Thai Financial Sector's 4Q Earnings Likely Declined -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-16

0243 GMT - The Thai financial sector's 4Q 2025 earnings are expected to have declined from the previous quarter, UOB Kay Hian analysts say in a note. Financial companies are adding provisions for potential expenses amid policy uncertainty ahead of the coming general election in February, the brokerage says. UOB KH expects 4Q net profit at financial companies under its coverage to have declined 5% on quarter. Still, the sector's loan portfolio is expected to have grown 4% in the quarter from the previous, supported by seasonal demand. The brokerage upgrades its rating for the Thai financial sector to overweight, naming Muangthai Capital and Krungthai Card as its top sector picks.(amanda.lee@wsj.com)
