ADVANC's 1Q25 net profit is projected to rise 14% yoy and 4% qoq to Bt9.76b, mainly on the back of revenue improvement and cost reduction. We estimate 1Q25 revenue at Bt55.4b (+4% yoy, -2% qoq), supported by the mobile and FBB businesses. EBITDA margin should be strong due to the high base of SG&A in 4Q24 brought about by increased performance-based staff costs, the impact of TTTBB consolidation, and provisions for obsolete assets. Maintain BUY with a higher target price of Bt330.00.
