What Happened
CV Securities (CVS) released its Q2 2026 financial statements, revealing a net loss of 31 billion VND, the 16th consecutive quarterly loss. The loss was exacerbated by a 27 billion VND other loss, which offset strong growth in lending income (up 370% to about 2 billion VND). Operating revenue declined 4% year-on-year to over 8 billion VND, with brokerage fees contributing 2 billion VND.
In the first half of 2026, CVS generated nearly 16 billion VND in operating revenue, up 50% from H1 2025, but pre-tax losses widened to over 36 billion VND. Total assets decreased by 32 billion VND to 285 billion VND, primarily due to a 147 billion VND reduction in HTM investments (bank deposits). Margin lending stood at 61 billion VND.
Market Context
CVS, listed on UPCOM, has been loss-making for 16 consecutive quarters, reflecting persistent operational challenges. The company’s accumulated losses of 181 billion VND now exceed its charter capital, raising solvency concerns. The securities sector in Vietnam has seen mixed performance, with larger players benefiting from market recovery, but smaller firms like CVS struggle to achieve scale. MoMo’s parent M_Service acquired 49% of CVS in 2022, but the investment has yet to yield returns.
Strategic Significance
For long-term investors, CVS’s prolonged losses highlight the difficulty of turning around a small securities firm without a clear competitive edge. The affiliation with MoMo could provide synergies in digital payments and retail brokerage, but so far these have not materialized. The 27 billion VND other loss in Q2 2026 suggests potential write-downs or provisions, which may indicate underlying asset quality issues. M_Service’s continued 49% stake signals strategic commitment, but the path to profitability remains unclear.
What to Watch
- Q3 2026 financial statements for any improvement in revenue or cost control.
- Details on the 27 billion VND other loss—whether it is a one-off or recurring.
- Any capital increases or restructuring plans announced by CVS or M_Service.
- Changes in margin lending balance and asset quality.
- Regulatory actions if accumulated losses continue to erode capital adequacy.
