive impact could come
from an improved demand outlook
thanks to the lower oil prices.
Limited downside
At its current share price, we believe
TOPs downside is limited, supported
by its replacement cost of THB42/shr.
We believe its share price will rerate
over the next 12 months driven by the
rising GRM and absence of significant
inventory loss.

We are optimistic on Thaicoms FY15 outlook given full-year

contributions from Thaicom 6 (75% utilisation rate) and Thaicom 7
(55%). Positive surprises could come from 1) the sale of Thaicom 7s
entire remaining capacity, 2) progress in Thaicom 4s sales, and 3)
progress in Thaicom 8s presales.
Key issues that have recently held
back its share price include 1) the
uncertain satellite demand outlook, 2)
the
military
governments
investigations into past concession
irregularities, and 3) the governments
national satellite communication
project. We keep our SOP-based
target price and Add rating. Thaicom
is our top Thai telco pick.
Political dj vu
We are not surprised to see the
military government investigating
Thaicoms concession irregularities
and embarking on the national
satellite project, as both are exactly
what the junta did in 2007-08.
However, it has also been proven that
this kind of political theatre only
affects market sentiment and not
Thaicoms business fundamentals.
No more spectrum at 78.5

Thaicoms most valuable asset is the
78.5 east orbital slot, the direction
towards which 70% of Thai
households point their satellite dishes.
Thaicom has Thaicom 5 and 6 in that
slot and will put Thaicom 8 there in
1H16. The companys CEO has
informed us that Thaicom will utilise
the entire uplink/downlink spectrum

available in that location. Deliberate

or not, Thaicom will successfully
monopolise this high-value position
for the next 7-20 years.
Decent demand outlook

The full utilisation of Thaicom 5, 6
(Indochina footprint) and 7 as well as
the soon-to-be-launched 8, with the
overwhelming demand for Indochina
access, should be sufficient to provide
Thaicom with a strong demand
outlook. Rising satellite transponder
demand
should
come
from
intensifying competition in the pay TV
market,
where
operators
are
clamouring to offer more HD format
channels and to introduce UHD
channels in FY15. Note that one
transponder can carry 20 SD channels,
8 HD channels and 2 UHD channels.
Thaicom 8 to spur FY16

growth
Thaicom 8 will add another 30% to
capacity in 2H16, half of which will be
to serve the Thai broadcasting market
and the rest to serve the Africa and
India markets. We will add Thaicom 8
into our model once the capacity
presale figures are revealed.

While DTAC will benefit if the spectrum auction is on schedule, it will

not be badly hurt by any delay. We maintain our EPS estimates,
DCF-based target price (9.5% WACC) and Add rating. DTAC is our top
pick given room for EBITDA growth, its lofty dividend yield and
undemanding EV/OpFCF valuation.
We expect DTAC to better capitalise
on its industry-leading spectrum
bandwidth and concessionary period
with new CEO Mr Sigve Brekke,
effective Sep 14. DTAC must grab any
available spectrum in the auction if it
wants
to
maintain
its
costcompetitiveness. Yet, DTAC will still
be comfortable if the spectrum
auction is delayed given that its
concession lasts until Sep 18.
The worst is behind it

We are also positive on DTACs new
strategy of accelerating its capex cycle,
adopting localised marketing and
turning more aggressive in defending
its market share. This will restore its
earnings growth momentum in FY15.
We expect DTACs aggressive capex
plans to lead to faster subscriber
migration and 3G device adoption,
resulting in rapid regulatory cost
savings in FY15.
Competition to intensify
In 3Q14, DTACs subscriber migration
rate was 71% while the 3G device
adoption rate was 41%, lagging behind
AISs and Trues. We believe that
DTACs more aggressive strategy
should pave the way to catching up
with AIS and True in terms of

Current
Target
Spectrum auction is a critical

swing factor
As no less than four spectrum bands
will be available for auction
(1800MHz and 900MHz) in FY15-16
and there are three potential bidders
(AIS, DTAC and True), there is a high
chance of DTAC bagging at least one
licence. In our view, this should be
enough for DTAC to stay competitive
until its concession expires in Sep 18.

We are still upbeat about DTACs
long-term prospects. We expect the
after the spectrum auction. As we see
the capex cycle peaking in FY15,
DTAC will have more than sufficient
network for 3G and 4G services.
Smartphone adoption will go beyond
the natural adoption rate given
Thailands smartphone affordability
level, which will allow DTAC to
monetise the explosion in data
consumption, leading to an ARPU
uplift, margin expansion, rising FCF
and higher dividends.

Too expensive a turnaround
CIMB Analyst(s)
Trues share price has rallied 57% in six months. Further re-rating
requires: 1) a lengthy delay in spectrum auctions, 2) consistent revenue
market share gains, and 3) delivery of a cost-efficiency programme.
We believe the chances of all three happening in FY15 are low.

We keep our estimates, DCF-based

target price (9.8% WACC) and Reduce
rating. We think the market is too
optimistic on Trues ability to increase
its revenue market share and EBITDA
margins (excl. gains from tower sale
to TRUEIF). AIS and DTAC have
begun to defend their market shares
while Jasmine is aiming to speed up
its capex cycle after listing its IFF.
CTH is trying harder to turn the
corner and gain traction in pay TV.
Turnaround is a known
positive factor
This could lead to a jump in network

opex
and
higher
subscriber
acquisition costs.
Spectrum auction a critical

swing factor
Unlike AIS, True will be the prime
beneficiary if there is a lengthy delay
in the 4G spectrum auction as the
licences will weaken its current
superior competitiveness in terms of
spectrum holding, regulatory cost and
3G/4G first-mover advantage.
Notwithstanding our Reduce call, we

are upbeat about Trues long-term
prospects. We expect the industrys
after the spectrum auction. As we see
the capex cycle peaking in FY15,
Trues network will be more than
sufficient to support its 3G and 4G
services. Smartphone adoption will go
beyond the natural adoption rate
given
Thailands

Cost control remains a
affordability level, which will allow
True to monetise the explosion in data
concern
Its recently-announced FY15 capex of consumption, leading to ARPU uplift,
THB33bn was above our forecast of margin expansion, rising FCF and
THB24bn and consensus of THB20bn, higher dividends.
reflecting the intensifying competition.
A turnaround in earnings in FY15 is
already in the bag, with most drivers
being non-operating items, i.e.
interest
expense
reduction
(THB2.9bn),
fully
amortised
concessionary assets (THB4.3bn) and
gains from the sale of 3k towers to
TRUEIF (THB3bn). Meanwhile, we
project FY15 EBITDA to rise by 18%
yoy (consensus: 30%).

VGIs 1HFY3/15 performance missed expectations due to sluggish total

advertising spending, which remains under pressure (10M14: -9% yoy).
Also, there is a strong possibility that Tesco Lotus will not renew its
contract with VGI at the end of this year. We maintain our Reduce
rating and DCF-based target price (WACC: 11.2%; LTG: 2%).
While in-store advertising picked up
in Oct 14, it does not point to a
recovery as yet, in our view. Potential
de-rating
catalysts
are
1)
slower-than-expected recovery in total
advertisement expenditure, and 2)
limited advertising rate hike due to
the weak economy and lower demand.
Ad (MACO TB) at 24.43%. However,

its bid to acquire Tong Hua (TH TB)
to get a stake in Aqua Ad (unlisted)
failed. VGI is still searching for good
deals. Also, VGI entered Laos recently
and has plans to enter Cambodia,
Myanmar, Lao and Vietnam, and is
exploring outdoor media options.
Dominant in transit
Weak total adex in 10M14
VGI is a dominant player in transit

advertising and has improved its
position in office buildings advertising.
However, we believe it will lose
market share in in-store advertising if
its contract with Tesco Lotus is not
renewed. VGI has owned exclusive
rights to manage advertising in all
Tesco Lotus branches throughout
Thailand since 2010. While VGI has
just renewed its contract with BigC for
the next five years and has signed a
new
advertising
contract
with
FamilyMart, these would not be
enough to offset the missing revenues
from Tesco Lotus.
According to a Nielsen survey, total

advertising in Oct 14 fell 9.6% yoy,
while transit advertising rose 18% yoy
and in-store advertising grew 13% yoy.
Meanwhile, the total adex fell 8.5%
yoy in 10M14; within this, in-store
dropped 30% yoy but transit rose
5.7% yoy. 2014 has been a tough year
for advertising spending due to the
political and economic issues faced by
the country. Our economist recently
cut 2014 GDP growth forecast to 0.6%
yoy from 1.5%.
Expanding outdoor media

In order to achieve its target to
become a major player in out-of-home
media, VGI bought stakes in Midas
Global Media (unlisted) and Master
