KIS Vietnam Securities JSC has released its Q2 2024 financial report, revealing impressive growth with operating revenue reaching VND 653 billion, a 69% increase compared to the same period last year. This significant boost is mainly attributed to the surge in profit from financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), which soared by 162% to VND 356 billion.
Additionally, profit from loans and receivables also witnessed a notable 23% uptick, contributing VND 157 billion. Similarly, securities brokerage revenue increased by 25% year-over-year to reach VND 112 billion.
