Bangkok Bank (BBL TB) TB

Creative Portfolios

Good work on costs with a rock-solid balance sheet - Paul Hollingworth sees upside to management's very conservative guidance. He highlights positive changes in Profitability, Efficiency, Liquidity, Asset Quality, and in Provisioning. He notes that Earnings Quality could be better but believes the bank may be materially understating its bottom-line given that Comprehensive Income is well in excess of Net Profit. The shares currently trade at a FV of 9% and a P/B of 0.56x. BBL also has a PH Score™ of 8.3 - the highest Score in Thailand.
