On Thursday at 10:27 AM (Bangkok time), the share price of Tidlor Holdings Public Company Limited (SET: TIDLOR) jumped by 9.32% or THB 1.50 to THB 17.60, with a trading value of THB 810.04 million.
The rise in TIDLOR’s share price is supported by a resolution from the company’s board of directors on May 20, 2026, which approved the payment of an interim cash dividend at a rate of THB 0.69 per share to common shareholders. The XD sign is set for June 2, 2026, with the record date for shareholders eligible to receive the dividend on June 4, 2026, and the dividend payment scheduled for June 19, 2026.
Mrs. Athitaya Phoonwathu, Managing Director of TIDLOR, disclosed that the board had also approved a share buyback program for financial management purposes, with a budget not exceeding THB 2.4 billion. The number of shares to be repurchased will not exceed 122.824 million shares, representing no more than 4.24% of the company’s total issued shares. The buyback will be executed via the automatic order matching (AOM) system of the Stock Exchange of Thailand between May 28, 2026, and November 27, 2026.
The company stated that the objective of this share buyback program is to manage excess liquidity and enhance investor confidence. Following the completion of the buyback, shareholders are expected to benefit from an improved return on equity (ROE) and higher earnings per share (EPS), as the number of shares in circulation in the market decreases. TIDLOR affirmed that this program will not affect its liquidity or business operations.
As of the market close on May 20, 2026, TIDLOR’s share price stood at THB 16.10 per share. Based on the dividend payment of THB 0.69 per share, this represents a dividend yield of approximately 4.29%.
Additionally, this dividend payment will result in the Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited (SET: BAY), the major shareholder holding 1,346,993,454 shares or 46.51%, receiving a total dividend of approximately THB 929.43 million.
