Quiddity Leaderboard for Thailand SET50 Jun 23:Ramkhamhaeng Hospital Is an Interesting Case

By Janaghan Jeyakumar, CFA

  • In this insight, we take a look at the potential ADDs/DELs for the SET50 index rebalance in June 2023.
  • Based on the latest available data, I expect 3 ADDs/DELs but there are multiple names lurking close to the border.
  • Srisawad (SAWAD TB)  and Sansiri Public (SIRI TB) are leading the SET50 and SET100 Reserve Lists respectively and could become intra-review ADDs if the DTAC-TRUE merger closes in 1H 2023.

  • CP ALL is a unique and high-quality proxy for the recovery in domestic consumer demand plus increasing tourist arrivals, which should soon see a further boost from China.

Esso Thailand: Ignore Bangchak Corp’s Takeunder

By David Blennerhassett

  • Back on the 11 January, refiner/retailer Bangchak Corporation (BCP TB)‘s board approved the purchase of a 65.99% stake in Esso Thailand (ESSO TB) from Exxon Mobil.
  • The purchase price remains indeterminate (the indicative price is Bt8.84/share), based on a pricing adjustment mechanism as it relates to Esso’s financial accounts at the close of the stake purchase.
  • Esso is down 17% since the announcement, and 37% from its recent (Oct-22) high. That seems excessive.
