<ul>
<li>Delta Thailand shares crashed over 20% in one day after its Taiwan parent sold a stake in the company.</li>
<li>Given the small size of the stake sale, we believe the share sale by the parent represents an opportunistic sale to crystallize value from Delta Thailand's high share price.</li>
<li>We spoke with Delta Taiwan to update our model. Delta Taiwan continues to offer much better value than Delta Thailand, earning more than double Thailand's net profit with similar growth.</li>

In this insight, we take a look at the potential ADDs/DELs for Thailand's SET50 index rebalance in December 2023.

Delta Electronics Thai (DELTA TB) - one of the largest SET 50 members - has been in the Market Surveillance Measure list a couple of times already this year.
Although this creates some doubts over the fate of DELTA's SET50 membership, at present, I believe DELTA will escape deletion in December 2023.
