TMBThanachart Bank

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: TMBThanachart Bank Public Company Limited offers a range of commercial banking products and services to individuals, SMEs, and corporate clients mainly in Thailand, with a market cap of THB181.17 billion.

Operations: TMBThanachart Bank Public Company Limited generates revenue from its Retail Banking segment with THB45.42 billion and Commercial Banking segment with THB19.96 billion.

Dividend Yield: 6.5%

TMBThanachart Bank's dividend payments have been volatile over the past decade despite recent growth. With a payout ratio of 56.1%, dividends are covered by earnings and forecasted to remain so, though they are not top-tier in yield compared to peers. Earnings rose 19.2% last year, but a high level of bad loans (3.1%) poses risks. The stock trades at a significant discount to its estimated fair value, potentially appealing for value-focused investors despite an unstable dividend history.
