State-Owned Bank Shares Surge, CTG Breaks Records with Record Profits

In the first week of 2026, shares of state-owned banks attracted significant capital flows due to positive financial results for 2025 and expectations from the resolution on the development of state-owned enterprises. Notably, CTG shares from VietinBank stood out, rising 14% compared to the end of 2025 to reach 40,750 VND/share, with record trading volume. VietinBank reported a pre-tax profit growth of 37%, exceeding 41 trillion VND, while BIDV also recorded a profit of over 36 trillion VND, though lower than VietinBank. Vietcombank did not disclose specific figures but fulfilled its targets. Both domestic and foreign investors are favoring these shares due to Resolution 79 allowing retained profits for capital increases. YSVN predicts that Vietcombank will reach the Top 100 in Asia, while BIDV and VietinBank will benefit from the new policy, enabling significant credit expansion.
