Airport of Thailand (AOT): Near Term Gain

By Henry Soediarko

  • Chinese tourists are back, and the Thai government has launched a series of initiatives to woo them back.
  • Discounts to airlines offered by Airports of Thailand (AOT TB) will not hurt earnings much, although if extended for >12 months,  AOT earnings could lag their peers.
  • Valuation is still expensive, although it is expected to normalize once earnings are back. Collapse the RV trade against Malaysia Airports Holdings (MAHB MK) and buy for the short term.

Thonburi Healthcare Group (THG TB): High Debt Has Clouded Near-Term Growth Prospect

By Tina Banerjee

  • Thonburi Healthcare Group (THG TB) has underperformed most of its peers over the last six months. Thus far this year, the company’s financial performance also remained unimpressive.
  • Despite a healthy 29% YoY increase in normalized medical services revenue, normalized net profit decreased 8% YoY in 3Q23 as the company experienced significantly higher financial costs.
  • Although the company is repaying debts, debt level is still elevated and is expected to remain so in the near-term due to upcoming capex plans.
