Historical Share Price Analysis
In 2014/15, BTS share price rose 8.9% from THB 8.40 per share to THB 9.15 per share. This increase was more or less in line with the SET Index, which rose 9.4% YoY, but an underperformance compared to the SET Transportation Index, which rose by more than 20%. Aside from events which impacted the share price as detailed below, the Company also saw a small increase in the number of issued and fully paid up shares (see New Equity Issuance). As of 31 March 2015, the Company’s market capitalisation was THB 109.1bn (USD 3.2bn), representing a 9.0% increase YoY.
After a slow start to the year due to institutional shareholders reducing their holdings, BTS share price outperformed the SET Index, increasing quickly from its year-low trough of THB 8.05 per share on 23 May 2014 to THB 8.70 on 4 June 2014 on anticipation of payment of the first interim dividend. BTS subsequently underperformed the SET Index from mid-June through until end July but this was once again corrected through a surge in BTS stock price, which rose by 14% to THB 9.75 per share by 15 August 2014 as the Company announced a share repurchase programme on 8 August 2014.
BTS share price continued to outperform the Index through until 13 November 2014 when it reached its year-high price of THB 10.50 per share. This outperformance was attributable to the positive news flow on the government’s ambitions in relation to infrastructure development, the ongoing share buyback by the Company as well as new strategic partnerships the Company had announced in relation to its real estate business.
From December 2014 until mid-January 2015, BTS share price moved in line with the market, reaching a quarterly high of THB 10.40 per share on 13 January 2015, once again supported by an interim dividend announcement on 12 January 2015. Thereafter followed a period of underperformance through 2 February 2015 as retail shareholders rotated out of BTS and generally reduced weighting in the market. For the remaining 2 months of the fiscal year, BTS share price moved in line with the Index, following the same general downward trend, closing the fiscal year at THB 9.15 per share. Key economic events which led to the decline in the SET Index were weak exports, slow recovery in domestic demand and lackluster economic activities.
