Analyst Pin-board FMC – 2021 preliminary results: Earnings beat the guidance

·         We maintain our target price of VND 61,000 and have an ACCUMULATE rating for FMC, implying an expected return of 19% on one-year investment horizon, based on the closing price on Jan 06th 2022. We think FMC will be suitable for investors looking to invest in a seafood company with profits that are less volatile compared to the industry and grow steadily year over year.

·         FMC announced its preliminary results for FY2021 with export revenue of USD 213 Mn (~VND 4,900 Bn, +12% YoY) and EBT of VND 280 Bn (+18% YoY).

·         Key drivers of FY2022-2023 earnings growth are: (1) favorable shrimp sector prospects driven by high demand and the US antidumping duty on Indian shrimp, (2) selling prices to grow faster than raw shrimp prices, (3) two new factories to start operating in 2022. We project revenue and NPAT to reach VND 5,698 Bn (or USD 248 Mn, +16% YoY) and VND 338 Bn (or USD 15 Mn, +28% YoY) in 2022.
