Summary · why it matters

AH reported total revenue up 1.7% year on year, even as revenue from its automotive parts business fell 4.7% on the slowdown in Thai vehicle production and competition in China. That was offset by its dealership business, which grew 16.8%, along with growth at its Portugal and Malaysia production bases. As a result, gross profit rose 17.4% and gross profit margin improved from 7.4% to 8.5%. Net profit rose to 195 million baht from 108 million baht a year earlier, a gain of 81% year on year, driven by better margins, a higher share of profit from joint ventures, and lower financial costs. For the first half of 2026, net profit stood at 510 million baht, up 23% year on year, even though revenue fell 2.2%, reflecting that this earnings recovery is driven more by margin than by revenue growth. The company expects 2026 revenue to be close to the prior year, while the third quarter of 2026 may slow slightly quarter on quarter because of roughly three weeks of holidays at its Portugal plant, before support kicks in from new parts that begin mass production in the second half of 2026. For 2027, growth drivers become clearer, led by a new axle expected to generate about 200 million baht in revenue, along with new orders and new products in Malaysia. Its joint venture in the United States is building a plant and is expected to start production late in 2028, with revenue becoming clear in 2029. The balance sheet can still support investment, with more than 2.5 billion baht in cash and net interest-bearing debt to equity of just 0.3 times. The Federation of Thai Industries has cut its target for Thai vehicle production in 2026 to 1.45 million units, while in the first half of 2026 production fell 1% year on year and exports fell 8.3%, though domestic sales rose 14.6% on strong growth in battery electric and hybrid vehicles. AH's overseas revenue has risen from just 21% in 2012 to about 50% in the first half of 2026. On valuation, the stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 6.1 times, close to its five-year average at minus 0.5 standard deviations, while the price still lags the market by about 7.2% year to date, with an expected dividend yield of about 5.5% to 6% a year. Technically, the price has rebounded from support at the 100-day exponential moving average of 14.70 and is holding firmly above 15.00, forming a short-term double bottom, with a chance to hold above neckline resistance at 15.70 to 15.90. The next resistance is 16.80, with support at 15.00 and 14.70.

onsemi Unveils Embedded Power Platform, Plans 2026 Sampling

onsemi unveiled its Embedded Power Platform, a wafer-level power solution that integrates silicon, silicon carbide and gallium nitride dies to deliver higher power density and system-level co-optimization for AI infrastructure and electrified vehicles, with sampling planned to begin in 2026. The company also announced a technology engagement giving Subaru early access to the platform, a move that highlights how closer co-design around compact, efficient power electronics could influence future electrified vehicle architectures and development timelines. The platform fits onsemi's push to move more of its portfolio into higher-margin, system-level power solutions, coming after Q2 2026 results showed a return to profitability following a large one-off loss, with management guiding Q3 revenue to US$1,650 million to US$1,750 million. The company's narrative projects $9.0 billion in revenue and $2.5 billion in earnings by 2029, requiring 13.0% yearly revenue growth and about a $1.9 billion earnings increase from $630.2 million today. Near-term risks remain, including underutilized fabs and dependence on a still cyclical auto market.

UBS Names 10 Industrial Stocks With Up to 62% Upside

UBS has highlighted 10 industrial companies it sees as positioned for a broader capital-spending cycle, with manufacturing, transportation, defense and construction among the areas expected to gain from improving investment conditions. The list includes Lockheed Martin, United Airlines, C.H. Robinson Worldwide, BorgWarner, UL Solutions, Solstice Advanced Materials, Eaton, Advanced Drainage Systems, United Rentals and Packaging Corp. of America, according to a Wednesday report. UBS said the industrial sector is emerging from a prolonged manufacturing downturn, while inventory trends and short-cycle indicators have improved, and it pointed to stronger operating cash flow outside technology as a source of resources for investment. Among the individual companies, UBS assigned price targets ranging from $80 for Solstice Advanced Materials to $1,350 for United Rentals, with Advanced Drainage Systems carrying the largest implied upside at 62%, based on Sept. 11 closing prices. The bank cited potential catalysts including defense demand, airline earnings, freight productivity, electrification, construction activity and packaging pricing, while higher interest rates and weaker economic growth remain risks to the broader industrial outlook.

Subaru to Evaluate onsemi Embedded Power Platform for Future EVs

Subaru Corporation has entered a strategic technology engagement with onsemi to evaluate onsemi's Embedded Power Platform, or EPP, for future electrified vehicles. Under the engagement, announced by onsemi on Sept. 16, 2026, Subaru gains early access to EPP technology, engineering samples, simulation models and technical expertise as it explores next-generation power architectures. EPP embeds multiple semiconductor devices directly into a silicon-based wafer-level package, and onsemi says the platform could support smaller, lighter and more efficient traction inverter systems while reducing development complexity and accelerating time to market. Tamotsu Inui, Managing Executive Officer and Chief General Manager of Engineering Div at Subaru, said the early engagement gives Subaru a chance to evaluate EPP's integrated approach to power system design, and Dinesh Ramanathan, Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy at onsemi, said Subaru's engagement brings valuable customer insight to EPP's continued evolution. The initial phase focuses on early engineering evaluation and technical learning, building on a longstanding relationship between the two companies.
