Switch to Underperform with the 18E TP at Bt12 We maintain our 2017‐18E net profit, with backlog already secured by 70% and 38% of the 2017‐18E transfer forecasts, respectively. We roll over the TP to the 18E TP of Bt12 (PER 9X, PEG 0.45X) from the 17E TP of Bt9 and switch our rating from Sell to Underperform as the current price still has limited upside to our 18E TP and the 1H17 dividend yield of 1.3% is not very attractive. 2Q17 earnings declined 71.7% YoY and 21.1% QoQ LPN reported 2Q17 net profit at Bt249mn (‐71.7% YoY, ‐21.1% QoQ), 5% below our estimate, mainly due to lower‐than‐expected transfers by 4%. 2Q17 transfers were Bt1.82bn, decreasing 63.5% YoY and 19.8% QoQ from a lower backlog to be transferred in the period. The average GPM was in line at 30.7%. SG&A expenses to revenue were 15.4%, above our assumption at 14.9% due to a lower‐than‐expected transfer base. Maintain 2017E forecast LPN’s 1H17 net profit was 35% of our 2017E forecast, which we maintain at Bt1.6bn (‐25.4% YoY). We expect the net profit trend to soften QoQ in 3Q17E before recovering QoQ in 4Q17E. Announced 1H17 DPS of Bt0.15, implying 1.3% yield LPN announced an interim DPS of Bt0.15 for its 1H17 performance, implying a 1.3% yield. The stock will go XD on August 22 and the dividend will be paid on September 7, 2017. 7M17 presales secured 53% of full‐year target LPN reported 7M17 presales at Bt10.7bn, securing 53% of its 2017 presales target of Bt20bn. LPN plans to launch three projects worth Bt5.1bn in 4Q17E and postpone one premium house project worth Bt3.1bn to instead be launched in 2018. Hence, we expect that LPN’s full‐ year presales will be lower than its target by 17% at around Bt16.5bn from a lower launch value. LPN started its plan to sell its stock with the help of the company’s sales promotions and via Thai and foreign agencies from end Jun‐17, enabling LPN to sell inventory of Bt943mn in Jul‐17. Hence, we maintain our 2017‐18E transfers because LPN’s plan to sell and transfer its inventory of Bt8.2bn and projects under construction worth Bt4.45bn (at end‐2Q17) to be completed in 2H17E and 2018E, should help its transfers reach our forecast.
