What Happened
On June 8, 2026, VinFast Auto Ltd. announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Revenue rose 41.7% year-on-year to VND 23,111.1 billion ($920.7 million), primarily driven by a 61% increase in EV sales in Vietnam and growing contributions from international markets including India, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The company maintained its leadership in the Vietnamese EV market since September 2024, with domestic EV deliveries up 53% YoY.
In the e-scooter segment, VinFast delivered 143,136 units in Q1, a 219% increase, and received a record 135,000 orders in March alone. The company now holds a 17% share of Vietnam’s total motorcycle market (including ICE) in March, leading the electric segment. VinFast also expanded its global retail footprint to 447 showrooms and signed MOUs with 29 aftermarket partners to establish service workshops, targeting over 1,100 locations globally in 2026.

VinFast shares (VFS) closed at 10,400 on June 8, down 5.45% on volume of 2,020,700 shares, reflecting broader market sentiment or profit-taking following the earnings release. The company is listed on the Nasdaq (VFS) and is part of the Vingroup ecosystem.

The partnership with NVIDIA and Autobrains for Level 4 robotaxis signals a long-term bet on autonomous driving technology, potentially differentiating VinFast from other EV makers in the region. The rapid growth in e-scooter sales also highlights a successful strategy to capture the two-wheeler electrification trend in Vietnam, which could provide a stable revenue base as the company invests in global expansion.
