This year, Vinh Hoan Corp plans its business with two scenarios. For the basic scenario, the company sets a revenue target of 10,700 billion VND, an increase of 6.6% compared to the implementation level in 2023. However, profit after tax is expected to decrease by 12.9%, only reaching 800 billion VND.

For the high scenario, Vinh Hoan Corp targets revenue of 11,500 billion VND and profit after tax of 1,000 billion VND, an increase of 14.6% and 8.8%, respectively, compared to the implementation level 2023.

In the first quarter of 2024, due to pressure on input costs and falling selling prices, Vinh Hoan Corp gross profit margin decreased by 800 basis points, to 9.3%. At the same time, profit after tax decreased by 16%, to only 189 billion VND.

According to the assessment of some financial institutions, the business results of Vinh Hoan Corp have "created a bottom" and are expected to recover more clearly in the second half of this year, especially when the US market is recording a series of positive signals.

In the two main export markets, the US and Europe, Vietnamese pangasius is advantageous when the US has banned importing seafood from Russia and reduced anti-dumping duties on seafood. Vietnamese pangasius products; Europe increased the tax applied to fille pollock (a substitute for fillet pangasius) from 0% to 13.7%. Thereby, it creates advantages for Vietnamese pangasius when exporting to these markets.

In addition to demand recovery, the driving force to increase export pangasius prices also comes from the shortage of raw fish supply in the near future.

This year's net revenue of Vinh Hoan Seafood is expected to increase by 13.8% compared to 2023, reaching 11,426 billion VND, and net profit will increase by 17,000 VND, reaching 1,117 billion VND.
