Strong growth resulting from aggressive expansion plans and regular earnings per share should average 8.2% CAGR in 2022-2024.

ORI target 13.10 baht I like ORI because the company is likely to achieve normalized earnings per share of 22.6% in 2023 with an increasing share of revenue from low-rise residential and joint venture projects. Positive factors that will help raise the stock price are new joint venture contracts and unlocking the value of investments in subsidiaries through IPO shares on the stock exchange.
