It recommended selective buying of these companies’ shares as an investment strategy:

▪︎ Hana, KCE, TU, CPF, Asian, EPG and Sun, which benefit from a weakening baht.

▪︎ BCH, CHG, BDMS, DoHome, BEM, CKP, CBG, OSP, Ichi, GPSC, BEC, Gunkul, JWD, Wice, Sonic and NER, whose second-quarter business turnover is expected to improve.
