Report

LTG - A long road ahead

We assess that Loc Troi is a company with strong fundamentals and solid core business activities. The CPC sector has a low growth rate but it has a high gross profit margin and a leading position in the CPC market. The rice segment has improved both its gross profit margin and its revenue contribution to LTG but the efficiency has not been significant. Recently, the company has focused on developing and promoting its rice sector but due to objective reasons from the general market, this sector contribution is still modest. In addition, we believe that LTG's joint venture with Vien Thi Ho Nam in China in the context of its tightening of rice export conditions will bring advantages to the company compared to other traders.

In terms of valuation, LTG is trading at a quite attractive PE compared to other companies operating in the same industry. In addition, we think low liquidity is an obstacle to LTG stock price. The plan to switch to listing on HOSE  is expected to bring a positive impact on the company stock. We estimate the fair price of LTG at VND 29,400, which is 18% higher than the closing price on March 26th, 2019. We have an ACCUMULATE recommendation for this stock.
