Bright profitability; good dividends and share price implying upside We upgrade our rating on TMT to “Buy” (from Outperform) as the firm’s 1Q17E earnings are likely to beat our previous forecast and we expect its 2Q‐4Q17 earnings to be better than the past. Therefore, we believe our 2017E earnings projection seems achievable. Also, the current share price implies potential upside of 33% vs. the DDM‐based target price of Bt20.25/share. We still like TMT for its integrated steel center business with effective management and strong profitability. TMT is expected to offer an excellent dividend yield of 7.3% in 2017. 1Q17E earnings to be better than previously expected with strong sales outlook We have revised up our 1Q17 earnings projection for TMT by 6.4% to Bt267mn (vs. Bt251mn previously), down 4%YoY and 30%QoQ, to reflect the likelihood that the sales volume may beat our previous estimate of 162k tons by 10% to 179k tons thanks to strong sales momentum from clients in the construction material sector (both private and state clients) along with industrial clients (i.e., producers of electricity poles). We now assume an average selling price of Bt21/kg (+9%YoY, +11%QoQ) due to better steel prices during January to February (but weaker in March) in line with global prices. The average selling price remains rather good. We thus expect the firm’s sales value to hit a quarterly record high at Bt3.67bn (+19%YoY, +25%QoQ). As TMT has low‐cost raw material stocks, we expect a gross profit margin at 12.9% (vs. 14.7% in 1Q16 and 10.9% in 4Q16). Bright 2Q‐4Q17E earnings growth; 2017E earnings forecast maintained If the 1Q17 earnings are line with the expectation, the result will account for 41% of our 2017E projection of Bt648mn. The firm’s 2Q‐4Q17 earnings are projected at around Bt130mn/quarter (better than the past at Bt60‐80mn/quarter) We view that this projection is likely to be achievable for TMT as an integrated steel service provider with good management. We thus leave our 2017E earnings forecast unchanged. Targeting sales growth of 10‐15% p.a. with safe expansion plan Due to TMT’s strategy to act as an integrated steel service center that can serve customers well, TMT will have a market share of 18% for HRC products and the firm is expected to run at almost full capacity. Therefore, to achieve its growth target of 10‐15% p.a. in the next three years, TMT will have to expand its capacity by 200k tons p.a. (focusing on structural steel and steel pipes) to 1mn tons/year in the next three years, with capex of Bt1.2bn. The firm will gradually invest in the domestic steel market (the firm has recently prepared land for building a plant and a new warehouse and ordered machinery). The funding will come from long‐term borrowing (bank loans or debentures) to support sustainable growth in the future. We expect EBITDA to show average growth from Bt557mn p.a. during 2010‐2015 to Bt1bn over the next three years.
