Infographic: Nickel price slump is a silver lining for stainless steel...

Despite a decline in prices, nickel output continues to grow. Rising production aggravates oversupply and weighs on prices, which is positive for sectors that use nickel as a raw material.

Thanachart Capital (TCAP TB) - 1Q24 Results Preview: Expect A yoy And ...

We expect TCAP to post a 1Q24 net profit of Bt1,739m (+10% yoy, +21% qoq). The qoq increase can be attributed to a rise in non-II. We expect TTB’s decent 1Q24 results to be the key driver of non-II’s augmentation. However, we anticipate a deterioration in asset quality in 1Q24, pressured by THANI’s high credit cost situation. TCAP’s valuation is not cheap. There is no exciting growth catalyst in the near term. Maintain HOLD. Target price: Bt53.00.

Thai Oil (TOP TB) - 1Q24 Net Profit Driven By Strong GRM

We estimate 1Q24 net profit at Bt5.3b, up qoq and yoy, driven by higher GRM and benzene spreads. Consequently, we expect TOP to achieve a market GIM of US$11.1/bbl, showing a qoq uptick. Although we expect the core profit trend for 2Q24 to decrease qoq, positive factors from the US’ driving season will likely lead to a recovery in GRM towards the latter part of 2Q24. Maintain BUY. Target price: Bt68.00.

In 1Q24, PTTEP disclosed a net profit of Bt18.7b, up 2% qoq, in line with our expectations. 2Q24 core profit should remain strong. We expect a qoq and yoy increase, driven by increased ASP and sales volume. PTTEP is poised to allocate additional investment to the Yadana project in Myanmar. It is prepared to extend the contract if there is potential for the development of gas production fields. Maintain BUY. Target price: Bt200.00.

We anticipate a net profit of Bt1.0b for AP in 1Q24 (-31% yoy, -23% qoq), pressured by decreased presales and the absence of new condos for transfers. However, in 2Q24, presales are expected to improve with many projects planned for launch. 2Q24 earnings would be driven by newly-completed condo projects. We remain optimistic about AP as the market leader because it is more resilient to multiple headwinds in the residential market than its peers. Maintain BUY. Target price: Bt13.50

2023 results were satisfactory but 1Q24 revenue growth was significantly slower than our estimate. We believe weak economic conditions may continue to put pressure on revenue growth. Aier continues to pursue service excellence by offering high valueadded services and products to attract patients and stay ahead of competition. Maintain BUY with a lower target price of Rmb15.00 to factor in the possible impact of the relatively weak economic conditions and intensifying competition.
