[email protected] Solid fundamentals; but share price has largely priced this in The company’s solid fundamentals as the power flagship of the PTT Group with projected core earnings growth at 10% CAGR in 2017‐18E, ahead of domestic peers at the average of 6% CAGR during the period, have been largely priced in by the current share price, as it is trading at demanding 0.18x 2018E PBV/ROE against the average of 0.14x of domestic peers, with the rolled‐over 2018E SOTP‐based TP of Bt41 being fully valued. As such, we maintain an “Underperform” rating on GPSC. Upbeat 2Q17 NP at Bt815mn GPSC reported 2Q17 NP at Bt815mn (+19% YoY, +9% QoQ), 22% ahead of the street forecast, mainly due to the smaller‐than‐expected selling and administrative expenses and the one‐off Bt66mn insurance compensation for the gas turbine of the Rayong Central Utilities Plant damaged in 3Q16. Higher volume and margin behind solid core earnings in 2Q17 It delivered a solid core profit of Bt751mn in 2Q17, up 14% YoY but flat QoQ. The strong growth YoY was attributable to 1) the increase in the availability payment at Sriracha Power Plant (IPP) in line with the increase in the weight factor; 2) smaller selling and administrative expenses by 20% to Bt163mn; and 3) the higher profit contribution from affiliates, particularly in the case of Nava Nakorn Electricity Generating (NNEG) with its kickoff in early Jun‐16. Meanwhile, the flat performance QoQ was largely blamed on the absence of dividend income from RPCL (vs. Bt120mn in 1Q17) despite the smaller selling and administrative expenses, as well as the higher electricity output and margin at the IRPC Clean Power Phase 1 after its major customer resumed operations from the scheduled maintenance in 1Q17. Earnings estimates slightly revised up; with rolled‐over 2018E TP to Bt41 The company’s 1H17 NP accounted for 51% of our full‐year forecast, with a negligible upward revision by 2% in the year and 2% in 2018E, to reflect 1) the incorporation of Ichinoseki solar power (ISP1) in Japan (20.6MW equity capacity) with the scheduled kickoff in late 2017E; and 2) the one‐off Bt66mn insurance compensation for the gas turbine of the Rayong Central Utilities Plant in 2017E. Our forecasts call for the company’s core profit growth at 10% CAGR during 2017‐18E, mainly driven by the contribution of new projects including BIC‐2 in 2H17E (equity capacity: 29.25MW), as well as IRPC‐CP Phase 2 (equity capacity: 99.4MW) and Ichinoseki Solar Power (equity capacity: 20.6MW) in late‐2017E. At the same time, the Rayong expansion phase (CUP 4) with 45MW equity capacity (~13% capacity increase from the existing fleet CUP 1‐3) and the commercial run target within 2018E is the source of upside risk to our earnings estimates and TP.
