MST stated that the uptrend interest rate cycle and domestic economic recovery remain a catalyst to boost accumulation on the banking stocks, coupled with the U.S. bond yield rebound for the first time in six days. This gives positive psychology to investment. MST raised KBANK as its top pick among the banking sector.

KGI Securities raised its earnings forecasts to Bt943mn (+1,333% YoY) in 2022F and Bt1.0bn (+8% YoY) in 2023F to factor in the brighter outlook for this year and the acquisitions of AA and BWM.
