Consolidated revenue reached VND 15.117 billion, up 30% year over year and accounting for 25% of the annual plan. Pre-tax profit stood at VND 472 billion, equivalent to 30% of the 2026 annual target.
Online revenue reached VND 2.485 billion, up 16% versus the same period a year earlier. The company said the results reflect steady growth across its two core business areas—healthcare retail and technology retail—supported by operational efficiency initiatives and improvements in growth quality.
In Q1 2026, FPT Long Châu’s revenue reached VND 10.343 billion, up 28% year over year and 25% of the annual plan. Average revenue per pharmacy per month stood at VND 1.3 billion, up modestly from the 2025 average, indicating stable performance amid network expansion beyond central areas.
As of the end of March 2026, Long Châu owned 2,517 pharmacies and 228 vaccination centers, continuing nationwide expansion to improve access to healthcare services.
Alongside scaling, Long Châu said it continues to adopt technology to optimize operating costs, enhance efficiency, and improve customer experience.

The FPT Shop chain reported Q1 revenue of VND 4.815 billion, up 31% year over year and 26% of the annual plan. Average revenue per store reached VND 2.6 billion per month, up over 30% from the prior year. FPT Retail attributed the performance to strong demand during the Lunar New Year and contributions from newly launched technology products.
