Capital Nomura Securities said the share prices of retail and construction materials stocks fell on Monday due to the flood situation in many central areas and northeastern areas of Thailand. The buying power is slowing down in the short term, including damage to some branches.
Capital Nomura Securities recommends waiting for the situation to pass by looking at HMPRO and ILM in speculation that the profit in 3Q22 should be growing.
