What’s New: In this first take following tonight’s results, we touch on: 1. 1Q24 roughly in-line, but 2Q24 and 2024 guidance lower 2. Tinder trough deepens, but still on track for 3Q24 sequential payer growth 3. Hinge growth in line with guidance: RPP better than expected, payers a little light 4. Adjusted OI margins solid, but higher GAAP items called out 5. Share buyback target moved to 75% of FCF from prior 50% target
We expect PTT to report a 1Q24 net profit of Bt27.9b, down 15% qoq and flat yoy. However, core profit is expected to grow both qoq and yoy, driven by profits from the gas business and enhanced profits from subsidiaries and affiliates. Despite negative factors stemming from the ERC's announcement of a new LNG tariff and supply margin rate adjustment, along with the restoration of the second shortfall, we have maintained our core profit forecast for 2024. Maintain BUY. Target price: Bt39.00
We are optimistic on Shenzhou’s order growth in 2024, which will be mainly driven by Adidas and PUMA as destocking activities are coming to an end, although orders from Nike will see only modest growth. Shenzhou’s gross margin will improve sequentially to a normalised level by end-24, in our view, driven by higher capacity utilisation and product optimisation. Maintain BUY and raise target price by 6% to HK$99.60.
We expect AOT’s 2QFY24 earnings to continue to rise yoy and qoq, mainly contributed by an increase in air traffic with the 12% qoq growth in international passenger numbers. 2QFY24 earnings are expected to come in at Bt6.1b, with 2024 earnings based on our assumption of 119m passengers vs AOT’s target of 120m. With visible positive catalysts, we believe AOT will gradually recover along with Thailand’s tourism. Maintain BUY. Target price: Bt75.00.
MTC reported a 1Q24 net profit of Bt1,389m (+30% yoy, +3% qoq). The results were in line with consensus estimates. The company’s credit costs continue to decrease yoy and qoq, with credit cost and NPL ratio peaking in 3Q23. We are optimistic about MTC’s asset quality outlook. Upgrade to BUY with a higher target price of Bt54.00.
Major indicators of the Hong Kong property sector weakened, with: a) primary transaction volume falling to around 1,800 units in April, and b) retail sales declining 7% yoy in March. For May-Jun 24, we expect: a) primary sales to normalise to 1,200- 1,700 units, and b) -3% to 0% yoy growth in retail sales. Interest rate and tourism related policies are the key factors to watch. We maintain MARKET WEIGHT on the sector. The pecking order remains unchanged: retail>residential>office. Top picks: SHK...
TIDLOR reported 1Q24 net profit of Bt1.1b (+16% yoy, +23% qoq). The results were above consensus forecasts by 6%. Credit costs showed a qoq improvement due to lower provision expenses. Meanwhile, NPL ratio increased slightly qoq. However, the loan loss coverage ratio remains high at 264% to cushion against future uncertainties. We expect Tidlor Holding to boost the company's performance and support its growth. Maintain BUY. Target price: Bt30.00.
Going through a prolonged funding winter, China’s biopharma market is still growing at a CAGR of 6.9% in 2019-24, outpaced the global industry. Leading players have continuously enhanced their R&D capabilities with increasing new product launches. Innovation is driving growth and supporting the industry’s rosy outlook. The number of innovative drugs launched in China rocketed from 1 in 2017 to 34 in 2023. Our top picks are Innovent and Hansoh Pharma. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT on the sector.
The results are in line with our expectations. AP reported a net profit of Bt1,008m for 1Q24 (-32% yoy, -24% qoq), pressured by a decrease in transfers and decline in gross margins. AP is expected to see an improvement in presales in 2Q24. Meanwhile, 2Q24 earnings are expected to rebound from the previous quarter, supported by newlycompleted condo projects and low-rise backlog. Maintain BUY. Target price: Bt13.50.
