STECON Group Public Company Limitedの最高経営責任者、パークプーム・スリチャムニ氏は、STECONの2026年の売上高が当初目標の350億バーツを上回る可能性が高いと明らかにした。また、2027年は受注残と順次入ってくる事業機会により、売上高と業績の両面で新たな成長サイクルが明確に始まる年になるとの見方を示した。同社はデータセンター、インフラ、政府の大型プロジェクト、長期的な安定収入を生む投資など、複数の事業グループで同時に成長機会があると見ている。データセンターは大手サービス事業者、いわゆるハイパースケーラーの投資により引き続き重要な市場であり、同社は進行中のプロジェクトで培った実績と経験を活かし、新規受注の獲得とデジタルインフラ市場での役割拡大を目指す。交通インフラ分野では、同社は50年の許認可枠を持つUTAプロジェクトの進展を追っており、計画通りに明確になれば2027年から関連工事の投資が始まると見込まれる。また、BTSやバンコク・エアウェイズといった提携先の大型プロジェクト計画も2027年初めに着工する見通しだ。政府のメガプロジェクトについては、パークプーム氏は今後1~2年で入札に向けた動きが本格化し、一部のプロジェクトは2027年に入札が始まる可能性があり、受注できれば2028年以降に順次売上として計上されるとの見方を示した。

Telephone and Data Systemsは9月1日、Array Digital Infrastructureの残る少数株主分に対する全株式交換による買収提案を撤回した。この取引が成立すれば、Arrayの外部株主は保有1株につきTDS株0.86株を受け取ることになっていた。Arrayの取締役会が設置した特別委員会が、交換比率と相対的な株式評価をめぐってTDSと合意に至らなかったため、TDSはArrayに対する支配的な82%の持分を維持し、公開株主は18%の少数持分を残す形となった。経営陣は、現在の市場環境では新株発行を伴う取引よりも即時の自社株買いが有利だと述べ、6月30日時点で取締役会が承認済みの残枠5億2390万ドルを活用できるとした。これには2025年11月に承認された5億ドルの拡大分が含まれる。TDSとArrayはまた、Arrayが保有する残余の無線周波数帯資産の換金を加速させる計画で、収益を生まない資産を希薄化を伴わない資本に転換し、TDS Telecomの光ファイバー網拡張の資金に充てる。TDSのヘッジファンド保有者は前四半期の47社から50社に増加した一方、空売り残高は浮動株の0.06%と極めて低い水準にある。経営陣は周波数帯の売却や自社株買いのペースについて、固定したスケジュールや価格目標を設定していない。
