KS expected MTC’s 4Q20 net profit to grow to an all-time high at Bt1.37bn (+2% QoQ, +21% YoY), spurred by loan portfolio expansion by 5% QoQ and 15% YoY.

Finansia Syrus Securities (FSS) has given a “BUY” recommendation on NR Instant Produce Public Company Limited (NRF) with a target price at ฿9.00/share.

FSS revised up NRF’s profit in 2021-2022 to 72% and 29%, respectively. The increase was mainly due to whole-year revenue recognition from City Food, while acquiring two of the world’s largest customers. The company stated that its business in plant-based food grew higher-than-expected at a rate of 58% last year, and expected to accelerate in 2021-2022.

FSS rerated NRF’s PE to 35x, representing a PEG of 1.2x, based on three years earnings forward with a CAGR of 29%.
