Several SET-listed firms (SCC, PTTEP, TU, SCCC, TRUE, GPSC, ADVANC and others) announced interim dividends for January-June 2026, with ex-dates between 5 and 20 August and payment dates in late August to early September. ADVANC pays 8.69 baht per share, SCC 3.50 and SCCC 4.00. These matter only if you hold shares in these companies. For a typical SME owner, this is background: it shows large firms' cash flow, not a change in tax, costs or lending.
