A. Stotz Investment Research

We pick stocks. We construct portfolios. All our effort is focused on how to better pick stocks and construct portfolios. We serve fund management companies, family offices, and high net worth individuals.

Equity Bottom-Up

We maintain our BUY recommendation on STI based on an unchanged target price of Bt9.95, implying an upside of 16% from the current share price. We derive our target price from a DCF-based valuation using a WACC of 6.5% and a terminal growth rate of 3%. We apply a 15% small-cap discount.
Investment thesis:
<ul>
<li>Recent acquisition gives access to government infrastructure projects</li>
<li>Major shareholder as a key strategic partner for deal flow</li>
<li>Backlog ensures strong near-term growth and revenue stability</li>
</ul>
Interim: The 1Q21 results confirm that the AEC acquisition is value accretive and provides high upside potential. The revenue came in stronger than we assumed, while the gross margin was slightly lower, resulting in an unchanged profitability outlook.
Risks: Reliance on limited industries, delay in project completion, shortage of experienced personnel, and adverse regulatory changes.

STI: Attractive Dividend Play with Further Upside

We maintain our BUY recommendation on STI based on a target of Bt9.95 (previously Bt9.20), implying an upside of 22% from the current share price. We derive our target price from a DCF-based valuation using a WACC of 6.5% and a terminal growth rate of 3%. We apply a 15% small-cap discount.

Interim: Like the previous quarters, 4Q20 growth was largely due to the consolidation of AEC. Revenue was up by 123% YoY. Overall, the results confirm our expectations that the AEC acquisition is value accretive and provides high upside potential.
Risks: Reliance on limited industries, delay in project completion, shortage of experienced personnel, and adverse regulatory changes.

STI: Acquisition Pays off Immediately, Still Further Upside

We maintain our BUY recommendation on STI based on a target of Bt9.20 (previously Bt10.10), implying an upside of 34% from the current share price. We derive our target price from a DCF-based valuation using a WACC of 6.4% and a terminal growth rate of 3%. We apply a 15% small-cap discount.

Interim: Like 2Q20, 3Q20 growth was largely due to the consolidation of AEC. Revenue was up by 162% YoY and 22% QoQ. Overall, the results confirm our expectations that the AEC acquisition is value accretive and provides high upside potential.

STI: Acquisition Synergies Should Lead to Further Upside

We have a BUY recommendation on STI based on our target of Bt10.10, implying an upside of 31% from the current share price. With the consolidation of AEC, we change our valuation method from sum-of the-parts to a DCF-based valuation and use a WACC of 6.8% and a terminal growth rate of 3%. We apply a 15% small-cap discount.

<ul>
<li>Recent acquisition gives access to government infrastructure projects</li>
<li>Major shareholder as a key strategic partner for deal flow</li>
<li>Backlog ensures strong near-term growth and revenue stability</li>
</ul>
Interim: Large-scale projects and the successful integration of AEC have driven strong 2Q20 results. We still believe that the market does not consider the benefits of the acquisition to the full extent, providing high upside potential.
Risks: Reliance on limited industries, delay in project completion, shortage of experienced personnel, and adverse regulatory changes.
