Millennium Grp Corp (Asia) (MGC.BK)

Q3 2026
▲3▼1

MGC's EV boom faces a tax threat

  • Record Q2 profit and first dividend MGC reported Q2 net profit of 352 million baht, up 554% from a year ago, a fourth straight record quarter. Revenue jumped 83% to 8.68 billion baht. The board approved a first interim dividend of 0.24 baht per share. Strong profits and cash returns support the shares.

    This is the latest hard proof that MGC's core business is performing strongly, which underpins the stock's value.

  • EV deliveries already match full-year 2025 In the first half of 2026, MGC delivered nearly 3,700 XPeng vehicles, matching all of 2025. Management expects full-year sales to double as EV demand stays strong and supply delays ease. It is also expanding parts and service centres to support about 7,000 cars on the road.

    Surging deliveries are the main engine of MGC's revenue and profit growth, directly lifting its earnings outlook.

  • Higher EV import taxes could hit MGC hard The Finance Ministry is preparing to raise import taxes on EVs without local factories, with a cabinet proposal due by September. MGC imports XPeng and Zeekr and has no Thai plant, so it would face higher costs. The stock plunged 20% on the news. If passed, retail prices could rise 25-30%, hurting sales.

    This is the biggest new risk to MGC's business model and explains the sharp recent share price drop.

  • Broker sees record profit and 20.20 baht target Yuanta Securities initiated coverage with a buy rating and a 20.20 baht target, forecasting record Q2 profit of 350 million baht. It expects profit to nearly double in 2026 and sees MGC evolving from a car distributor into a future-tech dealer, with potential upside from humanoid robots. The stock trades at just 6.6 times earnings with a 7% dividend yield.

    A major broker's bullish view and target price give investors a clear valuation anchor and highlight hidden upside.

AutoZone Inc (AZO)

Q3 2026

AutoZone's DIY slump and rival consolidation overshadow solid Q4 earnings

  • O'Reilly's reported bid for Genuine Parts' auto unit O'Reilly reportedly offered about $10 billion for Genuine Parts' auto parts division, which would create a much bigger rival. AutoZone shares fell 5.5% on the news as investors worried about tougher competition in stores and among professional customers.

    This is the main new competitive threat that pushed AZO to a 52-week low.

  • Advance Auto Parts' weak sales signal softer DIY demand Advance Auto Parts missed revenue and posted negative same-store sales, sending its stock down 21% and dragging AutoZone down 4%. The read-through is that do-it-yourself customers are pulling back as household budgets tighten, a worry for AutoZone's core retail business.

    It shows a sector-wide demand problem that hit AZO even without its own bad results.

  • Q4 earnings: profit beat, revenue miss, DIY weak but commercial strong AutoZone's fiscal Q4 EPS rose 15.1% to $56.05 and beat estimates, but revenue of $6.59 billion missed by about 1.6%. Same-store sales rose only 2.7%, with domestic DIY down 0.6% while commercial sales jumped 8.6%, showing growth is coming from professional customers, not everyday shoppers.

    This is the key new company-specific result that explains the mixed stock reaction.

  • Record full-year sales and aggressive store expansion Full-year sales rose 7.4% to a record $20.3 billion, and AutoZone opened 374 stores, its most ever, including 175 in Q4. Management expects sales to accelerate in fiscal 2027 and plans about 400 more store openings, signaling confidence despite the soft DIY trend.

    It is the main positive counterweight showing the long-term growth engine is still running.
