Q3 2026

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.

Demand strength and policy support offset by ample global supply

  • Record crush and falling stocks A record June soybean crush and falling soy oil stocks signaled strong demand, supporting soybean oil futures prices.

    Highlights a key bullish demand factor that drove prices up.

  • Biofuel policy and India buying US biofuel policy support and India's increased buying after an import tax cut boosted demand for soybean oil, lifting futures.

    Shows policy and trade drivers that supported prices.

  • Ample global supply and crude slump Good US crop conditions, large South American and Canadian crops, and a crude oil slump hurt biodiesel economics, capping soybean oil gains.

    Identifies major bearish supply and energy factors that limited price increases.

  • Speculative volatility Speculative positioning amplified volatility, as traders reacted to shifting demand and supply news, causing sharp price swings.

    Explains how market sentiment added to price fluctuations.

Biofuel Policy and India Demand Lift Soy Oil; Bigger Crops Weigh

  • US biofuel policy boost The Trump administration granted 1.76 billion small-refinery biofuel waivers, the most since 2017, but promised to add the lost volumes back into 2026-2027 requirements. That keeps future demand for soybean oil as a biofuel feedstock alive, and prices jumped over 2% on the news.

    This is the single biggest new force pushing soy oil prices up this period.

  • India buys more, then cuts import tax India's July vegetable oil imports hit a 10-month high, with soybean oil imports up 32% to a seven-month high. In late September India cut the effective import duty on crude soybean oil from 16.5% to 11%, which should keep its festival-season buying strong and support global soy oil prices.

    India is the world's largest vegetable oil buyer, so its demand directly lifts soy oil prices.

  • Vegetable oil prices at multi-year highs The UN food price index hit a three-and-a-half-year high in July, with vegetable oils up 2% to their highest since June 2022. Higher crude oil prices from Middle East tensions and Black Sea grain disruptions pushed palm and soy oil prices up together.

    It shows the broad global vegetable oil market is rising, which pulls soy oil along.

  • Large US and South American crops Favorable US weather and early crop progress pointed to a big soybean harvest, with StoneX projecting 4.47 billion bushels. Brazil's crop estimates were raised repeatedly, and Canada's canola stocks rose 19%. More supply of oilseeds means more soy oil, which weighs on prices.

    It is the main counterweight keeping soy oil prices from rising even more.

Soy oil swings on crush, exports, weather, crude

  • June crush beats expectations, soy oil stocks drop NOPA reported a record-large June soybean crush of 214.34 million bushels, well above trade estimates. Soy oil stocks fell to 1.5 billion pounds, below expectations and down 13.5% from May. Tighter oil supplies support higher soy oil prices.

    This is the clearest new supply-side force tightening soy oil availability and lifting prices.

  • Strong soybean export demand lifts the whole complex USDA reported private soybean sales to China and unknown buyers, and forward 2026/27 bookings hit 1.537 million metric tons, nearly triple last year. Rabobank cut Brazil's crop estimate. Strong bean demand pulls soy oil up with it.

    Export demand is a major new demand-side driver pulling soy oil higher alongside soybeans.

  • Weather and crude oil slump trigger sharp selloff Soybeans and soy oil tumbled as US crop conditions stayed mostly good and crude oil plunged over $7, making soy oil-based biodiesel less competitive. Speculative funds had built a large bullish position, amplifying the drop.

    This is the main new counterweight, showing weather and energy markets can quickly reverse soy oil gains.

  • China to auction imported soybeans, adding supply China's state-owned Sinograin will auction 504,000 metric tons of imported soybeans on Friday. This could ease Chinese demand for fresh US soybeans and soy oil, weighing on prices.

    A new potential demand headwind from China, the top soybean buyer, that could pressure soy oil.
