SCC : Meaningful QoQ Recovery Expected in 2Q22

By Pi Research

  • We maintain our BUY call with a TP of Bt445 based on 13.7xPE’22E,which is close to its 10-years trailing mean. We recommend investors to accumulate in light of 4% yield 
  • Solid QoQ improvement expected in 2Q22 core profit We forecast 2Q22 core profit at Bt9.2bn,decline 46%YoY but edge-up 19%QoQ.The YoY erosion is due to weaker assumed gross margin of 16.2%
  • We foresee chemical unit’s profit to fall 63%YoY but to march up 8%QoQ with wider spreads. In our view, the QoQ uptrend is underpin by solid PVC spread (+41%QoQ), despite 

DTAC : Better 2H22 Outlook from Tourism Recovery

By Pi Research

  • We maintain our HOLD rating and TP of Bt47.60 based on DTAC’s tender offer price. Conference call came with negative tone, as management lowered its guidance on core service revenue 
  • 2Q22 core profit was below expectation 2Q22 net profit was at Bt1bn (-34% YoY, +38% QoQ), growing QoQ due to a one-time Bt1bn deductible granted by the NBTC
  • Excluding extraordinary items, 2Q22 core profit should be at Bt573m, 33% below our forecast, declining both QoQ and YoY due to losses in subsidizing handset sales to attract subscribers.
