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.

JLL's leasing and capital markets rebound drive strong results and new growth

Q2 earnings beat and raised guidance JLL reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $5.26, up 59% and beating estimates, with revenue up 11% to $6.93 billion. Leasing and capital markets revenues surged, and management raised full-year EPS guidance to $24.60–$25.90. This directly boosts investor confidence and the stock price.
This is the core financial result that shows JLL's business is accelerating and profitability is rising.
Hong Kong office rents rebound, signaling recovery JLL reported Hong Kong Grade A office rents jumped 7.3% in the first half of 2026, the strongest in 15 years, with vacancy falling. JLL expects prime rents to rise up to 5% this year, ending a long decline. This supports JLL's leasing and advisory fees in Asia.
It shows a major office market turning around, which drives more leasing activity and fee income for JLL.
Capital markets deals and new debt platform expand fee streams JLL completed a $435 million Boston office tower sale, arranged $406 million in Dallas financing, and launched a new nontraded REIT focused on commercial real estate debt. These moves show JLL's capital markets business is active and diversifying, generating fees from large transactions and new investment products.
These deals and the new REIT highlight JLL's ability to earn fees from institutional capital and debt, a key growth area.
Tech leasing surge in NYC boosts office demand Tech tenants leased 1.1 million square feet in New York in Q3, overtaking legal, with AI driving about 60% of that activity, according to a JLL report. Falling Manhattan supply and rising demand support leasing volumes and rents, benefiting JLL's brokerage business.
It shows a key demand driver—AI—fueling office leasing, which directly increases JLL's transaction fees.
