For the first half of 2026, cumulative revenue was VND 35,034 billion (+17.7%) and net profit was VND 5,643 billion (+38.4%).

Market Context
VNM, listed on HOSE, closed at VND 59,000 on August 6, 2026, before the surge. The stock had been trading around VND 55,000 in early July, meaning the recent rally represents a gain of about 15% in just over a month. The positive earnings report comes amid a broader recovery in Vietnam’s consumer staples sector, as domestic consumption rebounds and export markets strengthen. The strong volume and price action suggest renewed institutional interest in the stock.
Strategic Significance
Vinamilk’s improving financial performance signals a successful execution of its growth strategy, which includes expanding export markets and leveraging its subsidiary network. The company’s ability to grow net profit faster than revenue indicates improving operational efficiency and margin expansion. For long-term investors, this earnings beat reinforces Vinamilk’s position as a defensive growth play in Vietnam’s consumer sector, with potential for continued upside if the domestic recovery and export momentum persist.
