SPD Bank: steady profit growth, dividends, and a new loan-pricing trial

Big cash dividend paid to shareholders SPD Bank paid 13.988 billion yuan in cash dividends, 0.42 yuan per share, as part of a 29-billion-yuan payout day. Returning cash directly to shareholders supports the stock price because investors value reliable income.
A large dividend is a direct return of cash to shareholders and a key reason income-focused investors buy the stock.
Trial of new loan pricing benchmark SPD Bank is one of three banks testing the interbank repo rate as a loan pricing benchmark instead of only the LPR. This gives the bank more flexibility to set loan rates that reflect its actual funding costs, which can help protect profit margins.
This regulatory change could improve how the bank prices loans and manage its profit margin, a core driver of bank earnings.
Interim profit rises for third straight year First-half net profit rose 4.08% to 30.951 billion yuan, with revenue up 3.55%. Operating cash flow jumped 1801.98%, the highest among peers. Steady profit growth and strong cash generation support the stock price.
The interim report is the period's main hard number and shows the bank's core earnings trend.
Margins stabilizing but loan demand still weak Revenue growth accelerated to 3.6% as deposit repricing stabilized net interest margins, but net profit growth slowed to 4.1% on higher bad-loan write-offs. Deposits grew 5.1% while loans grew only 2.9%, showing weak credit demand.
This explains the real counterweight: margin recovery is helping, but weak loan demand and higher provisions are holding profit growth back.

TCAP buyback, strong Q2 profit and higher dividend drive 30-year high

7.5B baht buyback lifts shares to 30-year high TCAP announced a 7.5 billion baht share buyback (up to 10% of shares) running Aug 2026–Feb 2027. Buying back stock reduces shares outstanding, boosting earnings per share and return on equity, and signals confidence in excess cash. The stock jumped to a near 30-year high on the news.
The buyback is the single biggest new capital action driving the stock's surge and is central to why TCAP is moving.
Q2 profit jumps 28%, beating estimates TCAP reported Q2 2026 net profit of 2.64 billion baht, up 28% year-on-year and 23-25% above market expectations. The beat came from higher non-interest income (especially dividends) and lower credit-loss provisions as asset quality at THANI held up. This supports higher future earnings and share price.
The earnings beat is a fresh fundamental catalyst that directly raised profit forecasts and target prices.
Interim dividend raised to 1.50 baht, beating forecasts TCAP declared an interim dividend of 1.50 baht per share (up from 1.30 baht last year), higher than the 1.35 baht analysts expected. The dividend yield of about 1.7% for the half and 5.7-6% for the full year attracts income-focused investors, supporting the share price.
The higher-than-expected dividend is a new cash return event that directly boosts shareholder income and demand for the stock.
Brokers upgrade TCAP to Buy with 105 baht target After the profit beat and dividend hike, brokers raised 2026-27 profit forecasts by 16-20% and upgraded TCAP to Buy with targets up to 105 baht. They cite better non-interest income, lower provisions, a higher payout ratio (57.5%) and the buyback lifting ROE to 10.4% by end-2027.
Analyst upgrades and raised targets reflect improved fundamentals and can pull in more buyers, pushing the price up.
