3 State banks are about to increase capital significantly

(Dan Tri) - 3 out of 4 Big 4 banks have increased their capital strongly, which has stimulated the capital increase wave of the banking sector. In the market, banking stocks have increased strongly in response to this positive news.

Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade ( VietinBank , stock code: CTG) has just announced that it will close the shareholder list on December 18 to issue shares to pay dividends from remaining profits in 2021, 2022 and the period 2009-2016.

Accordingly, the bank will issue nearly 2.4 billion shares to pay dividends in shares, corresponding to an issuance ratio of 44.64%. With this scale, this is the largest dividend stock issuance in the banking industry this year. After the issuance, VietinBank's charter capital is expected to increase by nearly VND24,000 billion, from nearly VND53,700 billion to nearly VND77,670 billion.

After the capital increase information, VietinBank's CTG shares increased sharply with liquidity of more than 19 million units. CTG shares are trading close to the ceiling price of 52,200 VND/share.

Along with VietinBank, the remaining two state-owned banks, Vietcombank (stock code: VCB) and BIDV (stock code: BID), also have plans to increase capital significantly this year.

In particular, Vietcombank has approved the 2023 profit distribution plan according to the State Bank's approval principles. Specifically, after setting aside funds, the bank's remaining profit in 2023 is more than VND 22,770 billion. Vietcombank will use all of this profit to pay stock dividends.

Vietcombank's Board of Directors assigned the Deputy General Director in charge of the Executive Board to direct the development of a plan to increase capital through paying dividends in shares from remaining profits and the Charter Capital Supplement Reserve Fund, and report to the State Bank for submission to the Government and the National Assembly for approval.

Previously, Vietcombank also approved the 2022 profit distribution plan according to the State Bank's approval principles. The bank will use VND21,680 billion of the remaining 2022 profit to pay stock dividends.

Thus, if approved by the authorities, Vietcombank can soon issue shares to increase its charter capital to over VND100,000 billion.

At this year's annual shareholders' meeting, BIDV approved a plan to increase charter capital by VND21,656 billion, to nearly VND91,870 billion, equivalent to an increase of 30.8%, through 3 options: increasing capital from the charter capital supplement reserve fund, paying dividends and issuing additional shares.

Of which, the bank plans to issue a maximum of more than 498.5 million bonus shares, equivalent to 7.1% of the outstanding shares as of March 31, to increase capital from the charter capital reserve fund. The bank also issues a maximum of more than 1,397 million shares to pay dividends from undistributed accumulated profits in 2023, equivalent to an implementation rate of 19.9% ​​of the outstanding shares as of March 31.

As the pillars of the system, contributing to supporting the implementation of State policies and promoting economic development, the Big 4 banking group is known to lead the wave of capital increase this year.

Previously, the Government issued Resolution No. 273 dated September 9, 2025 at the regular Government meeting last August. In which, the Government requested the State Bank to accelerate the increase of charter capital of state-owned commercial banks.

On the commercial bank side, the capital increase wave is also bustling. In August, MB (stock code: MBB) increased its charter capital from VND61,023 billion to VND80,550 billion after issuing shares to pay dividends at a rate of 32%.

Most recently, VietABank (stock code: VAB) has just been approved by the State Bank to increase its charter capital by nearly 41%, to VND11,495 billion, through issuing shares to existing shareholders and issuing ESOP shares.

In early October, TPBank (stock code: TPB) was also approved to increase its charter capital to more than VND27,740 billion, through the plan to issue 132 million shares (5%) to pay dividends to existing shareholders.

After increasing its charter capital to VND35,101 billion thanks to a 20% stock dividend, HDBank (HDB) continued to announce the completion of issuing shares to convert bonds, thereby officially increasing its charter capital to more than VND38,594 billion.
