TICON reported a net profit of 290 million Baht (0.57 per share) up 40% yoy for 2004. TICON also announced a final dividend of 0.30 (Interim of 0.2 or total of Bt0.5, yield of 4.3% for year 2004). The XD date is on March 4 -and the payment of 0.30 is set for April 12 2005. Happy Songkran!
With Ticon up 75% what is one to do now? Well, that depends what kind of investor you are and how early and how much you got a hold of my favorite sole choice here, since October last year.
I review here a couple of more stocks which I mentioned favorably a few months back. Then I make some year end general comments and reviews --and turn sour on Thai IPO's.

"Stecon is one stock which today got my attention again. It appears now oversold and should have a good upcoming year, after this year's temporary set back. As Mr. Thaksin gets re-elected, infrastructure projects will surge and Stecon should benefit. The...
Ocean Glass has been a favourite of Thaistocks.com. Recent stock price performance has been disappointing. There was positive news a couple months back when the company announced that it will be adding another glass furnace (they currenlty operate two furnaces). This is a fairly large and expensive project, but will...
Thaistocks.com rates CFRESH as a speculative buy on the basis that it may be oversold and that it may soon be recovering to sales and earnings levels of the past.
From a recent Kim Eng research report:
"Seafresh Industry (CFRESH) normalised profit rose 20% yoy in 2Q04 to...
Stecon stock is down from the 18 to 22 Baht range earlier this year and lost about 20% in value since I removed it from the model portfolio, just a few months ago. Today at 8.65 Baht, I would now add STECON back to a diversified portfolio of solid Thai stocks.
