Tags:

  • In 8M 2022, VHC released revenue of VND 9,963 Bn (or USD 424 Mn, +75% YoY), driven by the growth of all products. Results beat our expectations due to the sooner recovery of the US market, leading us to revise up our FY22 projections. In FY2022, we forecast revenue and NPAT to be VND 14,265 Bn (or USD 607 Mn, +58% YoY) and VND 2,353 Bn (or USD 100 Mn, +113% YoY), respectively.
  • In 3Q2022, we forecast VHC’s revenue and NPAT to reach VND 3,570 Bn (or USD 152 Mn, +60% YoY and -16% QoQ) and VND 553 Bn (or USD 24 Mn, +117% YoY and -29% QoQ), respectively. We maintain the view that VHC’s NPAT was likely to peak in 2Q2022, resulting from the comedown of the US market’s revenue in 2H2022 compared to 1H2022.
  • We revise up our target price by 6.8% to VND 97,200/share as we increase our FY2022 EPS projection by 7.7%, justified by the gradual demand recovery of the US market. Our TP puts FY2022 P/E at 7.7x with the corresponding EPS of 12,574 VND, equivalent to the five-year average P/E. We recommend to ACCUMULATE this stock with an expected return of 10%.

Tags:

  • SIP’s IP portfolio has a total area of up to 3,207 ha in prime location. In particular, the available for lease area is approximately 1,000 hectares. This is enough supply for SIP to exploit in the long term.
  • Residential real estate and utility services segments are oriented to sustainable development in the long term. We see that SIP is oriented to follow the model of 1 closed ecosystem that deploys other complementary business activities to support industrial park’s operation.
  • In 2022, SIP plans consolidated revenue of VND 5,200 billion and NPAT of VND 668 billion, down 7% and 26% YoY respectively. In the first 6 months of 2022, SIP recorded revenue of VND 3,086.7 billion, up 3% and completed 59.4% of the year plan. Meanwhile, NPAT reached VND 501.26 billion, down 9% YoY and completed 60% of the year plan.
  • We saw SIP as a potential investment not only in terms of land bank but also the ability to exploit accompanying services to increase the added – value for the firm. Besides, a healthy balance sheet will help SIP maintain an annual cash dividend of at least 2,000 VND/share. After adjusting the unearned revenue target to synchronize the accounting method with other peers, the adjusted P/B of SIP is 1.33, which is lower than the industry average of 2.

  • ICT retailers will have 1-2 weeks more to sell new iPhone products in Q4 this year compared to the same period last year. This, combined with the fact that iPhone products (1) make up the majority of retailers' total Apple products sales (~2/3) and (2) generally record good purchasing power in the first quarter of launching, will significantly boost Apple's revenue of ICT retailers, and distributors in Q4-2022.

The two main sales channels were ETC (hospital) and OTC (pharmacy) with positive growth, recording net revenue of VND 369 billion (+13% YoY) and VND 257 billion (+13% YoY).
  • DBD has been expanding coverage in drugstores thanks to the data ownership of 40,000 pharmacies that has been standardized to build a Master Coverage Plan (MCP) for the sales team. The company pushed the number of retailers up from 14,800 in 2021 to 17,500 in 6M2022.
  • The process of approving the GMP – EU standards for Nhon Hoi anti-cancer factory could not be completed with the plan because the approval of the factory abroad has not been given priority by the European health organizations. The company set new plans to achieve GMP – EU standards for the production line of injectables and pills (belonging to Nhon Hoi anti-cancer factory) in June 2023 and March 2024, respectively.

Tags:

  • 1H2022 revenue of the plant protection business (also named LTV) of Loc Troi Group (Upcom: LTG) had a negative growth of -6.6% YoY to VND1,948 bn. In Dec-2021, LTG terminated the partnership with Syngenta (accounting for ~30% of total sales of LTV), dragged down the revenue of LTV in 2022.
  • To fuel long-term growth of this business without Syngenta, LTG is restructuring its selling policy. Consequently, the Q2/2022 gross margin of the LTV segment went down to 20.6% (-2,890 bps QoQ; -1,450 bps YoY).  We expect that LTG will continue extending the new selling policy in 2H2022. As a result, 2022 gross margin of LTV will have a hard time to improve.
  • We believe that the 2022 performance will reflect all of the negative effect of the termination of the Syngenta partnership. 2023 results  are expected to show growth due to 1) 2022 low-base; 2) higher market share thanks to the successful selling strategy; and 3) LTG ‘s agriculture ecosystem.

  • BHX sales grew for the fifth consecutive month despite the closure of about 400 stores in recent months. TGDD & DMX revenue, on the other hand, decreased slightly compared on monthly basis amid the low season.
  • We project that MWG is likely to miss this year's profit guidance mainly due to BHX's large loss after the restructuring process, but we believe that the chain's efficiency will improve more clearly in 2023.
  • Forecasted revenue / NPAT are VND 139 trillion (+13% YoY) / VND5,900 billion (+20% YoY) for 2022F and VND 162 trillion (+16% YoY) / VND 8,500 billion (+44% YoY) for 2023F. 2022F/2023F EPS stay at 4,000 VND / 5,700 VND respectively. 2022F/2023F P/E are4x/12.9x,<

Textile & garment – Short-term challenges in 2H 2022

: Loan Nguyen
Tags:

  • In 1H2022, Vietnam's textile and garment exports were USD 18.53 Bn, up 20.8% YoY, driven by the strong pent-up demand after lockdowns ended in many developed countries and the recovery of domestic production activities.
  • Apparel demand starts to face softening demand, especially in the US, due to inflationary pressure to reduce new apparel orders. In addition, material prices have soared due to global disruptions, contracting garment companies’ gross margin.
  • In the next 3-5 years, we believe that the textile and garment industry will gradually regain its inherent growth momentum, thanks to favorable factors from the recovery of the importing countries' economies, the trend of changing orders from China to Vietnam, taking advantage of trade agreements and improving the production value chain. Therefore, the medium-term difficulties may be an investment opportunity for investors if stock prices discount.
