A very good development on solar rooftop business 16 profit missed our forecast by 8.5% due to underestimating interest expenses. However, 4Q16 profit hit a new high at Bt630mn, +29%YoY and 25%QoQ. The key catalyst was the solar rooftop business, which surged 214%YoY and 488%QoQ from installation service. SPCG will pay a dividend of Bt0.70/share for the 2H16 performance, resulting in a total dividend of Bt1.10/share or a 4.9% yield, which is the highest among peers. Buy rating stands. Lower energy output and electricity price Energy output in 4Q16 dropped 2.7%YoY on unfavorable weather conditions and degradation. The electricity selling price decreased 9.1%YoY, continuing its downward trend amid the low oil price environment. Revenue from solar farms for the quarter declined 5.3%YoY. Good sign for solar rooftop business In 4Q16, SPCG had total revenue from the solar rooftop business of Bt685mn, +214%YoY and +488%QoQ. Total revenue consisted of Bt39mn from the sale of goods and Bt645mn from installation services. SPCG’s management expected strong business volume for installation of solar rooftops in Q4 since it is approaching the deadline for the government benefits for industrial solar rooftops. We view that this is just the starting point for solar rooftops in Thailand and anticipate the regulators to promote them further in the coming years. Lower dividend payment but still the best among peers SPCG will pay a dividend of Bt0.70/share from the 2H16 performance. The total dividend is Bt1.10/share, implying a yield of 4.9%. The total dividend per share decreases from Bt1.25 in 15 but is still the best among renewable energy peers. Buy rating stands The current stock price implies 17E PER at 8.3x, the lowest in the renewable energy sector. There are still catalysts from the solar rooftop business that we have not factored in as well as new solar farm projects under development. We maintain our 17E TP at Bt26.00. Buy rating stands.
