Bangkok Dusit Medical Services Public Company LimitedTISCO maintains buy recommendation with 23 baht fair value, implying upside.
TISCO Securities expects combined profit of the hospital group in the second quarter of 2026 to be 6.43 billion baht, down 0.7% from the same period last year and 6.2% from the first quarter, marking the lowest point of the year. A recovery is anticipated in the second half. The firm maintains a buy recommendation on BDMS with a fair value of 23 baht per share. Core profit is projected at 6.36 billion baht, down 1.7% year-on-year and 7.2% quarter-on-quarter. Excluding RAM, which grew from consolidating THG, core profit would decline 3.0% year-on-year and 8.9% quarter-on-quarter. Core revenue of the group is expected at 46.2 billion baht, up 7.7% year-on-year but down 2.3% quarter-on-quarter, pressured by the impact of the US-Iran conflict on international patients throughout the quarter, the absence of revenue from Cambodian patients, and sluggish domestic spending. EBITDA margin is forecast to decline to 24.0% from 25.1% in the second quarter of last year and 25.2% in the first quarter of this year. The outlook for the third quarter is expected to improve both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter, driven by a recovery in international patient revenue, particularly from the Middle East which returned to year-on-year growth in July for the first time since the conflict began, and a more favorable comparison base after the pressure from Cambodian patients subsided.
