PVD - Domestic market can provide some stability

“ Considering the outbreak in Malaysia, PVD has decided to retreat to Vietnam and find domestic jobs for its three rigs in late-2020 and 2021. PVD’s improved rig utilization in 2021 will pave the way for its revenue growth and cash flow management, though not strong enough profit-wise. On the other hand, we believe the well service segment will remain stable throughout 2021 benefiting from higher rig operating days. Overall, PVD is able to maintain its financial health whereas NPAT can end up lower YoY due to a lack of one-off financial income.  Taking into account the currently elevated valuation for the whole Vietnamese stock market, we raised PVD’s P/B to 0.6x (previously 0.5x) and EV/EBITDA to 11.5x (previously 9x) and have target price of  VND 20,500, equivalent to a total return  of 3% based on the closing price on February 5th, 2021. Our recommendation has changed to NEUTRAL, as we think the mentioned good news for 2021 has been factored in the share price. “
