According to Finansia Syrus Securities (FSS), the rise in MINT, CENTEL, and SHR share prices was linked to Thailand entering peak tourism season and the baht remaining weak. The baht was recently traded against the dollar at THB38.00. This leads in the influx of foreign tourists to Thailand.
FSS has set a target price for MINT at THB43.00, CENTEL at THB54.00 and SHR at THB5.00.
