Financial income surged by 18% to VND 9.5 billion. After expenses, the company’s net profit for the nine-month period stood at approximately VND 65 billion, reflecting a 9% growth compared to the same period last year.
These results demonstrate WCS’s progress towards its annual goals, achieving 73% of its revenue target and 84% of its profit objective.
