Result Update Report: PC1 - Cautious with growth expectations ahead

The authorized PDP VIII increases PC1's medium and long-term growth prospects through transmission grid building and renewable energy initiatives. However, we believe that in 2023, the two core segments that contribute the most to PC1's profit structure, namely power construction and power generation, would likely post poorer business results than in the previous year. The year 2023 is also predicted to see contributions from nickel mining and Nomura IP management and operation. We expect the two new projects to make up for the profit gap caused by weaker power construction and power-generating segments, based on a conservative assessment of their contribution to PC1's profit structure.

Using the sum of the parts (SoP) and P/E methods at a ratio of 70/30, we determine the fair value of PC1 stock at VND 28,300/share for a one-year outlook. We believe that the expectation of earnings growth seems priced in. Therefore, with an expected return of -2% based on the closing price of 24/07/2023, we recommend NEUTRAL to PC1.
