Vingroup will increase its charter capital to 31.9 trillion VND from the current 26.37 trillion VND after the share issuance.

In the first quarter of 2018, Vingroup posted 29 trillion VND in revenue and 1 trillion VND in net profit, yearly increases of 84 percent and 70 percent.

For 2018, the company has set a target of 120 trillion VND in net revenue, up 34 percent from last year, and 8.5 trillion VND in net profit, up 50 percent.
