Analyst Raenoo Bhandasukdi is also expecting the owner to remain in the black for the full-year amid the belief the market will improve after its summer lull.

Precious is likely to post a normalised profit of THB 76m ($2.36m) in the second quarter, Bhandasukdi said in a results preview.

This would mark a return to positive territory after a THB 106m loss in the same period last year but a fall of a third from the gain seen in the first quarter of 2014.
