Strength
3Q24 gross margin expanded to 12.0% (2Q24: 10.6%; 3Q23: 10.1%), supported by favorable product mix, featuring high-margin items like Samsung Z Fold and Flip
Weakness
Opex run-rate saw QoQ increase to -9.4% in 3Q24 (2Q24: -8.0%; 3Q23: -8.5%), which we attribute to the opening of new stores; ERAA’s 9M24 bottom line growth of 59.9% YoY was primarily driven by one-off surge in promotion support (+196% YoY)
Opportunity
Strong purchasing power of middle-upper class should provide support to sales volumes; recent market underperformance may provide buying opportunities, especially given undemanding valuation of P/S 0.1x
Threat
IDR depreciation may exert pressure on sales volumes; weakening purchasing power amid sticky inflation and high interest rates could adversely affect demand and sales mix
