LH Securities noted in an analysis that profits in Q3/22 increased 15% QoQ and increased 8% YoY, due to a recovery of gross margin from a decline in some material costs for complicated products and the baht depreciation.
LH Securities expected the profit for Q4/22 would continue to increase from the lower material costs and more orders. KCE is preparing to build the new factory in Rojana Bowin Industrial Park, with the production capacity of 1 million square feet each month, which could help the KCE production capacity by 31% to support the long-term growth.
LH gave a “BUY” recommendation on KCE with a target price at THB 60 per share.
