1Q23 from a low 1Q22 base. Yes
/
What’s changed?
Our 2023 core earnings forecast stands unchanged.

Recommendation
HANA comes with risks associated with the global economic slowdown,
supply chain issues, and geopolitical tensions. The likelihood of the cycle
peaking soon and the limited scope for earnings forecast-upsizing may
create downside risks into 2023. Moreover, the benefit from baht deprec-
iation may reverse in 2H23. However, HANA’s strong YoY 1Q23 earnings
growth profile (before entering a soft phase in 2Q23) is likely to support
its stock price in the interim. We recommend a wait-and-see stance for
now.
