Phillip Securities maintained its THB 46.00 target for Krung Thai Bank on September 24, 2026, leaving the SET-listed stock 6.98 percent below that target at its latest quoted price of THB 43.00. The brokerage also kept a Gradual Buy recommendation, according to Kaohoon International.

Results arrive October 21
The upcoming report covers the quarter ended September 30, 2026. Phillip Securities expects net profit of THB 12.3 billion, a 16.1 percent year-over-year decline, while its estimate calls for a 1.2 percent increase from the previous quarter. The forecast reflects lower interest income after loan-rate reductions and weaker gains from financial instruments, partly offset by higher fee income and lower costs and provisions.
