As of 11:53 local time in Thailand, Regional Container Lines Public Company Limited (RCL) rose ฿4.25/share or 7.36% to ฿62.00/share with a trading value of 1,989 million baht.
Precious Shipping Public Company Limited (PSL) rose ฿1.10/share or 5.82% to ฿20.00/share with a trading value of 544 million baht.
Thoresen Thai Agencies Public Company Limited (TTA) rose ฿0.50/share or 2.82% to ฿18.20/share with a trading value of 663 million baht.
Phillip Securities maintained its “BUY” recommendation on TTA with a new target price of 19.40 baht per share, citing the expectation that the BSI Index will continue to rise in 2Q21, compared to 42% in the previous quarter and 330% in the same period last year. This was due to seasonality and the world economy’s recovery from the Covid-19 crisis, most notably in the United States, China, and Europe, as well as major fiscal stimulus measures.
Additionally, Phillip has revised up a target price for PSL from 16.10 baht per share following an increase in container freight rates.
