They also increased a forecast dividend increase. lifting the H2 dividend from ¥7/share to ¥11/share. The stock opened up 6% the next day, but fell during the day and then fell some more today so the stock is only 1.5% higher than that news.Today after the close, the company released a revised Shareholder Returns Policy (<a href="https://pdf.irpocket.com/C3284/HTFv/lQzd/kIav.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Japanese</a>), which lifts the payout ratio to 40%, or more, and the Distribution of Equity rate to 4%, or more, per year.

All Inspire Development / Equity Bottom-Up

We maintain our BUY recommendation on ALL but revise down our target price to Bt4.00 (previously Bt4.39), implying an upside of 23% from the current price. We derive our target price from a 20% discount to the 2021E PE ratio of Asia ex Japan Real Estate and apply a 15% small-cap discount.
Investment thesis:
<ul>
<li>Recent investment in shopping mall diversifies revenue stream</li>
<li>Partnership with Japanese firms as a gateway to efficient residential development</li>
<li>Pipeline residential projects ensure constant near-term growth</li>
</ul>
Interim: Third-quarter revenue was down 55% YoY, and ALL made a net loss before unusual items. Overall, the 3Q20 results make us revise down our 2020E forecast significantly. We expect a slowdown in sales and recognition of current projects.
Risks: Increased competition and slowdown in demand for residences, rising land and construction costs, delayed construction and transfer of projects, access to capital.
