What Happened
Hoa Sen Group released its estimated consolidated business results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2025-2026 (October 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026). The company reported that Q3 net profit rose 39% year-on-year to 382 billion VND, driven by a 5% increase in revenue to about 10,000 billion VND and stable margins. The strong quarterly performance pushed nine-month net profit to 568 billion VND, exceeding the full-year profit target approved at the annual general meeting (Plan 1) by 14%.
Management attributed the results to robust domestic demand supported by accelerated public investment and a gradual recovery in construction activity. The company’s extensive production network of nine factories and over 400 branches and stores nationwide continues to provide competitive advantages. Additionally, HSG is diversifying export markets to mitigate trade protectionism risks.
Market Context
HSG shares closed at 11,350 VND on July 12, 2026, down 1.30% on volume of 1.76 million shares. At this price, the stock trades at a price-to-book ratio of approximately 0.77x based on the stated book value of 14,700 VND per share. The steel sector on HOSE has been under pressure from global trade tensions and volatile raw material costs, but HSG’s earnings beat provides a positive counterpoint. The company’s focus on domestic retail through Hoa Sen Home stores differentiates it from pure-play steel exporters.
Strategic Significance
HSG’s ability to exceed its profit target with one quarter remaining in the fiscal year demonstrates operational resilience and effective cost management. The ongoing expansion of Hoa Sen Home, a chain of building material and furniture supermarkets, positions HSG to capture more value from the domestic construction cycle. This retail strategy, combined with a flexible export approach, reduces dependence on any single market. The strong balance sheet and high book value provide a margin of safety for long-term investors.
