We expect TCAP to post a 2Q25 net profit of Bt1.78b (-7% yoy, +4% qoq). The qoq increase is attributed to seasonally received dividend income in the second quarter. We continue to foresee a further qoq decline in TCAP's credit costs for 2Q25, supported by a continued rise in the used truck price index. Meanwhile, TCAP has now transferred all its stakes in TNS to TTB, effective 1 Jul 25. There will be no gain from this transaction. Maintain HOLD with a target price of Bt48.00.

TCAP reported a 1Q25 net profit of Bt1.71b (flat yoy, +28% qoq), in line with our and consensus expectations. Credit cost decreased significantly qoq by 200bp in 1Q25. Meanwhile, the used-truck price index recovered for the fourth consecutive month in Mar 25.

We expect TCAP to post a 1Q25 net profit of Bt1,684m (-4% yoy, +26% qoq). Although TCAP’s credit costs surged significantly qoq in 4Q24, we forecast its credit cost continuing to rise qoq in 1Q25. We expect THANI to be indirectly impacted by the US tariffs and the deterioration in asset quality in the truck lending business. We foresee a weakening outlook for the truck business and a softened used-truck price index in the future. Maintain HOLD with a target price of Bt48.00.

TCAP reported a 4Q24 net profit of Bt1.34b (-7% yoy, -18% qoq), 14% below our forecast and 13% lower than consensus expectation. The key item that dragged the earnings was a jump in provision expenses qoq, partially caused by provisioning for the margin loan and block trade transactions under TNS.

We expect TCAP to post a 4Q24 net profit of Bt1,558m (+9% yoy, -4% qoq). Non-II would be pressured by a lower profit share and higher insurance claims. We foresee TCAP’s 4Q24 credit cost declining qoq despite the uneven recovery in the used truck price index.

We maintain HOLD with a target price of Bt52.00.

TCAP reported a 3Q24 net profit of Bt1,621m (-11% yoy, -16% qoq). The results are in line with our forecast but miss consensus estimate by 7%. The key item that dragged earnings was a jump in provision expenses qoq due to a spike in provisioning from THANI. The truck portfolio continued to suffer from an ongoing decline in the used truck price index. We believe that the truck portfolio needs to wait for a recovery in demand. Maintain HOLD with a target price of Bt52.00.

We expect TCAP to post a 3Q24 net profit of Bt1,660m (-8% yoy, -14% qoq). A lower dividend income qoq would pressure non-II in 3Q24. We expect TCAP’s 3Q24 credit cost to be the highest for the year due to the impact of government stimulus measures, which would strengthen the asset quality outlook. Hence, we should see a continuous improvement in credit cost and asset quality. We roll over our target price base to 2025. We maintain HOLD with a higher target price of Bt52.00.
