Q3 2026

DEMCO swings to 519% profit jump, 2.7bn baht backlog, JUMP+ growth plan

  • First-half profit turns around sharply DEMCO posted a first-half 2026 net profit of 30.2 million baht, up 519% from a 7.2 million baht loss a year earlier, on revenue of 974.5 million baht. The swing came from cutting total costs and admin expenses by about 11%, so the core business is now making money instead of losing it.

    The profit turnaround is the main new financial fact that changes how investors value DEMCO.

  • 2.7 billion baht backlog gives revenue visibility DEMCO holds a backlog of 2,699 million baht of signed work, to be booked as revenue through 2028. That is roughly three times last year's annual revenue, so future sales are largely already contracted rather than depending on new orders. Most work is EPC electrical projects, plus transmission lines, substations and renewable energy.

    A large contracted backlog is the clearest reason future earnings are more predictable, which supports the share price.

  • JUMP+ plan targets 200 million baht profit by 2028 Management laid out the JUMP+ strategy: grow revenue (Growth+), cut costs (Lean+), and find new opportunities (Opportunity+), aiming for 200 million baht net profit by 2028. That is far above the current 30 million baht half-year profit, so it is an ambition, not a promise, and depends on winning new bids.

    The JUMP+ target is the new forward-looking plan that shapes expectations beyond the current backlog.

  • Pitching energy solutions to industrial customers DEMCO showcased electrical engineering, power transmission, renewable energy and infrastructure solutions at a PEA seminar for industrial electricity users, drawing strong interest and discussing projects with entrepreneurs. This is early-stage marketing that could feed future orders, but no contracts or revenue have been announced yet.

    It shows DEMCO actively hunting new demand, the source of future backlog beyond what is already signed.

Prysmian SpA (0NUX.LSE)

Q3 2026

Prysmian buys Atkore, wins Amazon data-center cable deal

  • Prysmian to buy Atkore for $3.8bn Prysmian agreed to buy US cable maker Atkore for $3.8 billion in cash, a 30% premium. It expands Prysmian's North American electrification and data-centre business, letting it sell more products to the same customers. Bigger scale and cross-selling can lift future earnings, though the cash outlay and debt taken on are the cost.

    The acquisition is the period's biggest company-specific event and directly changes Prysmian's growth outlook.

  • Amazon Ohio data-centre cable supply deal Prysmian will make low-carbon aluminium cables for an Amazon data centre in Ohio, using Rio Tinto metal, at its Sedalia plant. It shows Prysmian winning work in the fast-growing data-centre power market and supports its green-revenue goal. No contract value was given and the technology is early-stage, so near-term earnings impact is limited.

    It is a fresh, concrete win in Prysmian's key growth market of data-centre electrification.

  • AI infrastructure demand keeps Prysmian in favour Investors are rewarding companies that supply the AI build-out, and Prysmian was named among outperformers on strong AI-enabling demand. Data centres and power grids need huge amounts of cable, so this trend supports Prysmian's orders and pricing. It is a broad market tailwind rather than a company announcement.

    It explains the sector-wide demand force behind Prysmian's share-price support this period.

  • Lawyer probe into Atkore deal fairness A shareholder-rights law firm is investigating whether Atkore's $95-per-share sale to Prysmian is fair to Atkore holders. Such probes are common and rarely block deals, but they can delay closing or push for better terms. For Prysmian the risk is mainly timing and cost, not a change to its strategy.

    It is the main counterweight to the acquisition news and could affect deal completion.
