  • Delta Taiwan Vs. Thailand Monitor: Delta Thai Surges On No News; When Will SET50 Be Fixed?

Delta Taiwan Vs. Thailand Monitor: Delta Thai Surges On No News; When Will SET50 Be Fixed?

By Vincent Fernando, CFA

  • Delta Thailand surged 20% since our last trade monitor piece. This was without any significant news and the company received another query from the stock exchange as a result.
  • Delta Taiwan increased by a higher 22%, thus the extreme valuation mismatch between the two has corrected slightly. Delta Taiwan is still only 0.78x the market cap of Delta Thailand.
  • Delta Taiwan last week announced the acquisition of a German company that makes components for vehicles. This will strengthen Delta’s battery management product portfolio and add client relationships.

StubWorld: Intouch Not As Attractive As At First Glance

By David Blennerhassett

  • Intouch Holdings (INTUCH TB) is coming up cheap versus Advanced Info Service (ADVANC TB). Yet the longer-term view suggests otherwise. 
  • Preceding my comments on Intouch are the weekly setup/unwind tables for Asia-Pacific Holdcos.
  • These relationships trade with a minimum liquidity of US$1mn on a 90-day moving average, and a % market capitalisation threshold of at least 20%.

In today’s briefing:

  • CP ALL Pcl (CPALL TB) – Omnipresent Operator

CP ALL Pcl (CPALL TB) – Omnipresent Operator

By Angus Mackintosh

  • CP ALL is increasingly one of the best proxies for consumption in Thailand, with its broad exposure to convenience stores, hypermarkets, supermarkets, wholesale through Makro’s cash & carry stores.
  • The company continues to expand its store footprint and improve margins through a better product mix towards fresh and private labels, as well as group synergies around growing omnichannel sales. 
  • CP ALL is the largest weighting in MSCI Thailand and has seen pressure from foreign outflows due to political uncertainty but this may be about to work in its favour.

Thaifoods Group (TFG TB) – 2024E Earnings to Grow by 15%; Expecting a HoH Recovery in 2H23E

By Waraporn Wiboonkanarak

  • KTX has revised up our rating to Buy (fair value of Bt5.55, based on the earnings yield and a required rate of return of 9.0%).
  • The valuation metrics suggest that the tactical downside risk is limited after the share price drop of over 20% since before Songkran, and we have a positive view on the fundamentals in both the short and long term; we expect earnings growth of 15% YoY in 2024E due to the recovery in the gross profit margin and the expansion of the retail business.
  • TFG should also see the lowest operating expenses to sales amongst peers at around 6.2%, making the profit margin immune to pressure from meat price fluctuations.
