BMP Result Update – Company Report Release on 26/10/2017

RongViet Research has just released Q2 2017 Result Update Report on Binh Minh Plastic JSC (HSX:BMP) with the following overview and recommendation:

BMP is a state-linked plastic pipe producer whose long-standing brand is widely recognized. Despite being a leading producer in a profitable industry, BMP recently faces up with fierce competition from new entrants that execute aggressive trade discounts. Additionally, plastic pipe producers including BMP are experiencing deterioration in their profitability due to the recent recovery of plastic resin price, which is correlated to the oil price. Assuming the current situation prolongs, we expect BMP’s profit to rebound only if the company manages to increase its sales prices.

Quarterly result update: LHG and NTC

Long Hau JSC (LHX: LHG) announced Q3  2017 result with revenue of VND64.3 billion (-11% YoY) and profit after tax recording VND27.7 billion (-31% YoY). So, in the nine months towards the end of September 2017, the company has completed 37% revenue and 54% profit after tax guidance. The underperformed profit after tax result is not surprised given the firm has taken effort to liquidate contracts of slow payment clients in 9M2017. For new land lease activity, with payment collection requirement to recognize revenue of more than 90%, we expect result of new land lease to be mostly recognized in Q4 2017.
