Banking stocks have reported their second-quarter 2026 results, with KBANK recording the highest net profit at 13.247 billion baht, up 6.07% from a year earlier. Meanwhile, CIMBT showed the most outstanding profit growth, reaching 886 million baht, a 407% increase year-on-year. Analysts at Bualuang Securities cited positive factors from strong fee income growth and still-robust asset quality, but noted a negative factor from a higher cost-to-income ratio. They expect the sector's profit in the third quarter of 2026 to weaken by 13% from a year earlier and 3% from the previous quarter, due to lower investment gains. KBANK has been upgraded to a top pick alongside KKP and KTB.
