What Happened
On July 23, 2026, HD Securities (HDS) released its Q2/2026 financial statements, revealing a pre-tax profit of VND 1,118 billion, nearly quadruple the VND 284 billion reported in the same period last year.

For the first half of 2026, cumulative realized and unrealized profits were VND 1,351 billion and VND 119 billion, respectively.
