Summary · why it matters

The Ministry of Finance has designated the drive to bring companies in future industries, or the New Economy, onto the Stock Exchange of Thailand as one of the key performance indicators, or KPIs, for three agencies: the Board of Investment, or BOI; the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC; and the Stock Exchange of Thailand, through the BOI to IPO project, in order to assess proactive performance beyond their normal mandates. The measure aims to draw foreign capital and operators across the supply chain from upstream to downstream, including advanced electronic components such as PCB and optical transceivers, modern vehicles, smart agriculture, global pet food, and the wellness sector, to raise funds on the Thai stock market. The BOI board meeting on September 11, 2026 approved additional incentive measures, or on-top incentives, for companies that receive investment promotion and list on the stock exchange. New Economy businesses receive an additional three years of corporate income tax exemption beyond the normal criteria, or the option of an additional 50% corporate income tax reduction for five years. General businesses receive an additional two years of corporate income tax exemption, or the option of an additional 50% corporate income tax reduction for three years. From 2023 to June 2026, there were investment promotion applications totaling more than 5 trillion baht in target industries such as semiconductors, PCB, the AI supply chain, digital, clean energy, robotics, and aircraft parts. In the first half of this year, actual investment of more than 500 billion baht already flowed into the economy, and in 2026 alone, four leading Japanese automakers, Isuzu, Mazda, Mitsubishi Motors and Honda, announced additional investments in Thailand worth a combined total of more than 50 billion baht. Asadej Kongsiri, director and manager of the Stock Exchange of Thailand, said the project will create four areas of mutual benefit, or four big wins, covering the business sector, investors, the capital market and the overall economy. The SEC has approved new revised criteria to let target companies enter the fundraising process faster by shortening the track record requirement. Meanwhile, the CMDF fund provides support in the form of a matching fund, subsidizing expenses and fees for IPOs at 7 million baht per company. At the same time, the three agencies agreed to set up a joint task force, with the support framework of the project between the stock exchange and the CMDF set at a total of five years, ending in 2031.

Jabil Guides Fiscal 2027 Core EPS to $17.55 as AI Revenue Set to Jump 54%

Jabil reported fourth-quarter revenue up 29% year over year and core earnings per share up 34% to $4.40, and guided fiscal 2027 core EPS to $17.55, another gain of about 34%. The company generated $14.4 billion of AI-related revenue in fiscal 2026 and expects $22.1 billion in fiscal 2027, a 54% increase, with six customers in the segment expected to top $1 billion each in fiscal 2027. Jabil supported $36.0 billion of revenue in fiscal 2026 on just $470 million of net capital spending, lifting core return on invested capital to 59%, nearly triple the fiscal 2020 level, and buybacks absorbed about $1.1 billion of free cash flow during the year. On the risk side, chief supply chain officer Francis McKay said memory is being pulled toward AI and hyperscale buyers, squeezing other markets, and Connected Living is expected to shrink 15% to $2.3 billion, while healthcare fell short in the fourth quarter on equipment delays and a slipped customer program. Jabil is adding more than $8.5 billion of revenue in fiscal 2027, which management called unprecedented, and a second hyperscale customer is expected to pass 10% of total revenue, while net inventory days of 64 remain above the 55 to 60 day target.

ICAPE Group reported first-half 2026 consolidated revenue of €113.3 million, up 12.5% from the restated €100.7 million a year earlier, and raised its full-year 2026 consolidated revenue growth target to at least 18% from the previous 12%. The French printed circuit board distributor said organic growth was 12.3% in the half and 18% excluding currency effects, with second-quarter growth of 22.9%, while EBIT came in at €4.7 million and the EBIT margin was 4.1% for the half, including 6% in the second quarter, keeping the company on track for its roughly 6% full-year EBIT margin target. Net income attributable to the group rose to €1.6 million from €1.1 million in the first half of 2025, and recurring net income attributable to the group was €3 million. The order backlog reached a record US$134.9 million as of 25 September 2026, up 44% from US$93.6 million at the end of June 2026 and up 133% from 30 September 2025, while net financial debt stood at €27.6 million at 30 June 2026, down from €28.8 million at 31 December 2025, in compliance with banking covenants. The revised annual target combines organic revenue growth of around 18%, up from a previous range of 6% to 8%, with approximately €5 million in additional revenue from external growth by the end of 2026, down from the €28 million previously targeted after a transaction under way since the start of the year failed to close in July. ICAPE will present its new medium-term operational, strategic and financial targets at a Capital Markets Day on 24 November 2026.
