Equity Bottom-Up

We have a SELL recommendation on CHAYO with our target price of Bt6.90, implying a downside of 16% from the current price. We derive our target price from the PB/ROE of Thai Diversified Financials and apply a 15% small-cap discount.
Investment thesis:
<ul>
<li>Rising level of bad loans in Thailand can boost core business</li>
<li>Economic uncertainty helps to expand the customer base for debt collection</li>
<li>Debt collection to further benefit from increasing mobile usage</li>
<li>High growth is priced in, warrant exercise to fund growth</li>
</ul>
Interim: The 2Q20 results were mainly in line with our expectations, slightly higher provisioning. We still think that CHAYO lags on enormous growth opportunities.
Risks: Increased competition in acquiring non-performing loans, loss from unsecured debt management, adverse regulatory changes, and potential litigation issues arising from debt collection service. A risk to our recommendation is that sentiment drives the share price considerably higher.
