Summary · why it matters

The Thai stock market index on September 25, 2026 closed at 1,607.63 points, up 5.05 points or 0.32%, with trading value of 57.37 billion baht. Discussions between the US and Chinese presidents have yet to produce an agreement that moves the market, but a two-month extension of negotiations is seen as a positive signal. Meanwhile, the situation in the Middle East is not expected to escalate but could drag on, and the market is watching the Constitutional Court's scheduled reading of its ruling on the ballot-card barcode case on September 28, 2026, which, if it finds the barcode invalid, would require a new election, though the market appears not overly concerned. On the corporate front, BTS is selling three tranches of long-term bonds with maturities of 2 to 4 years and interest rates of 3.20-3.75%, open for subscription from September 25-29, 2026 through 13 leading financial institutions, carrying a TRIS Rating credit rating of BBB+ with a negative outlook as of August 24, 2026. LEO, under the leadership of Kettivit Sittisoontornwong, is pressing ahead with a three-pillar, six-dimension strategy, or 3x6 Growth Matrix, under the Jump+ plan to drive EBITDA up 45%, or 50-55 million baht, by 2028, while securing a full 100 points on the AGM Checklist with an excellent five-star rating for a fourth consecutive year. TRUE has upgraded emergency measures to cope with heavy rain and flooding to maintain 5G, 4G and WiFi services around the clock, and Thaicom, or THCOM, has changed its name to Gulf Space Technology, or GST, effective September 28, 2026, reflecting its expanded role as a space technology service provider.
