Summary · why it matters

Kasikorn Securities has raised its profit forecasts for VGI Public Company Limited, or VGI, for fiscal years 2026/27, 2027/28 and 2028/29 by 12.6%, 33.2% and 26.6% respectively, mainly due to higher profit contribution from PLANB after PLANB began recognising its share of profit from COM7. However, the broker maintains a hold rating and raises its target price by 3% to 1.25 baht to reflect the higher investment value in PLANB and JMART. Operating results remain loss-making, and uncertainty over capital allocation remains a key overhang because VGI has yet to announce a clear investment plan for excess liquidity of nearly 20 billion baht, which is a significant component of the research team's valuation. VGI plans to announce its investment plan by the end of 2026. From the analyst meeting, VGI targets fiscal 2026/27 revenue growth of 8 to 18% from its distribution business, compared with the research team's forecast of 4% revenue growth, and targets a gross margin of 35 to 40%, compared with the forecast of 34%. In afternoon trading, VGI shares moved at 1.14 baht, up 0.12 baht or 11.76%, with turnover of 715.75 million baht.
