Thai Beverage Beer sales disappointed
■ 1QFY9/24 revenue (-6% yoy) disappointed due to a weaker beer segment (-14% yoy). 1Q group EBITDAwas +2% yoy on prudent cost management. ■ Weak beer sales in 1Q suggest volume deterioration in TH while VN also remained weak; spirits sales resilient with ASP hike offsetting lower volumes. ■ Downgrade to Hold. Valuations are undemanding, but we see risks for beer business with slow VN recovery and competitive threat from a new entrant.

Far East Hospitality Trust (FEHT SP) 2H23: Fastest Growth With Lowest Risk
FEHT will benefit from the recovery of MICE events and strong line-up of concerts at the National Stadium due to its single-minded focus on Singapore. The incentive fee of S$18m from the divestment of Central Square could be utilised to cushion the negative impact of higher interest rates. FEHT provides 2024 distribution yield of 6.4%. Its low P/NAV of 0.71x is unwarranted given good corporate governance, strong sponsor and low aggregate leverage of 31.3%. Maintain BUY. Target price: S$0.82.

Thai Beverage (THBEV SP) 1QFY24: In Line As Margins Improve
THBEV released its 1QFY24 business update whereby overall revenue fell 5.9% yoy, dragged by the beer segment. However, 1QFY24 EBITDA increased 1.9% yoy on more efficient A&P spending along with lower raw material costs. The spirits segment continues to benefit from a better product mix while the beer segment faces a weak macroeconomic outlook. In our view, THVBEV is trading at an attractive -2SD to its mean PE. Maintain BUY with the same SOTP-based target price of S$0.70.
