PYN Elite Fund Anticipates Sacombank’s Imminent “Value Unlock”

The Finnish investment fund PYN Elite has released its December 2025 report, revealing a nearly 3% portfolio growth, primarily driven by the strong performance of two banking stocks: HDBank (HDB) and Sacombank (STB). This achievement comes amidst a highly polarized Vietnamese stock market, despite the VN-Index closing the year at a record high.

By the end of December, the VN-Index surged by 5.5%, closing at an unprecedented 1,784 points. However, the market’s rally was predominantly driven by stocks within the Vingroup ecosystem, while overall liquidity showed signs of contraction. As of December 24, credit growth reached nearly 18%, significantly outpacing deposit growth of 14%, which exerted upward pressure on interest rates in the final weeks of the year.

Amid this backdrop, PYN Elite recorded a 2.9% increase in December, boosting its full-year performance to 17.38%, albeit modest compared to the VN-Index‘s 41% surge.

The fund highlights that Sacombank is poised for a significant catalyst following the appointment of its new Acting CEO—a highly regarded leader with a proven track record of transformative leadership during his tenure as Chairman of LPBank.

According to the Finnish fund, this move signals that Sacombank is entering the final stages of its multi-year restructuring process, raising expectations of “unlocking value” in the near future.

On the macroeconomic front, Vietnam’s GDP grew by 8.5% year-on-year in Q4/2025, pushing full-year growth above 8%. The industrial and construction sectors led with a 9% increase, followed by services at 8.6%. Total exports reached $475 billion (up 17%), while imports climbed to $455 billion (up 19.4%).

A notable highlight in December was the simultaneous groundbreaking, inauguration, and technical operation of 234 major projects nationwide on December 19, with a combined investment of over $137 billion. PYN Elite believes these large-scale projects will lay the foundation for Vietnam’s ambitious 10% GDP growth target in 2026.
