Stocks in the news (amata, jmart, kbank, nrf, super, tplas, tqm) 23.03.21
AMATA sets 950 rais domestic land sales target this year, 700-800 rais in Vietnam, growth will be supported by Bt1,813m backlog, sets Bt4-5b capex.
Comment: When has AMATA ever achieved anything? I’ve been following them since 2004, and nothing has changed. Treat it like the dinosaur it is, when the share price drops for whatever reason(s) and after everyone else has recovered, then you can buy some amata shares.

Comment: They know how to use capital markets and news flow very well. Share price is pricing in a lot atm. I’ve had to shelve my annoyance at the idea of plant-based foods (aren’t cow’s plant based?!) to hold this name. Then again…what food do you think they’ll eat in space? That’s a rabbit hole I’ll ramble about another day.
