KTBST maintained 2021E net profit forecast at 1.37 billion baht, which indicates a +30% increase YoY, but upgrade 2022E forecast by 3% to Bt2.24bn, up +64%, to reflect the company’s plan to buy a greater value of bad debts for management and profit contribution from its JV with KBANK.
JMT has outperformed the SET Index by 11%/53% over the past one/three months. KTBST saw the brighter earnings prospects in 2022E as 1) the company scooped up bad debts while NPLs have increased at a rapid pace, 2) the purchased assets have an average break-even of just 3-5 years compared to 6-8 years in the large asset management company, and 3) the JV with KBANK may boost earnings growth in the next 3-5 years.
