Sena pushes rent-to-own and green units as weak housing demand drags

Rent-to-own and rental push opens new buyers Sena is betting on rent-to-own LivNex and RentNex Invest (buy-to-let with tenants and a 3-year rent guarantee) plus a 40-project expo booth, aiming at people who cannot yet get a mortgage. If it works, it adds sales the old model could not reach.
This is the period's main new strategy to create demand despite weak purchasing power.
Cheap funding and partner deals keep projects moving Sena's joint venture with Hankyu Hanshin secured a 1,677 million baht SMBC loan for three low-carbon COZI condos, and Sena tied up with KTC and Krungthai Bank for 0% installments and special mortgage rates on 11 projects. Cheaper money and easier payments support sales and construction.
Shows outside lenders still fund Sena and buyers get cost relief, both supporting revenue.
New launches and backlog point to a stronger fourth quarter Sena launched SENA KITH Samrong Interchange (490 units from 1.39 million baht) and hired TPD Property to sell FLEXI Mega Space Bangna abroad. Management expects a better fourth quarter on a roughly 10-billion-baht backlog and eight planned launches, with EV sales up 455% and solar up 63%.
Concrete new supply plus a large backlog are the clearest supports for future revenue.
Weak housing demand and floods slow transfers Tris Rating says Bangkok flooding adds to an already weak market, with low-rise net sales down 16% in the first half. Sena is rated only moderately sensitive, but slower sales and transfers stretch out inventory clearance and delay cash coming in.
This is the real counterweight: the industry backdrop that can offset Sena's own efforts.

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.
