Is ThaiBev a Good Buy?
ThaiBev is a leading beverage manufacturing company in Southeast Asia. The company’s product line includes beer, spirits, non-alcoholic beverages, frozen food items, etc.
With the recovery in the global travel and hospitality business, the company is witnessing solid improvements in its business operations. It was quite visible in its latest earnings reports posted for Q1 of the fiscal year 2023. The company posted an almost 5% increase in its sales revenue of S$3.2 billion in the first quarter, driven by business in Thailand and Vietnam. The EBITDA was down by 7.7% due to higher costs in brand investment and marketing activities.
Analysts remain hopeful about the stock performance, which will be well-supported by the further revival of the tourism sector. Moreover, ThaiBev is positioned perfectly to capitalize on the sector’s recovery with its brand power and market dominance.
According to TipRanks’ rating consensus, Y92 stock has a Strong Buy rating, based on all six Buy recommendations.
