Quiddity Leaderboard SET50 Dec 23: DELTA Deletion Fears Unrealistic

By Janaghan Jeyakumar, CFA

  • In this insight, we take a look at the potential ADDs/DELs for Thailand’s SET50 index rebalance in December 2023.
  • Delta Electronics Thai (DELTA TB) – one of the largest SET 50 members – has been in the Market Surveillance Measure list a couple of times already this year.
  • Although this creates some doubts over the fate of DELTA’s SET50 membership, at present, I believe DELTA will escape deletion in December 2023.

Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (BDMS TB): Returning of International Patients Drove 1Q23 Performance

  • However, Thai patient revenues decreased 6% YoY due to a decrease of COVID-19 related revenues, in line with improving COVID-19 situation in Thailand.
  • BDMS targets to increase its bed capacity to ~9,000 beds in 2027 from 8,400 beds in 2022. BDMS targets revenue CAGR of 6–8% during 2023–2025.

TOA Paint (Thailand) (TOA TB) – An Unfortunate Turn of Events

By Angus Mackintosh

  • TOA Paint is Thailand’s leading decorative paints player with a 48% market share and a good track record but it has become caught up by association with STARK Corporation.
  • This looks like a guilt by association sell down given there are no visible business connections between STARK and TOA Paint but the eldest son of the family controls Stark.
  • The second son of the Patriarch is CEO of TOA Paint, which is otherwise enjoying a strong recovery in demand plus lower input costs. Valuations have declined to attractive levels.

ASEAN EV Ecosystem Series: Committed Towards Building a Regional EV Ecosystem

By Shifara Samsudeen, ACMA, CGMA

  • EV adoption in the ASEAN is very low compared to developed markets including the US, the Europe and China due to higher ASPs and lack of logistics, maintenance and repair.
  • However, there has been a rapid growth in EV related investment in the region recently, focusing on developing domestic EV markets to make them more affordable while conserving the environment.
  • The governments have put forward several incentives such as government funding, tax incentives to buy EVs, while introducing measures to discourage the use of ICE vehicles.

Stark Corporation: Not the Guy from the Movie

By Warut Promboon

  • STARK Corporation (STARK TB) (Stark) defaulted on its interest payments on 2-June, leading to a default event.
  • Stark’s default has exposed the structural weakness in the Thai bond market which is worth discussion.
  • We do not believe there is a reasonable basis for calculating the bond recovery value at this juncture.
