ACE CODโed two solar projects with combined capacity of 13.29MW, lifting total capacity to 466.94MW from 47 CODโed projects. The company still has 44 projects under development with installed capacity of 281.41MW.
Comment: Iโm still impressed by the quality of their presentation decks, I just donโt care much for this sector.
Bangkok Commercial Asset Management Public Company Limited is Thailandโs largest distressed asset management firm, specializing in acquiring and restructuring non-performing loans (NPLs) and managing non-performing assets (NPAs) to support the financial system.
BAM will launch BAM Premium in 2Q, focusing on commercial NPA assets. The company expects 5,000โ6,000 items in the first phase and aims to reduce asset turnover from 7.8 years to 5 years. It maintains its FY cash collection target at THB17bn and is in talks for 3โ5 JV AMC deals, aiming to conclude at least one deal before the end of 3Q.
Comment: It would be a good time to pick up some houses that BAM is dumping into the market. Now with TISCO reporting loan growth for the first time in donkey quarters, perhaps the poop is starting to be unclogged.
Carabao Group Public Company Limited is a prominent global beverage company best known for its Carabao Dang energy drink. It operates integrated businesses ranging from beverage manufacturing and marketing to distribution and glass bottle production.
CBG plans to freeze energy drink prices for at least three months despite rising energy costs in order to support consumer purchasing power. Management is revamping procurement management and sales channels to better control costs and improve efficiency. At the same time, CBG is expanding its beverage portfolio and will begin distributing Tsingtao beer in Thailand starting in May.
Comment: Look at that, Tsingtao beer, and you want to bet against CBG?
Gulf Energy Development Public Company Limited is a major private energy producer in Thailand, managing a large portfolio of gas-fired and renewable power projects, and has expanded into digital infrastructure and telecommunications through strategic investments.
GULF confirmed that LNG imports are proceeding as normal, sourcing from multiple suppliers. The impact of price increases is limited as most costs are passed through under cost-plus structures. The company also announced four new bond issues totaling THB35bn, open for subscription from March 17โ19, driven by strong demand amid economic volatility and Middle East tensions.
Comment: Odd given that Qatar is their source. Someone clever needs to go through the cost-plus structure that GULF has with Thailand, weโre getting phucked as residents here and GULF is laughing all the way to the bank.
Jasmine Technology Solution Public Company Limited provides integrated information and communication technology (ICT) solutions and has aggressively pivoted into the digital asset sector, specifically through large-scale Bitcoin mining operations in Thailand.
JTS will sell treasury shares from its buyback program totaling 7.726mn shares (1.09% of paid-up capital) from Mar 23โ25, 2026.
Inter Royal Engineering Public Company Limited provides specialized engineering services and sources equipment for power plants and industrial systems, focusing on mission-critical components that enhance operational efficiency and sustainability.
IROYAL targets FY26 revenue growth of 20โ25% y/y, driven by EPC backlog from oil and gas projects, infrastructure inspection via drone monitoring, and contributions from power plant solutions. The company is also considering entering the anti-drone segment to capture growth from the defense industry.
Comment: Iโve never looked at this company before, added to my next things to do list

Comment: Buy airlines
