THaiBev

Today drop one cents lowered and closed at 76 cents ,looks rather bearish ! It has broken down the support at 78 cents couple with high volume ,this is rather negative and may likely see further selling down pressure.

The immediate support is at 72 cents , failing to hold at this level, next, we may see it goes further down towards 69 cents .

 Not a call to buy or sell.

ThaiBev - 2Q 2018 result Net Profit decrease 3.2% to 6,346 million Baht( exclude non-recurring expenses relating to business acquisition).

EPS is down 3.8% to 0.25 Baht .

1st Half 2018 EBITDA is down 11.67% to 17,487 million Baht.

First Half 2018 Net profit is down 27% to 10,451 million Baht.

First Half EPS is down 35.1% to 0.37 Baht versus 0.57 Baht last year.

NAV is also lowered from S$0.22 to S$0.21.

Dividend has been cut from 20 cents Baht to 15 cents Baht.(a decrease of 25% )

Looking through at the Interest Bearing debts:




They have to allocate 16,784 million Baht for Mar 2019 interest loan.

The 2nd year i.e. After one year but within two years (Mar 2020), the debt amount is super high at 163,766 million Baht.

After two years , 53,967 million Baht.

Total 234,517 million Baht.

I think the debts may likely affect the profitability for the next financial years as well as the following years whereby the interest bearing has more than 10x of year 2019.




It is good to be extra cautious when dealing with this counter.

Not a call to Buy or sell.
