The call

Land and Houses is losing revenue ground to AP and Sansiri in a shrinking Thai housing market, but its bank arm and land bank keep the group financially steady for now.

Land and Houses builds and sells homes in Thailand and has its own bank to help buyers get loans. Right now the company is shrinking: sales fell 21.6% and profits dropped 32% in the last year, while bigger competitors like AP and Sansiri are growing instead. The company has valuable land holdings and banking relationships that keep it afloat, but the real question is whether these strengths are enough to stop the bleeding or whether it is losing customers permanently to rivals who are simply outrunning it. Watch the next few quarterly reports: if sales stop falling, the problem is just the housing market being weak right now (and will recover); if sales keep falling, it means customers are choosing other builders and not coming back, which would be much harder to fix.

Why
01
AI pressure: None apparent. AI tools may speed up design or sales chat work, but nothing here builds or sells houses instead of Land and Houses. Could AI do the core job? Unlikely.
02
Bigger players: AP (Thailand) PCL and Sansiri PCL. AP and Sansiri now post TTM revenue near THB 39.4B and 33.9B while LH revenue fell 21.6% in FY2025 to THB 21.8B. Could a giant copy it? Probably.
03
What protects it. A large existing land bank, its own financing arm (LH Bank/LHFG), and a 30.8% stake in Home Product Center give it cash flow AP and Sansiri don't have.

Questions people ask
Is Land and Houses (LH) profitable in 2025?
Yes but shrinking. Land and Houses PCL reported FY2025 net profit of THB 3.72 billion, down 32.3% year on year, on revenue of THB 21.80 billion, down 21.6% from THB 27.81 billion in FY2024, as of December 31, 2025.
Who owns Land and Houses PCL?
LH is publicly listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET:LH) with no single controlling shareholder. The founder family, Asavabhokin/Harnpanij, held roughly 30.7% as of end-2019, with the rest spread across institutional and public shareholders.
Is AP Thailand or Sansiri bigger than Land and Houses now?
Yes. As of June 22, 2026, AP (Thailand) PCL posted trailing twelve month revenue of THB 39.44 billion and Sansiri PCL THB 33.86 billion, both ahead of Land and Houses' THB 21.51 billion TTM revenue.
Could AI replace Land and Houses' core homebuilding business?
Unlikely soon. Physical homebuilding, land acquisition, and construction remain largely untouched by frontier AI; only edge functions like valuation, CRM, and mortgage underwriting are exposed. LH's banking affiliate LHFG plans to add AI to digital finance services in 2H2026.
Is it safe to take a job at Land and Houses?
LH is a decades-old, still-profitable public company (founded 1983, listed 1991) with THB 3.72 billion FY2025 net profit, but revenue fell 21.6% in FY2025 amid a four-year sector low in Thai property presales as of Q1 2026, adding job-security risk.
How is LH Bank / LH Financial Group performing?
Strongly, despite the parent developer's slump. LH Financial Group reported 1H2026 net profit of THB 1,538.6 million, up 37.3% year on year, with total assets of THB 425.33 billion as of June 30, 2026, per its own reported results.
