HSC plans to increase its charter capital by issuing shares to existing shareholders with a 50% offering ratio, equivalent to a subscription ratio of 2:1. Specifically, shareholders owning 1 share as of the record date will receive 1 subscription right, and those with 2 subscription rights will be able to purchase 1 new share at a price of VND 10,000 per share. The offering is expected to take place in 2025. If the issuance is successful, HSC will raise VND 3,600 billion, increasing its charter capital from VND 7,200 billion to VND 10,800 billion.
The proceeds from the capital raise are expected to be allocated to margin lending and proprietary trading activities. Approximately 70% (equivalent to VND 2,500 billion) will be used to expand margin lending activities, while the remaining 30% (VND 1,100 billion) will be allocated to proprietary trading.
This capital increase will enhance HSC’s financial capacity and strengthen its competitiveness in the market. With the new capital, the company can expand its margin lending activities, increase the NPF limit for foreign institutional investors, and participate more actively in capital arrangement for investment banking deals. A solid capital foundation will enable the company to develop an effective proprietary trading strategy, adapt flexibly to market changes, and increase profitability in the future.
According to the report at the General Meeting, HSC expects to achieve positive business results in 2024. The company forecasts revenue of VND 3,287 billion for 2024, a 46% increase from 2023; and pre-tax profit of VND 1,303 billion, a 55% rise from the previous year. Return on equity (ROE) is projected at 11.2%, higher than the previous year’s 8.3%, and earnings per share (EPS) is estimated at VND 1,771, a 20% increase.
