Summary · why it matters

SCB X Bank (SCB) has announced an interim dividend of 2 baht per share, paid from retained earnings, with the XD date set for September 8, 2026, and payment on September 25, 2026. Meanwhile, KGI Securities (Thailand) expects most banks to pay interim dividends at 15-20% of their full-year dividend, except TTB, which may pay up to 50%. KKP is expected to increase dividends strongly, driven by a 65% profit growth in the first half. For 2026, KTB is expected to have a payout ratio of 80%, and KBANK 65%. KBANK paid a special dividend of 2 baht per share in 2025. Despite recent share price increases, dividend yields for SCB, KKP, KTB, and TISCO remain above 6%. KGI Securities prefers KBANK, KTB, and KKP due to strong earnings support and solid financial positions.
