Noble's cash crunch drives deep discounts and new bonds

Q2 loss and revenue drop Noble posted a 418 million baht net loss in Q2 2026, with revenue down 32% from a year earlier. The loss came from lower rental income, a one-time writedown on inventory, and higher interest costs. This weakens the company's financial position and pressures the stock price.
This is the core negative event that explains why Noble is scrambling to raise cash and cut prices.
Bond refinancing and liquidity boost Noble is issuing 2-year 11-month bonds at 6.15% to repay maturing debt. The bonds are rated BBB- and sold to retail and institutional investors. This buys the company time and strengthens its cash position, which supports the stock by reducing near-term default worries.
Shows how Noble is managing its debt load, a key factor for a company with a recent loss.
Aggressive discount campaigns to clear inventory Noble launched two big campaigns: 'Noble is NOW' in September with discounts up to 12.9 million baht on low-rise homes, and 'A DEAL FAMILY' in October with up to 3 million baht off condos. These cut prices to generate cash quickly, which can lift sales but also squeezes profit margins.
These campaigns are Noble's main tool to turn inventory into cash, directly affecting revenue and margins.
Weak housing market and floods add pressure Tris Rating says Bangkok floods are worsening an already weak property market. Low-rise sales fell 16% in the first half of 2026. Noble is listed among developers with moderate sensitivity. Slower sales mean it takes longer to clear inventory and recognize cash, which weighs on the stock.
This external headwind explains why Noble's discounts may not fully solve its cash flow problem.

LH's weak core housing drags profit to 20-year low, but asset sales and new CEO offer recovery

Q2 profit collapses on weak housing demand LH's Q2 2026 net profit fell 61.8% to 525.67 million baht, the lowest in almost 20 years, as sales revenue dropped 41.1% on weak housing demand and high household debt. This weak core business is the main reason the share price has fallen to around 3.70 baht from 9.90 baht in 2022.
It is the single biggest negative force on LH's price and explains why the stock is near multi-year lows.
New CEO and asset sales point to recovery LH appointed Archawin Assavabhokhin as CEO from January 2027, which analysts see as positive for strategy and management. Recovery is expected from Q4 2026, driven by transfers of the One Bangkok Chao Phraya condominium (57% sold), the Grand Centre Point hotel opening, and asset sales in Thailand and the US.
It is the main positive catalyst that could reverse the earnings slump and support a share price re-rating.
TRIS affirms A rating and new 6bn baht bonds TRIS Rating affirmed LH at A with a Stable outlook and rated its new 6 billion baht bond issue at A. The proceeds will repay debt and fund working capital. TRIS expects revenue to recover to 23-26 billion baht per year and debt-to-equity to fall to 50-55%, easing financial risk.
It shows LH can still raise money cheaply and reduce debt, a key support for the share price while earnings are weak.
Index removals and earnings downgrades weigh on the stock LH is expected to be removed from the SET50 index with 99.99% confidence and from the FTSE Mid Cap group, which can force index-tracking funds to sell. Analysts also cut LH's September earnings estimate by 1%, reflecting the property sector's divergence from energy-led market gains.
These events create selling pressure and weaker sentiment, directly pushing the share price down in the near term.
