QTC's order book, profit recovery and policy tailwinds drive growth outlook

Orders fully booked through 2026, expansion into Japan and Europe QTC's transformer orders are fully booked through end-2026, with rising demand from Japan, Europe and data centres. This gives revenue visibility and supports the 2 billion baht target, about 20% growth, pushing the stock up on confidence in future earnings.
This is a new, concrete demand signal that directly supports QTC's revenue growth and investor confidence.
Bidding for 300-400 million baht projects, PDP 2026 to boost demand QTC is bidding for new projects worth 300-400 million baht and sees the draft PDP 2026, targeting 70% clean energy, as a major demand driver. More grid investment means more transformer orders, supporting the revenue target and lifting the stock.
New project bids and a favorable long-term energy plan add to QTC's growth pipeline, a fresh positive catalyst.
Q2 profit recovery and data centre demand for second half QTC reported Q2 2026 net profit of 62 million baht on revenue of 748 million baht, up 75% year-on-year. Management expects a stronger second half from data centres needing over 1,000 MW and EV charging stations, boosting earnings and the share price.
This is the first earnings report showing a sharp recovery, a new fundamental positive for the stock.
Solar rooftop policy and new project bids support transformer demand Government support for residential solar rooftops and power buyback is expected to increase transformer demand. QTC is bidding for more utility projects, with a near 1 billion baht backlog, and says copper price surge is hedged, so costs are stable. This supports the 2026 revenue target.
New policy tailwind and bidding activity reinforce demand outlook, while copper hedging removes a cost concern.

Prysmian buys Atkore, wins Amazon data-center cable deal

Prysmian to buy Atkore for $3.8bn Prysmian agreed to buy US cable maker Atkore for $3.8 billion in cash, a 30% premium. It expands Prysmian's North American electrification and data-centre business, letting it sell more products to the same customers. Bigger scale and cross-selling can lift future earnings, though the cash outlay and debt taken on are the cost.
The acquisition is the period's biggest company-specific event and directly changes Prysmian's growth outlook.
Amazon Ohio data-centre cable supply deal Prysmian will make low-carbon aluminium cables for an Amazon data centre in Ohio, using Rio Tinto metal, at its Sedalia plant. It shows Prysmian winning work in the fast-growing data-centre power market and supports its green-revenue goal. No contract value was given and the technology is early-stage, so near-term earnings impact is limited.
It is a fresh, concrete win in Prysmian's key growth market of data-centre electrification.
AI infrastructure demand keeps Prysmian in favour Investors are rewarding companies that supply the AI build-out, and Prysmian was named among outperformers on strong AI-enabling demand. Data centres and power grids need huge amounts of cable, so this trend supports Prysmian's orders and pricing. It is a broad market tailwind rather than a company announcement.
It explains the sector-wide demand force behind Prysmian's share-price support this period.
Lawyer probe into Atkore deal fairness A shareholder-rights law firm is investigating whether Atkore's $95-per-share sale to Prysmian is fair to Atkore holders. Such probes are common and rarely block deals, but they can delay closing or push for better terms. For Prysmian the risk is mainly timing and cost, not a change to its strategy.
It is the main counterweight to the acquisition news and could affect deal completion.
