In terms of business results, in Q1/2025, HDCapital generated nearly 573 million VND in revenue, a 28% decrease compared to Q1/2024. The largest contributor was investment portfolio management, followed by fund management and investment consulting.

With revenue unable to cover expenses, the company incurred a net loss of nearly 2 billion VND, higher than the loss of about 1 billion VND in the same period last year.

Contrasting HDCapital’s sell-off, FCN’s Vice Chairman, Mr. Tran Trong Thang, purchased 77,000 FCN shares during April 14-May 13, out of the registered 200,000 shares. The Vice Chairman has frequently traded FCN shares in the past.

In Q1/2025, FCN reported a 34% increase in revenue but still posted a loss of nearly 7 billion VND, marking the second consecutive quarterly loss as financial expenses continued to weigh on performance. This makes the target of earning 200 billion VND this year more challenging.
