Stock & Comment
WHAUP – TP ฿8.00/share
KTC – TP ฿53.00/share
TCAP – TP ฿61.00/share

 

Pick of the day: WHAUP (BUY; AWS TP Bt8.00)

WHAUP expects to have better quarterly performance from further business expansion, especially the acquisition of 34% stake in water supply business from Duang River Water Plant in Hanoi, Vietnam with the total production capacity of tap water in phase 1 and 2 of 110 million cubic meters per year. There is an opportunity to increase production capacity in the future as demand for tap water in Vietnam is high but it could not accommodate the need for usage.

For business in Thailand, WHAUP currently has a power generating capacity of 554 megawatts and will grow in line with the growth of WHA’s industrial estates. At present, WHAUP’s PER is only a 11x with a high dividend rate of 5%. Therefore, AWS recommends BUY with a target price of Bt8.00.

WHAUP remains in the uptrend from the occurrence of Monthly Buy Signal. However, it still weak in both the short and medium term from the occurrence of both Daily and Weekly Sell Signal. The target price is Bt6.40. If it could successfully break by closing above Bt6.40, the next target will be Bt6.75 and Bt7.15, respectively. (Resistance: 6.30, 6.35, 6.50; Support: 6.20, 6.15, 6.00)
