Thai Banks 2Q24 Screener; We Stick with Krung Thai for Best Value, We Downgrade Kasikorn to Neutral

By Victor Galliano

  • Krung Thai is our sole best value pick among the Thai banks, having solid post-provision profitability, near double digit ROE, a sound balance sheet and attractive PBV and PE ratios
  • We downgrade Kasikorn from buy to neutral, as it has an unattractive PEG and we believe it is more exposed to credit quality deterioration and potential cost of risk reversal
  • Bank Ayudhya is suffering from further credit quality deterioration which led to spike in its cost of risk; it now has the lowest NPL coverage relative to the peer group
