Robinson Department Store (ROBINS TB) | Company Update
New strategy; give it time: HOLD

  • New president is clear on the strategy to make the Robinson Department Store brand the destination for the majority of shoppers both in Thailand and Vietnam.
  • Outlook in Thailand remains weak but appears situation bottomed. The 1st store in Vietnam opened in Apr met with warm welcome; very upbeat on the long-term success.
  • Maintain HOLD. Major re-positioning takes time and operating results may soften for a while. Thus, while we like the long-term proposition of RDS, maintain HOLD (DCF-based target price THB53) as the short-term outlook remains challenging.

Sector Update
1Q14 a write-off, long term intact
  • 1Q14 earnings will be weak for AMATA and TICON but good for HEMRAJ thanks to high land transfers; earnings expected to be announced shortly.
