Despite significant changes in the economic, social, political, and technological environments in 2024, the research team assessed the brand values of companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand and in six ASEAN countries, using financial data from qualifying companies to calculate brand values. The CBS Valuation formula integrates marketing, finance, and accounting principles and uses a 3-year average of each company’s financial data in their respective industries to derive a financial brand value.
