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.

WP's profit rises, solar subsidies grow, buyback done, credit rating assigned

  • Government solar subsidies boost rooftop demand State support for rooftop solar — a 200 billion baht budget, low-interest loans, and a 50,000 baht per household subsidy for up to 1.5 million homes — cuts upfront costs and should accelerate demand. WP targets at least 10 megawatts of new solar capacity in 2026, with solar already contributing about 10% of profit and a goal of 30% within three years.

    This is the main new demand driver for WP's fastest-growing business.

  • First-half profit up 20%, Q2 up 27% WP reported first-half 2026 net profit of 84.73 million baht, up 20.32% from a year earlier, with Q2 profit up about 27%. The gain came from better customer mix, cost control, and less price competition in LPG, where WP holds about 20% of the market. Solar revenue also contributed 19.89 million baht.

    Earnings growth is the fundamental reason the stock is moving.

  • Share buyback completed, lifting ROE and EPS WP finished buying back the full 15 million shares (2.94% of issued shares) for 57.08 million baht, using excess cash. Management says this raises return on equity and earnings per share, supporting the stock price. The buyback ran from July to September 2026.

    The completed buyback is a concrete capital return that supports the share price.

  • TRIS assigns BBB stable credit rating TRIS Rating gave WP a BBB stable corporate credit rating, citing strong capital, stable cash flow, and low debt (net debt to EBITDA below 1.0 times). This prepares WP to issue bonds in the future and strengthens its financial image, which can lower borrowing costs and support expansion.

    The new credit rating improves WP's financial standing and future funding options.
