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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
