In Q3 2024, DSC reported robust proprietary trading activities, with a pre-tax profit of approximately VND 48 billion, accounting for 56% of the profit structure, and an increase of 847% compared to the same period last year. From the beginning of the year until now, proprietary trading has brought in VND 51 billion (exceeding the annual plan by 535%).
As of June 30, 2024, in the FVTPL asset portfolio, DSC held over VND 299 billion in listed shares, with the largest investment being in ACB, with a book value of VND 98.5 billion. Compared to the beginning of the year, DSC has invested VND 70 billion in CTG, VND 62.5 billion in HCM, VND 51 billion in MBB, and an additional VND 15 billion in OCB…
On the other hand, the company sold off its investments in FPT with a book value of VND 68 billion, SSI with VND 71 billion, and VAB with VND 3 billion.
In Q3, the company also recorded a pre-tax profit of VND 34 billion from securities brokerage services, bringing the total profit for the first nine months to VND 104 billion (64% of the annual plan). Regarding capital utilization, as of the end of Q3, DSC‘s total lending value was estimated at VND 1,720 billion, a 31% increase compared to the same period last year.
CFO Tran Minh Toan stated: “Revenue from lending activities has remained stable and ensured the growth of DSC throughout 2024. Additionally, the significant decrease in the market interest rate for margin loans has somewhat impacted the revenue from deposits and a few other activities of DSC. However, this is a common issue in the securities industry, and adjustments will be made to better suit the next phase.”
For the first nine months of 2024, DSC is estimated to have achieved VND 388 billion in revenue, fulfilling 92% of the annual plan, and a pre-tax profit of approximately VND 184 billion, meeting 92% of the annual target.
According to Mr. Toan, the strategy for managing and optimizing human resources and capital has directly contributed to the nine-month business results, especially in Q3 2024. DSC‘s CIR ratio has decreased from 66% in 2023 to 53% in 2024.
Regarding future plans, DSC‘s leadership shared that, in addition to completing the management and business plan presented at the 2024 AGM, the company will focus on upgrading its information technology infrastructure and improving and expanding its digital services and products based on the needs of customers and investors.
In related news, on September 24, the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HOSE) approved the listing of more than 204.8 million DSC shares with a par value of VND 10,000/share, corresponding to a total listing value of over VND 2,048 billion.
