KUN's strong H1 growth and fully subscribed bond offset by weak property demand

Strong H1 revenue growth and improved financials KUN's first-half 2026 revenue rose 40% to 278 million baht, gross profit jumped 68%, and net profit turned positive. Debt and finance costs fell sharply. This shows the company is selling homes and cleaning up its balance sheet, which supports the stock price.
This is the core positive fundamental driver of KUN's value.
High-yield bond fully subscribed, funding growth KUN raised money by issuing 7.40% secured bonds, which were fully taken up by investors. The cash will fund new projects like Navara Rama 2 and repay debt. This eases financial pressure and gives KUN money to grow, a positive for the stock.
Shows access to capital and funding for future projects.
New projects target senior living and large housing KUN is launching Charasaran, a project for elderly people, and the massive Navara Rangsit housing project with over 1,100 homes. These new offerings aim to drive future revenue and create a new long-term business line, which could lift the stock if sales go well.
New projects are a key growth catalyst for future earnings.
Weak housing market and floods pressure demand Thailand's low-rise housing sales fell 16% in the first half, and Bangkok floods are making it worse. KUN is named as more sensitive because of its project locations and liquidity. This could slow home sales and transfers, hurting future revenue and the stock price.
This is the main risk that could offset KUN's positive momentum.

AP's profit recovery, strong presales and cheap valuation drive gains

Profit recovery confirmed AP's first-half profit rose 5% to 1.97 billion baht, and Q2 profit beat estimates, with gross margin improving to 30.9%. Brokers expect second-half profit to jump 35% as high-value condos start transferring. This directly lifts earnings and supports the share price.
Shows the core earnings recovery that underpins the stock's rise.
Strong presales and new launches AP launched several new projects, including LIFE Sukhumvit-Rama 4 (4.5 billion baht), GOOD DAY More Bangmod, and ASPIRE Sathorn-Taksin Privé. Its July-August presales were the strongest in the sector at 9.2 billion baht, showing healthy demand for its products.
New launches and top presales signal future revenue growth.
Cheap valuation and high dividend yield AP trades at only 5.4-5.7 times 2026 earnings and offers a dividend yield above 6.8%. Multiple brokers maintain Buy ratings with target prices of 9.45-10.60 baht, seeing upside of over 20%. This attracts income and value investors.
Low valuation and high yield make the stock appealing, supporting demand.
Sector headwinds and flood risk The property sector still faces high household debt, loan rejections above 50%, and recent Bangkok floods that could delay transfers. However, AP is seen as resilient due to product and location diversification, and proposed looser lending rules could help.
Balances the positive drivers with real risks that could cap gains.
