Summary · why it matters

Synnex Thailand Public Company Limited, or SYNEX, reported second-quarter 2026 core profit of 197 million baht, up 19% from the same period last year and about 5% above analyst expectations. Core revenue came in at 11.8 billion baht, edging up 1.3% from a year earlier. While Apple product sales fell 10.7% due to supply constraints, the smartphone and wearables segment grew 9.7%, consumer IT grew 4.8%, commercial IT surged 43.1% on large project deliveries and demand for Windows 11 and AI PC transitions, enterprise solutions rose 11.3%, and gaming grew 13.6% off a low base last year. Gross margin improved to 4.0%, supported by inventory gains amid rising product prices. Share of profit from associates was 50 million baht, up 33% year-on-year, with associate NCAP posting a record quarterly net profit of 197 million baht, growing 34.1% from a year earlier. Total loans grew 3.8% from the previous quarter, and net interest margin widened to 12.2%, while the non-performing loan ratio edged down from 1.4% to 1.3%, reflecting strong asset quality. SYNEX announced an interim dividend for the first half of 2026 of 0.10 baht per share, representing a dividend yield of about 1.0%, with the XD date set for 19 August 2026. Analysts at Yuanta Securities noted that first-half 2026 core profit accounts for 53% of the full-year estimate of 705 million baht, and they see room for a further roughly 10% upgrade to that estimate on better-than-expected NCAP performance. They raised the end-2026 target price to 12.00 baht per share and upgraded the recommendation to buy, saying market concerns have passed their peak.
