Thai Beverage Strong rebound post lockdown ■ THBEV saw a strong rebound in 1QFY22 as its key geographies emerged from lockdown – revenue/EBITDA rose 59%/94% qoq. ■ We are confident of continued recovery as the economy reopens further; price hikes and prudent cost management should help uphold its margins. ■ Reiterate Add and TP of S$0.91; THBEV is our sector top pick as we believe it is a laggard recovery play. |
Silverlake Axis Ltd Rising tide
■ 2QFY6/22 core net profit of RM59.5m was above expectations given stronger order wins. GPM was stronger at c.62% due to higher licencing revenue. ■ Order wins of RM176m in 2QFY6/22 were a record high (FY21: RM326m). Potential deal pipeline robust at c.RM1.3m, with RM180m close to finalising. ■ Reiterate Add with higher TP. We think SILV is poised to benefit from banks’ rising investment appetite for tech upgrades amidst a rising rate cycle.

Thai Beverage (THBEV SP) 1QFY22: Solid Results; Recovery Has Just Started
THBEV released its 1QFY22 results, with revenue and EBITDA in line with our expectations. This was driven by a stronger-than-expected recovery in the beer and food segments. The spirits segment posted strong revenue growth but was dragged down by rising material costs. We opine that THBEV is an attractive and undervalued COVID-19 recovery play with high potential upside. Maintain BUY with a higher SOTPbased target price of S$0.90 (previously S$0.85).
