Market corrections have not ended yet.
Therdsak Thaveeteeratham Executive vice president for research Asia Plus Securities Last week was the SET Index's correction period due mainly to the market's high price to earnings (P/E) ratio - 16.6 times. Given the already expensive prices, the SET instantly fell after facing pressure from the World Bank and IMF's downward revisions of global growth and Thai economic expansion.
Also, many countries' economic figures came out negative. This reflected fragility of the Thai stock market with its high P/E. During market drops, local institutional investors and foreign investors sold Thai stocks. However, the Thai stock market's P/E remains above 16, so we believe the market correction period has not ended yet.
The following indicators |must be monitored:
Listed companies' third-quarter earnings performance
In the first six months of this year, listed companies made a combined net profit of Bt418 billion, up 2.12 per cent year on year. Their average combined profit per quarter stays above Bt200 billion.
In the third quarter, based on preliminary assessment, the large manufacturing groups, particularly energy and petrochemicals, tend to see a gloomy outlook for net profit. Energy and petrochemical groups account for about 30 per cent of the market's net profit.
In the third quarter, the average oil price dropped by US$5 per barrel quarter on quarter, fuelling pressure on sales, while the oil price in the third quarter slid $10 per barrel quarter on quarter, and that prompted a stock loss. The refinery price plunged 23 per cent on quarter.
For petrochemical's aromatics, the spread between the prices of products and raw materials continues to narrow, against olefins products' better direction. This trend will likely lead to the group's lower third-quarter profit. Some like TOP may see a chance of a loss.
Commercial banks, which account for 25 per cent of the market's net profit, are expected to enjoy a profit recovery with a 1.5-per-cent rise on quarter. |Net interest margin is projected to be slightly positive due to less heated competition in raising deposits.
Market valuation
At the current SET altitude, the earnings yield gap, a risk premium for investors wanting to move money from one-year bonds into the stock market, stays at 4.19 per cent, lower than the 2004-to-now average of 4.95 per cent. This reflects the Thai stock market's relatively expensive valuation.
This could cause the SET Index to drop. If the gap is preliminary targeted at 4.5 per cent, this means the SET's P/E should stay at 15.38 and the SET Index at year-end should sink to 1,510 points. This is the market downside that could happen during market corrections. And at the current SET level, market corrections will continue for a while.
Based on the above analysis, this week the SET will likely face corrections for a period. We advise reducing speculative stocks - given price rises with no fundamental support, higher 2014 fair value and no continuity in dividend payments - and finding safe stocks with fundamental support instead.
Stock picks: AIT (fair value @Bt51), TASCO (@Bt70), BEC (@Bt56) and BTS (@Bt12).

The SET drifted a bit further by 1.1 per cent week on week to close at 1,552.72 due to concerns that the global economic expansion is dull. The IMF and World Bank joined to reduce global growth for 2014-15, citing structural reforms that have been too slow in several economic zones and are obstructing economic recovery.
That illustrates the potential downside to earnings estimates for listed corporations around the world. We view that the market correction should persist for this week as investors feel uncomfortable with the slow improvement in corporate earnings and macroeconomic data. We suggest investors to wait for cheaper valuations.
