Equity Bottom-Up

<p>Considering that the COVID-19 affected Gourmet Master’s 2Q21 profit and that uncertainties become greater in 2H21, we revise down FY21 EPS forecast to NT$6.01 and estimate FY22 EPS at NT$7.79. Gourmet Master’s recent share price has reflected downward revision to FY21 profit. Looking into 2H21-2022, we expect the company’s profit to trend up. Therefore, we reiterate BUY on Gourmet Master, but trim the TP to NT$160 (25x FY22 PER) to reflect downward revision to FY21 profit.</p><div class="content-highlight"><em>Content is external broker report sourced from online content aggregator through publicly available sources and is displayed below for general informational purposes only.
