Hotel stocks reported a combined core profit of Bt3,767m for 2Q25 (+0.4% yoy, +101.3% qoq), mainly supported by MINT’s strong hotel performance in Europe. However, Thai tourism’s 3Q25 outlook should remain dull, similar to 2Q25. Hopes of hotel operators rest on the high travel season in 4Q25, as room bookings still indicate a positive momentum. MINT remains our top pick given its lower cost of debt. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT.
The tone during AWC’s analyst meeting was neutral. We also visited the newly-opened Jurassic World. The new project is a positive addition to the Asiatique, as it boosts the occupancy rate and gives AWC greater pricing power on rentals. The outlook in 3Q25 remains challenging as the number of MICE bookings remains low. However, we are more optimistic about its 4Q25 outlook as the number of forward bookings is showing a strong yoy growth. Maintain BUY. Target price: Bt3.30.
