Singer swings to profit, brokers turn bullish on Lock Phone growth

Q2 profit turnaround Singer swung to a Q2 2026 net profit of 149 million baht, up over 1,000% from a year earlier, as sales, interest income, and Lock Phone loans all grew.
This is the key new financial result that drove positive sentiment.
Broker upgrades and price targets Phillip Securities set a 14 baht target and Yuanta a 13.70 baht Buy, forecasting 516% profit growth for 2026, which lifted investor expectations for the stock.
Analyst upgrades directly influence price by shaping market expectations.
New S-PRO appliances and balance-sheet cleanup Singer launched S-PRO appliances targeting 1.7 billion baht revenue with 40% margins, and cleaned up its balance sheet by removing 1.44 billion baht in accumulated losses, unlocking future dividends.
These strategic moves improve growth prospects and shareholder returns.
Optimism tempered by credit and regulatory risks Much of the bullish case rests on aggressive Lock Phone disbursement assumptions; high-yield lending carries credit and regulatory risk, and provisioning could rise if borrowers default, while the turnaround depends on sustained domestic demand and stimulus.
This counterweight balances the positive drivers and highlights key risks.

SINGER's turnaround accelerates: Lock Phone, new products, balance-sheet cleanup

New S-PRO appliances and 1.7 billion baht revenue target SINGER launched its S-PRO appliance series, solar roofs and new sewing machines, targeting 1.7 billion baht revenue this year and 146 branches. New products with lockable installment loans should add over 200 million baht in sales and lift margins toward 40%.
The new product line and revenue target are the main new growth catalyst this period.
Balance-sheet cleanup clears path for dividends Shareholders approved transferring reserves and share premium to wipe out 1.44 billion baht of accumulated losses. This removes a legal barrier, so SINGER and its SGC subsidiary can pay dividends again once profitable, making the stock more attractive to income investors.
The approved loss clearance is a concrete capital event that unlocks future dividends.
Analyst upgrades and domestic stimulus support Yuanta rates SINGER a Buy with a 13.70 baht target, forecasting 516% profit growth in 2026, and names it a top pick for strong Q3 results. Below-expectation September inflation also eases cost pressure on domestic stocks like SINGER.
Broker upgrades and macro data reinforce the positive earnings outlook and investor sentiment.

SINGER swings to profit, brokers raise targets on Lock Phone growth

Q2 profit surge and broker upgrade SINGER reported Q2 2026 net profit of 149 million baht, up 1,095% from a year earlier, driven by higher sales and interest income. Phillip Securities raised its target to 14 baht with a buy rating, citing lower provisioning and strong Lock Phone loan growth. This directly boosts investor confidence and the stock price.
This is the core earnings event that triggered the period's positive momentum.
JMART group synergy and Lock Phone expansion JMART's strong Q2 results and plans to expand Lock Phone lending across its ecosystem, including SINGER, highlight SINGER's role in a growing high-yield loan business. SINGER is also preparing new lock appliance products for September, which should support future revenue and profit.
Shows SINGER benefits from group strategy and new product launches, driving future growth expectations.
Yuanta Buy rating and raised forecasts Yuanta rated SINGER a Buy with a 13.70 baht target, raising 2026/27 profit forecasts by 6.8%/4.9% on strong Q3 outlook. It expects 2026 net profit to surge 516% YoY, driven by accelerating product sales and Lock Phone disbursements, and sees the recent share price dip as a buying opportunity.
This is a fresh analyst upgrade that reinforces the positive earnings trajectory and addresses recent price weakness.
Portfolio restructuring and dividend potential SINGER-SGC is clearing accumulated losses to unlock future dividends after SGC's eight consecutive profitable quarters. The sale of the vehicle registration pledge loan portfolio in Q4 2026 will shift focus to higher-yielding Lock Phone loans, improving profitability and reducing regulatory risk.
This structural change improves capital returns and reduces risk, supporting long-term valuation.

Sally Beauty's profit gains and cost cuts offset weak sales

Q3 profit and EPS beat, guidance raised Sally Beauty's fiscal third-quarter profit rose to $54.08 million, or $0.55 per share, up from $0.44 a year earlier, beating estimates. Revenue edged up 0.2% to $935.5 million. The company raised the low end of its full-year EPS guidance to $2.04–$2.08. This supports the stock by showing improving profitability.
This is the core new earnings event that directly drives SBH's valuation and investor sentiment.
Fuel for Growth cost savings boost margins The Fuel for Growth program delivered $9 million in pretax benefits in Q3, lifting gross margin by 40 basis points to 52.4%. Management expects about $45 million in fiscal 2026 savings, with cumulative run-rate savings near $120 million. Cost cuts help profits even when sales are flat, supporting the stock.
This explains a key driver of margin expansion and future earnings power, which investors care about.
Weak sales and BSG segment decline Total revenue rose only 0.2% and comparable sales were flat. The Beauty Systems Group segment saw sales fall 2.4% due to softness in the Care category. This drags on the stock because it shows the company is not growing its core business, even as profits improve.
This is the main counterweight: weak demand limits upside and explains why shares fell after the earnings beat.
New products and digital growth support outlook E-commerce sales rose 11% to $110 million, and management highlighted strength in color products. New categories like fragrances and men's products are expected to help win market share. This gives investors confidence in future growth, pushing the stock up.
This points to future revenue drivers that can offset current weak sales and support the stock.
