BIDV Securities Joint Stock Company (BSC) reported its Q1 2026 financial statements, showing continued growth despite a market environment marked by bifurcation and cautious investor sentiment. The company said its growth momentum was maintained as overall market conditions faced pressures.

As a result, pre-tax profit in Q1 2026 reached VND 117.1 billion, up about 16.7% year-on-year. Net profit rose to VND 88.8 billion, up about 9.5%.

BSC said the Q1 2026 results reflect efficient operations and progress toward its goal of diversifying revenue sources and optimizing the customer experience. The company indicated these factors provide a basis to continue leveraging market opportunities in the coming quarters.
