Bualuang Securities continues to capitalize on the growth of future global megatrends by launching a new batch of eight Depositary Receipts representing single stocks across three key themes—Tech AI, Tech Lifestyle, and Tech Healthcare—enhancing Thai investors’ access to leading technology and innovation companies in the U.S. and Hong Kong-China markets through the Stock Exchange of Thailand. Trading will commence on Friday, January 9, 2026.
Pichet Sithi-Amnuai, President of Bualuang Securities Public Company Limited, stated that as Thailand’s first issuer of Depositary Receipt and currently the issuer with the broadest global market coverage and one of the largest DR market capitalizations in the industry, the company remains firmly committed to continuously expanding overseas investment options for Thai investors through DR01 products.
Most recently, Bualuang Securities has further broadened access to global megatrend stocks from the U.S. and Hong Kong–China markets with the launch of eight new DR01s spanning three key themes—Tech AI, Tech Lifestyle, and Tech Healthcare. As a result, Bualuang Securities now offers a total of 35 DR01s listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, covering equity indices from the U.S., China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, India, and Japan, as well as single stocks listed in the U.S., Hong Kong, and Europe. The eight newly launched DR01s comprise:

A key highlight of this DR batch is the introduction of four securities—MICRON01, CRM01, ISRG01, and BILIBILI01—as first-of-their-kind Depositary Receipts in Thailand, offering investors access to leading technology companies across the AI value chain, spanning semiconductors and memory, software platforms, digital content ecosystems, and intelligent medical robotics. These businesses are positioned for long-term structural growth driven by ongoing technological innovation.
“Continuously introducing DRs representing leading global megatrend stocks from the U.S. and Hong Kong–China markets into the Stock Exchange of Thailand aligns well with the rapid acceleration of AI technology adoption. Organizations worldwide are increasingly deploying AI to enhance operational efficiency. At the same time, emerging technologies such as AI chatbots—exemplified by ChatGPT—are acting as key catalysts for innovation, fundamentally reshaping how people live and work.” Pichet said.
Pichet added that Thai investors are increasingly utilizing DRs as a tool for risk diversification and return enhancement amid volatile market conditions. In 2025, total DR market capitalization across the industry reached approximately THB 53 billion (as of December 30, 2025), representing 80% growth compared with the end of 2024. Meanwhile, DR01s issued by Bualuang Securities—a subsidiary of Bangkok Bank and rated “AA” by TRIS Rating (as of December 2, 2025)—currently comprise 27 DRs with a combined market capitalization of around THB 16 billion (as of December 30, 2025), delivering an average total return of +17.3%, outperforming the SET Index, which declined by -6.4% in 2025.
The eight newly launched DR01s on single stocks will be listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand on Friday, January 9, 2026, through a Direct Listing process, without any prior subscription period as in a traditional IPO. Investors will be able to place buy and sell orders on the listing day. Further details are available on the prospectus and terms and conditions at https://www.bualuang.co.th/dr
