GGC swings to profit, clears losses, and gains biofuel tailwinds

  • Q2 profit turnaround on B100 biodiesel GGC swung to a Q2 net profit of 351 million baht from a loss, as B100 biodiesel sales jumped 39% on higher volumes and prices after the government changed the biodiesel blending mandate. This shows the core business is recovering and earning money again.

    The profit swing is the clearest fundamental driver of the stock's recent gains.

  • Cleared accumulated losses, shares up 56% GGC turned profitable and wiped out its accumulated losses through a par-value cut and financial restructuring. The stock surged 56% in a month as analysts called it a turnaround play. Clearing past losses lets the company consider paying dividends again in future.

    This explains the sharp share-price move and the improved financial health investors are reacting to.

  • Government biofuel tax cuts could lift demand Thailand is considering cutting excise taxes on biofuels to lower pump prices and boost consumption. DBS Vickers named GGC among 11 stocks set to benefit as a direct biofuel producer. Lower taxes would mean more ethanol and biodiesel sold, helping GGC's volumes and revenue.

    A potential policy change that directly increases demand for GGC's main products.

  • New feedstock deal and bio-hub support GGC signed an agreement with CP Axtra to study collecting 50,000 litres of used cooking oil a year for possible sustainable aviation fuel and biochemicals. Separately, the industry minister visited GGC's Nakhon Sawan bio-complex, signalling government backing for its bio-industry expansion.

    These are early-stage but show GGC building future feedstock supply and government support for its bio-hub strategy.

Axalta's Akzo merger clears EU hurdle as earnings stay strong

  • EU regulators set to clear Akzo deal with divestments AkzoNobel will sell overlapping vehicle-refinish businesses to satisfy EU regulators, who are expected to approve the $25 billion all-stock merger; the powder-coating concern was dropped. Removing this regulatory block makes the deal far more likely to close, supporting AXTA's price.

    This is the biggest new force: the merger's key regulatory hurdle is being cleared.

  • Q2 beat: record EBITDA, revenue and EPS above estimates Axalta posted record quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $305 million at a 22.7% margin, revenue up 3.1% to $1.35 billion and EPS of $0.72, both beating estimates, with Refinish and Mobility growing. Strong results and maintained guidance support the stock.

    The quarter's results are the core fundamental driver behind the shares.

  • Governance sweeteners and Akzo's own profit growth After shareholder talks, the combined company will hold annual director elections and lower a key approval threshold to two-thirds. AkzoNobel also reported higher Q2 profit and said the merger is on track, with a shareholder vote set for August 5.

    These steps reduce deal risk and show the partner is financially healthy.

  • Fairness probe and valuation debate temper the good news A law firm is investigating whether Axalta's shareholders get a fair deal, which could pressure terms. Meanwhile one valuation model calls the stock about 30% overvalued near $35.81, while a cash-flow model sees it far higher, so views on worth are split.

    This is the real counterweight: legal risk to the deal and disagreement over what the shares are worth.
