Krungthai (ISIN TH0150010Z11) announced an interim dividend of THB 0.48 per share on September 15, 2026, according to Line Today. The payment is scheduled for October 8, 2026, after the September 22, 2026 ex-dividend date.

Dividend sets a near-term marker

The payout gives shareholders a dated cash-flow event while the bank prepares its next quarterly update. The same report said the dividend exceeded the earlier expectation of THB 0.43 per share, a difference of THB 0.05.

That increase matters because the latest operating figures show a mixed earnings comparison. Investing.com lists earnings per share of THB 0.87 for the second quarter of 2026 versus THB 1.05 in the second quarter of 2025, a decline of 17.14 percent.

Third-quarter estimates point lower

Krungthai is scheduled to report its third-quarter 2026 results on October 21, 2026. Finanzen.ch reported that 10 analysts expect average earnings per share of THB 0.904 for the quarter, compared with THB 1.05 in the prior-year period.

The same forecast puts revenue at THB 39.27 billion, down 26.71 percent from THB 53.58 billion a year earlier. That comparison raises the importance of credit quality, fee income and loan growth when the bank publishes its results.

Stock remains below its yearly high

On the Stock Exchange of Thailand, KTB was last at THB 41.75 on October 6, 2026 at 4:37 p.m. ICT, versus a previous price of THB 42.25 and a daily change of minus 1.18 percent. The quote places the stock below its 52-week high of THB 46.00 and above its 52-week low of THB 24.30.

MGR Online reported that KTB fell 5.65 percent between September 28 and October 2, 2026, while remaining up 47.79 percent year to date. The report linked the decline to broad banking-sector selling, flood-related economic concerns and profit taking after the earlier advance.

Dividend meets the next earnings test

The next evidence point is the October 21 reporting date. A THB 0.48 dividend can support income expectations, but the forecast revenue decline and the 17.14 percent earnings-per-share comparison make the upcoming report the more important test of operating momentum.
