Neutral
Prices exaggerated by easing of political situation The rally of share prices for contractors related to the public sector by 17-29% over a month already reflects the positive impact from the easing of the political crisis to a certain degree, in our view. The NCPO’s intention to continue with infrastructure projects is in line with our expectation and the benefit will enhance earnings performances again in 2016E at the earliest. Hence, we maintain our earnings estimates in 2014-15E and target prices, mostly pegged at the historical average PER or P/BV, which we believe is appropriate for this situation. However, with the positive sentiment, we expect share prices to possibly rally to +0.5SD/+1.0SD in the short term.

Only three public sector projects to open bidding this year
Although the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) aims to continue with infrastructure investment, we believe implementation will take time; this is due to time and funding limitations for the government, along with the lengthy EIA and HIA processes for some projects. In 2014E, we still expect only three public sector projects valued at Bt86bn to start the bidding process. These projects include: 1) the double track railway project valued at Bt10.8bn, which is expected to announce the bidding result this month; 2) the Green Line Mass Transit project valued at Bt26.5bn, which will start selling TOR for the second time in the next three months, with the bidding process to start in 4Q14; and 3) SBIA phase II valued at Bt48.7bn, which is also expected to start the bidding process in 4Q14. Additional orders assumptions maintained
We decide to maintain our additional orders assumptions of Bt22bn, Bt20bn, and Bt12bn in 2014E for CK, ITD, and STEC, respectively. YTD additional orders already signed and to be signed for ITD and STEC account for 27% and 26% of our full-year estimates, respectively. As ITD has been awarded many construction projects from the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) in the past, we expect the company to win the bidding for the double track railway project. Meanwhile, STEC is likely to announce the bidding result for power plant projects valued at around Bt6bn in 2H14E. CK’s additional orders are likely to have downside risk, especially for the Nam Bak hydroelectric dam in Lao PDR valued at Bt17bn, due to the long power price negotiation process with EGAT. For 2015E, our additional orders assumptions for the big three companies already include the return of public sector investment with estimated additional orders assumptions of Bt30bn, Bt90bn, and Bt30bn for CK, ITD, and STEC, respectively; this will enable earnings to start jumping again in 2016E. Downgrade STEC to SELL; CK switched to Trading BUY
We maintain our 2014E target prices and earnings estimates in 2014-15E for construction service companies under our coverage. As the share prices of stocks related to the public sector have rallied by 17-29% over a month in response to the positive impact from the easing of the political crisis with no significant change in earnings prospects, we decide to downgrade STEC to SELL (from Trading BUY) and switch CK’s recommendation to Trading BUY (from BUY).
