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.

Sherwin-Williams Co (SHW)

Q3 202626 Jul – 14 Sep 2026

Sherwin-Williams beats Q2, raises guidance, but valuation and risks temper outlook

Strong Q2 earnings and raised guidance Sherwin-Williams reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $3.70, beating estimates, on revenue of $6.79 billion, up 7.5%. The company raised full-year guidance to near $12 EPS, sending the stock up 7.5–8.3%.
This is the main positive event that drove the stock during the period.
Growth from new accounts and share gains Growth came from new account wins and market share gains, especially in Protective & Marine coatings for data centers and semiconductors. An 8% September price hike also helped offset raw material inflation.
These operational successes contributed to revenue growth and margin protection.
Cost savings and new product launch Store closures are saving about $17 million annually, and the company launched a new eco-friendly Krylon spray paint, which could support future sales and efficiency.
These actions improve profitability and product offerings.
Risks temper outlook despite analyst fair value Higher prices could dampen demand, housing softness and supply-chain issues (including the Strait of Hormuz closure) may pressure margins, and the stock trades at ~30x earnings, above industry averages, leaving a mixed valuation picture despite analyst fair value of $372.95.
These risks could limit upside and are important counterweights to the positive drivers.

Earnings Beat, Raised Guidance, and Price Hikes Drive Sherwin-Williams

Strong Q2 Earnings and Raised Guidance Sherwin-Williams beat second-quarter estimates with adjusted earnings of $3.70 per share and revenue up 7.5% to $6.79 billion. The company raised full-year profit guidance, signaling confidence. This positive news pushed the stock up 7.5% and supports higher prices ahead.
This is the core positive fundamental driver that directly lifted the stock and improved future outlook.
8% Price Increase to Offset Costs Sherwin-Williams is raising prices by 8% starting September 1 to counter higher raw material costs from the Strait of Hormuz closure. This protects profit margins and shows pricing power. The stock rose over 8% after the announcement, though higher prices could eventually dampen demand.
This explains a key margin-protection move and its immediate positive market reaction.
New Water-Based Spray Paint Launch Krylon, a Sherwin-Williams brand, launched Harmony, a water-based spray paint that reduces odor and flammability. This expands the product line into eco-friendly and user-friendly options, potentially boosting sales in DIY and professional markets. Success depends on retailer adoption and repeat purchases.
This product innovation could drive future revenue growth and shows the company's focus on meeting consumer trends.
Dividend and Valuation Concerns Sherwin-Williams declared a $0.80 quarterly dividend, but the stock trades at about 30 times earnings, above industry average. Analysts see fair value at $372.95, implying undervaluation, yet risks like softer housing demand and supply chain issues could pressure margins. This creates a mixed outlook for investors.
This highlights the balance between income and valuation risks that investors should weigh.

Sherwin-Williams beats, raises guidance, and announces 8% price hike

Earnings beat and raised full-year guidance Sherwin-Williams reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $3.70 per share on $6.79 billion in revenue, beating estimates, and raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to a midpoint of $12. The stock jumped 7.5-8.3% as investors welcomed the strong results and outlook.
This is the core new event that directly drove the stock's sharp move this period.
8% price hike to offset raw material inflation The company announced an 8% price increase effective September 1 to counter accelerating raw material inflation, which is expected to reach high single digits in the second half. This supports margins and profitability, a key reason for the stock's rise.
The price hike is a new, specific action that helps explain why the company can maintain profits despite cost pressures.
Market share gains and new account wins Sherwin-Williams attributed its strong growth to aggressive new account wins and share gains, not a broad demand recovery. Its Paint Stores Group saw momentum in Protective and Marine, especially in data centers and semiconductor infrastructure, which boosts revenue and investor confidence.
This shows the company is growing even without a market recovery, a key driver of the raised guidance.
Store optimization and cost savings The company closed 57 underperforming stores and expects restructuring to yield about $17 million in annual savings, with half realized in 2026. It also plans to return to the high end of its 80-100 net new store opening target in 2027, supporting long-term profitability.
These actions improve efficiency and future growth prospects, contributing to the positive outlook.
