RATCH: Steady Growth Outlook with Decent Dividend Yield

<p><strong>BCPG, GUNKUL, GULF top pick growth stocks</strong></p><ul>
<li>
<strong>Earnings upcycle in 2021:</strong> We expect BCPG, GULF and GUNKUL to achieve 15 to 30% net profit growth during 2021 on the back 12 to 30% power generation capacity expansion in 2020-21 period.</li>
<li>
<strong>Declining gas price to support SPP performance:</strong> The industrial user power sales of SPP players BGRIM, GPSC and GULF (accounting 10 to 20% of the revenue) has rebound to pre – COVID 19 levels as of 4Q20.  We expect the declining gas cost (-10% YoY) will help in revamping the GPM and support the sector performance.</li>
</ul><p><strong>EGCO, RATCH top pick value stocks</strong></p><ul>
<li>
<strong>Cheap valuation:</strong> The stock price of EGCO and RATCH faced 70% and 30% fall in 2020 respectively.

</ul><p><strong>Maintain HOLD rating on BGRIM, EA and GPSC</strong></p><ul><li>We have a positive view on BGRIM and GPSC as the SPP players will benefit from declining gas price. However, due to limit upside from current share price we maintain the HOLD rating.
