A series of securities companies announced their financial reports for the second quarter of 2025 with high growth and huge profits, many times higher than the same period last year, but some companies still announced their profits went down.
For example, BIDV Securities Company (stock code BSI) reported a profit after tax in the second quarter of 2025 of VND 101.9 billion, down 11% year-on-year, although operating revenue increased by 19%. However, financial expenses increased 2.2 times, along with management expenses and corporate income tax increasing by 21% and 16%, respectively, causing profits to decline. In the first 6 months of the year, BSI achieved a profit after tax of VND 183 billion, down 28% year-on-year.

In the first 6 months of the year, FTS achieved a revenue of VND 551 billion, down nearly 9% and a profit after tax of nearly VND 214 billion, down 34.5% year-on-year.
