Along with the positive developments of foreign investors, VNM stock price also performed well on the stock market. From July 22 to now, the stock of the industry giant has increased by 9% and surpassed the 70,000 VND/share mark, closing the session on August 2 at 71,500 VND/share.

In addition to the market price and trading volume from foreign investors, VNM's liquidity has also skyrocketed in recent sessions. Most notably, on July 31, the trading volume reached a record high of nearly 21.6 million shares, equivalent to a value of more than VND 1.5 trillion. This brought the average liquidity over the past year to more than 2.9 million units/session. Also in this historic session, foreign investors bought nearly 6.3 million VNM shares through order matching, equivalent to a value of nearly VND 443 billion, marking one of the largest direct purchases and sales.

Foreign net buying, along with increased liquidity and market price, were supported by VNM's positive business results. Vinamilk had an outstanding second quarter with consolidated revenue setting a new record. More importantly, the company achieved growth in all segments, from domestic, export to domestic and foreign member units.

According to the consolidated financial statements for the second quarter of 2024, VNM's net revenue reached VND 16,655 billion, surpassing the peak of VND 16,194 billion in the third quarter of 2021 to become the quarter with the highest revenue. This is also the quarter with the highest growth rate of the enterprise since the beginning of 2022, reaching 9.5% over the same period. Net profit reached VND 2,671 billion, up 21%.

This result was supported by domestic and foreign business activities with growth rates of 5.8% and 29.9% respectively over the same period.

Foreign markets contributed 18.5% of consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2024. Of which, net export revenue reached VND 1,740 billion, up 37% over the same period. Continuously improving products and maintaining close relationships with partners in key export markets are the basis for growth in Vinamilk's export activities.

In addition to promoting traditional markets, Vinamilk is opening up new opportunities following the trend of supplying to global chains. This orientation brings Vinamilk products to more areas in Australia, further to Africa and South America.

In the coming time, Vinamilk will focus on emerging markets, take advantage of free trade agreements and build strategic partnerships. In the second quarter, Vinamilk will continue to promote trade promotion activities and connect international trade. The sustainable development strategy is also used as a competitive advantage when exporting to create a new wind.

With foreign branches in Cambodia and the US, net revenue in the second quarter of 2024 reached VND 1,384 billion, up 21.8% over the same period.

“With encouraging results in the first half of 2024, we are confident in achieving the full-year plan and believe that Vinamilk will continue to be a bright spot in the market, bringing sustainable value to investors,” Ms. Mai Kieu Lien shared with investors.
