Samart Telcoms Public Company Limited (SAMTEL.BK)

Q3 2026

SAMTEL wins new contracts, but bidding pace lags

  • New contract wins boost backlog SAMTEL's subsidiaries won three contracts worth a combined 1.2 billion baht: a 695-million-baht ERP system for the Government Lottery Office, a 363-million-baht backhaul network expansion for National Telecom, and a 146-million-baht cyber operations center for the Industrial Estate Authority. These wins add to SAMTEL's backlog and support future revenue.

    These are concrete new contract wins that directly increase SAMTEL's backlog and future revenue, a key driver of the stock.

  • Strong bidding pipeline for second half SAMTEL is pursuing new bids worth nearly 7 billion baht in the second half of 2026, aiming to lift its backlog from 16 billion baht to 20 billion baht by year-end. Large projects up for bidding include the Government Lottery Office, PEA meters, Airports of Thailand, and the Ministry of Interior.

    This shows the company's growth prospects and potential for future revenue, which can drive the stock price up.

  • Slower-than-expected bidding delays recovery SAMTEL's profit recovery is slower than planned because bidding progress has been slower than expected. This limits the company's performance recovery in 2026, even though its backlog remains high at 8 billion baht.

    This is a real counterweight: slower bidding delays profit recovery, which could hold back the stock price.

China Mobile H1 Profit Falls 6.3% on Weak Telecom Revenue

  • H1 profit drops 6.3% as telecom service revenue slides China Mobile's first-half net profit fell 6.3% to 78.93 billion yuan, with operating revenue down 1.1% and telecom services revenue down 5.7%. This is the core earnings miss that pressures the stock, as the main business shrinks and profit declines.

    This is the primary new fundamental event directly hitting 600941.CG's earnings and valuation.

  • Computing and international revenue grow strongly Computing services revenue rose 14% to 52.9 billion yuan and international market revenue jumped 30.1% to 18.2 billion yuan. These new growth areas show China Mobile is diversifying beyond traditional telecom, offering a partial offset to the profit decline.

    It highlights the bright spots that could support future earnings and investor sentiment.

  • Operating cash flow jumps 37% and dividend maintained Net operating cash flow rose 37% to 114.85 billion yuan, and the company plans to distribute 25.1 yuan per 10 shares. Strong cash generation and a steady dividend provide a safety net for investors, even as reported profit falls.

    Cash flow and dividend are key supports for the stock price amid earnings weakness.

  • TRUE stake sale fear weighs on sentiment China Mobile may sell up to 1% of its 7.81% stake in Thailand's TRUE, sparking a 3.6% drop in TRUE shares. While the sale is small and for portfolio management, it signals potential capital reallocation and adds minor uncertainty for China Mobile investors.

    It is a new capital action by China Mobile that could affect its investment income and market perception.
