Pick of the day: KKP (BUY; AWS TP Bt80.00)
AWS still likes KKP and pick as Top Pick of commercial bank sector. For the overall performance in 2020, loans are expected to continue to grow well. (We expect at 5%) driven by real estate loans and personal loans, while net interest margin (NIM) is likely to revise up from the downtrend of interest rate (expect at 4.5% compared to 4.2% in 2019). In addition, AWS expects revenue from capital market to remain strong according to the market share of Phatra Securities including the upcoming IB deals such as CRC ‘s  IPO.   
KKP has outstanding dividend. AWS expecst the bank’s performance of 2019 to pay a total dividend of Bt5.50 (announced to pay the 1H19 dividend of Bt1.50) and remains dividend for the 2H19 performance of Bt4 with 5.8% dividend yield, compared to the latest closing price.

Daily outlook: the price shows Buy Signal due to continuous Higher High and Higher Low with higher trading value as well. AWS sees the price to test the original high at Bt69.50. If it could stand, it is expected to continue to revise up to test the Gap resistance at Bt70.50. The stop loss point is at Bt66.25 (Resistance: 69.50 / 70.50 / 71.25; Support: 68.00 / 67.00).
