SC's profit surge, new condo launches and cheap valuation drive the stock

Q2 profit jumped 59% on COBE condo transfers SC's second-quarter profit rose 59% from a year earlier and 455% from the prior quarter, as transfers at the COBE Ratchada-Rama 9 condo began. Higher condo margins lifted gross margin to 29.2%. First-half profit rose 48%, and an interim dividend of 0.06 baht per share was approved.
The earnings jump is the core fundamental event that re-rated the stock this period.
New condo projects sell fast, lifting presales SC's new riverside condo Reference BAIE River Bangpho drew over 2 billion baht in bookings in two days, and COBE Ratchada-Rama 9 transferred over half its units within two months. Third-quarter presales rose 22% from a year earlier to 5.4 billion baht, led by condos.
Strong end-customer demand for new launches is the main forward driver of future revenue and profit.
H2 plan: 22 projects worth 28.3 billion baht SC will launch or relaunch 22 projects worth 28.3 billion baht in the second half, including the 11-billion-baht Reference BAIE River Bangpho and a luxury Rama IV condo. It also plans about 8 billion baht of land purchases, with over three-quarters already secured, and is expanding warehouses and US rental apartments.
The launch pipeline and land investment show management's confidence in future growth, supporting the stock.
Cheap valuation and high dividend draw buyers Brokers kept buy ratings with target prices of 2.30 to 2.96 baht, well above the 1.95 baht price, citing a price-to-earnings ratio of only about 5 times and a dividend yield of 7-8%. SC was named a top pick for its interim dividend and for accumulating before the ex-dividend date.
Low valuation and high yield are the main reasons investors are buying the stock now.

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.
