Asia Plus Securities highlighted that yields on the U.S. bond yield with maturities from one to ten years remain below the policy rate, with the benchmark 10-year yield recently at 1.51%. This signals expectations for a rate cut before year-end, a scenario generally seen as favorable for equities.

The brokerage firm points to opportunities in hire-purchase stocks such as MTC and TIDLOR, real estate developers such as AP and SPALI, as well as high-yield stocks like ADVANC and SCC.

 

Meanwhile, Kasikorn Securities (KS) maintains a positive outlook on SAWAD, citing its attractive valuation with a projected PBV25 at 0.9 times, -2 standard deviations from the mean. SAWAD’s share price has lagged its peers, but the analyst believes there is potential for outperformance, especially as a sentiment play tied to expectations of a policy rate cut. Additionally, SAWAD currently offers a dividend yield of around 7%.

Looking ahead, the company’s asset quality is expected to improve in 2026, following a cleanup of its motorcycle hire-purchase loan portfolio. Losses from repossessed vehicles are also forecast to decrease, supported by better second-hand vehicle prices and stricter credit underwriting processes.
