Maintain Buy with lower 2016E TP at Bt6.90 We have lowered our 2016E TP for AP to Bt6.9 (8x PER) from Bt7.6 due to the downward revision to 2015‐16E net profit by 8.5%‐10.4%, respectively. Nevertheless, we maintain Buy for long‐term investment as we expect AP’s core profit to grow by 10.0% in 2016E backed by the property stimulus measures. Moreover, it will continue to rise by 22.1% YoY in 2017E after the firm starts realizing a significant share of profit from JVs. We also expect AP to pay DPS of Bt0.28 for its performance in 2015E, implying a dividend yield of 5.0%. 2015 presales was in line with the firm’s target AP reported 4Q15 presales at Bt5.87bn (+13.2% YoY, +16.4% QoQ) as it opened five low‐rise projects (Bt2.7bn, sold 8%) and one JV condo (Life Pinklao, Bt3.1bn, sold 16%). The total presales achieved during 2015 amounted to Bt28.2bn, which was in line with the firm’s target of Bt28.3bn. In 2015, AP launched 16 low‐rise projects with a total value of Bt11.5bn and seven condo projects with a total value of Bt17.3bn. In 2016, it plans to launch low‐rise projects and condo projects with a total value of Bt33.1bn (+15% YoY). The firm targets its 2016 presales growth at 10‐12% YoY and the revenue target will increase around 6‐10% YoY. 4Q15E core profit to decrease YoY and QoQ We expect AP’s 4Q15 core profit at Bt531mn (‐12.8% YoY, ‐14.5% QoQ). We estimate 4Q15 transfers at Bt5.85bn (‐2.6% QoQ, +9.0% YoY), which is lower than our previous expectation due to the slower rate of some condo transfers, such as The Rhythm Sathorn (Bt5.3bn, 57% sold). In contrast, its low‐rise transfers were better than our previous prediction, implying that the firm’s low‐rise products meet customers’ demand. Cut 2015‐16E core profit forecasts by 8.5%‐10.4% We revised down our 2015‐16E transfer revenue estimates by 4.5% and 1.6%, respectively. Such downward revisions are mainly due to the high‐ rise transfer rate being lower than the previous forecast and the increasing percentage of the 2015‐16E SG&A/revenue assumptions as we expect the firm to incur more marketing costs to drive its presales and transfers. Hence, this brought the 2015‐16E core profit down by 8.9% and 10.4%.
