Premiumization of its fish sauce and noodle products appears to be a viable solution to maintain growth in these relatively mature segments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Branded meat \u2013 an expected game changer. <\/strong>The meat business is posting 20% MoM growth supported strongly by (1) MSN\u2019s wide and increasing point of sale network and (2) high rates of adoption by consumers. Although ASF presents a short-term headwind, we think it also highlights the need for scale in pork production; MSN should emerge as a longer-term winner as a result.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We shift to a negative view on Masan Resources. <\/strong>Tungsten pricing remains under pressure due to weak demand from China, and strict regulations on copper are another drag. MSN\u2019s attempts to improve this business through acquisition to move up the value chain are a positive sign, but it is likely to take evidence (and time) to change our minds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yuanta vs consensus<\/strong><strong>. <\/strong>We think the wide disparity of 2019E forecasts will tighten as analysts update their numbers for MSN\u2019s weak 3Q19 operations and a large one-off gain. However, we appear to be more conservative than the Street looking forward, as our earnings forecasts for 2020E are 4% below and for 2021 are 9% below the BBG consensus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We reiterate BUY <\/strong>but reduce our target price to VND 84,100, for expected 12-m TSR of 13.2%. Although MSN recorded poor performance in 3Q19 and we are negative on MSR, we still want to be in the stock given the attractive beverage and branded meat stories. We believe the market has over-reacted to a weak quarter and think the shares offer value here. We thus reiterate our BUY call on MSN.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Please access the link for our complete report: <a href=\"http:\/\/yuanta-uat.ysvn.com.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/MSN_CompanyUpdate_3Q19.pdf\">MSN_CompanyUpdate_3Q19<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Analyst: Quang Vo,\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"mailto:quang.vo@yuanta.com.vn\"><em>quang.vo@yuanta.com.vn<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BUY Target price: VND 84,100 Upside: 13% What\u2019s new?
