What Happened

The figures were disclosed in the companies’ Q3/2026 financial statements published on the morning of 23 October 2026. MSR’s swing is the headline: a VND 2,270 billion quarterly pre-tax profit against a near-zero base a year earlier, lifting the nine-month result to VND 4,599 billion from a VND 184 billion loss in the comparable 2025 period. The filing summary does not break out the revenue, gross margin or one-off components behind the jump.

The broader batch was mixed. ABB and IDP both turned in strong profit growth, with IDP moving from a VND 196 billion quarterly loss to a VND 259 billion profit. PGB grew nine-month profit 27% despite a 10% dip in the third quarter. BCE’s 12.6x quarterly increase came off a very small base, and its nine-month profit of VND 15 billion remains modest. DDV’s quarterly profit fell 96%, and PAP stayed loss-making, though the quarterly loss narrowed slightly.

Market Context

MSR closed at VND 63,000 on 22 October 2026 on UPCOM, the exchange where the tungsten and advanced materials unit trades. ABB closed at VND 17,700 and PGB at VND 9,600 on the same date, while IDP last printed at VND 260,000 on 5 October 2026. The results land in a Vietnamese reporting season where earnings dispersion across banks, materials and real estate is wide, and where UPCOM- and HNX-listed names often react to filings with thinner liquidity than HOSE large caps.

Strategic Significance

For MSR, the nine-month swing from a VND 184 billion loss to a VND 4,599 billion pre-tax profit is the number that matters for the long-term thesis: it suggests the tungsten and advanced materials platform has moved from a cyclical trough into a materially different earnings regime. Whether that holds depends on underlying commodity realisations and the cost base, neither of which the summary discloses. For ABB and IDP, the results reinforce a recovery narrative in retail banking and dairy respectively; for DDV, the 96% quarterly decline points to margin pressure in fertiliser chemicals that nine-month numbers only partly mask.
