The dividend ceiling 25 June 2026

We expect TISCO's DPS to remain at Bt7.75 despite stronger earnings. On the back of Equity

higher fees, we forecast 2Q26 profit of Bt1.73bn, up 5% YoY and flat QoQ. We also raise

our earnings forecasts by an average of 3% for 2026-27 and now project EPS growth of

Key Changes5-6% p.a. Nevertheless, our DDM-based PO remains unchanged at Bt112 as we continue

to expect DPS to remain at Bt7.75. In our view, higher earnings merely reinforce (Bt) Previous Current

dividend sustainability rather than create scope for higher shareholder distribution. 2026E EPS 8.55 8.71

Meanwhile, stronger fees also does little to improve TISCO's relative positioning versus 2027E EPS 8.86 9.23

cheaper peers with greater potential for capital returns. 2028E EPS 9.29 9.00

before this tailwind fades.
