Company Update | AP (Thailand) (AP TB/BUY/Bt8.90/Target: Bt10.10) 4Q25 presales are expected to improve yoy, driven by aggressive launches. However, on a qoq basis, presales are anticipated to decline slightly due to the long holidays and exceptionally high base in 3Q25. 4Q25 earnings are projected to reach its peak for the year, underpinned by backlogs and the newly-completed condominium. AP is expected to maintain a proactive launch strategy in 2026, focusing on portfolio expansion with risk...
Company Update | Aeon Thana Sinsap (Thailand) (AEONTS TB/SELL/Bt102.50/Target: Bt92.00) We came away from AEONTS’s analyst meeting with a negative view. We are concerned about the company’s direction toward expanding hire-purchase loans, especially in motorcycles. We are concerned about credit costs, the asset quality outlook, and the possibility of repeating a vicious cycle similar to that experienced by its peers in the past. Downgrade to SELL with a lower target price of Bt92.00 (from Bt110...
We trim China’s 2026 PV sales growth to 3% yoy, based on a 2% yoy drop in domestic sales and 20% export growth, as the bigger-than-expected stimulus rollback weighs on demand. Based on lower 2026 sales, we cut 2026 net profit forecasts for OEMs by 3-10%, and cut target prices for Geely, BYD, GWM, XPeng and Li Auto to HK$36.00/HK$81.00/HK$18.50/HK$145.00/HK$50.00 respectively. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT. Top BUYs: CATL, Ganfeng Lithium, Minth and Geely. Top SELL: Li Auto.
Sector Update | Retail Dec 25 SSSG remained negative, pressured by negative events and weak consumer spending. However, home improvement retail appeared to improve in Dec 25, benefitting from post-flood demand in the south. A short-term SSSG recovery is likely in 2Q26, supported by a low base in 2Q25, particularly within the home improvement segment. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT. Top pick is GLOBAL as it has resilient SSSG momentum in 1Q26, thanks to a very low base in 1Q25.

2026: Look Beyond Congestion For Long-term Positioning Highlights Achieved commendable 2025 volume growth (+3.4%) despite losing market share. Port statistics showed Westports Holdings (WPRTS) lost market share to other renowned SOM ports such as PTP (2025 growth: 14%) and PSA (11M25 growth: 8%). An unexpected surge in port congestion towards Dec 25 may extend this competitive disparity, during which WPRTS executed countermeasures by deploying maximum resources (in other words, effective capac...
Top Stories Company Update | Westports Holdings (WPRTS MK /HOLD/RM5.66/Target: RM5.55) WPRTS achieved commendable 2025 volume growth (+3.4%) despite losing market share. An unexpected surge in port congestion towards Dec 25 forced WPRTS to deploy maximum resources. The congestion may boost VAS revenues, but opex could also surge. We continue to believe that WPRTS will only become more relevant. Risk-reward remains fair, hence we maintain HOLD and RM5.55 target price. Market Spotlight The FBMKL...

We expect HKEX to achieve a 4% yoy earnings growth in 4Q25, driven by a 16% yoy core revenue growth amid a yoy headline ADT increase, partly offset by a sharp NII decline (-35% yoy) arising from narrowing spread. However, we remain constructive on the ADT outlook for 2026, supported by the global liquidity easing cycle, robust IPO pipeline and potential new stimulus measures in China. Thus, we see further re-rating potential for HKEX. Maintain BUY. Target price: HK$550.00.
The sector experienced a fruitful year of innovation in 2025, and we expect globalisation and improving operating efficiency to continue to drive rapid earnings growth for drug innovators and CRO leaders from 2026 onwards. Seeing strong online demand, internet healthcare players are likely to sustain solid revenue and earnings expansion in 2026. We also anticipate that domestic medical device manufacturers will experience a gradual sales growth recovery, fuelled by technological advancements and...
Company Update | PTT Exploration and Production (PTTEP TB/BUY/Bt108.50/Target: Bt136.00) We expect PTTEP’s 4Q25 net profit to reach Bt16.6b, up 31% qoq. Core profit is projected to edge up qoq, supported by higher sales volumes and lower unit costs, which should be sufficient to offset the decline in ASP. As a result, we forecast 2025 net profit at Bt59.4b, down 25% yoy. In our view, PTTEP remains an attractive dividend play, with an expected 2H25 dividend of Bt4.40/share. We maintain BUY with...
