The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) is considering implementing both short- and long-term measures to stabilise the market after the sudden surge of Delta Electronics (DELTA) free-float shares disrupted the SET Index on Monday, says a market analyst who requested anonymity. The market must be adaptive to changes, including any unprecedented issues that rarely occurred in the past, the source said.
Delta s shares have soared by over 280% since November, up from about 180 to 838 baht, an all-time high, on Monday. This movement shocked analysts as the price was more than double all research houses fundamental projections.
