CSS expects to have 2015 revenue of Bt4.8bn and get a project in Myanmar on the boom in communication. Its current backlog is now Bt1.3bn. (Thun Hoon, 26/11/15)
Comment: With a backlog of only thb 1.3bn there’s no way it can justify its current valuation….but retail seems to believe otherwise, management obviously doesn’t give his continuous selling of stock

Comment: 80% of their business is exports, I don’t understand yet what makes them competitive but with LPG prices being subsidised maybe thats why overseas customers are willing to buy from them?
