Maintain BUY. SCB’s new strategy is to unlock potential future value by 25 targeting to enhance its customer base from 50m to 200m in the next five years. We reiterate our BUY rating with a revised price target of Bt130 (from SCB SET Bt114), rolling out to 1.0x mid-2022F book. The stock is trading at 11.6x our 2021F earnings.
