Bangkok--Nov 15--SET
The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) will reclassify listed companies in two sectors of the Services Industry Group to better encompass the true nature of their businesses and more adequately reflect the core businesses of firms preparing to list on the SET. The two sectors are Media & Publishing and Tourism & Leisure. The reclassification will be effective from January 3, 2006.
The Media and Publishing sector will include listed firms in media production and distribution including printing and publishing houses, magazines, newspapers, and advertising agencies. Nine listed companies the Printing & Publishing sector and 15 listed companies in the Entertainment and Recreation sector will be moved into the Media & Publishing. In addition, Far East DDB Pcl. (FE) and Prakit Holdings Pcl. (P-FCB), both currently in the Professional Services sector, will also be moved into this sector. The total number of listed companies in the Media and Publishing sector will rise to 26.
In addition, the Hotel and Travel Services sector will be renamed and redefined the Tourism and Leisure sector. This sector will include leisure and recreation businesses, e.g., zoos, entertainment complexes, fitness centers and stadiums. It will also include Safari World Pcl. (SAFRI), City Sports and Recreation Pcl. (CSR) and California WOW Xperience Pcl. (CAWOW) from the Entertainment and Recreation sector. The total number of listed firms in the Tourism & Leisure sector will rise to 14.
These sector reclassifications will reduce the number of sectors in the Services Industry group from 7 to 6. The six sectors are Commerce, Media & Publishing, Healthcare Services, Tourism & Leisure, Professional Services, and Transportation & Logistics.
There are currently eight industry groups—Agro & Food Industry, Consumer Products, Financials, Industrials, Property & Construction, Resources, Services, and Technology.
