The technology-oriented Nasdaq Composite
Index has dropped significantly since last month after roughly 70 listed
firms had downgraded their 3Q00 earnings forecast as a result of US
economy slowdown, weak Europe’s currency and high oil prices.
The main reason comes from 4E, which
are Economy, Euro, Energy and Earning, causing Nasdaq to fall 27% from
4,234 on September 1st to close lowest at 3,075 on October 12th. Hence,
this affected the same to Thai TMT (Technology, Media and Telecom) stocks
sending them to underperform the market. And now we are expecting Nasdaq
to rebound. So do TMT. Moreover, expected good 3Q00 results for Thai
TMT will help boost their share prices.. We recommend BUY/TRADING BUY
for good fundamental TMT like DELTA, HANA, CIRKIT, BEC, SATTEL, TA and
UCOM.
