Based on our estimate, 4Q21 aggregated revenue of 23 listed hydropower companies jumped 22.5% yoy, while 4Q21 aggregated NPATMI increased by 32.9% yoy. Due to the waning effect of La Nina in the north, EVN will shift its focus to coal thermal plants to ensure power supply. The HFO Singapore, a reference for gas price supplied to domestic gas-fired power plants could spike in 1Q22F due to supply shortage and Russia – Ukraine tension. We think EVN will prioritize the cheaper coal-fired power plants driven by their lower than gas supply price. Thus, we expect the revenue of coal-fired plants stays solid than gas-fired firms in 1Q22F.

The 4Q21 aggregated NPATMI of dairy and sugar producers increased by 4.2% and 15% yoy, respectively. Meanwhile, the NPATMI growth of listed beer companies was softer at -19.7% yoy after bottoming at -66% in 3Q21 due to tepid domestic demand in the lockdown period. Most producers have plans to increase selling prices in 1Q22F to make up for the higher input costs. Big players such as VNM, SAB have just increased prices by about 3-5% in late Dec 2021 and that will support GMs in 1Q22F.

The stronger net profit growth was attributed to gross profit margin expansion. Demand for agricultural products remains abundant in 2022F backed by urges to ensure food security after COVID-19 pandemic and to compensate for the crop reduction due to climate changes.

The sector aggregated revenue was pegged at VND20.4tn (+92% yoy) in 4Q21 and VND60.5tn (+109% yoy) in 2021. In tandem with the revenue growth, aggregated profit after tax grew robustly with VND6.6tn (+88% yoy) in 4Q21 and VND21.5tn (+115% yoy) in 2021. We estimate that the ADTV in 1Q22F continues to stay at VND22tn-23tn (+20% yoy). Revenue from brokerage and margin lending could account for a major proportion in revenue and net profit structure. Therefore, revenue performance in 1Q22F could be secured with positive YoY results.

This quarterly earnings report on Vietnam steel production is intended to track the earning growth trend in the steel market. In 4Q21, we saw a net margin declined in most steel makers. We expect that export and accelerated infrastructure spending will be the key drivers in 1Q22, however, the gross margin compress will continue due to global supply restraint of input materials and narrowed HRC gaps.

July’s data revealed a substantial improvement in economic activities with a softer decline in export turnover, an improving industrial production, and a renewed acceleration in retail sales. On one hand, U.S. consumers tend to regain their confidence during the late phase of the global interest rate hike, fastening the resolution of the overstocking and consequently promoting Vietnam’s export activities. On the other hand, retail sales recorded a higher growth rate than in June coupled with moderate inflation after a series of easing fiscal policies, likely reflecting an expanding demand. We predict economic performance to improve further next month due to softening external headwinds and expanding domestic demand.

Although the economic performance picked up in 2Q23 in the late stage of the global interest rate hike, we believe that the acceleration of economic activities will need more time to be material due to the insignificant improvement of external factors and the weakening recovery in domestic consumption. On the upside, public investment will continue to be a spotlight in 3Q23 thanks to the government's effort in realizing the significantly higher workload than last year. In addition, the well-controlled inflation and stable exchange rate provide more space for the monetary authority to follow the easing tendency in the next quarter.

On the upside, public investment will continue to be a spotlight in 3Q23 thanks to the government's effort in realizing the significantly higher workload than last year. Investment opportunities exist in Power and Agriculture, Seafood industries that backed by El-Nino and China consumption themes. Besides, crushed stone industry also offers a lucrative choice from 3Q23 for those investors seeking for rising public spending theme. We expect the target range for VNIndex in 2H23 to be 1,260-1,340 points.

GSO’s June report shows a slight acceleration in economic performance for the second quarter of 2023. Although the economic growth surpassed the downgraded market assessment, it is far from the expected value in the eco-socio tasks. For the latest update in June, export activities deteriorated under the persistent slowdown in the consumption of Vietnam’s major trading partners, showing challenges for the economy to speed up. Regarding domestic factors, the recovery momentum in post-pandemic exhausted with retail sales much lower than the potential level. In the short term, we predict public investment will mainly support economic growth before material improvement in external factors occurs.
