At the FPT Group’s shareholders’ meeting on the afternoon of April 16, 2026, CEO Nguyen Van Khoa discussed both business targets and the company’s approach to human resources amid the growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). He said FPT has not laid off any employees due to AI, adding that the technology is being used as a supportive tool to help staff work more efficiently.
FPT’s leadership said the group’s corporate responsibility goes beyond growth to maintaining stable employment. “We are not like some companies that use AI as a reason to cut staff,” Mr. Khoa said. The company described its working environment as a balance of discipline and collegiality, combining mutual support with requirements for capability and adaptability.
To meet changing market needs, FPT said it has maintained continuous training for many years and is now implementing an “AI First” strategy to build a workforce that can combine human and technological skills. The group also applies AI in education early on, from primary school to university, to prepare long-term human resources.
Internally, FPT is reorganizing to integrate AI into day-to-day operations, with the goal that employees “grow with AI” and treat the technology as an essential part of work rather than a replacement for people.
At the meeting, FPT said it will present its 2026 business plan to shareholders with the following targets:
FPT said the technology division remains its main growth engine, with projected revenue of VND 52,650 billion, up 18.4%, and pretax profit of about VND 7,350 billion, up 24.9%.
For education, investment, and other activities, the company projected revenue of VND 5,930 billion, down 3.3% year over year. Pretax profit for this segment is still expected to rise by 1.3% to VND 4,279 billion.
On dividends, FPT plans to propose a cash dividend of up to 20% for 2026, equivalent to up to VND 2,000 per share. The board said it will determine the interim dividend level based on actual business results, ensuring it does not affect production and business operations.
