PTG's non-oil surge and margin recovery offset by tax hit and estimate cut

  • Non-oil profit surge led by Punthai Coffee PTG's first-half non-oil gross profit jumped 39.5%, driven by Punthai Coffee revenue up 61.5% after adding 825 branches. This fast-growing, higher-margin business is shifting PTG away from volatile fuel sales and supports a higher valuation.

    This is the core growth engine behind PTG's earnings recovery and future profit mix.

  • Q2 swing to profit and margin recovery PTG swung to a 74 million baht net profit in Q2 2026 from a 205 million baht loss, as the removal of the pump price cap lifted marketing margin to 1.83 baht per litre, up 41% quarter-on-quarter. This shows core profitability is improving.

    The margin recovery is the key driver of PTG's earnings turnaround and future profit growth.

  • Q2 profit misses estimates on high tax rate PTG's Q2 net profit of 74 million baht missed analyst estimates by 22% and fell 76.3% year-on-year due to a 40.4% effective tax rate. This tax burden clouds the profit recovery and may weigh on near-term sentiment.

    The earnings miss and high tax rate are a real counterweight to the positive margin story.

  • September earnings estimate cut 26% PTG's September earnings estimate was revised down 26%, the sharpest among fuel station operators, even as the broader SET estimate rose. This downgrade reflects analyst caution on PTG's near-term earnings and can pressure the stock.

    The sharp estimate cut is a direct negative signal for PTG's valuation and investor expectations.

Millennium Grp Corp (Asia) (MGC.BK)

Q3 2026

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.
