VN-Index surges 1.81% to 1,640.7 points, breaking through the psychological barrier and spreading green. The market’s liquidity reached 58.4 trillion VND, one of the highest levels in recent weeks, indicating optimism despite foreign investors’ net selling of over 2,400 billion VND. Finance and real estate sectors led the market in both the upward momentum and liquidity.

On August 14, shares of SCR, Saigon Thuong Tin Real Estate Joint Stock Company (TTC Land), rose 5.05% to 10,400 VND/share, up more than 76% in the last three months and hitting its highest level since September 2022. This is the first time SCR has reached a double-digit price after a long period of trading at low levels, even dipping below 5,000 VND/share at one point. This development occurs amid a buoyant broader market.

A favorable macroeconomic environment plays a crucial role. Policy rates and deposit rates remain low, while credit has been unblocked for feasible projects, especially in real estate, reducing capital costs and encouraging a shift in funds from savings to securities. With its unique characteristics of financial leverage and strategic land banks, TTC Land benefits doubly from this trend while reinforcing investors’ expectations about improved profit margins in the coming quarters.

However, alongside market factors, SCR‘s growth in the first half of 2025 is underpinned by the company’s impressive financial results. TTC Land reported a net profit of 31 billion VND, nearly 26 times higher than the same period last year, surpassing the full-year profit target. TTC Land attributed this growth to its leasing and construction operations, as well as effective sales and project development strategies.

In May, the company topped out and handed over the commercial block of the TTC Plaza Da Nang project to AeonMall Vietnam and signed a management contract for the TUI SUNEO hotel within the project with the international tourism brand TUI Hotels & Resorts. Simultaneously, TTC Land introduced its “Dao Kim Quy” brand for a large-scale resort and entertainment island project.

According to several securities companies, SSI Research expects the VN-Index to target the 1,750 – 1,800 range in 2026. The primary driver is the robust recovery in profit growth, supported by four factors: the rebound in the real estate market and public investment; favorable interest rate environment; easing concerns over tariff risks; and, notably, the anticipated market upgrade in October.

VPBankS experts noted that in the second quarter of 2025, the market’s profit increased by approximately 33% year-on-year, the fastest pace since the post-COVID-19 period. The leading sectors included real estate, electricity, retail, aviation, rubber, and fertilizers, which generally grew above the low base of the previous year.

SCR’s resurgence is an early indicator of investors’ optimism about the sector’s recovery. However, sustaining this growth will require TTC Land to continue managing financial risks, ensuring project progress and quality, and capitalizing on opportunities presented by the real estate sector’s recovery cycle.
