Thonburi Healthcare Group (THG TB): High Debt Has Clouded Near-Term Growth Prospect

By Tina Banerjee

  • Thonburi Healthcare Group (THG TB) has underperformed most of its peers over the last six months. Thus far this year, the company’s financial performance also remained unimpressive.
  • Despite a healthy 29% YoY increase in normalized medical services revenue, normalized net profit decreased 8% YoY in 3Q23 as the company experienced significantly higher financial costs.
  • Although the company is repaying debts, debt level is still elevated and is expected to remain so in the near-term due to upcoming capex plans.

AOT Vs MAHB: Part Deux

By Henry Soediarko

  • Airports of Thailand (AOT TB) 6m24 revenue growth rates are healthy, supported by the growth in departure passenger service charges and the coming back of concession revenues.
  • AOT labor expenses have expanded at an unprecedented level, even higher than pre-COVID levels, while Malaysia Airports Holdings (MAHB MK) kept them under control.
  • Book profit on half of the exposure and wait for the next quarter to see if AOT labor expenses will stay high.

By Janaghan Jeyakumar, CFA

  • The SET50 index tracks the performance of the top 50 largest and most liquid names listed in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET).

By Tina Banerjee

  • In 3Q23, Bumrungrad Hospital Pub Co (BH TB) reported 18% YoY revenue growth to THB6.8 billion, driven by 27% and 20% YoY growth in Thai and expat patients revenue, respectively.
  • Revenue from international patients grew 16% YoY, driven by Middle-east and China, which grew 31% and 21%, YoY, respectively. EBITDA, PAT, and their respective margins reached record high in 3Q23.
  • Due to heavy revenue exposure in Middle-east, the ongoing tension in the region is acting as a setback. Bumrungrad shares tumbled ~15% over the last one month.
