Analyst Pin-board FMC – New factories likely to drive profits stronger than expected

·         We revise our TP by 14% from the latest valuation to VND 69,500, implying an expected return (including cash dividend yield) of 15%. Our increased target price is driven by: (1) a 21% upward revision in 2022F-2026F NPAT-MI as we increase our projected shrimp export volume and gross margin; (2) raising 2022 target PER from 10.5x to 12.0x due to improving long-term NPAT growth outlook and the current growth cycle of the seafood industry. We have an ACCUMULATE rating for this stock.

·         In 2M-2022, FMC’s export revenue grew strongly by 70% YoY, mainly driven by high shrimp demand and the contribution of Tam An factory.

·         In 2022, we forecast FMC’s revenue and NPAT-MI to be VND 6,551 Bn (or USD 285 Mn, +26% YoY) and VND 360 Bn (or USD 16 Mn, +35% YoY). We believe that a double-digit NPAT growth will be seen in 2022 due to the contribution of two new factories. Our upside risk is better-than-expected new factory capacity while downside risk comes from cooling-down global shrimp demand, higher logistics costs and increasing raw material prices.
