VPBank Earns Nearly VND 18.9 Trillion: Read the Sources
VPBank’s consolidated pre-tax profit rose 68% in the first half. The more useful question is where that growth came from and what the detailed accounts still need to prove.
Hoa Phat containers: Sales proven, profits still untested
More than 4,000 container shells delivered in Q2 confirm a commercial outlet for Hoa Phat. The missing evidence is revenue and margin before the new business can support an HPG earnings case.
CII's VND 27,094 billion facility: The disbursement test
The credit agreement clarifies funding for the HCMC-Trung Luong-My Thuan expressway expansion. Its value for CII shareholders now rests on disbursement, construction progress and eventual toll cash flow.
More deposit accounts, still one VND 350 million limit
