Q3 2026

CKP's Q3 profit peak meets El Niño risk and weak Q2

  • Q3 high season to lift profit to year's peak Lao hydropower plants are in their annual high-water season, and the BIC gas plant has no maintenance shutdown, so analysts expect Q3 2026 profit of 800–900 million baht — the year's best quarter. That supports the share price near term.

    The seasonal profit peak is the main positive force behind CKP right now.

  • Weak Q2 profit and super El Niño risk Q2 2026 net profit fell 84% to 99 million baht on lower Nam Ngum 2 output and a currency loss, missing estimates. Analysts also warn a super El Niño could cut water flows from late 2026 into 2027, a medium-term drag.

    This is the main counterweight — weak reported earnings and a looming drought risk.

  • Luang Prabang dam and solar projects advance CKP's 50%-owned Luang Prabang hydropower project is 77% built and due to start in 2030, funded by green bonds at low cost. Its 5 MW solar project with BEM began operating in September, adding renewable capacity and future revenue.

    New project progress and low-cost funding underpin CKP's long-term growth story.

  • ESG recognition draws institutional money CKP was named to the ESG100 list for a fifth year and flagged by Kasikorn Securities as a beneficiary of Thailand's coming carbon pricing and CBAM rules. Good ESG scores can attract foreign and institutional investors, supporting demand for the stock.

    ESG standing is a fresh, recurring reason investors may buy CKP.

SDIC Power Holdings Co Ltd (600886.CG)

Q3 2026

Weak demand and profit drop offset buybacks and new projects

  • Q2 power generation plunges 14.75% on weak demand SDIC Power's second-quarter electricity output fell 14.75% from a year earlier, and first-half output dropped 8.70%. Less electricity sold means lower revenue and profit, which pressures the stock price down.

    This is the core operating weakness that explains the earnings decline and is new information for readers.

  • Major shareholder buyback and market support After a market plunge, the controlling shareholder plans to buy 150 million yuan of shares within six months, and regulators pledged to stabilize markets. This buying supports the stock price by showing confidence and adding demand for shares.

    This is a direct, new positive force for the stock price amid broader market turmoil.

  • 33.4 billion yuan hydropower joint venture with CATL SDIC Power will build the Yagen II hydropower station with battery giant CATL, investing 33.4 billion yuan for 2.4 million kilowatts of clean energy. This long-term project adds future generating capacity and growth potential, though first power is not expected until 2035.

    This is a major new investment that signals long-term growth and partnership with a leading company.

  • First-half profit falls 6.83%, Q2 down 33% from Q1 SDIC Power's first-half net profit fell 6.83% to 3.535 billion yuan, with revenue down 7.05%. Second-quarter profit dropped 33% from the first quarter, showing a sharp slowdown that weighs on the stock price.

    This is the key financial result that confirms the earnings pressure and is new to readers.
