AIT (4.42) is one of the highest dividend payor on the SET, just slightly above 7%. It keeps reporting increased earnings, the last (3Q) being up 24%. So it much looks like the dividend will be increased as the first 9 months show 84% already of total earnings for all of last year. This stock trades well and is in a desirable growing sector. Business Type, describe as follows:
“A System Integrator or SI of computer system and computer communication, providing services in both the private and the public sector. Our service can be Turn Key Project including the consultation, project planning, system design, implementation, installation, training and maintenance.” AIT used to trade between 6-7 Baht not long ago, only to rock down on SET malaise of late.

AIT has been a stalwart in the industry for decades. Client base has historically been TOT, haven’t followed them properly for years..but yes always been a great dividend payer.
