0358 GMT - SCG Packaging looks set to post softer 2Q earnings, given sluggish demand and rising energy prices, DBS Group Research analyst Duladeth Bik says in a report. Packaging demand is expected to slow as the Middle East conflict has pushed up energy prices and transportation costs. Meanwhile, costs of recycled paper, which makes up around 70% of the company's cost of goods sold, is likely to remain flat on quarter. DBS maintains a hold rating on the stock and its target price of 19.00 baht. Shares are 3.5% higher at 20.80 baht.(amanda.lee@wsj.com)
