Tiandiyuan Responds to Criticism of Slow Transformation: Accelerating New Industry Rollout, No ST Status
Tiandiyuan, at its 2026 interim results briefing, responded to investor criticism over slow transformation progress, saying the company is making every effort to accelerate the implementation of its new industry plans and confirming that as of now there is no situation involving the imposition of ST warning status. The state-controlled real estate enterprise, under Xi'an Gaoke Group and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, achieved operating revenue of 1.63 billion yuan in the first half of the year, down 33.75 percent year on year. Net profit attributable to the parent company was negative 532 million yuan, with the loss widening sharply compared with the same period last year. As of the end of the first half of 2026, its asset-liability ratio reached 91.3 percent. The company said the decline in operating revenue scale and gross margin was mainly affected by sales and carry-over of real estate projects. At the same time, accelerated clearance of existing projects led to lower resource selling prices, and impairment provisions were made for some inventories. In addition, the number of development projects eligible for interest capitalisation was relatively small, resulting in reduced capitalised interest and increased expensed interest. In response to investor questions about the progress of transferring a 21 percent equity stake in Xi'an Chuangdian Zhiku Business Consulting Management Co., Ltd., Tiandiyuan replied that the equity has been listed for transfer through the Western Property Rights Exchange platform and that procedures for changing industrial and commercial registration information are currently being processed.

Jareeporn Jarukornsakul, Chief Executive Officer of WHA Corporation Public Company Limited, or WHA, disclosed that operating results in the fourth quarter of 2026 will improve markedly from the third quarter of 2026 and will mark the highest growth period of the year, driven by a substantial volume of industrial estate land sales awaiting transfer and revenue recognition, together with support from asset sales into an investment trust.

For 2026, the company is maintaining its land sales target at approximately 2,500 rai, after selling about 504 rai in the first half of this year, not yet including a large volume of sales awaiting transfer.

Brokers see SPALI's Q3 2026 profit stumbling as floods hit transfers, pushing revenue into Q4
Analysts at leading securities firms estimate that Supalai Public Company Limited, or SPALI, will post weak third-quarter 2026 net profit, slowing both year on year and quarter on quarter, with profit projected in a range of 692 million baht to 6,084 million baht, or a decline of 12.3% to 58% quarter on quarter and 4.5% to 41% year on year. The main cause was an unexpected public holiday announcement and flooding in late September, which stalled ownership transfers and pushed them into the fourth quarter of 2026. Most brokers, however, still recommend buying, with target prices ranging from 16.8 baht to 18.3 baht, and expect fourth-quarter 2026 results to recover and mark the year's peak, driven by the deferred transfer revenue as well as a full quarter of recognition from transfers at the high-margin Supalai Parc Ekkamai-Pattanakarn condominium. Third-quarter 2026 presales came in at 5.6 billion baht, down 35% year on year, bringing the nine-month total to 18.5 billion baht, or only 62% of the full-year target of 30 billion baht. Management has cut its 2026 new project launch target by 17% to just 22 billion to 29 billion baht, from 35 billion baht previously. Nevertheless, analysts still forecast 2026 net profit of 4,450 million to 4,800 million baht, growing 12% to 20% year on year, supported by revenue from the residential business of 24.85 billion baht, and expect a high dividend yield of 7.6% to 8.6%.

Brokerage Recommends Buying WHA, Citing Land Transfers and REIT Boost to Fourth-Quarter 2026 Profit
A securities research note recommends buying WHA shares, assessing that second-half 2026 performance will outshine the first half, particularly in the fourth quarter of 2026, driven by accelerated land transfers and asset monetization. In the first half of 2026, the company recorded land sales of 1,199 rai but transferred only 505 rai, while carrying a backlog of 1,464 rai and letters of intent covering another 2,891 rai, providing a base to support accelerated transfers late in the year. The company is maintaining its 2026 land sales target of 2,500 rai despite the risk that some customer groups may delay decisions. In addition, the fourth quarter of 2026 has a key catalyst from asset sales into REITs totaling 144,000 square meters, valued at approximately 3.6 billion baht, split between WHART at 99,000 square meters and WHAIR at 45,000 square meters. The fourth quarter of 2026 is therefore expected to be the year's most outstanding period for profit. On margin quality, gross margin in the land sales business reported in the second quarter of 2026 was only 28% due to accounting effects, but normalized margin, excluding the impact of IER's purchase price allocation, stood at 66%, up from 48% year on year. The selling price of land for assets WHA holds itself in Thailand was 5.05 million baht per rai, close to the prior year, reflecting still-solid pricing power. Land demand continues to be supported by production base relocations, especially in EV, electronics, semiconductor and PCB. WHAUP is another standout growth engine, driven by data centers for both water and electricity. In the first half of 2026, utilities volume rose 9% year on year and capacity charge increased to 385 million baht from 116 million baht a year earlier, while solar revenue rose 36%. The average target price from IAA Consensus stands at 5.65 baht, with the current price trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 16 times, close to the five-year average, and lagging the sector by about 8.7% over the past 60 trading days. On short-term technicals, the stock has pulled back to test and hold support at the low of the 4.56 candlestick, with buying pressure returning to close at the high on a long white candle. Trading volume increased, signaling a double-bottom pattern, with resistance at the double-top test level of 4.88 to 4.90. A break above that level would be a buy signal completing the downtrend. For investors already holding the stock or looking to add, there is a chance to test resistance at 4.80, 4.90 and 5.10. For those without the stock, short-term buying should focus on holding support at 4.66 and 4.56, and should not fall below that.

Wallapa Traisorat, Chief Executive Officer and President of Asset World Corp Public Company Limited, or AWC, disclosed that the flood situation has not yet directly affected the company's hotel bookings, with no cancellations, because Thailand is hosting major events in the second half of 2026 and most AWC hotels are not located in areas hit hardest by the flooding. Meanwhile, the company is revising its five-year investment plan under a total investment budget of 100 billion baht, shifting the original 2026-2030 period to a new plan starting in 2027, in order to develop world-class landmark projects in Bangkok, Pattaya and key tourist destinations, with global hotel chain partners such as InterContinental, Ritz-Carlton Reserve, JW Marriott, Marriott Marquis, Autograph Collection and Moxy.

S&P upgrades Cushman & Wakefield to 'BB' on leverage progress
S&P Global Ratings has upgraded Cushman & Wakefield plc's issuer credit rating to 'BB' from 'BB-', citing an ongoing recovery in commercial real estate activity and disciplined debt reduction efforts. The rating agency also raised its issue-level ratings on the Chicago-based firm's senior secured debt to 'BB' with a recovery rating of '3'. The rating action reflects expectations that Cushman & Wakefield can maintain adjusted leverage within a 3x to 4x range, even through cyclically weaker market conditions. Stronger operational execution and lower debt levels reduced adjusted leverage to 3.5x at year-end 2025, down from 4.5x a year earlier, with further improvement to 3x to 3.5x projected through 2027. S&P expects adjusted revenue to expand 6% to 7% annually through 2027, backed by a healthy leasing pipeline and high-margin service contracts, and warned that a rating downside could emerge if leverage exceeds 4x, whereas an upgrade would require leverage falling below 3x alongside sustained margin expansion above 10%.
