Bangkok: Electricity Generating Public Company Limited (EGCO Group) announced an interim dividend payment for the first half of 2025 operating results at 3.25 baht per share, representing a dividend yield of approximately 6%. This reinforces shareholder confidence in the company as a dividend stock with a solid power business foundation, strong liquidity, and a consistent dividend payment policy.
According to Thai News Agency, Dr. Jiraporn Sirikham, President of EGCO Group, revealed that EGCO Group's solid business foundation and continuous growth stemming from a diverse power plant portfolio, strong operating cash flow, and investment expansion under the "Triple P" strategy have enabled it to consistently pay dividends. The Board of Directors' meeting on August 22, 2025, resolved to approve an interim dividend payment based on the first half of 2025 operating results at a rate of 3.25 baht per share, equivalent to the previous year's interim dividend, representing a dividend yield of approximately 6%. The dividend is scheduled to be paid to shareholders on September 19, 2025.
The ability to maintain the interim dividend payment rate is attributed to the EGCO Group's performance in the first six months of 2025, in which total revenue was 22,198 million baht, total operating profit was 3,504 million baht, and net profit was 5,734 million baht. Positive factors included increased performance in the power and related energy businesses, as well as performance under the "Triple P" strategy.
"Despite the challenging business environment, EGCO Group maintains a strong business foundation and adheres to its policy of paying consistent dividends to shareholders. This dividend stock provides consistent returns for shareholders. EGCO Group also aims to create added value and grow alongside shareholders over the long term by exploring investment opportunities in the power and related energy sectors, particularly in natural gas and renewable energy power plants, which support the energy transition and the organization's low-carbon goals, under rigorous and comprehensive risk management," said Dr. Jiraporn.
