True Corporation has earned prestigious recognition at the Extel 2026 Asia Executive Team survey and the 2025 Investment Analysts Association (IAA) Awards, acknowledging the company’s three-year strategic effort to clearly communicate its complex telecom transformation. The recognition highlights the effectiveness of True’s investor relations (IR) team in fostering market trust through transparency, consistency, and rigorous data-backed messaging following its 2023 amalgamation.
Transparent Strategy Drives Recognized Financial Momentum
In an environment where financial data is readily accessible, True’s IR strategy focused on delivering critical context, strategic reasoning, and operational visibility to capital markets. Led by Group Chief Executive Sigve Brekke and Chief Financial Officer Nakul Sehgal, True reported its sixth consecutive quarter of profitability in Q2 2026, delivering a Net Profit After Tax of THB 6.6 billion and EBITDA of THB 28.3 billion—a 13.5% increase year-on-year—alongside an approved interim dividend of THB 0.15 per share.
“Our role is to separate what is important from what is interesting,” said Naureen Quayum, Head of Investor Relations at True Corporation, emphasizing the shift toward evidence-based reporting. “Transparency becomes most important when the news is negative.” She noted that transformation is rarely linear, adding, “Maintaining trust will always be more important than receiving it.” She also highlighted the human element in an automated market, stating that while AI can analyze data quickly, “context, judgment and trust remain human.”
Executive & Individual Accolades Across Asia Telecom
The sell-side results of the Extel 2026 Asia Executive Team survey (ex-Japan/ANZ) ranked Naureen Quayum No. 2 among IR professionals in Asia’s telecommunications sector and No. 3 in Thailand. Additionally, True Corporation received broad recognition across the CEO, CFO, and Investor Relations categories at the 2025 IAA Awards for Listed Companies, reflecting a cross-functional corporate effort across finance, strategy, commercial, legal, and communications departments to maintain continuous market feedback and dialogue.
