Greater China Company Update | Anta Sports (2020 HK/BUY/HK$82.55/Target: HK$103.40) In 4Q25, the Anta brand’s retail sales missed expectations, recording a low single-digit decline.

Top Stories Company Results | Bangkok Bank (BBL TB/SELL/Bt170.50/Target: Bt140.00) BBL posted a 4Q25 net profit of Bt7.76b, -25% yoy and -44% qoq.

Top Stories Company Results | IRPC (IRPC TB/HOLD/Bt1.02/Target: Bt1.20) IRPC’s 3Q25 performance turnaround to a net profit of Bt340m stemmed from better GRM and inventory gains offset by petrochemical weakness. 9M25 loss narrowed yoy to Bt2.2b from a core loss of Bt3.2b.

The recent rebound in freight indices and suspension of US-China port fees should support 4Q25 earnings. While oversupply risks remain in 2026, accelerated scrapping could ease pressure. Its strong net cash position (63% of market cap) should allow CSH to navigate the downcycle with ...

We expect 2Q25 earnings to come in at Bt1.35b, declining both yoy and qoq due to sluggish same-store sales and a lower gross margin. The unusually cold summer significantly impacted sales of cooling products. We also anticipate continued weakness in same-store sales in 2H25, which could weigh on both top-line and profitability. Given the downside risk to consensus forecast, we downgrade HMPRO to SELL with a lower target price of Bt5.60.
