Bangkok Expressway and Metro / Equity Bottom-Up

<p>Low ridership and reopening have presented a dilemma to investors whether it is time to start building positions in the mass transport operator <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bangkok-expressway-and-metro-68c0c1b3-af0c-4380-a380-f3dc7ba5d5ac" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:22849:1" rel="noopener">Bangkok Expressway and Metro (BEM TB)</a> . On one hand, the low ridership presents room for improvement which means recovery of net income, therefore, a lower forward PE multiple. On the other hand, the reopening is yet to happen and how much is the increase in ridership is unclear. </p>
<p>With the reopening date is set, coming back to school, and the support from the Thai government to jump-start the tourism sector by having a grandiose New Year celebration with no less than sending an invite to the world-renown Andrea Bocelli to perform,  the mass transport ridership is set to increase from both the domestic reopening as well as from the increase in tourists arrival.</p>
