MBKET estimates the 5-year CAGR of EPS at 41% driven by an increase in domestic sales from Bento, Jele and Lotus products, coupled with strong overseas growth potential from production bases in Cambodia and Vietnam as the markets with good growth potential. The gross margin is likely to increase from rising proportion of overseas sales, higher sales through traditional trade and launching new products. Adjusting strategy of the existing products would also enhance gross margins. SNNP will benefit from cost savings from the expansion of production bases in Cambodia and Vietnam, together with better economies of scale, resulting in a decrease in the SG&A-to-sales ratio.
