Thai Beverage's 2H Growth Likely Supported by Raw Material Costs, Base Effects -- Market Talk

May 15

0110 GMT - Thai Beverage's 2H earnings growth could be supported by reduced raw material costs and a low base effect, says DBS Group Research's Zheng Feng Chee in commentary. The Singapore-listed beer maker's 1H results pleasantly surprised the analyst despite marginally softer revenue, given Thailand's weak consumer environment. While Thailand's macro environment remains challenging due to cost of living pressures and elevated oil prices, he expects stronger 2H results for Thai Bev given material costs are hedged, a low base thanks to last year's Thai-Cambodia border conflict and warmer weather. The stronger beer volume performance in 2Q also bodes well for ThaiBev's potential BeerCo initial public offering, he adds. DBs retains a buy rating and S$0.62 target price. Shares rise 2.4% to S$0.43. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
