Rec : NEUTRAL
Good entry point
The sector's profit rebounded earlier than expected in 1Q15 since improvement in
profitability compensated for declining sales caused by the weak economy, likely to
continue growing for the remainder of the year. This is a good entry point. Top picks
are CPALL and ROBINS.
 1Q15 profit grows 18.2%yoy
Seven retailers under our study posted total 1Q15 profit of B8.3bn,
dropping 5%qoq due to low season but rebounding significantly for the first
time in many quarters by 18.2%yoy (earlier than expected). Although same
store sales have stayed flat for many quarters as a result of the weak
economy, total sales grew by 9%yoy owing to aggressive branch expansion
in 2014. Profitability also improved. Normalized profit margin increased for
the first time in many quarters by 300bp from the weak base in 1Q14 to
4.3% owing to lower expense and better cost-efficiency (BIGC), higher
rental income (ROBINS), increase in proportion of high-margin goods
(MAKRO and CPALL), and lower financial cost (CPALL). BEAUTY and CPALL'
earnings grew most significantly by 45%yoy and 26%yoy, respectively.
Sector Index : 28,358.79
SET Index : 1,510.41
 Growing throughout 2015
The commerce sector's profitability is anticipated to grow for the remainder
of the years. CPALL and MAKRO (59% of total profit) are likely to make the
strongest profit growth among peers since the proportion of high-margin
goods would increase and financial cost would stay unchanged, promoting
the sector's earnings growth to 23%yoy. As a result of the weak economy,
sales are not likely to improve until 2H15, and some retailers (BIGC and
HMPRO) would open fewer branches this year, but this would not have a
significant adverse effect on the commerce sector's earnings.
 Top picks: CPALL, ROBINS
Already passed their bottom and likely to rebound significantly again soon,
this is a good entry for retail stocks. The share prices have not reflected
positive factors yet after underperforming the market for over two years;
this is a good entry point. Top picks are CPALL(FV@B53) and
ROBINS(FV@B64). CPALL is attractive because its profit has rebounded
more significantly than peers. ROBINS is still less expensive than the sector
and previous averages, and its profit already passed its bottom.
