CSS
CSS expects to have 2015 revenue of Bt4.8bn and get a project in Myanmar on the boom in communication. Its current backlog is now Bt1.3bn. (Thun Hoon, 26/11/15)
Comment: With a backlog of only thb 1.3bn there’s no way it can justify its current valuation….but retail seems to believe otherwise, management obviously doesn’t give his continuous selling of stock

SMPC
SMPC expects this year’s revenue to be the highest in 34 years backed by recovery of exports, low commodity prices and weak baht. (Thun Hoon, 26/11/15)
Comment: 80% of their business is exports, I don’t understand yet what makes them competitive but with LPG prices being subsidised maybe thats why overseas customers are willing to buy from them?

TRUE insists that it has no plan to increase capital. It paid cash for the license it won at the auction yesterday. (Khao Hoon, 26/11/15)
