BWG wins new waste contracts, sells unit for cash, but faces partial shutdown appeal

  • Partial shutdown order appealed Thailand's Department of Industrial Works ordered a partial suspension of BWG's operations. BWG appealed, saying the order came from online pressure after a drone clip, not facts. If the shutdown stands, it could cut the waste BWG can process and hurt revenue. The appeal is pending.

    A regulatory shutdown threat is a major risk that can push the stock down and is a real counterweight to the positive news.

  • New waste disposal contracts BWG signed an MOU with Prasat Thong municipality to manage hard-to-recycle waste, and was hired to destroy 2.08 million seized counterfeit items worth 2.1 billion baht. These deals bring more waste volume through BWG's facilities, supporting revenue and showing demand for its services.

    New contracts directly increase demand for BWG's core waste management services, a key driver of future earnings.

  • Selling BWC stake for 330 million baht BWG agreed to sell its 99.96% stake in Better West Care to ETC for 330 million baht, restructuring investments and boosting liquidity. ETC shareholders vote on Oct 6; an advisor says the price is too high, but ETC's board backs it. If approved, BWG gets cash and keeps indirect exposure.

    The sale provides cash and simplifies BWG's holdings, but the advisor's objection adds uncertainty about completion.

  • TRIS affirms BBB rating, new power plan TRIS Rating affirmed BWG's BBB credit rating with stable outlook, expecting waste volumes to grow 2% yearly and EBITDA to recover to 640-670 million baht by 2028. BWG also said its Saraburi landfill is flood-safe and the new Power Development Plan opens doors to expand into power plants.

    A stable rating and growth outlook support investor confidence and lower borrowing costs, while the power plan offers a new growth path.

Veolia Environnement VE SA (VIE.PA)

Q3 2026

Veolia raises targets, wins big water and data-center deals

  • H1 profit up, 2026 targets raised Veolia's first-half net income rose to €682 million and EBITDA grew 5% to €3.55 billion. Management raised 2026 goals to 5-6% organic EBITDA growth and at least 8% profit growth, a sign the core business is getting stronger and more predictable.

    Higher profit and raised guidance directly support the stock's value.

  • €1 billion Barcelona water contract Veolia won a €1 billion, 25-year deal to run drinking water for greater Barcelona, including leak detection and digital controls. Long contracts like this lock in steady revenue for decades and expand its water business in a drought-hit region.

    A large, long-term contract adds durable revenue and growth.

  • Data-center water and power services grow Veolia will operate a 350-megawatt off-grid microgrid for an AI data center in Ohio, and the data-center water treatment market is seen growing 12.3% a year to $5.9 billion by 2031. This opens a fast-growing new customer base beyond traditional utilities.

    New data-center contracts and market growth point to a fresh demand driver.

  • Legal payout and analyst target cut Veolia paid $371 million in damages and interest to Antero Midstream, a real cash hit. Separately, Morgan Stanley kept Veolia at Equal-weight and cut its price target to €35 from €38, citing sector-wide pressure from French political uncertainty.

    These are the main counterweights: a cash outflow and a lowered analyst target.
