Viettel Construction Joint Stock Company (ticker: CTR) is entering a new phase of development with a strategy to diversify revenue sources and expand into international markets. SSI Research says the company has a solid growth base, but the short-term upside for the stock is less compelling, with a 12-month target of around 96,000 dong per share, implying roughly 10% upside.
First-quarter 2026 results show CTR accelerating. Revenue is about 3,839 billion VND, up 39% year over year. Pre-tax profit reached 189 billion VND, up 22%.
The improvement is attributed to strong contributions from the construction segment, which grew 82%, and technical services, which rose 57%. Meanwhile, the operations and exploitation segment maintained steady growth.
SSI Research notes that the main growth driver in the past was the rental infrastructure segment. However, this segment is slowing as the size of BTS base stations has reached a high level. The company is moving toward a phase focused on efficiency optimization rather than rapid expansion, which is expected to slow overall growth compared with earlier periods.
CTR’s 2026 business plan is described as relatively conservative. The company targets profit growth of about 4%.
Despite a positive long-term outlook—projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12–16% per year from 2026 to 2030—SSI Research highlights that the lack of near-term catalysts reduces the likelihood of a sharp stock price increase.
On valuation, CTR is trading at an estimated 2026 P/E of about 19x. This is below the historical average, but it is not considered attractive in a high interest-rate environment. As a result, the stock may be less appealing for short-term capital, particularly when the market offers other opportunities with more competitive valuations.
The company faces several risks that could affect its ability to sustain high growth, including:
On the market, CTR shares traded around 86,700 dong per share in the morning session of 28/04, with liquidity at a low level. SSI Research links this to investor caution as they balance a positive long-term outlook against limited near-term upside.
In this context, CTR is viewed as more suitable for long-term investors seeking stability and sustainable growth, rather than expecting rapid gains in the near term.
