The Thai stock market rose 13.88 points, or 0.88%, yesterday to close at 1,598.03 points, with foreign investors net buying 4.63 billion baht after Fitch Ratings raised its outlook on Thailand's credit rating from negative to stable while affirming the rating at BBB+. Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas said the government will accelerate investment in new industries, the transition to green energy, and maintain fiscal discipline. DAOL Securities analysts said the country's outlook revision should lead banks to have their outlooks raised accordingly, expecting KTB and TTB to have a chance of an outlook upgrade this round, and gave a buy recommendation on KTB with a target of 50 baht, KBANK with a target of 270.00 baht, and TTB with a target of 3.20 baht. Meanwhile, UOB Kay Hian analysts viewed it as a positive factor for domestic play stocks, especially banks and consumer goods. Iara Securities was positive on large banks BBL, KBANK, SCB, and KTB, as well as the technology, AI infrastructure, and renewable energy sectors, namely DELTA, GULF, ADVANC, and TRUE.
