Price watch points as indicated above and I shall wait for the price drop to stabilize. In the meantime, I will do some reading about its earnings and how the company strategizes to overcome headwinds.

Takeaway from its annual report 2017 (FYE Sep 17)

Revenue
57% from spirits
30% from beer
9% from non-alcoholic beverage
4% from food

Vision 2020

Growth
We aim to solidify ThaiBev’s position as stable and
sustainable largest beverage company in Southeast
Asia, and create return to shareholders.

Diversity
To support and sustain ThaiBev’s growth, we plan to
diversify our revenue streams, increasing revenue
contribution from non-alcoholic beverages and the sale
of products outside of Thailand.

Brands
By streamlining ThaiBev’s businesses into three
product groups (spirits, beer, and non-alcoholic beverage)
and identifying core brands within each, as well as
focusing on primary and secondary markets with the
greatest growth potential, we look to expand the
business via a consumer and market-driven approach.

Reach
To realise the potential of ThaiBev’s core brands,
robust and efficient routes to all markets are required.
Accordingly, we seek to build on our market leading
business processes and supply chains to strengthen
existing distribution networks, establish new ones, and
also enter into partnerships with third-party distributors
when appropriate.

Professionalism
We strive to ensure that we have a diverse and high
performance workforce, and that the teams behind all
three product groups work together seamlessly,
leveraging cross-product group synergies where applicable,
further strengthening our long term potentials.

$$$
- Revenue from sales stayed flat. We shall see how it performs this year with its new acquisitions.
- Net profit margin increased.
- Net cash from operating activities increased.


*** I felt quite positive about the long-term outlook of this stock. The issue now is about picking it up at the right price. ;)

Reflections for year 2024

2024 has been a relatively peaceful year. So peaceful that I have read countless novels and other books, met my sports buddies almost every weekend and picked up horticulture. Physical and mental health As we say, health is wealth. I have stuck fairly consistently with my exercise regime and tried to include more fruits and vegetables in my meals (although I eat out more and cook less these days). My weight, BP and cholesterol levels are doing ok. For those 40 years and above, remember to get your  subsidized health screenings from the government . Working less and meeting up with friends more contributed to an improved mental health. I see that the government has stepped up on initiatives in the community but work place initiatives from employers still seemed lackluster, especially for those who can't WFH and need to commit 44 hours or more a week at frontline work. I have also started a Gratitude journey to celebrate all my little life milestones. Financials Investment wise ...

The best credit card for my house reno & prep

As updated in my previous post, I have finally bought my own place solo. For the past few months I have been busy coordinating with various contractors and vendors for my house renovation. As I am still on flexi work schedule, I decided to be my own ID. With only a simple renovation in mind, I set my reno budget as 20k (aircon & fixtures inclusive). The renovation process and acting as my own ID were not as easy as I thought. It took me about a month to gather and compare quotations from different contractors and another few weeks to finalize all the things that I need my chosen contractor to do. I eventually settled for a main contractor who specializes in carpentry work but also provides painting, tiling and electrical services. I have grossly underestimated the amount of defects that need fixing for this resale flat. Fortunately, the floor tiles and some of the existing built-ins are still in good condition so I kept them, otherwise I would have burst my budget. The first issue ...

Shit happens and I lost my low-hanging fruits

My SAYE account has just hit its 25th month anniversary which is also the "month of maturity". Anticipating to get the 3.5% bonus interest for all these months of saving, I was shocked to see only $17+ cash gift credited as opposed to a few hundred dollars. I was about to send a message to query the bank what caused this interest plummet versus what I got in the 13th month when I came across a debit transaction in my account history (GASP!). To my oblivion and horror, I have accidentally selected my SAYE account to transfer $50 to a joint account to foot some bill in one of the months last year. Here's the terms and conditions for those who are not familiar with the SAYE account of POSB. "To receive the additional 3.5% p.a. Cash Gift Interest, ensure that you do not make any withdrawal from your POSB SAYE account." "If a withdrawal is made in the month, this will result in the previously accumulated additional 3.5% p.a. interest to be forfeited." Damn....
