SUMMARY

We initiate coverage on ACE with a SELL recommendation based on a target price of Bt2.64, implying a downside of 36% from the current price. We derive the target price from a de-rating to a 25% premium to the sector PE ratio, meaning a 2020E 29.4x PE.

Investment thesis:

  • Power producer with high growth potential, but already priced in
  • Long-term contracts and supply control drive high profitability
  • Government driven demand can pose a risk

Risks: Adverse regulatory changes, reliance on a few customers, volatility in fuel prices, unexpected disruptions in production, delays in project execution, change in political leadership can sometimes impact companies.
