Firm client base to drive healthy profit ; attractive dividend play Despite the expected weak 2Q17E earnings growth YoY and QoQ, we believe that earnings already bottomed out in 2Q17E and they are expected to recover in 2H17E. We therefore maintain our 2017E earnings projection. The recent fall of the share price should be good timing to ‘BUY’. We still like TMT for its integrated steel service center with effective management, a wide range of service availability, client base growth, good profitability and an expected dividend yield of 8% p.a. Our current DDM‐based target price is Bt20.25/share. 2Q17E NP to have fallen by 87%YoY with GPM pressured by lower steel prices We now expect TMT to post a net profit of Bt38mn in 2Q17 (below our previous forecast of Bt90mn because the gross profit margin (GPM) likely contracted to 5.1% vs. 7% assumed previously). The expected result represents a fall of 87%YoY and 85%QoQ in line with global steel prices declined as steel output in China increased and India exported more steel. Meanwhile, domestic demand has slowed down (early rainy season and slower purchases while prices are falling). In addition, TMT still had some high‐cost raw material left from 1Q17. Hence, we expect the firm’s 2Q17E GPM at 5.1% (vs. 16.7% and 12.2% in 2Q16 and 1Q17, respectively). However, given expected strong sales volume of 165,000 tons (+14%YoY, ‐4%QoQ) from clients in the construction and factory sectors, the firm’s sales for the quarter are projected at Bt3.3bn (based on an average selling price assumption of Bt20/kg, down 3%YoY and 7%QoQ). 3Q‐4Q17E earnings to recover from the bottom in 2Q; forecast maintained Should the 2Q17E earnings come out as expected, the firm’s 1H17 earnings are likely to amount to Bt293mn, accounting for 45% of our full‐ year projection of Bt647mn. The 3Q‐4Q17E earnings are likely to recover from the bottom in 2Q (selling price has improved in line with global prices since mid Jul‐17). We maintain our 2017E earnings forecast. Safe business expansion plan with an aim to achieve a CAGR of 10‐15% TMT targets a CAGR of 10‐15% over the next three years. In light of this, it will add new capacity of 200,000 tons p.a. (focusing on structural steel and steel pipes), bringing the total to 1mn tpa. in the next three years, with a planned capex of Bt1.2bn. The firm will gradually invest in the domestic steel market (e.g., preparing land for construction of a new plant and new warehouse, which is expected to be completed by early 2018, and beginning to order machinery in mid‐1Q18). This expansion plan will be funded by long‐term borrowing (from bank loans or issuance of debentures). The plan is expected to lead to sustained growth in the future. We expect EBITDA to grow from an average of Bt557mn p.a. during 2010‐15 to Bt1bn p.a. in the next years.
