HUT - Profit Growth Gains Momentum

​Tasco (HNX:HUT) is a large private infrastructure investor in Northern Vietnam. The firm has actively raised fund to finance various PPP toll roads in the past years. Upon operation, these projects would provide the firm with a steady stream of cash flow over a long period. To create short-term growth, HUT decided to venture in real estate taking advantage of the land bank exchanged for ready-built infrastructure. FY2017 guidance is highly achievable given three open-for-sale real estate projects got sold out and await handovers. In 2018-2019, Foresa My Dinh villa project is expected as a source of earnings driver while full year operation of BOT Cau Nghin toll road from 2018 would improve HUT’s operating cash flow. We take HUT’s recent stance on postponing new BOT investments a positive signal with regard to lesser future capital need and reduced risk of share dilution. However, recent social unrest on toll road projects in Vietnam may put the firm under more scrutiny.
