HMPRO: Expect 4Q21 Earnings to Be the Highest of This Year

By Research Group at Country Group Securities

  • We maintain BUY rating for HMPRO with a target price to Bt16.10, derived from 35xPE’22E, or implying 40% premium to Thai Consumer Discretionary.
  • We expect HMPRO to report 4Q21 net profit at Bt1.57bn (+2%YoY, +80%QoQ),thanks to stores sales recovery (SSSG at +10%YoY) supported by pent-up demand, demand from home renovation after a flood
  • We foresee 2022E earnings to grow to Bt6bn close to pre-COVID levels (+16%YoY) supported by 1) a solid revenue growth at 4% close to Thailand GDP growth from re-opening stores
