We maintain our view that the stock\u2019s poor performance is not justified by the fundamentals of the business, and we reiterate BUY.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our view<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PATMI rose by 29.6% YoY to VND 2,490 bn. This is mainly attributable to the 8.4% YoY increase in revenue to VND 35,421 bn, in line with our forecast.\u00a0 This impressive sales figure was driven by 22.5 bn kWh in unit sales (+6.6% YoY). 2019 gross margin expanded to 14.5%, up from 13.7% in 2018. In addition, net financial expenses decreased by 31% YoY to VND 877bn.<\/p>\n<p>Operating expenses increased due to receivables provisioning. 2019 SG&amp;A expenses increased by 52.1% YoY to VND 1.2tn. Thus, the SG&amp;A\/revenue ratio increased by 1ppt YoY to 3.4%, mainly because of the one-off VND 400 bn in receivables provisioning as Electricity Power Trading Company (EPTC\/EVN) delayed payment for Ca Mau 1 &amp; 2 and Vung Ang 1. According to POW, EPTC receivables for these projects reached VND 1,556 bn (equivalent to 17.8% of accounts receivable), of which VND 980bn was 6 months overdue as at 31 December 2019. We are waiting for further explanation on potential bad debts from EPTC.<\/p>\n<p>FY2020 guidance. POW targets 2020 revenue at VND 35,449 bn, nearly unchanged compared YoY despite an expected 4% decrease in expected sales volume (21.6 bn kWh). POW guides for medium maintenance in two gas fired thermal power plants (Nhon Trach 1, Nhon Trach 2) plants and a hydropower plant (Dakrinh). FY2020 profit before tax guidance is targeted at VND 2,395 bn, 23.8% lower than that of 2019.<\/p>\n<p>We reiterate BUY with target price of VND 17,457, implying 66.3% upside. Our target implies 2019E PE of 16.4x and 2020E PE of 12.7x, which we view as reasonable. POW is now trading at an attractive 0.9x 2019 PBV book value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please access the link for our complete report:<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/yuanta-uat.ysvn.com.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200115-POW-FY2019-results-final.pdf\">20200115 POW FY2019 results final<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Analyst: Binh Truong, <\/em><em>binh.truong@yuanta.com.vn<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Event POW released their full FY2019 financial statements, which were largely in line with our forecasts and preliminary results.
