VPBankS has become a major shareholder of Kin Bac Urban Development Joint Stock Company (KBC). VPBankS disclosed that on 13/04 it purchased 1.15 million KBC shares, lifting its stake from 46.35 million shares (4.922%) to 47.5 million shares (5.044%), thereby becoming a major shareholder of the northern region's leading industrial park developer. Based on KBC's closing price of 34,000 dong per share on 13/04, the deal is estimated at about 39 billion dong. The move comes as KBC recently staged a V-shaped rebound from a low near 27,000 dong.

However, VPBankS also projected 2026 after-tax profit for KBC at around 2.8 trillion dong, below the company's own expectations.
