PRM rides Middle East conflict to record profit, full fleet, higher dividends

Middle East conflict keeps oil storage and tanker demand at full stretch The prolonged Middle East conflict has pushed PRM's floating storage vessels to 100% use and lifted tanker shipments, driving Q2 profit to 551 million baht and revenue up 5% year-on-year. Management expects Q3 to grow again on the same force, with storage demand for oil reserves still strong.
This is the core force behind PRM's earnings and the main reason analysts keep raising targets.
Brokers lift targets and dividends as profit heads for a record year Dao Securities raised its dividend forecast, lifting the yield to 7.1% from 5.5%, and sees 2026 normal profit at a record 2.2 billion baht. Yuanta kept a 12 baht target, expecting a 0.33 baht second-half dividend. PRM also paid a special 0.20 baht interim dividend.
Higher dividends and record profit forecasts directly support the share price and investor returns.
Fleet grows with bigger, more efficient ships to meet rising demand PRM reported first-half net profit of 1,209.4 million baht with operating profit up 28.9%. It is adding six new petroleum and chemical tankers, with the first arriving October 2026, and two domestic tankers in Q4 2026, taking the fleet to 73 vessels by year-end.
Fleet expansion shows the company investing to capture demand, supporting future revenue growth.
PRM named a market outperformer on overseas revenue Bualuang Securities said shipping stocks like PRM outperformed in Q3 2026 because most revenue comes from overseas, and recommended rotating into global-economy and commodity sectors for the rest of the year. This adds to the positive sentiment already built by strong earnings.
It shows a fresh, broader market endorsement of PRM's overseas-driven business model.

Jio IPO, global streaming and 5G roaming lift Reliance

The IPO is a major capital event that directly boosts Reliance's value and reduces debt.
JioHotstar expands overseas Reliance's streaming service JioHotstar launched in the UK, Canada and Singapore, targeting over 4 million South Asian viewers. It starts without live cricket, but the move opens new subscription revenue outside India and builds on Reliance's Disney joint venture.
International expansion of Reliance's streaming arm adds a new growth market.
5G roaming breakthrough with T-Mobile Jio and T-Mobile completed the world's first 5G standalone roaming call between the US and India. This shows Jio's network technology is advanced, which can attract more international users and business customers, supporting Reliance's telecom growth.
The 5G roaming milestone strengthens Jio's technology leadership and future revenue potential.
Direct Venezuelan crude deal Reliance signed a direct supply agreement with Venezuela's PDVSA, bypassing middlemen and their fees. This secures crude oil at lower cost for Reliance's refineries, helping profit margins even as global oil prices stay high.
Cheaper crude supply directly improves Reliance's refining profitability.
