Kasikorn Securities (KS) stated that hire purchase stocks have declined, contrary to banking stocks. The overall outlook for the hire purchase sector continues to face risks from the slowing economy, creating the likelihood that loans may also continue to slow down, with concerns over the possibility of an increase in non-performing loans (NPLs).
Additionally, there are worries about yields potentially being pressured due to the new hire purchase regulations that will take effect on June 1, 2026.
Part of the pressure also comes from sentiment surrounding AEONTS, whose portfolio quality remains weak, prompting investors to rotate their investments towards other financial stocks—especially banking stocks that continue to perform well and offer high dividend yields.
