JMT's bad-debt pipeline revives as state stimulus lifts recovery hopes

  • NPL supply returns, Q3/Q4 profit seen improving Banks are again auctioning bad-debt portfolios after a long lull, giving JMT more to buy. The CEO says Q3 2026 earnings should beat Q2, with possible lower bad-loan provisions as borrowers repay better. More supply means more future income.

    This is the core new operational driver: rising NPL supply directly feeds JMT's debt-buying and future collections.

  • Government stimulus supports debtors' ability to pay Thailand's 57.5-billion-baht stimulus, including bigger welfare-card allowances and the Thai Chuay Thai Plus co-payment, puts cash in consumers' hands. Broker KSS names JMT a beneficiary because better household finances mean debtors are more likely to repay, lifting collections.

    It explains a new external force that improves JMT's collection rates and was explicitly cited by a broker as a reason to own the stock.

  • Broker raises target to 13 baht, sees best quarter ahead ASL Securities keeps a Buy rating and 13-baht target, saying Q4 2026 could be the year's best quarter as collections accelerate and NPL supply rises. JMT also raised its debt-purchase budget to 2 billion baht, aiming for a portfolio near 600 billion baht.

    It shows analyst conviction and a concrete budget increase that signals management expects growth, both supporting the share price.

  • Weak first-half profit and lower Q2 weigh on sentiment JMT's Q2 2026 profit fell 5% from a year earlier and first-half profit dropped 15.7%, with collection flat and its JK AMC unit weaker. That is a real counterweight: the recovery story depends on the second half actually delivering.

    It provides the honest counterbalance — recent results are still soft, so the positive outlook is not yet proven.

RB Global Inc. (RBA)

Q3 2026

RBA raises guidance, expands buyback, but take-rate and organic-growth worries linger

  • Raised 2026 outlook and dividend RBA lifted its 2026 gross transaction value growth outlook to 9%-11% from 6%-9% and nudged up adjusted EBITDA guidance, helped by about $500 million of GTV from the BigIron acquisition. It also raised the quarterly dividend to $0.33 from $0.31. Higher expected sales and profit, plus more cash returned to shareholders, support the stock price.

    This is the core new fundamental event of the period and directly lifts earnings expectations and shareholder returns.

  • Buyback ceiling doubled to $1 billion RBA won TSX approval to expand its share repurchase program to up to US$1 billion, roughly 10% of its public float, from $500 million. Buying back more stock can lift earnings per share and signals management thinks the shares are undervalued, which tends to support the price.

    The expanded buyback is a major new capital-return event that can directly support the share price.

  • New mobile app with native bidding Ritchie Bros. launched a redesigned mobile app that lets buyers bid directly from search results and listings. Early testing showed buyers moved from search to watchlist at more than double the web rate, which could mean more bids and higher sales over time, a modest positive for future revenue.

    This is a new technology/product development that could improve conversion and future transaction volumes.

  • Take rate and organic growth concerns The service revenue take rate fell to 20.0% from 21.1%, and excluding acquisitions, total GTV growth drops to 7% from 11%. Adjusted EPS grew just 6%. Analysts pressed management on margins and integration, and the stock fell after the earnings call. These worries can cap gains even as headline results beat.

    This is the main counterweight: underlying growth and profitability are weaker than the headline numbers suggest.
