Tags:

  • Volume in 2Q2021 reached 1,9 billion kWh, nearly equal to that in 2Q2020, completing 95% of the company’s plan thanks to the dry season and several heat waves in the North.
  • Revenue in 2Q2021 was VND 2,624 billion (or USD 113 million) +32% QoQ and -16% YoY and NPAT was VND 188 billion (or USD 8 million), -66% YoY because of a decline in the selling price. Accordingly, 1H2021 NPAT reached VND 177 billion (or USD 7,7 million), -76% YoY, completing 89% of the 2021 PBT’s target.
  •   The company will have machine maintenance for 62 days in 3Q2021. Profit is going to be impacted. Afterward, the outlook is expected to be better with high Qc in 4Q2021 and efficient operation after the maintenance. We maintain our target price for HND at VND 17,900, an upside of 7% compared to the closing price on July20th, thus we recommend to accumulate this stock.

VHC - 1H-FY21: Strong revenue growth driven by exports to the US

Tags:

  • 1H-FY21 preliminary revenue was VND 4,136 Bn (or USD 180 Mn, +25% YoY), fulfilling 48% of VHC’s guidance and 46% of our full-year revenue forecast, mainly driven by the recovery of fillet export revenue in major markets, especially the US. VHC has not revealed 2Q-FY21 earnings but we are concerned that raw materials prices and logistics costs will erode the bottom line. In 2Q-FY21, we forecast VHC’s NPAT at VND 165 Bn (or USD 7 Mn, -23% YoY) due to the contraction of GPM and NPM by 83bps YoY and 619bps YoY, respectively.
  • Looking ahead to 2H-FY21, we expect that the US market will continue leading the fillet revenue increase but operating costs will still put pressure on the profit margin. In FY2021, we estimate VHC’s revenue at VND 8,970 Bn (or USD 390 Mn, +27% YoY) and NPAT at VND 620 bn (or USD 27 Mn, -12% YoY).
  • We lower our target price by 3% to VND 45,000/share to reflect our concern about cost headwinds. Besides, large CAPEX will result in a negative cash flow in 2021. With an expected cash dividend in the next 12 months of VND 1,000/share, the total return will reach 18% based on the closing price of July 16th. We recommend to ACCUMULATE

: Non-aviation Services, Logistics

Tags:

  • Estimated Q2-2021 revenue/NPAT amounted to VND212Bn (+47% YoY)/VND150bn (+51% YoY) on the back of resilient international air freight volume throughput and the low base effect. Cumulative 1H-2021 revenue and NPAT have both completed 54% of our full-year forecast.
  • We remain positive on SCS based on (1) its proven track record of resilient int’l volume amid recent lockdown in HCMC and int’l passenger flight cuts, (2) bright long-term prospects for EX-IM cargo volume, mostly driven by outbound cargo, owing to recovered demand from key trading economies given upcoming massive vaccine roll-out. We maintain our projection for 2021F/22F NPAT of VND529bn (+14% YoY)/VND590bn (+12% YoY).
  • We raise our TP for SCS from VND141,400 per share to VND145,500 per share as we roll forward our valuation to the mid-2022 forecast, maintaining an ACCUMULATE recommendation.

HDG also expects to launch the sale of 221 units in Charm Villas and 35 units of CC1 in 2H 2021.
  • Energy: The energy segment experienced a solid performance with revenue of VND 557 Bn (+63% YoY) thanks to the stable operation of existing hydro power plants given the favorable weather condition in 6M 2021. Power plants including Dak Mi 2, Song Tranh 4 and 7A Thuan Nam are expected to come online in Q3/2021 and generate revenue of VND 220 Bn.
