■   HMSP’s 3Q18 sales volume grew by 1.2% yoy, bringing 9M18 sales volume to +0.1% yoy, which was better than -0.4% in 1H18.
■   Growth, however, was still paced by the low-margin brand Magnum Mild, which may compress GPM.
■   Given guidance of higher opex in 3Q18, earnings growth in 3Q18 would likely remain muted. Maintain Hold with unchanged TP.
