Foreign investors returned to net-buy Thai stocks for the first time in 5 trading days (as of 14 August 2026), driven by better-than-expected Q2 2026 earnings and expectations of MSCI index weight increases taking effect 31 August. Market EPS revised up to 108.8 baht/share, with energy and electronics segment upgrades offsetting real-estate downgrades; energy stock gains contain 5–6 baht of oil-price support. Thailand Focus investor conference (26–28 August) and upcoming bank interim dividends expected to fuel ongoing foreign inflows. Each 10 billion baht net foreign buy estimated to push SET index up 10–15 points. Mid-year 2026 target ranges 1,700–1,710 on downside if oil softens.
