Equity Bottom-Up

<p>AH’s earnings picked up solidly in 1H21 thanks to the auto market recovery. While the domestic momentum remains intact, the overseas performance looks more challenging. But with the stronger-than- expected GPM in 1H21, our 2021E earnings estimate is revised up by 13%. We retain our Buy rating, with the new 2021E target price of Bt31 (from Bt27.90 previously), pegged with a PER of 11x (LT average +0.25 S.D.)</p>
