2017E earnings to be pressured by copper price and baht appreciation KCE’s 2Q17 earnings fell YoY on the back of higher raw material costs and baht appreciation. We believe the trend will continue during the rest of the year. We thus reduce our 2017‐18E earnings forecasts by 18% and 21%, respectively. We have rolled over our target price to the 2018E target price at Bt91/share. An “Underperform” rating is maintained. 2Q17 earnings fell due to baht appreciation and higher copper prices KCE reported 2Q17 net profit of Bt672mn, down 72%YoY. The gross profit margin narrowed to 31% vs. 35.5% in 2Q16 because copper prices increased while the baht appreciated by 3% and the selling price dropped by 2%. However, sales grew by 2.4%YoY alongside growing output following the investment in capacity expansion for Phase III by 200,000 square feet/month. 2H17E earnings to be pressured by higher copper prices The copper price averaged at US$5,692/ton in 2Q17, up 20%YoY due to growing demand for batteries used in electronic cars in China where the electronic car market has grown continuously. From the beginning of July to 8 Aug‐17, the copper price averaged at US$6,081//ton, up 7% from the average in 2Q17. The price is expected to remain high for some time and we thus expect the 2H17E earnings to weaken from the same period last year. 2017‐18E forecasts revised down; “Underperform” rating maintained We have lowered our 2017E earnings projection by 18% and the 2018E estimate by 21% to reflect the likelihood of a narrower gross profit margin. The current share price implies upside at around 8% vs. our DCF‐based target price of Bt91/share. We see some negative factors in 2H17, so we leave our “Underperform” rating unchanged. Moreover, there are some concerns about the fact that China is considering a ban on imported metal parts from the beginning of next year. If the ban is actually imposed, demand for imported copper in China will increase and this will impact KCE’s 2018E earnings. We assess that every 1% increase in the copper price (from the average copper price assumption for 2018E at US$6,500 per ton) would result in a decline in net profit by 0.5%.
