In the bustling “party” of the stock market, MBS Securities of MB Securities also made a breakthrough impression. The closing price on August 13 unexpectedly increased by almost 10%, reaching the peak of 40,100 VND/share.
Not stopping there, the liquidity of this stock also surged with a matching volume of over 18 million units, just a little less than the record at the end of July.
Since the beginning of the year, MBS stock has witnessed an increase of more than 40% in value, pushing the market capitalization of this securities company to nearly VND 23,000 billion.
MBS’s strong upward momentum occurred immediately before the enterprise prepared to close the dividend payment. Specifically, August 20 will be the last registration date for MBS to pay cash dividends for 2024 at a rate of 12%/share (1 share will receive VND 1,200). The expected payment date is September 19, 2025.
With nearly 573 million circulating shares, MB Securities is expected to pay about VND 687 billion for this dividend period. In the shareholder structure, Military Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MB) is the largest shareholder, owning more than 76% of the capital and is expected to receive more than VND 520 billion.
In 2025, MBS plans to offer 68.7 million shares at a price of VND 10,000/share. The entitlement ratio is 100:12 (shareholders owning 100 shares are entitled to buy 12 new shares).
At the same time, this securities company also plans to issue 17.18 million shares to increase charter capital from equity capital (bonus shares). The entitlement ratio is 100:3, meaning that for every 100 shares held, shareholders will receive 03 new shares.
In addition, MBS also plans to issue 8.59 million shares under the employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) at a price of VND 10,000/share. This issuance will be implemented after MBS completes the offering of shares to existing shareholders and issues bonus shares.
If all three issuances mentioned above are completed, MB Securities will increase the number of circulating shares from 572.78 million units to 667.29 million units, equivalent to a charter capital of VND 6,672.9 billion.
In terms of business results, in Q2/2025 alone, MBS recorded a 10% decrease in revenue compared to the same period last year, reaching VND 792 billion. As a result, pre-tax profit for Q2 reached VND 273 billion, up 1% over the same period in 2024.
For the first half of 2025, MBS’s operating revenue reached VND 1,461 billion, down 6% over the same period last year. However, good cost control helped net profit increase by 22% to VND 611 billion.
In a related development, according to Korea Herald, Dunamu Group (Korea) will cooperate with Military Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MB) to deploy the first domestic digital asset exchange in Vietnam.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by the two sides on Tuesday at the Vietnam-Korea Business Forum in Seoul, with the participation of business leaders from both countries.
According to the agreement, Dunamu will become an important strategic partner of MB, sharing technology and infrastructure, as well as providing advice on legal compliance, investor protection, and human resource development.
This cooperation takes place in the context that Vietnam is promoting the management of digital assets. Last July, the Law on Digital Technology Industry was passed, legalizing these types of assets and laying the foundation for a managed market.
