Thai vehicle sales rise 6% in July

Just Auto

TechnipFMC

-0.22%

Thailand’s new vehicle market expanded by almost 6% to 49,102 units in July 2025, up from depressed year-earlier sales of 46,394 units, according to the latest wholesale data released by the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI).

July was the fourth consecutive month of growth for the market, after two years of sharp declines, as the country’s highly indebted consumers and small businesses struggled to access vehicle financing after local banks tightened lending rules. The Bank of Thailand has cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points four times in the last year, from a peak of 2.5% to 1.5%, to help support the domestic economy.

Economic activity has picked up this year, with GDP growth accelerating to 3% year-on-year in the first half, driven mainly by strong export activity as producers stepped up overseas shipments ahead of new import tariffs in the US, which for Thailand were set at 19% at the beginning of August.

Last month, the Thai vehicle market continued to be supported by strong sales of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), mainly as Chinese automakers continued to ramp up local production to compensate for their earlier imports under the Thai government’s EV3.0 investment incentive programme. BEV sales rose by 36% year-on-year to 9,304 units in July, while sales of pickup trucks fell by over 16% to 11,022 units – the 30^th consecutive month of decline.

In the first seven months of 2025, the Thai vehicle market was slightly lower at 351,796 units, compared with 354,421 units in the same period last year, with BEV sales rising by 58% to 63,760 units – accounting for 19% of total vehicle sales. The industry expects BEV sales to surpass 100,000 units this year, helped by new models and aggressive pricing.

Vehicle production in the country fell by over 11% to 110,616 units in July, after a strong surge in June, and was down by 6% to 835,331 units year-to-date. Exports fell by 11% to 531,796 units in the seven-month period, reflecting sluggish overseas demand and rising global competition from Chinese automakers.

The Thai government recently indicated that it was considering introducing scrappage incentives to encourage owners to trade in their old pickup trucks for new ones. Earlier this year, the Thai government launched a THB 5 billion loan-guarantee programme, which runs until the end of the year, to support pickup truck purchases by small and medium-sized businesses. This has not had a significant impact on pickup truck sales so far.

The FTI has also revised its full-year vehicle output forecast down to 1.4 million units, from 1.5 million units forecast earlier this year.

Why FTI Consulting (FCN) Stock Is Down Today

Stock Story

What Happened?

Shares of business advisory firm FTI Consulting fell 4.1% in the morning session after the company announced a significant leadership change, with Chief Financial Officer Ajay Sabherwal planning to step down effective September 12, 2025. The company announced that Chief Financial Officer Ajay Sabherwal will leave on September 12, 2025, after nine years with the firm, to take a position outside the consulting industry. The departure of a long-serving executive in a key financial role can create unease among investors regarding a company's leadership stability. While FTI has appointed its Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, Paul Linton, as interim CFO, the search for a permanent replacement introduces a period of uncertainty. This leadership change is being closely watched by the market, as a transition in the CFO position is a significant event that can lead to temporary instability within the financial leadership team.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy FTI Consulting? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

FTI Consulting’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 3 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 19 days ago when the stock gained 5.4% on the news that the company lowered its full-year earnings and revenue forecast, signaling a more challenging outlook ahead. The lowered forecast overshadowed second-quarter results that beat Wall Street estimates. FTI reported Q2 revenue of $943.7 million and adjusted EBITDA of $111.6 million, surpassing analysts' expectations. However, the company cut its full-year earnings per share (EPS) projection to a range of $7.24 to $7.84, down from a previous forecast of $7.44 to $8.24. The revenue outlook for the year was also trimmed. The mixed performance reflected varied results across its business units, as revenue growth in its Corporate Finance, Forensic and Litigation, and Strategic Communications segments was offset by declines in its Economic Consulting and Technology segments. Overall, the negative forward-looking statements appeared to weigh more heavily on investors than the quarterly beat.

FTI Consulting is down 13.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $163.97 per share, it is trading 29% below its 52-week high of $231 from October 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of FTI Consulting’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,360.

Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we’ve identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.

Expand Energy Corporation EXE reported second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share of $1.10, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.14.

EXE’s Costs & Expenses

Total operating expenses in the quarter rose to $2.4 billion from the year-ago quarter’s $799 million. This was mainly due to an increase in gathering, processing and transportation costs, which were up nearly threefold year over year to $563 million. The company’s marketing cost of 791 million also rose significantly from the year-ago level of $141 million. Furthermore, Expand Energy’s depreciation outlay increased 121% from the second quarter of 2024.

The base and variable dividends are scheduled to be paid on Sept. 4, 2025, to shareholders of record as of Aug. 14, 2025.

Important Earnings at a Glance

While we have discussed EXE’s second-quarter results in detail, let us take a look at three other key reports in this space.

Oil and gas equipment and services provider TechnipFMC plc FTI reported second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings of 68 cents per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 57 cents. The bottom line also topped the year-ago quarter’s reported profit of 43 cents. The outperformance is primarily driven by strong results in the Subsea segment.

The Company’s revenues of $2.5 billion beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.2%. Moreover, the top line increased from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure of $2.3 billion.

As of June 30, FTI had cash and cash equivalents worth $950 million and long-term debt of $425.1 million, with a debt-to-capitalization of 11.6%.

Oil and gas equipment and services provider, Liberty Energy LBRT, reported a second-quarter 2025 adjusted net income of 12 cents per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 14 cents. Moreover, the bottom line decreased sharply from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure of 61 cents. The company's underperformance can be attributed to increased macroeconomic uncertainty combined with energy sector volatility and a reduction in customer activity.

LBRT's revenues totaled $1 billion, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by $37 million. Moreover, the top line decreased from the prior-year quarter’s level of $1.2 billion by 10% due to softening of completions activity.

As of June 30, Liberty Energy had approximately $19.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. The pressure pumper’s long-term debt of $160 million represented a debt-to-capitalization of 7.3%.

Core Laboratories Inc. CLB reported second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings of 19 cents per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 18 cents. However, the bottom line decreased from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure of 22 cents due to the underperformance of the Reservoir Description segment.

This oil-field service provider reported operating revenues of $130.2 million, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $128 million. This can be attributed to the rebound of the maritime movement and trading of crude oil and the company’s associated laboratory assay services. However, the top line decreased marginally by 0.3% from the year-ago quarter’s $130.6 million due to decreased revenues from the Production Enhancement segment.

As of June 30, 2025, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $31.2 million and long-term debt of $124.6 million. CLB’s debt-to-capitalization was 31.8%.

Technip Energies raises TPS margin guidance despite Q2 earnings miss

Investing.com

Advanced Micro Devices

-4.81%

Investing.com -- Technip (EPA:FTI) Energies on Thursday reported mixed second-quarter 2025 results, missing earnings estimates but raising its Technology, Products & Services (TPS) margin guidance for the full year.

The energy engineering company posted adjusted net income of €90 million, falling 19% short of company consensus expectations of €111 million.

Adjusted EBITDA came in at €157 million with an 8.7% margin, slightly below consensus estimates of €163 million at an 8.9% margin.

The company’s Projects Delivery segment reported EBITDA of €100.9 million with a 7.6% margin, missing consensus expectations of €107 million at an 8.1% margin.

Technip attributed this to "resilient performance despite a higher proportion of early-phase projects, for which we recognize limited margin contribution."

Meanwhile, the TPS segment delivered its highest-ever margin at 15.6%, with EBITDA reaching €71.7 million, exceeding consensus estimates of €68 million at a 13.7% margin.

The strong TPS performance was driven by "ethylene furnaces deliveries, catalyst supply, and project management consultancy."

Order intake for the quarter totaled €1,991 million with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x, slightly ahead of consensus expectations. However, the company’s backlog decreased 2% to €18 billion from €18.2 billion, impacted by a €667 million unfavorable foreign exchange effect.

Technip Energies’ backlog for 2026 increased to €6.5 billion, representing 79% coverage of expected revenue, up from €6 billion and 73% coverage reported in the first quarter.

The company’s adjusted net cash position stood at €3.269 billion, below consensus expectations of €3.352 billion and down from €3.297 billion in the first quarter.

For the full year 2025, Technip Energies maintained its Projects Delivery revenue guidance at €5.2-5.6 billion with an EBITDA margin of approximately 8%.

However, it raised its TPS segment margin guidance to 14.0-14.5% from 13.5% previously, implying a 2% increase in group EBITDA to €662 million.

Looking ahead, the company expressed confidence in its positioning for important awards in the next six to eighteen months across both business segments, particularly in LNG, blue molecules, and sustainable fuels, with the United States expected to be one of the most active regions.
