Rubber upcycle and tax breaks drive TEGH's Q3 outlook
India's tax removal boosts orders India scrapped its 20% import tax on compound rubber, sending orders beyond TEGH's production capacity. This new demand source supports higher sales and pricing power.
This is a new regulatory change that directly increases demand for TEGH's products.
US tariff exemptions and EUDR compliance aid exports US tariff exemptions and EUDR-compliant rubber (30–40% of H2 sales) help TEGH export more. EUDR means rubber meets EU deforestation rules, opening premium markets.
These trade and regulatory factors are new and support export growth.
Heavy rain cuts tapping but stockpiles and high prices lift earnings Heavy rain reduced rubber tapping, but TEGH's stockpiled raw materials and global prices up 48% year-on-year boost earnings. Analysts expect Q3 profit up 239%.
This explains the supply disruption and how TEGH still benefits from high prices.
First-half profit fell year-on-year Despite the upbeat second-half story, first-half profit fell to 246 million baht from 387 million a year earlier, and Q2 declined year-on-year. This is a real counterweight.
It provides the necessary balance, showing that the strong rebound is not yet reflected in actual results.
