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.

TEGH's profit recovery rests on India demand, EUDR rubber, and high prices

US tariff exemption keeps TEGH's rubber competitive TEGH's natural rubber products are on the US Section 301 Exempt List, so they avoid the new 12.5% tariff. Orders are recovering, especially EUDR block rubber, and a weaker baht makes exports cheaper. This removes a cost threat and supports sales and the share price.
A direct trade-policy shield that protects TEGH's US sales and pricing power.
India's tax exemption and EUDR orders drive a sharp Q3 rebound After India scrapped its 20% import tax on compound rubber, TEGH's orders jumped, and EUDR rubber orders resumed. Analysts expect Q3 profit to jump 239% from a year earlier, with sales volume up 25–35% and selling prices up about 27%. This is the main engine behind the profit recovery.
The biggest new demand catalyst that explains why profit is expected to rebound strongly.
Tight rubber supply and high prices lift earnings outlook Heavy rain and El Nino have cut rubber tapping, pushing global natural rubber prices up 9% in two weeks and 48% from a year ago. Higher prices directly boost TEGH's revenue and profit, and analysts see this strength lasting through the second half of 2026.
A supply-driven price surge that flows straight into TEGH's earnings.
Profit recovery is real, but first-half earnings fell short TEGH's reported Q2 2026 profit fell to 165 million baht from 211 million a year earlier, and first-half profit dropped to 246 million from 387 million. That miss is a real counterweight, even as brokers keep buy ratings and 4.00–4.40 baht targets on the expected second-half rebound.
Shows the actual reported weakness that balances the optimistic forward forecasts.

TEGH rides record rubber demand, profit surge, and export boom

Q2 profit doubles, 22bn baht revenue target TEGH's second-quarter net profit jumped 104% to 165 million baht, with rubber prices up nearly 30% from a year earlier. Management targets 2026 revenue of 22 billion baht, a record, and expects EUDR-compliant rubber to make up 30–40% of second-half sales. Stronger earnings and a clear growth plan support the share price.
This is the core earnings event that anchors the period's positive story.
India tax exemption drives orders beyond capacity India removed its 20% import tax on compound rubber, sending orders to TEGH that now exceed what it can produce. Brokers recommend buying with target prices of 4.00–4.40 baht, expecting 2026 profit up 5% and 2027 profit up 23%. The demand surge is a direct, powerful driver for the stock.
A new, concrete demand shock that explains why brokers turned bullish.
Raw material stockpile shields output from heavy rain TEGH began stockpiling raw rubber in August to keep production running through year-end despite heavy rain halting tapping in eastern and northeastern Thailand. EUDR orders keep flowing, expected above 30% of sales this year and 40–50% in 2027. This protects revenue and shows operational resilience.
A new supply-side risk that TEGH has actively managed, reassuring investors.
Thai exports boom, TEGH named a top pick Thailand's exports grew 20.8% in June and 24.3% in August, with rubber exports up 23.2% in August. Phillip Securities named TEGH among 17 standout stocks benefiting from the export surge. Broad export strength lifts demand for TEGH's rubber and supports its sales volume growth.
Macro export data directly boosts TEGH's main rubber business and validates its growth targets.

Sherwin-Williams Co (SHW)

Q3 202626 Jul – 14 Sep 2026

Sherwin-Williams beats Q2, raises guidance, but valuation and risks temper outlook

Strong Q2 earnings and raised guidance Sherwin-Williams reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $3.70, beating estimates, on revenue of $6.79 billion, up 7.5%. The company raised full-year guidance to near $12 EPS, sending the stock up 7.5–8.3%.
This is the main positive event that drove the stock during the period.
Growth from new accounts and share gains Growth came from new account wins and market share gains, especially in Protective & Marine coatings for data centers and semiconductors. An 8% September price hike also helped offset raw material inflation.
These operational successes contributed to revenue growth and margin protection.
Cost savings and new product launch Store closures are saving about $17 million annually, and the company launched a new eco-friendly Krylon spray paint, which could support future sales and efficiency.
These actions improve profitability and product offerings.
Risks temper outlook despite analyst fair value Higher prices could dampen demand, housing softness and supply-chain issues (including the Strait of Hormuz closure) may pressure margins, and the stock trades at ~30x earnings, above industry averages, leaving a mixed valuation picture despite analyst fair value of $372.95.
These risks could limit upside and are important counterweights to the positive drivers.

Earnings Beat, Raised Guidance, and Price Hikes Drive Sherwin-Williams

Strong Q2 Earnings and Raised Guidance Sherwin-Williams beat second-quarter estimates with adjusted earnings of $3.70 per share and revenue up 7.5% to $6.79 billion. The company raised full-year profit guidance, signaling confidence. This positive news pushed the stock up 7.5% and supports higher prices ahead.
This is the core positive fundamental driver that directly lifted the stock and improved future outlook.
8% Price Increase to Offset Costs Sherwin-Williams is raising prices by 8% starting September 1 to counter higher raw material costs from the Strait of Hormuz closure. This protects profit margins and shows pricing power. The stock rose over 8% after the announcement, though higher prices could eventually dampen demand.
This explains a key margin-protection move and its immediate positive market reaction.
New Water-Based Spray Paint Launch Krylon, a Sherwin-Williams brand, launched Harmony, a water-based spray paint that reduces odor and flammability. This expands the product line into eco-friendly and user-friendly options, potentially boosting sales in DIY and professional markets. Success depends on retailer adoption and repeat purchases.
This product innovation could drive future revenue growth and shows the company's focus on meeting consumer trends.
Dividend and Valuation Concerns Sherwin-Williams declared a $0.80 quarterly dividend, but the stock trades at about 30 times earnings, above industry average. Analysts see fair value at $372.95, implying undervaluation, yet risks like softer housing demand and supply chain issues could pressure margins. This creates a mixed outlook for investors.
This highlights the balance between income and valuation risks that investors should weigh.

Sherwin-Williams beats, raises guidance, and announces 8% price hike

Earnings beat and raised full-year guidance Sherwin-Williams reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $3.70 per share on $6.79 billion in revenue, beating estimates, and raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to a midpoint of $12. The stock jumped 7.5-8.3% as investors welcomed the strong results and outlook.
This is the core new event that directly drove the stock's sharp move this period.
8% price hike to offset raw material inflation The company announced an 8% price increase effective September 1 to counter accelerating raw material inflation, which is expected to reach high single digits in the second half. This supports margins and profitability, a key reason for the stock's rise.
The price hike is a new, specific action that helps explain why the company can maintain profits despite cost pressures.
Market share gains and new account wins Sherwin-Williams attributed its strong growth to aggressive new account wins and share gains, not a broad demand recovery. Its Paint Stores Group saw momentum in Protective and Marine, especially in data centers and semiconductor infrastructure, which boosts revenue and investor confidence.
This shows the company is growing even without a market recovery, a key driver of the raised guidance.
Store optimization and cost savings The company closed 57 underperforming stores and expects restructuring to yield about $17 million in annual savings, with half realized in 2026. It also plans to return to the high end of its 80-100 net new store opening target in 2027, supporting long-term profitability.
These actions improve efficiency and future growth prospects, contributing to the positive outlook.
