Situation
Exposure to Bangkok stores, where consumption is still resilient, may help sustain 3% FY15 earnings growth, the smallest ever. Recommend NEUTRAL with a THB7.60 TP (from THB11.00, 9% upside) on 26x FY16F P/E as we do not expect premium trading on the stock at this time. Next year’s outlook is likely to be more promising as net profit growth may accelerate to 12% on improved sales and stabilised profit margins.
