JMT's bad-debt pipeline revives as state stimulus lifts recovery hopes

NPL supply returns, Q3/Q4 profit seen improving Banks are again auctioning bad-debt portfolios after a long lull, giving JMT more to buy. The CEO says Q3 2026 earnings should beat Q2, with possible lower bad-loan provisions as borrowers repay better. More supply means more future income.
This is the core new operational driver: rising NPL supply directly feeds JMT's debt-buying and future collections.
Government stimulus supports debtors' ability to pay Thailand's 57.5-billion-baht stimulus, including bigger welfare-card allowances and the Thai Chuay Thai Plus co-payment, puts cash in consumers' hands. Broker KSS names JMT a beneficiary because better household finances mean debtors are more likely to repay, lifting collections.
It explains a new external force that improves JMT's collection rates and was explicitly cited by a broker as a reason to own the stock.
Broker raises target to 13 baht, sees best quarter ahead ASL Securities keeps a Buy rating and 13-baht target, saying Q4 2026 could be the year's best quarter as collections accelerate and NPL supply rises. JMT also raised its debt-purchase budget to 2 billion baht, aiming for a portfolio near 600 billion baht.
It shows analyst conviction and a concrete budget increase that signals management expects growth, both supporting the share price.
Weak first-half profit and lower Q2 weigh on sentiment JMT's Q2 2026 profit fell 5% from a year earlier and first-half profit dropped 15.7%, with collection flat and its JK AMC unit weaker. That is a real counterweight: the recovery story depends on the second half actually delivering.
It provides the honest counterbalance — recent results are still soft, so the positive outlook is not yet proven.

Strong H1 results with 5% organic growth Wolters Kluwer reported 5% organic revenue growth and 9% organic profit growth for H1 2026, with margin expanding to 29.4%. Recurring revenues, 85% of the total, grew 7%. AI adoption is boosting results, and full-year guidance was reiterated, reassuring investors.
The earnings report is the single most important new fundamental event, confirming the company's growth trajectory.
New partnerships and contract renewals expand reach Wolters Kluwer renewed and expanded its Norway health deal for 30,000 clinicians, partnered with Hitachi Cyber to resell TeamMate, and integrated Capego with Finago in Sweden. These deals broaden distribution and add recurring revenue, supporting the stock.
