Thai Beverage BeerCo listing remains on the cards
■ During its 2024 Annual Information Session, THBEV shared that its BeerCo IPO/strategic partnership plans remain on the cards, with an eye on 2025F. ■ THBEV believes proposed Vietnam excise taxes hike (effective 2026F) is manageable, and sees potential benefit from consumer down-trading. ■ Portfolio premiumisation remains key to driving THBEV’s longer-term growth. Valuations undemanding but we reiterate Hold on lack of near-term catalysts.

TP raised to HK$345, implies 26x FY24F P/E and 11x FY24F EV/EBITDA.

Banking – Malaysia Chugging Along
The sector delivered 1Q24 earnings growth of 7% which was broadly in line with expectations. As the sector is trading at its historical mean valuation and is anticipated to lag the FBMKLCI’s earnings growth, we perceive the current risk-to-reward ratio as being well balanced. In the absence of meaningful earnings catalysts, we maintain MARKET WEIGHT on the sector. CIMB remains our top pick.
