Dohome's profit rebound and flood-repair demand lift outlook, but one broker stays bearish
Earnings recovery and margin expansion Dohome's Q2 profit jumped 94% from a year earlier, gross margin widened to 20.2%, and same-store sales turned positive at 4–6%, helped by contractor and government work. Q3 profit is seen up 35–45%.
This is the core new fundamental improvement that drove positive sentiment in the quarter.
Broker upgrade and flood-repair demand CGSI upgraded Dohome from Sell to Buy and made it a top pick, while several brokers named it a post-flood home-repair winner, noting 22% of its branches are in flood-affected Bangkok.
This captures the key analyst action and the new demand catalyst from flooding that lifted the stock.
Government stimulus and solar subsidies Government solar-rooftop subsidies and the extended Thai Help Thai stimulus program are expected to support Dohome's sales and profit in the coming quarters.
These policy measures are new tailwinds that could boost demand for Dohome's products.
Bualuang Sell rating and weak outlook Bualuang kept a Sell rating and 3.20 baht target, forecasting 2027 core profit down 5% on postponed store openings, weak household and construction demand, and a shrinking government investment budget, calling post-flood gains a selling opportunity.
This is the main counterweight, showing that not all analysts share the optimistic view.
