HCM CITY — SSI Securities Corporation targets consolidated net revenue of approximately VNĐ15.7 trillion (US$596 million) and pre-tax profit of around VNĐ5.8 trillion in 2026, representing year-on-year increases of roughly 19 per cent and 15 per cent, respectively.

The targets, along with capital raising plans and other proposals, were approved at the company’s 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders held in HCM City on Thursday.

CEO Nguyễn Đức Thông said that in 2025, SSI recorded consolidated net revenue of more than VNĐ13 trillion ($498 million) and post-tax profit of approximately VNĐ4 trillion, up 52 per cent and 43 per cent year on year, respectively, marking the highest levels in its 25-year history.

Its brokerage market share on the Hochiminh Stock Exchange reached a five-year high, extending a streak of five consecutive quarters of growth, while return on equity stood at 13.3 per cent.

This momentum continued into the first quarter of 2026, with consolidated pre-tax profit reaching nearly VNĐ1.6 trillion, the highest in the securities sector.

SSI expects Việt Nam’s economy to maintain strong momentum in 2026, supported by large scale infrastructure investment, resilient foreign direct investment inflows and a gradual recovery in consumption. The stock market is also expected to benefit from improving macroeconomic fundamentals and ongoing reforms, particularly the upgrade roadmap towards secondary emerging market status by FTSE Russell.

Vietnamese equities are set to be included in FTSE global indices under a four-phase roadmap starting from September 21, 2026. This is not merely a technical market development, but a structural turning point that opens the door to sustained inflows of global institutional capital into Việt Nam.

In this context, SSI is well positioned to become a key gateway for foreign capital inflows into Việt Nam, backed by its strong equity base, institutional expertise, and ability to mobilise international funding, Thông said.

Chairman Nguyễn Duy Hưng added that the company’s in-house developed core technology system allows easier integration with global brokers, further supporting its ability to serve foreign investors.

The company forecasts the VN-Index to fluctuate around the 1,800 point-level, with average daily trading value of about VNĐ28.5 trillion.

Looking ahead, SSI will continue to accelerate digital transformation, enhance customer experience and expand its financial services ecosystem, including broadening online product offerings.

The board also proposed a capital increase plan, including a bonus share issue at a ratio of 5:1, the continued implementation of a previously approved share issuance plan and an employee stock ownership plan for 2026. If completed, SSI’s charter capital is expected to reach around VNĐ30 trillion ($1.1 billion), maintaining its position as the largest securities firm in Việt Nam by charter capital.

The AGM also approved a 2025 dividend payout ratio of 30 per cent, including 10 per cent in cash and 20 per cent in shares. — BIZHUB
