Techcombank sets a 50% stock dividend for Vietnam Technological & Commercial stock

Vietnam Technological & Commercial (VN000000TCB8) will issue 3,543,120,207 shares under a 50 percent stock dividend plan, according to 24HMoney on October 20, 2026. The record date is October 30, while the expected ex-dividend date is October 29. The announcement gives investors a concrete timetable before the bank presents its third-quarter results.

A larger capital base

The stock dividend forms the main part of a broader capital increase. VietnamPlus reported on October 13, 2026, that Vietnam Technological and Commercial had received approval to raise charter capital by up to VND 35.730 trillion. The planned total would reach VND 106.593 trillion after the stock dividend and an employee stock ownership plan.

The share issue is funded from retained earnings rather than a cash placement. That structure preserves the bank's existing capital while increasing the number of shares outstanding, so the October 29 adjustment date matters as much as the headline 50 percent ratio.

Three dated steps

On September 8, 2026, shareholders approved the VND 35.730 trillion capital plan. On October 13, 2026, regulatory approval covered the same maximum increase. On October 20, 2026, the bank set the 50 percent dividend timetable and disclosed the 3,543,120,207-share issue, according to 24HMoney.

What follows for earnings?

The next operating test is the third quarter. Techcombank's investor page schedules its 3Q26 earnings call for October 22, 2026, and reports first-half 2026 profit before tax of VND 18.5 trillion, up 22.5 percent year over year; total operating income rose 17.5 percent to VND 28.6 trillion, according to Techcombank.

The next two dates

October 22, 2026 is the scheduled third-quarter earnings call, followed by October 29, 2026, the expected ex-dividend date. The October 30, 2026 record date then determines eligibility for the stock distribution, according to the October 20 notice carried by 24HMoney.

Capital remains the key variable

For investors, the plan links a larger capital base with a near-term earnings date. The first-half figures provide the current operating benchmark, while the October distribution schedule defines the next corporate action.
