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.

O’Reilly Automotive Inc (ORLY)

Q3 2026
▲3▼1

O'Reilly's strong Q2 and raised outlook outweigh takeover worries

  • Q2 beat and raised guidance O'Reilly reported 6% comparable store sales growth, revenue of $4.89 billion (beating estimates), and raised full-year sales and earnings guidance. This shows the core business is healthy and growing, which supports a higher stock price.

    This is the main positive force this period and directly answers what is driving ORLY now.

  • Professional segment strength Professional comparable sales grew 10% for the fourth straight quarter, driven by demand from repair shops. This steady growth in a higher-margin segment gives investors confidence in future earnings.

    It explains a key driver behind the raised guidance and why the market may reward the stock.

  • No big acquisition planned CEO Brad Beckham said O'Reilly has no intention of pursuing a large transformative acquisition, focusing instead on smaller tuck-in deals. This eases fears about a costly or risky takeover, which had weighed on the stock.

    It removes a major overhang from earlier in the period and clarifies management's strategy.

  • DIY demand softness DIY transaction counts declined slightly due to softer demand in hot-weather categories, and inflation benefits are expected to moderate in the second half. This could pressure sales growth and margins, a real counterweight to the positive news.

    It provides a balanced view of risks that could limit upside, which readers need to know.
