EVF

Foreign investors net sold VND 6,245.2 billion (approx. USD 250 million) in the week ending May 23, 2026, driving the VN-Index down 2.31%. Selling pressure was broad-based, with real estate stocks hit hardest, while banks like VCB, MSB, and BID saw net buying.

EVF has appointed Mr. Tong Nhat Linh as Deputy General Director and Ms. Dao Thi Lan as Chief Accountant, effective May 15, 2026, following a board resolution. The move supports EVF's 2026 profit target of over VND 1,000 billion and its goal to become a billion-dollar company.

EVF has raised a $25 million loan from the OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID), the first time an OPEC fund has invested in a non-bank financial institution in Vietnam. The proceeds will be used to expand financing for small and medium-sized enterprises, supporting EVF's growth strategy and Vietnam's private sector development.

DGC is removed from VN30, VN100, and other HOSE indices effective May 13, 2026, after failing to submit its audited 2025 financial report on time. BSR takes the VN30 slot, while BAF and EVF move up in related indices. The delay stems from the arrest of DGC's chairman and vice chairman, disrupting the audit process.

DGC was removed from the VN30 index after being placed under control status for failing to submit its 2025 audited financial statements on time, with BSR taking its place. The removal also extends to VN100, VNAllshare, VNMITECH, and VN50 Growth indices, where BAF and EVF are added as replacements. The index changes reflect the ongoing governance crisis at DGC following the arrest of its chairman and vice chairman.

EVF reported Q1 2026 net profit growth of 8.1% year-on-year, completing about 24.9% of its full-year profit plan. The company maintained a low cost-to-income ratio of 11.01% and a non-performing loan ratio of 0.83%, reflecting disciplined credit management and operational efficiency.
