Looking attractive; Buy rating maintained The outlook for the Thai broiler export business in 2017 seems more promising than that of 2016 on more new markets. Meanwhile, raw material prices have remained low while live chicken prices and export prices have increased. These favorable factors should help underpin the profit margin outlook at least throughout 1H17. Our preliminary forecast calls for 1Q17 earnings to grow by 50%YoY. We also expect 2017‐18E earnings to amount to Bt1.7‐1.8bn. Maintain a “Buy” rating and the target price of Bt17.50/share (13x PER), implying 18% upside. Bright outlook for broiler exports with better growth and new markets The Thai Broiler Export Association now expects that Thai broiler export volume may beat the initial expectation of 715,000 tons by 3% (to 743,000 tons). The export volume for 2H16 is expected to accelerate to 70,000 tons/month while the Thai broiler export business in 2017E is expected to grow at least 2.3% to 760,000 tons thanks to higher demand from Japan as well as new markets, e.g., South Korea, Singapore. In addition, a potential market, Saudi Arabia (i.e. the world’s second biggest importer of broilers at 0.85mn tons/year, after Japan who imported broilers at around 0.96mn tons in 2016) is likely to resume imports of raw chicken parts from Thailand in the near future. Good broiler prices and low raw material costs to drive margin The YTD broiler price has averaged at Bt39‐40/kg (+6% from the average of Bt38 in 4Q16 and +10% from the average of Bt37 in 2016). This followed an increase in the day‐old chick price to Bt17.50/chick currently (vs. Bt16.1 in Jan‐17, Bt14.7 in 4Q16 and the 2016 average of Bt13.13). The supply of day‐old chicks remained stable at 33‐34mn chicks/week. Domestic broiler prices are expected to remain high in the next 3‐6 years on growing demand for raising broilers to be prepared for growing export markets. Currently, the export price has risen to US$100‐200/ton. Meanwhile, the raw material (feed) prices have remained low: the corn price stands at Bt8/kg (Bt8.6/kg in 2016) and the soybean meal price is at Bt15.9/kg (vs. Bt17.1/kg in 2016). These favorable factors suggest a positive outlook for operators in 1H17. 1Q17 earnings to grow by 50%YoY but drop by 6%QoQ The earnings normally decline QoQ in 1Q on seasonality; however, the export volume is expected to remain strong (driven especially by growing demand from Japan and Malaysia). Also, raw material prices remain low. Our preliminary forecast calls for the firm’s 1Q17 net profit to amount to Bt413mn (Bt0.33/share), up 50%YoY but down 6%QoQ (on seasonality).
