Pruksa's profit rebound meets weak demand and flood risk

First-half profit more than doubled Pruksa's first-half 2026 net profit jumped 120% to 197 million baht, with revenue up 9% and gross margin at 29.5%. Condo transfers rose 66% and the hospital business grew. Lower debt and a small interim dividend show the core business is steadier, which supports the shares.
This is the clearest new evidence that Pruksa's earnings are recovering, a direct positive for the stock.
Sector still weak; floods add pressure A Q2 review showed Pruksa among property firms with big profit declines, and TRIS later named it moderately sensitive to Bangkok floods. Flooding can delay construction and transfers and slow sales, while low-rise demand was already down 16% in the first half.
It is the main counterweight: weak demand and flood disruption could hold back the recovery the profit jump suggests.
Analyst sees better-than-expected cost control KGI kept a Hold rating on Pruksa but said it did better than expected on cost control and its growing hospital business. That matters because it shows the profit improvement is not just one-off, even as the wider property market stays sluggish with low margins.
It explains why analysts are not negative on Pruksa despite the weak sector, supporting the share price.
Zero-payment campaign to lift year-end sales Pruksa launched a 'Final Deal' campaign across 89 projects, offering 0 baht down, 0% interest and no installments for up to two years, plus discounts up to 6 million baht. It aims to pull in buyers in the year-end stretch, which could boost transfers and cash flow.
It is a fresh, company-specific push to revive demand, a direct potential positive for sales and the stock.

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.
