Electronics Stocks HANA DELTA KCE CCET Surge on Trump's AI Force Initiative

Summary · why it matters

Electronics sector stocks rose after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to establish an AI Force and appoint a new AI Czar to oversee and support U.S. AI development, reaffirming a pro-growth approach under which the government will not issue rules that obstruct industry growth and will use existing criminal and civil laws to handle cases of AI misuse. Trump views AI as the Next Industrial Revolution and estimates it could eventually reach as much as 25% of the U.S. economy. As of 10:07 a.m., HANA gained 4.19%, up 2.00 baht to 49.75 baht, with trading value of 391.47 million baht. DELTA gained 2.07%, up 5.00 baht to 246.00 baht, with trading value of 1.1237 billion baht. CCET gained 1.69%, up 0.15 baht to 9.00 baht, with trading value of 66.44 million baht. KCE gained 1.15%, up 0.75 baht to 65.75 baht, with trading value of 140.37 million baht. And SMT gained 0.88%, up 0.05 baht to 5.75 baht, with trading value of 10.60 million baht. Krungsri Securities said it holds a positive view on the AI Investment Cycle because it reflects a U.S. policy direction still focused on accelerating AI innovation and infrastructure investment rather than increasing regulatory burden, consistent with earlier policies that accelerated AI adoption, cybersecurity, and high-security computing infrastructure. The positive sentiment extends to the global AI supply chain and connects to Thai stocks in the DELTA, HANA, KCE, and CCET theme, as well as GULF/GPSC and the data center infrastructure group. For DELTA, the recommendation is Buy with a 2027 target price of 320 baht, after it passed the hedging period for bondholder status, combined with an AI CAPEX picture driving demand for AI-related products, supporting a rapid recovery in normal third-quarter 2026 profit, up 33% year on year and up 54% quarter on quarter, and set to reach a quarterly peak in the fourth quarter of 2026 forecast. Profit for 2027-2028 is expected to accelerate by 51.4% and 37.7%, with upside potential, while the stock has corrected about 35% from its recent peak. For HANA, the recommendation is Buy with a 2027 target price of 64.6 baht, after a positive surprise of no cash-strapped status last week, combined with support from an accelerating AI CAPEX cycle and China's economic stimulus focused on supporting smart devices, offering upside potential. Profit is expected to grow 23.7% in 2026 and 44% in 2027, while the stock trades at a 2027 forecast PER of 29.5 times and a low PEG of about 0.67 times.

Alibaba Unveils Zhenwu V900 AI Chip, Pledges US$53.00 Billion Cloud Buildout

Alibaba has unveiled its Zhenwu V900 AI accelerator, described as China's most powerful AI chip, alongside a commitment of more than US$53.00 billion over three years to expand data center capacity for Alibaba Cloud by 2032. The push into homegrown AI infrastructure positions Alibaba as a key domestic alternative to foreign chip suppliers and could materially influence how it competes in China's rapidly evolving cloud and AI market. The spending carries rising financial stakes: Alibaba's Cloud and AI segment grew revenue 45% year over year, yet EBITDA margins compressed and free cash flow swung to a roughly RMB 44.7 billion outflow. Alibaba's narrative projects CN¥1487.6 billion revenue and CN¥176.3 billion earnings by 2029, requiring 12.5% yearly revenue growth and about a CN¥103 billion earnings increase from CN¥73.3 billion today. The most optimistic analysts already expected Alibaba to reach about CN¥1,687.4 billion in revenue and CN¥362.0 billion in earnings by 2029, so the new AI capex push could either support that upbeat view or expose how aggressive those assumptions were.

Sandisk Locks In Two-Thirds of Next Year's Output as AI Storage Demand Surges

Sandisk has locked in buyers for roughly half of its output this fiscal year and two-thirds of next year's, under long-term contracts that carry floor prices and minimum financial guarantees. At its August investor day, the company said it had signed ten of these agreements with eight customers, and management set fiscal 2028 through 2030 targets of mid-to-high-teens revenue growth and adjusted gross margins around 80%. In its most recent quarter, ended July 3, revenue rose 372% from a year earlier to $8.97 billion, with data-center sales now about a third of the total, and the company swung to a profit of nearly $7 billion from a loss a year earlier. Sandisk, spun off from Western Digital in February 2025, authorized an additional $14 billion buyback alongside its August results and entered the S&P 100 on September 21, after shares gained more than 640% this year, the best performance in the S&P 500. The shares closed Friday about 24% below their June record, and the next signal is the fiscal first-quarter report, expected in early November.

US and China Vie for AI Dominance as Pax Silica and WAICO Reach a Fork in the Road

The United States and China are competing for dominance in the race to spread artificial intelligence, accelerating their efforts to build self-centered "AI economic spheres." Late last year, the United States launched Pax Silica, an initiative to build secure supply chains for AI, semiconductors, and critical minerals, and the number of signatory countries and regions, centered on allies and friendly nations such as Japan and the United Kingdom, has grown to 25. In July of this year, China also established the World AI Cooperation Organization, or WAICO, with 29 countries to extend cheap AI models and communications infrastructure across the Global South. Dubbed an "AI version of the Belt and Road," it now has 38 participating countries. The US State Department was reported to have drafted a document asking Pax Silica signatories not to join WAICO, pressuring them to take a loyalty test, but Kazakhstan has joined both, and Uzbekistan, Singapore, and Bangladesh are also exploring "dual participation." The US-China summit on the 24th is likely to be a venue for gauging the future of cooperation and division over AI.
