Ms. Pattaralada Sa-ngasang, Chief Financial Officer of PTT, disclosed that the rise in PTT shares to 40 baht, the highest in nearly four years, has been driven by continuous buying from foreign investors. They favor the group's strategy of creating new business models that combine strengths for mutual growth. As subsidiaries become stronger, they enhance the parent company's value, enabling PTT to consistently pay dividends at 6 to 7 percent per year. The incoming investors include global diversified funds and pension funds. PTT has consolidated scattered infrastructure assets to establish Tank Infra and is preparing to set up Thailand's first Tank infrastructure fund, which has attracted interest from no fewer than 20 foreign investors, with negotiations expected in the second half of the year. Additionally, PTT leverages its strong credit standing, on par with Thailand's sovereign rating, to borrow on behalf of subsidiaries at interest costs at least 0.50 percent lower per year. Most recently, it secured a credit line of over 68 billion baht from Siam Commercial Bank, sufficient for the 200 billion baht liquidity needed this year. There is no need to issue bonds in 2026. The combined market capitalization of the seven PTT group companies stands at 2.398 trillion baht, an increase of 579.35 billion baht from the end of last year, with only OR seeing a slight price decline of 3.76 percent.
