STC will finalize the list of shareholders who will receive the interim dividend of 2023 in cash at a rate of 14% (owning 1 share will receive 1,400 VND / share). The ex-dividend date is 08/03 and the expected payment date is 05/04/2024.

With nearly 5.7 million outstanding shares, the company plans to allocate approximately 8 billion VND for this interim dividend. Currently, STC‘s parent company, Vietnam Education Publishing House, holds 52.54% of the capital, estimated to receive over 4 billion VND in dividends.

Reviewing the business results of 2023, STC recorded a revenue of 503 billion VND and pre-tax profit of 18 billion VND, a decrease of 2% and 5% respectively compared to 2022, but still enough to meet the profit plan set for shareholders.
