Summary: Jackspeed Corporation's (JS) aviation certification progress for the FAR 145 certification is on track, and management is targeting to obtain the certification within 6 months. We believe this certification should aid in enhancing its technical competency and could translate into better sales. Meanwhile, Thailand is on its way to reaching the 2m automotive units production target, at which Thailand will move up from its current 14th place ranking to become one of the top 10 auto manufacturing countries in the world. Thailand's growing auto assembly facilities and a large export and domestic auto market also present opportunities for Jackspeed's parts/accessories business in Thailand. In view of the still healthy macro environment for Thailand's auto industry and together with Jackspeed's growing technical expertise in the aviation business, we are maintaining our fair value of S$0.26 and reiterate our BUY rating.
