What Happened
In a sector report, MB Securities (MBS) provided its Q2 2026 earnings outlook for the Vietnamese market. The brokerage expects overall profit growth of 15% year-on-year, despite rising oil prices and inflation pressures. The transportation sector is forecast to lead with 65% growth, primarily due to an extraordinary profit item at Gemadept (GMD). Industrial real estate follows with 58% growth, driven by higher land compensation income at Phuoc Hoa Rubber (PHR) and Vietnam Rubber Group (GVR).
Retail sector profits are expected to rise 34%, supported by modern retail chains such as WinCommerce and Bach Hoa Xanh, which are seeing same-store sales growth above 20%. Oil & gas profits may increase 28% as Brent crude remains around USD 97 per barrel and key projects accelerate. On the downside, aviation profits are forecast to drop 61%, and export sector profits to fall 35% due to rising costs.
Market Context
GMD closed at VND 75,300 on July 2, 2026, up 1.35% on volume of 1.59 million shares. PHR closed at VND 65,100, up 2.52%, while GVR closed at VND 33,000, down 0.45%. All three stocks trade on HOSE. The industrial real estate sector has been buoyed by strong FDI inflows, with disbursed FDI reaching USD 8.1 billion in the first five months of 2026, up 11% year-on-year. The transportation sector, led by GMD, has seen increased investor interest ahead of the earnings season.
Strategic Significance
The MBS report highlights that industrial real estate is entering a new development cycle, supported by Resolution 10-NQ/TW, which promotes a shift from traditional industrial parks to eco-friendly, smart, and high-tech zones. Companies with large undeveloped land banks, such as PHR and GVR, stand to benefit from land conversion and compensation payments. For GMD, the extraordinary profit suggests a one-time gain that may not be recurring, but it underscores the company’s strong operational performance in port and logistics operations.

- Q2 2026 earnings reports from GMD, PHR, and GVR, expected in late July.
- Land compensation payment schedules for PHR and GVR, which could drive further profit surprises.
- FDI disbursement data for June and Q3 2026, as a key driver for industrial real estate demand.
- Brent crude oil price movements and their impact on oil & gas sector profits.
