Global raised its 2026 profit forecast by 8.00 percent, according to Kaohoon International on September 15, 2026. The revised view puts greater weight on second-half earnings and a gross-margin assumption of 28.30 percent, up from 27.30 percent.

Margin assumptions move higher

The forecast change gives Global a defined operating lever: margin expansion rather than a simple sales-volume story. Kaohoon International reported that the margin projection is designed to offset a more conservative assumption for same-store sales.

The same report said three new branches are expected to contribute to 2026 earnings. Selling and administrative expenses are also expected to remain controlled, which makes the 1.00 percentage-point margin step the clearest quantified part of the forecast.

Stores provide the growth platform

Siam Global House describes itself as a one-stop home-improvement retailer for construction and decoration materials. Its investor-relations page says the business started in 1997 and offers 100,000-plus stock-keeping units through stores across Thailand and overseas markets including Myanmar, Laos, Indonesia and Cambodia.

The company also highlights a drive-through system intended to improve customer access. For investors, the forecast rests on a combination of store expansion, product breadth and gross-margin discipline, while the same-store-sales assumption remains a counterweight to the earnings upgrade.
