Equity Bottom-Up

<p><a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/thai-beverage-pcl" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:3656:1" rel="noopener">Thai Beverage (THBEV SP)</a> had reported a strong improvement in its Thailand operations for 9MFY2021 suggesting that a recovery is underway and we expect this could look up further as the country opens to tourists from November 1st (ending quarantine for visitors to tourist destinations). The stock, at current levels, does not seem to factor in an earnings recovery given it is trading at conservative valuations even on current earnings.  In the insight below, we share SOTP based valuation to assess the stock's upside potential and discuss possible catalysts and timelines.</p>
