Equity Bottom-Up

<p><em><strong>Property Grid</strong></em> is a new product from <em>MCorp Review</em> in 2021 to focus on Thai property. In our debut piece, we start off by visit two property companies, namely Pruksa (the leader in low-end housing) and Noble, a high-end developer touted by several brokers in late 2020.</p><ul>
<li>
<strong>Noble reported </strong>9M'20 net income of Bt1.24bn on the back of Bt7.4bn revenue, roughly double of last year's. The company has also been moving down-market into the affordable Nue segment and hopes to deliver Bt10bn by the end of this year.</li>
<li>Noble is also buying a 20% stake in SWP from SAWAD and simultaneously doing a 3-for-1 split and rights issue. Wow! Guess there's no rest for the wicked!</li>
<li>
<strong>Pruksa reported </strong>Q3'20 earnings of Bt603m (up 45% QoQ, down 34% YoY) on the back of Bt6.35bn revenues (up 3% QoQ, down 25% YoY). The developer treaded water as it discounted projects to get sales going, though it managed to check its leverage and cost of debts.</li>
