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.
