Vietcombank stock (ISIN VN000000VCB4) is tied to a planned capital raise valued at US 1.2 billion, while the shares were last at VND 57,200 on HOSE on October 7, 2026. The transaction would involve 6.5 percent of the bank's shares by year-end, according to Reuters on October 7, 2026.

Capital raise targets foreign investors

Reuters reported that Vietcombank, Vietnam's largest lender, plans to sell the stake by the end of 2026 as Vietnamese banks seek new equity to support loan growth. The report placed Vietcombank's transaction within a broader wave of bank share sales that could reach US 7 billion.

The planned offering gives the stock a capital-allocation angle beyond quarterly earnings. The bank's largest foreign investor, Mizuho Bank, holds 15 percent and may increase its position, according to shareholder-meeting minutes cited by Reuters.

Q3 forecast points to higher profit

MBS forecasts Vietcombank's Q3/2026 net profit at VND 11,653 billion, up 29.1 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, according to VnBusiness on September 28, 2026. The same forecast puts pretax profit at VND 14,567 billion, an increase of 30 percent year over year.

Net interest income is projected at VND 19,571 billion, up 34 percent, while credit growth is expected at 9 percent from the start of 2026. The forecast also sees provisions declining 11 percent, linking the expected earnings increase to both loan expansion and lower credit costs.
