MSN – Higher-year ago level of income from JVs pushed the bottom-line up in 9M2022

  • In Q3 2022, Masan Group (HSX: MSN) posted net sales of VND19,523 bn (+9.5% QoQ; -17.3% YoY). The strong negative YoY growth is due to the deconsolidation of the feed segment. In detail, Q3 2022 excluded-feed sales growth was –2.1% YoY, driven by lower revenue from WCM.
  • We expect that 2022 core revenue of MSN will show a positive growth despite of rising inflation, supported by double-digit growth of MHT and modest growth of consumer segments (MCH, MML). However, we predict that 2022 bottom-line will decrease, in the pillar of, 1) rising agriculture commodity costs; and 2) higher SG&A expenses.  
  • Based on SoTP valuation, we evaluate MSN at VND 101,400 per share. We recommend to ACCUMULATE on MSN shares with the 12-months total expected return of +9.5% compared to closing price of VND92,600 on Dec 27th 2022.
