Summary · why it matters

Today's standout stocks span several key themes. Thai Airways is racing to clear more than 5,600 pieces of unclaimed baggage within 72 hours after 100% of its flights were delayed and it had to cancel a combined 60 flights per day. The airline has brought Airports of Thailand, or AOT, onto its team, while mobilising military personnel and hiring outside contractors at full capacity. Meanwhile, PLANB shares jumped nearly 7% after its board approved subscribing to 46.28% of iCare's capital increase, worth 860 million baht, extending its mobile insurance business in partnership with COM7. Analysts expect the deal to add 200 million baht in recognised profit per year, creating 11-13% upside. They recommend buying with a target price of 8.10 baht, calling it a Top Pick in the sector. MMM has launched mortgage, sale-with-right-of-redemption, and housing loans through its subsidiary Keha Songkhro Capital, aiming to grow its loan portfolio to 700 million baht by 2028 under its Jump+ plan. TASCO confirmed it holds 1.52 million barrels of Venezuelan crude oil inventory, enough to last through the first quarter of 2027, helping lift asphalt output by 10-15%. Brokers recommend buying with a target price of 18.50 baht and expect a 5.9% dividend yield. STECON expects 2026 revenue to exceed its target of 35 billion baht, with brokers forecasting 2027 revenue could reach 50-60 billion baht, driven by data centres, state megaprojects, and its infrastructure investment business.
