Kino’s (KINO IJ, NR) management suggested a turnaround in 3Q17 earnings, driven by higher sales volume and lower costs. The company reduced the number of contracted labors and cut unproductive distributors. The company’s share price has declined 43% YTD. Kino is interesting at the current price, however we see it is better to wait for earnings recovery sustainability to start accumulating shares. Based on consensus estimates, the company is trading at 14x/12x FY17F/18F PE with 9% ROE.


Key highlights of our meeting are as follow:
¨ 3Q17 sales likely to be higher QoQ. Kino indicated that its MoM sales has been started to recover since July, driven by higher Cap Kaki Tiga sales tahnks to longer dry season in the quarter which boost remedy drink sales. Cap Kaki Tiga accounted for around 30% of total sales.
