Bank of Ayudhya Plc (BAY)
While Europe dominates the headlines, BAY indicated that the bank is being kept busy by its larger retail client base. We remain confident of the stock’s re-rating potential. The upcoming 2Q results should provide further assurance that this potential can become a reality. BAY remains one of our top picks among Thai banks. Our target price is still set to 1.8x FY12 P/BV (GGM: 15% ROE, 11.7% COE, 7.5% growth). Maintain Outperform.
