On the afternoon of April 17, 2024, FPT Retail Joint Stock Company (FPT Retail – HoSE: FRT) successfully held the 2026 annual general meeting, covering important items related to 2025 business results and development directions for 2026.
In a business environment still affected by geopolitics, tariff fluctuations, input cost pressures and other uncertainties of the global economy, FPT Retail said it has actively prepared flexible operating options, closely following domestic and international developments. The company also strengthened risk management, continuously improving operational efficiency and maintaining a prudent but effective development direction.
For 2026, FPT Retail aims to maintain growth momentum with net revenue expected at VND 59,500 billion, up 16% from 2025, and pre-tax profit of VND 1,550 billion, a 27% increase.
The plan reflects a development orientation toward growth coupled with enhanced operational efficiency, focusing on three main pillars: expanding the medical ecosystem, optimizing operations across the system, and promoting the application of technology and data.
FPT Long Châu remains identified as the strategic growth engine.
In 2026, the company plans to expand its nationwide network of pharmacies and vaccination centers by an additional 450 locations, ensuring effectiveness at each point of sale.
Long Châu will also step up strategic cooperation with leading global pharmaceutical companies to bring modern products and treatment solutions to Vietnam, aiming to improve supply capacity and shorten the gap in access to next-generation medicines between Vietnam and developed countries.
Notably, in 2026, Long Châu is expected to bring in more than 30 new generation medicines and advanced treatments, focusing on rare diseases and severe chronic diseases.
In fact, Long Châu, together with a leading UK pharmaceutical company, introduced three advanced medical solutions for severe asthma, systemic lupus erythematosus, and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome in Vietnam on April 12.
Alongside scale expansion, Long Châu focuses on revenue growth and efficiency per store by expanding the product-and-service catalog and increasing value per customer. The push to apply technology and artificial intelligence is intended to optimize operations and personalize the customer experience.
Long Châu is the first pharmacy chain integrated on VNeID, and also a pioneer in using residence data to serve people under family accounts. In the near future, Long Châu will continue expanding new health-care service models under modern, convenient, community-oriented criteria.
The company will continue to increase medical content linked with technology applications. At the same time, it is preparing high-quality human resources and standard technology platforms to deploy new medical services when market conditions and demand converge, while strengthening cooperation with reputable health organizations domestically and internationally.
FPT Shop operates with a strategy to enhance efficiency after restructuring.
In 2026, the system focuses on diversifying product-service categories, expanding home electronics, appliances with installation and IoT devices to meet customer needs and increase value per transaction.
At the same time, FPT Shop expands its digital ecosystem with FPT SIM and digital services, aiming to reach about 1.1 million subscribers, while developing value-added services to enhance experience and customer loyalty.
Additionally, the company continues to optimize business models, develop online channels, and improve operating efficiency across the system, with artificial intelligence playing a crucial role in personalizing experiences and boosting sales performance.
With a strategy combining business model innovation and technology application, FPT Shop expects to maintain stable growth, contribute positively to consolidated results, and lay a foundation for sustainable development of FPT Retail in the long term.
