In 2023, Vinaconex set a revenue target of VND16.34 trillion ($695.67 million), up 70% year-on-year, and after-tax profit of VND860 billion ($36.61 million), down 8%.
In 2022, the corporation recorded after-tax profit of VND1.05 trillion ($44.74 million), up 101% year-on-year, fulfilling 75% of its target. Its consolidated net revenue was VND8.63 trillion ($368 million), up 50%, or 56.3% of the target.
As of December 31, 2022, Vinaconex's total assets stood at VND32.29 trillion ($1.38 billion), up 4% compared to the beginning of the year, the majority of which were short-term receivables worth nearly VND9.4 trillion ($401 million).
On the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange, the VCG share price hit VND20,750 ($0.88) per unit at Tuesday's close. Its corresponding market capitalization was approximately VND10.08 trillion ($429.24 million).
