Diamond Building Products Public Company Limited

DRT or Diamond Product Public Company Limited expects its 2026 performance to grow from the previous year, which had a profit of around 317 million baht, after the government has a subsidy program for rooftop solar installation for households at 50,000 baht per household, covering 1 million households, which will be a positive factor for sales of concrete roof tiles that hold solar panels. Mr. Sathit Sudbanthad, Chief Executive Officer, said the company maintains its revenue target this year to grow around 2-3% from 2025, after the first half had a profit of around 279 million baht, while continuing to introduce construction material innovations such as uPVC AIR ROOF and MAX BLOCK lightweight concrete blocks to boost sales, and turning to target the home renovation market in the South, which was affected by floods, with current revenue proportion from this segment at around 20-30%.

Diamond Product Public Company Limited (DRT) announced an interim dividend of 0.20 baht per share, with the ex-dividend (XD) date set for August 31, 2026, and payment on September 11, 2026. This follows a strong recovery in the first half of 2026, with net profit of 279.83 million baht, up 38.06% from the same period last year, despite volatile energy prices. Mr. Satit Sudbanthad, Chief Executive Officer, said the dividend is to reward shareholders and offers an attractive option for investors seeking dividend stocks.

Diamond Building Products Public Company Limited, or DRT, has launched four construction material innovations under the Diamond Brand to meet the home extension trend, focusing on garage and backyard kitchen use. The first product is the Diamond Brand uPVC AIR ROOF, available in a Standard model with a three-layer structure whose carbon fiber core and filler help reduce heat and noise, a Translucent model that allows up to 65 percent light transmission, and a Hollow model 10 millimeters thick with a Hollow Air Gap structure for improved heat resistance and sound reduction. The Diamond Brand MAX BLOCK lightweight concrete block measures 60 by 60 by 7.5 centimeters, larger than ordinary lightweight blocks, helping reduce joints and mortar while resisting fire and preventing flame spread for more than four hours. Diamond Counter is a ready-made lightweight counter that supports up to 170 kilograms per square meter, with components including top panels, sink sections, double-bowl sink sections, gas stove sections, legs, and floor panels. The Diamond XTruShield WPC wood composite is produced with Co-Extrusion technology and an all-round TruShield coating that protects against UV rays and withstands all weather conditions, with a warranty of up to 15 years under the company's terms.

The board of Diamond Building Products Public Company Limited, or DRT, has approved an interim dividend for the first six months of 2026 at 0.20 baht per share, totaling 162.41 million baht. The stock will trade excluding dividend on 31 August 2026, with payment on 11 September 2026. The dividend rate is up from 0.18 baht per share in the same period last year, in line with first-half net profit rising 38.06 percent to 279.83 million baht. The company plans to expand its market for home improvement and repair products, such as uPVC AIR ROOF roofing and SPC flooring, wall, and stair products, to offset the construction off-season in the third quarter of 2026.

DRT expects rising demand for home improvement and repairs to lift the revenue share from the renovation segment to around 35% by the end of 2026, up from the previous 20 to 30%. This is driven by an expanding second-hand home market and demand for home extensions in the South following the major floods in Hat Yai in 2025. At the same time, the company sees an opportunity to expand its government customer base from new project investment, after starting up its second Saraburi lightweight concrete plant in late 2025 to boost production capacity for a wide range of standard and special-specification products. In addition, DRT has adjusted its pricing plan for certain product groups that use petrochemical raw materials starting from the second quarter of 2026, in order to cope with higher cement and energy costs. It still targets 2026 revenue growth of 2 to 3% from 2025, while maintaining a full-year gross margin of at least 20%.

Diamond Building Products Public Company Limited, or DRT, has introduced its Roof 360° service for upgrading existing roofs, alongside professional installation of SPC flooring, stairs, and walls by trained expert teams, offering a comprehensive home renovation solution. The Roof 360° service covers replacing old, damaged, or leaking roofs with Diamond brand roofing, as well as restoring faded concrete roof tiles using a specially formulated spray paint, backed by a one-year service warranty. The SPC installation service uses high-quality products that are moisture-resistant, termite-resistant, and 100% waterproof, such as Diamond SPC flooring with R10 slip resistance, fiber-cement core SPC stairs, and FastPanel SPC walls up to 2.8 meters in length, which reduce joints and can be installed on new wall frames or over existing tiled walls.
