PCE's profit surge, capacity expansion, and biofuel tax cut plan drive growth

Record Q2 profit and strong H1 results PCE reported Q2 2026 net profit of 214.2 million baht, up 59.5% from a year earlier, on revenue of 7.06 billion baht. First-half profit rose 36% to 220.9 million baht. Higher sales of high-margin B100 biodiesel and refined palm oil, plus cost controls, lifted margins.
This is the core financial result that shows the company's earnings power and supports the stock's value.
Government biofuel tax cut plan could boost demand Thailand is considering cutting excise taxes on biofuels to lower fuel prices and increase consumption. DBS Vickers named PCE among 11 stocks set to benefit, specifically in the group of integrated palm oil producers linked to biodiesel. Lower taxes would make biodiesel cheaper, driving more demand for PCE's B100.
This is a new regulatory catalyst that could expand the market for PCE's key product.
Capacity expansion to meet rising demand PCE is expanding its edible palm oil refinery from 300 to 700 tonnes per day, due in Q4 2026, and building a third crude palm oil mill to raise fresh fruit processing from 150 to 225 tonnes per hour by Q2 2027. These moves aim to capture growing food-industry demand and reduce reliance on external purchases.
This shows concrete steps to grow production and sales volume, supporting future revenue.
B100 biodiesel orders remain strong, supporting H2 outlook PCE says B100 biodiesel orders are flowing in continuously, with sufficient raw materials to meet demand. The company expects Q3 margins to improve after a standout Q2, and Q4 is the high season. Management guides 2026 revenue growth of 10-15% and double-digit gross margin growth.
This provides forward-looking confidence that the strong performance will continue in the second half.

Rubber upcycle and tax breaks drive TEGH's Q3 outlook

India's tax removal boosts orders India scrapped its 20% import tax on compound rubber, sending orders beyond TEGH's production capacity. This new demand source supports higher sales and pricing power.
This is a new regulatory change that directly increases demand for TEGH's products.
US tariff exemptions and EUDR compliance aid exports US tariff exemptions and EUDR-compliant rubber (30–40% of H2 sales) help TEGH export more. EUDR means rubber meets EU deforestation rules, opening premium markets.
These trade and regulatory factors are new and support export growth.
Heavy rain cuts tapping but stockpiles and high prices lift earnings Heavy rain reduced rubber tapping, but TEGH's stockpiled raw materials and global prices up 48% year-on-year boost earnings. Analysts expect Q3 profit up 239%.
This explains the supply disruption and how TEGH still benefits from high prices.
First-half profit fell year-on-year Despite the upbeat second-half story, first-half profit fell to 246 million baht from 387 million a year earlier, and Q2 declined year-on-year. This is a real counterweight.
It provides the necessary balance, showing that the strong rebound is not yet reflected in actual results.

TEGH's profit recovery rests on India demand, EUDR rubber, and high prices

US tariff exemption keeps TEGH's rubber competitive TEGH's natural rubber products are on the US Section 301 Exempt List, so they avoid the new 12.5% tariff. Orders are recovering, especially EUDR block rubber, and a weaker baht makes exports cheaper. This removes a cost threat and supports sales and the share price.
A direct trade-policy shield that protects TEGH's US sales and pricing power.
India's tax exemption and EUDR orders drive a sharp Q3 rebound After India scrapped its 20% import tax on compound rubber, TEGH's orders jumped, and EUDR rubber orders resumed. Analysts expect Q3 profit to jump 239% from a year earlier, with sales volume up 25–35% and selling prices up about 27%. This is the main engine behind the profit recovery.
The biggest new demand catalyst that explains why profit is expected to rebound strongly.
Tight rubber supply and high prices lift earnings outlook Heavy rain and El Nino have cut rubber tapping, pushing global natural rubber prices up 9% in two weeks and 48% from a year ago. Higher prices directly boost TEGH's revenue and profit, and analysts see this strength lasting through the second half of 2026.
A supply-driven price surge that flows straight into TEGH's earnings.
Profit recovery is real, but first-half earnings fell short TEGH's reported Q2 2026 profit fell to 165 million baht from 211 million a year earlier, and first-half profit dropped to 246 million from 387 million. That miss is a real counterweight, even as brokers keep buy ratings and 4.00–4.40 baht targets on the expected second-half rebound.
Shows the actual reported weakness that balances the optimistic forward forecasts.

TEGH rides record rubber demand, profit surge, and export boom

Q2 profit doubles, 22bn baht revenue target TEGH's second-quarter net profit jumped 104% to 165 million baht, with rubber prices up nearly 30% from a year earlier. Management targets 2026 revenue of 22 billion baht, a record, and expects EUDR-compliant rubber to make up 30–40% of second-half sales. Stronger earnings and a clear growth plan support the share price.
This is the core earnings event that anchors the period's positive story.
India tax exemption drives orders beyond capacity India removed its 20% import tax on compound rubber, sending orders to TEGH that now exceed what it can produce. Brokers recommend buying with target prices of 4.00–4.40 baht, expecting 2026 profit up 5% and 2027 profit up 23%. The demand surge is a direct, powerful driver for the stock.
A new, concrete demand shock that explains why brokers turned bullish.
Raw material stockpile shields output from heavy rain TEGH began stockpiling raw rubber in August to keep production running through year-end despite heavy rain halting tapping in eastern and northeastern Thailand. EUDR orders keep flowing, expected above 30% of sales this year and 40–50% in 2027. This protects revenue and shows operational resilience.
A new supply-side risk that TEGH has actively managed, reassuring investors.
Thai exports boom, TEGH named a top pick Thailand's exports grew 20.8% in June and 24.3% in August, with rubber exports up 23.2% in August. Phillip Securities named TEGH among 17 standout stocks benefiting from the export surge. Broad export strength lifts demand for TEGH's rubber and supports its sales volume growth.
Macro export data directly boosts TEGH's main rubber business and validates its growth targets.
