SSP Q3 profit boosted by Japan solar, Yamaga sale, pipeline

  • Strong Q3 profit outlook SSP expects normalised profit of 120–140 million baht in Q3 2026, helped by Japan's solar high season and the Leo 2 project, signalling a clear earnings rebound.

    This is the main new positive driver for the quarter.

  • Yamaga solar sale gain A 300–500 million baht gain from selling the Yamaga solar project will boost Q3 results, providing a one-time cash boost and showing progress in portfolio management.

    This is a new, material event that lifts quarterly earnings.

    The new national power plan is the main long-term demand driver for SSP's growth.

  • Yuanta keeps Buy, raises target to 14.10 baht Yuanta maintained its Buy rating and lifted SSP's target price to 14.10 baht, citing PDP 2026 growth, higher 2027 earnings, and a stronger balance sheet after Yamaga. It also noted plans to sell three more Japanese projects for about 2 billion baht, which would fund further expansion.

    A fresh analyst upgrade with a higher target directly supports investor confidence and the share price.

  • Government backs rooftop solar with 50 billion baht fund Thailand's prime minister announced a 50 billion baht fund from mid-October to help households install rooftop solar, alongside a clean-energy push. This policy support could expand the solar market and benefit SSP's project pipeline and engineering business over time.

    New government money for solar adds a policy tailwind that can lift future demand for SSP's projects.
