Bangkok: REAL25’s first day of trading on the LiVEx exchange saw its stock rise by 19.50%, starting at 25.25 baht, which is an increase of 4.12 baht from its initial public offering (IPO) price of 21.13 baht. The event was marked by an unexpected appearance from Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, who participated in the opening ceremony and posed for pictures, adding excitement to the proceedings.

According to Thai News Agency, the launch was attended by key figures including Mr. Prapan Charoenprawat, Manager of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (LiVEx), and Mr. Phukit Distharanon, CEO of Real Smart Public Company Limited. The company, trading under the name “REAL25,” aims to position itself as a leader in data analysis technology, targeting a 30% annual growth in revenue and profits. The funds raised from the IPO will be directed towards investing in artificial intelligence (AI) technology, developing Software as a Service (SaaS), and expanding their market presence, particularly in the Asian region.

Mr. Phukit Distharanon elaborated on the strategic goals, emphasizing the development of new products and personnel to enhance their competitiveness. Despite a projected net loss of 37.34 million baht in 2024 due to ongoing investments in platform and technology development, the company remains optimistic about its growth trajectory. They anticipate listing on the Market for Alternative Investment (MAI) by 2027 as part of their five-year business plan.

According to the Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA), Thailand’s AI Revolution market is expected to reach at least 114 billion baht by 2030, contributing about 6% to the national GDP. The Data Analytics Software market is also projected to grow significantly, with an estimated market value of 92 billion baht by 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.3%.
