The company set the record date for 15/9/2026 and expects to pay shareholders on 15/10/2026.

In its business update, VGI reported robust H1 2026 results: revenue reached VND 26,178 billion, up 29% year-on-year, while net profit surged 122% to VND 6,334 billion. The growth was driven by all key regions, with Africa contributing the largest share of revenue (VND 6,884 billion in Q2, up 26%), followed by Southeast Asia (VND 4,936 billion, up 32%) and Latin America (VND 1,791 billion, up 28%).
Market Context
VGI trades on the UPCOM exchange, with shares closing at VND 87,400 on 26/8/2026, giving the company a market capitalization of about VND 267,000 billion (over USD 10 billion). The stock has been supported by strong earnings momentum and the record dividend announcement. In the broader Vietnamese market, telecom and technology stocks have attracted investor interest, and VGI’s overseas operations provide diversification from domestic cyclical sectors.
Strategic Significance
The record dividend underscores VGI’s strong cash generation and profitability, driven by its portfolio of telecom operations in emerging markets across Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. The 122% jump in H1 net profit highlights the scalability of its business model and successful cost management. For long-term investors, the dividend signals confidence in sustained earnings, while the parent Viettel Group’s near-total ownership means the payout largely flows back to the state-owned conglomerate, potentially supporting its broader investment agenda.
