What Happened
Mekong Fisheries (AAM) reported a sharp divergence between revenue and profit. Revenue plunged 73.9% to 16.8 billion VND, yet net profit tripled to 3.4 billion VND. The company did not provide a detailed explanation, but the profit jump likely reflects cost reductions or non-recurring gains. For the first half of 2026, net profit rose 147% to 5.8 billion VND on revenue of 50.2 billion VND.
Hoa Sen Group (HSG) released estimated results for its fiscal third quarter (April-June 2026). Q3 net profit was estimated at 382 billion VND, contributing to a 9-month total of 568 billion VND. Revenue for Q3 was estimated at 10,000 billion VND, with 9-month revenue reaching 27,358 billion VND. The figures suggest a strong recovery in the steel sector.
Lam Dong Water Supply (LDW) reported a slight decline in pretax profit for Q2 (-7%) and the first half (-4%). Ben Thanh Rubber (BRC) posted modest growth, with pretax profit up 15% in Q2 and 13% in 6M.
Market Context
AAM closed at 6,600 VND on July 13, 2026, on HOSE. The stock has been under pressure due to weak revenue trends, but the profit surge may provide short-term support. HSG closed at 11,250 VND on HOSE, reflecting cautious sentiment in the steel sector. LDW and BRC trade on HOSE with limited liquidity. The mixed earnings reports come amid a broader market recovery, with the VN-Index hovering near 1,200 points.
Strategic Significance
AAM’s profit surge despite collapsing revenue raises questions about sustainability. Investors should scrutinize whether the profit is driven by one-off items or structural cost improvements. HSG’s strong Q3 estimate signals that steel demand and margins may be improving, which could benefit the entire sector. LDW’s slight profit decline suggests stable but unexciting operations, while BRC’s moderate growth reflects steady rubber demand.
What to Watch
- AAM’s Q2 2026 full financial statement for details on cost savings or non-recurring items.
- HSG’s official Q3 report and management commentary on demand and pricing.
- Steel sector data for July-September 2026 to gauge sustainability of HSG’s recovery.
- LDW and BRC upcoming quarterly results for trend confirmation.
- Any dividend or capital management announcements from these companies.
