We expect 3Q24 combined core profit of the Thai electronic sector to improve 5% yoy due to higher revenue and better gross margin but drop 10% qoq from flat revenue and lower gross margin. Gross margin might not be strong in this quarter due to the impact of the baht appreciation. Looking ahead, we expect to see better core operation in 4Q24 and 2025. We maintain OVERWEIGHT on the sector with HANA and KCE as our top picks.
We expect HANA to post moderate revenue growth in 3Q24 due to the mix of positive and negative revenue growths of many segments. Gross margin would be pressured by a baht depreciation, but we believe revenue growth and the efficiency improvement of some operations will underpin the overall gross margin of HANA. We still like HANA and believe this is the upcycle for the electronics sector. Maintain BUY. Target price: Bt48.00.
