Valuation

We maintain our NEUTRAL recommendation for VHC stock with latest target price of 39,000 VND per share (+ 6% upside) as we upgrade P/E multiple from 5.5 to 6.5 based on these following assumptions (i) expectation for recovery in the second half of 2020 (+ 28% YoY) (ii) high growth in 2021 from low level of 2020 (EPS 2021 fw – 7,067, PE fw 2021 =4.7)

Business forecast

In 2020, BSC expect VHC to post a respective VND 8,544bn (+8.6% YoY) and VND 951bn (-19.4% YoY) which is equivalent to a growth rate of +28% YoY in the second half of this year. EPS 2020 reaches VND 5.169 per share, P/E fw 2020 reaches 7.1.
