VIB reported a 9.50 percent stock dividend, as Vietnam Investment Review reported on October 7, 2026. The distribution lifted charter capital to VND 37.35 trillion after more than 323 million shares were issued, while VIB stock stood at VND 13,800 on HOSE on October 8, 2026, 33.01 percent below its VND 20,600 52-week high.

Capital base reaches VND 37.35 trillion

The stock dividend strengthens VIB's capital base without relying on a cash distribution. The October 7 report said the bank is also pursuing a wider international funding plan, but the capital increase is the more direct balance-sheet change for shareholders.

Vietnam Investment Review reported that VIB's outstanding loans reached nearly VND 400 trillion at the end of the second quarter of 2026, while first-half pretax profit exceeded VND 5.18 trillion. The capital increase therefore arrives alongside continued lending growth rather than as an isolated corporate action.

Profit growth meets credit risk

24HMoney reported that VIB's pretax profit reached VND 5.19 trillion in the first half of 2026, up 3.00 percent year over year. The same analysis said second-quarter pretax profit was VND 2.38 trillion, down 8.00 percent from the year-earlier quarter, even as net interest income rose 10.00 percent.

The contrast matters: operating income is expanding, but provisions and asset quality are limiting the conversion of that growth into profit. The report said net new bad-loan formation reached nearly VND 1.40 trillion in the second quarter, up 15.00 percent from the prior quarter, while the bad-loan coverage ratio was 43.60 percent.

HOSE price remains below its yearly high

VIB traded at VND 13,800 on HOSE on October 8, 2026, down 0.72 percent from the VND 13,900 reference price. The VND 20,600 52-week high and VND 13,150 low leave the stock 33.01 percent below its high and VND 650 above its low.
