IMP - Benefiting from Many Supporting Policies

​We have decided to change our recommendation from NEUTRAL to BUY for IMP. Considering the growth prospects of IMP, we believe that a valuation of VND80,000/share, equivalent to P/E of 21x is appropriate for 2018. Compared to the closing price of VND63,000/share on September 15, the target price, coupled with a stable dividend of VND1,800/share, yields a total expected return of 30%.

It is not a bargain-hunting opportunity as its stock is trading at P/E of 23x for 2017. IMP has a growth stock story, in which our analyst believes that in the long run, the company will have high growth potential, thanks to the upcoming supporting policies. The company also possesses a durable competitive advantage, which is a modern EU-GMP factory system that only a few other domestic manufacturers can barely compete with. This facility also makes IMP an ideal target for foreign pharmaceutical counterparts. This could potentially lead to a strategic partnership and/or an FOL story, becoming a catalyst for the stock price as in the case of DMC and DHG.
