HAG shares of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group (HAGL) have been listed on the stock market since December 2008, with an initial market capitalization of VND 8,522 billion. After 17 years, HAGL’s market cap has doubled to VND 16,548 billion. However, this growth is primarily attributed to private placements issued by HAGL to investors.

Meanwhile, investors adopting a ‘penny-wise’ strategy—buying one HAG share daily—would still be at a loss after 17 years.

Specifically, an investor spending VND 92.2 million over 17 years would hold 5,358 shares, valued at only VND 83.8 million, resulting in a 9% loss.

Historical data reveals peak losses of 87% in March 2020. Conversely, the highest profit was recorded in September 2009, reaching 97% just under a year after HAGL’s IPO.

According to Q2/2025 financial reports, net revenue surged by over 50% year-on-year to VND 2,329 billion.

Consequently, gross profit and net operating profit nearly doubled compared to the same period last year. Post-tax profit reached VND 483 billion, up 86%.

For the first six months, HAGL reported VND 3,709 billion in net revenue and VND 824 billion in post-tax profit, increasing 34% and 73% respectively compared to H1/2024.

These results enabled HAGL to achieve VND 400 billion in undistributed post-tax profit as of June 30, 2025—the first time since Q4/2020 the company has escaped cumulative losses.

Previously, HAGL faced significant losses in 2015 and 2018. In 2020, despite reporting VND 492 billion in undistributed post-tax profit through Q3/2020, the figure abruptly shifted to -VND 5,085 billion in Q4/2020, further adjusted to -VND 6,301 billion in the audited report, shocking shareholders.
