Management noted that the increase in borrowing and financial costs is typical during an expansionary investment phase.

Market Context
GEX shares closed at VND 20,700 on July 29, 2026. The stock has been supported by the company’s consistent earnings growth and its exposure to Vietnam’s infrastructure and industrial park development themes. The H1 results reinforce GEX’s position as a beneficiary of the country’s ongoing investment cycle, though rising financial costs and leverage remain points of investor attention.
Strategic Significance
GELEX’s H1 performance demonstrates the resilience of its core businesses amid a period of heavy capital expenditure. The company’s strategy of investing now for long-term growth, particularly in infrastructure and industrial parks, aligns with Vietnam’s structural economic drivers. The high profit completion rate (72.2% of full-year target) provides a buffer against potential headwinds, while the asset buildup positions GELEX for a new growth cycle once projects become operational.
