Termination of jack-up contracts in the Middle East has injected some uncertainty into the market, however dayrates and utilisation rates appear to be holding up well. Despite geopolitical tensions in that region, oil prices have not spiked to elevated levels while global oil demand has been robust. Recent US oil services companies’ 1Q24 results have been bullish, reinforcing our confidence in the sector. Sector rating: OVERWEIGHT.
We expect ONEE to report weak net earnings of Bt38m in 1Q24 (-27% yoy, -80% qoq), mainly impacted by higher selling costs and flat revenue and gross margin. Revenue could come in at Bt1.4b (flat yoy, -17% qoq) in 1Q24, pressured by advertising income, copyright, and production businesses. Despite the weak 1Q24 earnings, we believe ONEE’s outlook should improve afterwards. Maintain BUY. Target price: Bt6.20.
ITC reported 1Q24 core profit of Bt878m, up 112% yoy and 8% qoq. Although we expect the company’s 2Q24 earnings to continue to increase yoy and qoq, we expect its 2H24 earnings to face more headwinds following the lower ASPs, additional depreciation expenses from the new plant, and the minimum wage hike. Maintain HOLD. Target price: Bt20.00.
CK and STEC are expected to report net losses in 1Q24, at -Bt65m and -Bt27m respectively, mainly due to a higher share of loss from associates. We foresee the sector being pressured by the expectation of poor results in 1Q24. However, the earnings of CK and STEC are expected to improve in 2Q24. In addition, the sector is expected to benefit from public project bidding in 2Q-4Q24. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.

SMGR reported a net profit of Rp472b in 1Q24, down 16.0% yoy due to a contraction in the bag cement sales volume and lower ASP caused by the application of promotional discounts. However, 1Q24 results are still within expectations. We maintain our 2024 and 2025 NPAT estimates at Rp2.6t (+18.5% yoy) and Rp3.1t (+20.2% yoy) respectively. Maintain BUY with a target price of Rp7,000. We think the share price is significantly undervalued at below -2SD to its average five-year EV/EBITDA.
TOWR booked 1Q24 EBITDA of Rp2.5t, up 4% yoy and down 1% qoq, in line with our and consensus estimates. TOWR also booked net profit growth of +6% yoy in 1Q24. 1Q24 FTTT revenue jumped 16% yoy on FTTT network expansion. Our 2024 fibre and connectivity revenue growth forecast is 24% yoy (faster than tower’s revenue) with a higher revenue contribution (32% in 2024 vs 27% in 2023). Maintain BUY with a target price of Rp1,200.
INTP’s 1Q24 net profit fell 35.9% yoy and 65.1% qoq to Rp238b, mainly due to the low sales volume season and a decline in blended ASP. The results missed our and market expectations; however it may improve in 2Q24 as economic activities return to normal. We project 2024 net profit of Rp2.0t (+3.5% yoy) and 2025 NPAT of Rp2.2t (+7.2% yoy). Maintain BUY with a lower target price of Rp8,800 (previously Rp12,000). We still like INTP as it is trading at an attractive valuation of -1.5SD EV/EBITDA.
ACES reported 1Q24 NPAT of Rp205b, up 29.3% yoy but down 26.2% qoq. The reported 1Q24 is in line with both our and consensus forecasts. 1Q24 SSSG came in at 13.2%. 1Q24 net margin of 10.3% is below the pre-pandemic level. Sales rose 17% yoy in 1Q24 and operating leverage resulted in net income rising 29.3% in 1Q24. ACES’ guidance of 7% SSSG and 10% sales growth for 2024 could be conservative. We forecast a 23.7% yoy rise in 2024 NPAT. Maintain BUY on ACES with a target price of Rp1,200.
