Sri Trang Agro reports $33.7m Q3 loss as demand softens

Shareholder loss widened 7% QoQ on weaker rubber prices.

Sri Trang Agro-Industry PCL (STA) posted a net loss of $33.7m (THB841.9m) in the third quarter, reversing a $20.7m (THB517.3m) profit a year earlier as global rubber demand and selling prices remained weak.

The quarterly loss widened 7% quarter on quarter (QoQ), bringing the net margin to -3.9%, compared with -2.6% in Q2 2025. Profit attributable to shareholders declined 263% year on year (YoY), whilst EBITDA fell 76% to $18m (THB449.4m). Gross margin dropped to 4% from 10.4% a year earlier due to lower prices and higher production costs.

Operating expenses fell 16% YoY to $69m (THB1.7b), but cost savings were offset by lower rubber sales volumes and competition in gloves. Finance costs declined 28% YoY to S$13m (THB325m) after loan repayments, improving the net debt-to-equity ratio to 0.55×.

STA said profitability will likely remain under pressure through early 2026 as exporters await clarity on US Reciprocal Tariff policies and EU deforestation rules that continue to affect demand.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
