Thai AIS has record Q2 net profit, beats forecasts

Thailand's top mobile phone operator, Advanced Info Service PCL ADVA.BK, posted record quarterly earnings that beat expectations on Wednesday, driven by rising subscriber numbers and a one-off gain.

AIS, 21.4 percent-owned by Singapore Telecommunications Ltd (STEL.SI: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), posted April-June net profit of 6.3 billion baht ($187 million), up 73 percent from 3.66 billion baht a year earlier.

The result beat an average 5.8 billion baht forecast in a Reuters survey of 10 analysts.

AIS, valued at $7.9 billion, has about 50 percent of the domestic mobile phone market. It booked a gain of 1.2 billion baht from a settlement with rival Total Access Communication DTAC.BK (TACC.SI: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) to end a dispute over unpaid network fees.

AIS stock, which trades at 14.1 times forecast earnings compared with Total Access's 11, fell 7.5 percent in the April-June period, underperforming a 6 percent decline in the main Thai index .SETI. ($1=33.65 Baht) (Reporting by Khettiya Jittapong; Editing by Louise Heavens)
