Stocks in Focus on May 11, 2021: ASK and BDMS

Kaohoon Online has selected stocks with a high-growth potential for investors to consider on May 11, 2021.

 

Maybank Kim Eng has given a “BUY” recommendation on Asia Sermkij Leasing Public Company Limited (ASK) with a target price at ฿45.00/share.

Maybank stated that ASK’s 1Q21 earnings came at 276 million baht, increased 38% YoY and  25% QoQ, thanks to strong insurance brokerage income growth and lower credit cost. Maybank expected loan growth and earnings should pick up in 2H21 and 2022 after the company gets 3 billion baht from the recent capital raising in late 2Q21. The fair value is THB 45 based on 15x FY22 PER, 17% ROE and 2.4x P/BV.

 

Krungsri Securities (KSS) has given a “BUY” recommendation on Bangkok Dusit Medical Services Public Company Limited (BDMS) with a target price at ฿26.00/share.

KSS expected 2Q21F results to improve QOQ and YOY; maintain BUY rating. The 2Q21F performance would be driven by rising revenues from providing Covid-related services. BDMS was conducting about 3,000 Covid-19 tests daily in April, double that in 1Q21, and there is high occupancy at the IPD Covid-19 unit (680 beds or 17% of registered beds and >400 beds for hospitel).
