On the afternoon of April 17, 2026, Saigon-Hano i Securities Joint Stock Company (SHS) held its 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders. From the moment he appeared, Do Quang Vinh, SHS’s Chairman of the Board, drew attention with a highly captivating, elegant demeanor, reminiscent of a chief executive stepping onto the stage. He is known for wearing dark-striped or checked suits; this time he deliberately chose a purple tie. In stock market symbolism, purple signals a price ceiling and strong buying demand, implying the stock could push toward the day’s upper circuit. At the 2026 AGM, SHS shareholders approved a business plan with total revenue of 3,739 billion VND and pretax profit of 1,718 billion VND, up 2% and 4% respectively from the previous year. However, the growth pace for the year is expected to be lower than last year’s 33%. The handsome appearance and captivating image of Chairman Do Quang Vinh were widely noted. For 2026–2030, SHS sets targets of capturing 5–6% market share, entering the top five securities firms, margin growth of 80–90% per year, investment banking (IB) growth of 50–60% per year, and after-tax profit growth of 25–30% per year. Do Quang Vinh, born 1989, is the eldest son of Do Quang Hien (Bau Hien), Chairman of SHB, and Le Thanh Hoa. He is known as a talented young entrepreneur and a single father balancing work and family life. He studied at a Singaporean high school, earned a master’s degree in Finance and Management at the University of East Anglia in the UK, and spent time in the US as CEO of T&T’s branch there. He currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Board and Deputy CEO of SHB, and as Chairman of SHS. Previously, he held roles such as CRM project director, Deputy Director of the retail banking division, and Chairman of SHB Finance. He is described as modern-thinking and a driver of innovation at SHB. He has spoken about facing pressure as the son of Bau Hien but has used it as motivation to grow. The Chairman Do Quang Vinh consistently appears in sophisticated attire; he is often seen at key SHB and SHS events with a confident, decisive aura. Conversely, in his role as a father, he shows gentleness and approachability, sharing moments with his children online and discussing parenting. In May 2025, Do Quang Vinh welcomed his third daughter after more than five years with twins Bear and Rabbit. Previously, the entrepreneur and his partner had traveled to the US to welcome the new family member and publicized the baby’s image when she turned one month old. “Having children is the greatest gift from heaven. Watching them grow up, healthy and lovely, is the greatest fortune for a father,” he said on his social media. According to SHB’s 2024 governance report, his eldest son owns 101,383,408 SHB shares, representing 2.768% of SHB’s equity. As of the closing price on May 4, 2025, these shares were worth about 1,277.4 billion VND. In addition to SHB, Do Quang Vinh owns a substantial stake in SHS (Saigon-Hanoi Securities). He is Chairman of SHS’s Board and also chairs the Strategy Committee. According to SHS governance reports, he holds 12,500,000 SHS shares, worth about 153.7 billion VND as of May 4, 2025. In total, as of May 4, 2025, his stock holdings in SHB and SHS amounted to more than 1,431 billion VND. Source: Nguyen Phuong. Law Life.
