Company Update | Thai Oil (TOP TB/SELL/Bt36.00/Target: Bt31.00) We expect TOP’s 3Q25 net profit to decline qoq, as a lower market GRM and reduced utilisation rate should result in an anticipated core loss for the quarter.

Thai Oil - Tear Sheet - Lucror Analytics

We view Thai Oil Public Company Limited (TOP) as "Low Risk" on the LARA scale. This is primarily driven by the company's strategic importance to state-owned PTT Public Company Limited, due to its position as the group's main oil refining vehicle. TOP benefits from its close links with PTT, as TOP obtains feedstock from and sells refined products to its parent. In addition, TOP can obtain credit term extensions from PTT for crude oil purchases, which would support TOP's working capital. TOP o...
