What Happened
According to data compiled by the research desk, as of August 5, 2026, the majority of listed companies have published Q2 2026 earnings. The aggregate after-tax profit for the market rose 41.2% year-on-year, driven mainly by the real estate sector, which has now surpassed banking to become the largest sector by market capitalization. VHM, the largest real estate developer, reported a gross profit of VND 34,732 billion in Q2, up more than eight times from the same period last year, with gross margin approaching 66%. For the first half of 2026, VHM’s consolidated net profit reached VND 52,092 billion, up 380% year-on-year, achieving 87% of its full-year target. The growth was attributed to handovers at major projects such as Vinhomes Ocean Park 2, 3, and Vinhomes Green Paradise.
The banking sector also posted solid results, with 27 listed banks reporting combined pre-tax profit of nearly VND 111,000 billion in Q2 2026, up 25% year-on-year and 18% quarter-on-quarter.

Market Context
VHM closed at VND 156,000 on August 5, 2026, up 1.90% on volume of 7.1 million shares, reflecting positive market reaction to its earnings. The stock trades on HOSE. The broader market has been buoyed by the strong earnings season, with the VN-Index likely benefiting from the real estate sector’s outperformance. Banking stocks also saw mixed moves: VPB closed at VND 26,000 (+0.39%), while VCB fell 1.17% to VND 59,000. The shift in market cap leadership from banking to real estate underscores changing investor preferences toward growth sectors.
Strategic Significance
The Q2 2026 earnings season confirms that real estate, led by VHM, has become the key driver of market profitability, overtaking banking. This shift has strategic implications: investors may need to reassess sector weightings, as real estate now commands the largest market cap and contributes disproportionately to earnings growth. VHM’s strong performance, with 87% of its annual profit target achieved in just six months, suggests potential for upward revisions. However, the reliance on a few large developers raises concentration risk. For banks, the 25% profit growth, though solid, is below the market average, and the wide dispersion among banks (VPB +68% vs. SSB -55%) highlights the importance of stock selection.
