What Happened
HSC’s stock has been on a strong uptrend, rising about 65% from March lows, even as the broader market corrected. On August 11, the stock gained over 2% to close at 26,500 VND, a record high, lifting the company’s market cap to over 35.7 trillion VND.

Market Context
HCM trades on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE). The stock’s all-time high comes amid a challenging environment for securities stocks, with liquidity pressures across the sector. HSC’s outperformance is notable, with its market cap now exceeding 35.7 trillion VND. The company’s margin lending growth and improved brokerage market share (7.1% on HOSE in H1, up from 6.9%) are key differentiators.
Strategic Significance
HSC’s strong earnings and aggressive capital raising plans signal a strategic push to expand its margin lending capacity, a high-margin business. The planned rights issue of nearly 270 million shares at 10,000 VND/share will significantly boost equity, supporting further growth. This positions HSC to capitalize on market recovery and gain market share in a competitive environment. The company’s 2026 profit target of 1,841 billion VND (up 56% from 2025) appears achievable given H1 momentum.
What to Watch
- Completion and pricing of the rights issue, expected in late 2026.
- Q3/2026 earnings release, due in October, to see if margin lending growth sustains.
- Changes in margin loan balance and brokerage market share on HOSE.
- Regulatory developments affecting margin lending caps or capital requirements.
- Any further insider transactions by key shareholders.
