Vicplas International - Resilience In The Face Of Cost Increases
VICPLAS INTERNATIONAL LTD (SGX:569)
- Vicplas International (SGX:569)'s 1H22 revenue of S$63.2m (+12% y-o-y, +10% h-o-h) was in line with our expectation. 1H22 net profit remained stable at S$5.0m (+0.6% y-o-y, -3% h-o-h) despite cost increases and lack of COVID-19-related government subsidies.
- As Vicplas International continued its transition into a medical-focused group, it commercialised new projects and further expanded its global customer base in 1H22; this helped to increase its medical segment revenue to S$45m (+11% y-o-y, +13% h-o-h).
- Management guided that its Changzhou plant extension (~7,000 sqm) is on track for opening near end-FY22F.
- Reiterate ADD call on Vicplas International with target price of S$0.28 based on 11x CY23F EPS, in line with its FY17-22F average forward P/E multiple. We project FY22-23F dividend yields of 2.3-2.8%.
