Analyst Pin-board MSN – HSX: Higher Profit Margins Thanks To “Point-Of-Life" Consumer-Tech Model

·      1Q2022 NPAT strongly grew, driven by the improvement of profit margins of MCH, WCM and MHT. On the like-for-like basis, the revenue and NPAT post-MI were VND18,189 billion (-8.9% YoY) and VND1,596 billion (+753.5% YoY), respectively. The main driver of profit growth was improvement in profit margin of The CrownX (TCX) and Masan High-Tech Materials (MHT).

·       2022 revenue and net profit of MSN, excluded MNS Feed, is forecast at VND91.6 tn (+23.5% YoY) and VND6.2 tn (+63.9% YoY), driven by the growth of all of business lines. The top-line growth is supported by favorable business condition. The strong growth of net profit will come from the higher profit margin of MCH; the higher profit growth of VCM thanks to the “Point-of-life” consumer-tech model; and high profit margin of MHT.    

·      We recommend BUY on MSN share. Using the market price of VND119,000/share on May 05th 2022, forward P/E ratio and trailing P/E ratio (like-for-like basis) are expected to be 27.0x and 45.1x, respectively. With the rosy outlook of strong profit growth, we suggest that MSN is a good stock-pick for 2022.
