Maintain “BUY” with 2016E target price at Bt7.70/share We maintain the 2016E target price for AP at Bt7.70 pegged with 8x PER and maintain Buy as we expect AP’s core profit to pick up in 4Q15 thanks to an anticipated QoQ increase in its transfer revenue. We also anticipate that its 1Q16 core earnings will fully benefit from the recently announced stimulus measures aimed at boosting the property sector. 9M15 presales account for 79% of the company’s target AP reported 3Q15 presales at Bt5bn (‐38.5% YoY, ‐60.0% QoQ) as it opened five low‐rise projects (Bt4.9bn, sold 11%) and one condo (Aspire Erawan Phase I (Bt3.5bn, sold 8%). However, the total presales achieved during 9M15 amounted to Bt22.3bn, which accounts for 79% of the firm’s target of Bt28.3bn (+27.6% YoY), the highest level in the sector. Core profit to have declined YoY and QoQ We forecast AP’S 3Q15 core profit at Bt627mn (‐39.3% YoY, ‐0.3% QoQ). Its transfer revenue may have dropped to Bt5.4bn (‐28.7% YoY, +2.3% QoQ) as customers delayed decisions to buy and transfer housing units while awaiting the stimulus package from the government. Also, its condo backlog available for transfer was smaller than the amount seen last year. However, we project a 3Q15E net profit of Bt750mn (‐27.6% YoY, +16.6% QoQ) on the booking of extra before‐tax gain of Bt153mn from the sale of a subsidiary (AP Ekkamai) to the JV company. 4Q15E core profit to mark the high point for the year We expect AP’s core profit to peak in 4Q15E, which should be boosted largely by the expected strong transfer revenue from both low‐rise and high‐rise projects thanks to the potentially positive outcome of the measures designed to stimulate the property sector. Two new completed condo projects in 4Q15 (Bt1.3bn, 53% sold) will also help to boost the firm’s transfer revenue growth in 4Q15. Cut 2015E core profit forecast by 9.7% but maintain 2016E forecast We revised down our 2015‐16E transfer revenue estimates by 6.2% and 1.3%, respectively. Such downward revisions are mainly due to low‐rise transfers being lower than the previous forecast. We also cut 2015‐16E transfer expenses by 25.6% and 33.8%, respectively, from the previous projections (due to the cut in transfer fees from 1% to 0.01% from 19 Oct 15 to 30 Apr 16). This brought the 2015E core profit down by 9.7% and the 2015E net profit down by 5.5%. Nevertheless, we maintain the 2016E core profit as the lower transfer forecast will be offset by the lower SG&A estimate from the transfer fee cut.
