SYNEX rides AI, Apple and solar demand to lift 2026 outlook

This is the first report of strong earnings and dividend, a key positive catalyst for the stock.
Solar subsidy to boost demand The Finance Ministry plans to subsidize 50,000 baht per household for solar rooftop installations. Analysts see this benefiting SYNEX, which sells solar and energy solutions, potentially driving more sales and profit growth.
New government policy directly linked to SYNEX's energy business, a fresh demand driver.
New growth engines: AI, cloud, energy, DaaS SYNEX is expanding into AI infrastructure, cloud, energy, and device-as-a-service, with solar sales up 913% and inverters up 1,751% in the first half.

SAMART wins new contracts and rides Thailand's smart-grid spending wave

New contract wins and 20bn baht backlog target SAMART expects to sign over 10 billion baht of new contracts in the second half, lifting its order book from 14 billion to a 20 billion baht target. It also won a 1.1 billion baht substation job. More signed work means more future revenue, which supports the share price.
This is the core new business driver showing concrete contract wins and a rising backlog.
Smart-grid and smart-meter spending pipeline SAMART is already doing about 4 billion baht of PEA smart-meter and battery work, and the government plans a 10-20 billion baht smart-grid pilot. Analysts name SAMART as a likely system integrator. This opens a large, multi-year source of government and utility orders.
It shows a new, large government spending program that directly benefits SAMART's businesses.
Analyst and macro support Yuanta named SAMART a standout stock, and Q2 GDP beat forecasts at 1.9%, with lower inflation easing rate pressure. Bualuang also flagged SAMART in the smart-grid theme. This improves investor sentiment and makes future orders more likely.
It explains the supportive market backdrop and analyst attention that help the stock.
Execution and timing risk The big contract wins and smart-grid budget are still pending or in early stages. If bids fail or government spending is delayed, the backlog target may slip. This is a real counterweight to the positive news.
It gives a fair picture by noting the main risk that could hold the stock back.
