HDBank honored Chairman Kim Byoungho after he was named among Viet Nam's top 10 outstanding business leaders for 2021-25 and received the Outstanding Vietnamese Entrepreneur award on October 11, 2026, according to Malay Mail. The award puts management execution alongside the bank's expanding balance sheet and capital program.

Three milestones shape the story

On September 22, 2026, HDBank received approval to raise charter capital by up to VND 22.015 trillion, taking the planned total above VND 72.069 trillion, as Investing.com reported. On October 2, 2026, Tin nhanh chung khoan reported that the bank set October 12, 2026, as the record date for a 25 percent stock dividend and a 5 percent bonus issue. On October 11, 2026, Kim Byoungho received the national business award, according to Malay Mail.

What does the award mean for growth?

The operating record provides the measurable answer. Between the end of 2021 and the end of 2025, total assets rose 2.5 times to VND 931 trillion, while pretax profit increased 2.65 times to VND 21.3 trillion, according to Malay Mail. Return on equity also improved from 23.3 percent to 25.3 percent over the same period.

Capital plan raises funding capacity

HDBank's first-half 2026 pretax profit reached VND 13.202 trillion, up 31 percent from the same period of 2025, while total assets reached VND 1.045 quadrillion, up 12.3 percent from the start of the year, according to Tin nhanh chung khoan. The bank set a 2026 pretax profit target of VND 30.1 trillion, up 41 percent from 2025, and completed 43.86 percent of that target after six months.

Profit target frames the next test

The remaining gap to the annual target makes credit growth, funding costs and asset quality central to the next results cycle. HDBank's capital plan supports lending capacity, but the 41 percent annual profit ambition requires the second half to deliver VND 16.898 trillion in additional pretax profit after the first-half result.
