“Brother Overcoming Challenges 2024,” one of the largest and most anticipated year-end concerts, is about to take place on December 14. As of now, fans are still hunting for tickets, with many resorting to internal sales, sponsored tickets, invitations, and even the black market.
Previously, on November 12, just 40 minutes after tickets went on sale, the entire show was sold out, setting a record for the fastest-selling concert.
Along with the show’s popularity, the stock of its producer, YEG (Yeah1 Group Joint Stock Company), has also been on a roll in the stock market. On December 3, YEG witnessed a dramatic surge, reaching a high of VND 11,950 per share, the highest since the beginning of the year. Notably, the trading volume of this stock also hit a record high, with over 6 million shares changing hands.
Apart from the pre-concert hype, YEG’s stock momentum has been significantly boosted by the company’s financial results. Yeah1 recently revealed that its revenue for the third quarter of 2024 exceeded VND 345 billion, a threefold increase compared to the same period last year, and the highest since the fourth quarter of 2020. After deducting related expenses, the company reported a tenfold increase in profit, amounting to over VND 34 billion.
In addition to revenue from advertising and media, Yeah1 also generated VND 25 billion in financial activities during the quarter, including gains from the fair value of investments in associated companies, as well as interest income from deposits and loans.
For the first nine months of 2024, Yeah1 recorded a revenue of over VND 629 billion, more than 2.4 times higher, and a net profit of nearly VND 56 billion, 4.5 times higher than the same period in 2023.
Yeah1 has made its mark as the producer of the TV show “Brother Overcoming Challenges,” following the success of “Chị đẹp đạp gió” last year. The show features renowned artists such as Tự Long, Bằng Kiều, Tuấn Hưng, and Soobin Hoàng Sơn. “Brother Overcoming Challenges” has created a buzz in the community and attracted several big-name sponsors.
The show’s popularity has undoubtedly added to the heat on Yeah1’s stock, as it promises to bring significant revenue to the company.
