KGI Securities has given an “Outperform” rating on Central Plaza Hotel Public Company Limited (CENTEL) with a target price of ฿36.50/share.
KGI expected CENTEL to report a wider QoQ normalized loss of Bt570mn in 1Q21F from a normalized loss of Bt231mn in 4Q20. Overall, both hotel and restaurant businesses have seen a temporary hiccup in 1Q21F due to the new wave of COVID-19 outbreak in Thailand that caused i) total RevPar growth to tumble to -81% YoY in 1Q21F (4Q20: -75% YoY), and SSSG to plunge to -26% YoY (4Q02: -20% YoY).
Looking forward, KGI expected both hotel and restaurant businesses to see improvements from 2H21F onwards due to COVID-19 vaccine roll out as well as the local pandemic situation improvement.
Maybank Kim Eng has given a “BUY” recommendation on TPI Polene Power Public Company Limited (TPIPP) with a target price at ฿5.00/share.
