JMART’s acquisition of Tee Noi Suki restaurant has been 95% completed, on track to complete by end of Nov, firms on 50% revenue growth target.

KTB may report strongest growth among peers in 3Q on higher interest income from government projects, lower LLP and fees from Pao Tang App, Tabloid.

BTC v.v. CPF. I read that there are concerns about BTC’s ability to maintain margins and to continue its short term history of growth. This is a big assumption by me, but with the likelihood of a continuing weak Thai baht to help further growth of its exports, the company’s IPO pricing seem to be modest; especially when compared with CPF. any comments. as I am working off very limited financial information. I can only find the IPO in Thai language.
