  • Using SoTP method, we raise QNS's target price to VND 55,800 from VND 54,000, based on the adjustment to increase net profit to VND 2,194 billion (+0% YoY) from VND 2,062 billion (-7% YoY). New/old EPS equivalent is 7,132/6,506 VND. The main reason is that we adjusted the forecast for soymilk segment revenue in 2024 to VND 4,217 billion (+5% YoY) from VND 4,068 billion (-5% YoY) of the previous forecast.
