The race of securities companies before the explosive news

(Dan Tri) - Not only is there excitement about the plan to increase charter capital, many parties are also planning to IPO their "favorite children". This is considered a drastic step to increase financial strength and meet integration requirements.

In the context of the stock market preparing to receive information about upgrading, many businesses have proactively announced plans to increase charter capital through issuing shares to raise real money from investors, instead of issuing bonus shares or paying dividends.

Rong Viet Securities has just approved the implementation of a plan to offer individual shares in 2025. This plan was approved by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in April.

The company will offer 48 million shares, equivalent to 17.56% of the total outstanding shares, at an offering price of VND18,000/share. The company expects to collect a maximum of VND864 billion from the offering.

At this year's general meeting of shareholders, Mr. Nguyen Mien Tuan - Chairman of the Board of Directors of Rong Viet Securities - emphasized that the Company still needs to increase capital to improve its financial capacity.

Currently, the stock market still has room for development, so financial groups and banks participating and increasing capital create great pressure. The brokerage, lending, and investment consulting sectors are all highly competitive. Many units have applied zero fees and low interest rates.

Another notable deal is LPBank Securities (LPBS). This company has just finalized the shareholder list to issue 878 million shares to existing shareholders at a price of 10,000 VND/share. The company is expected to mobilize 8,780 billion VND, of which more than 5,200 billion VND will be for investment in valuable papers, more than 2,600 billion VND will be for additional capital for margin lending and the remaining amount will be for underwriting activities.

If the capital increase is completed, LPBS can join the group of securities companies with large charter capital in the market, such as SSI, TCBS, VNDirect, VPS, VIX or VPBankS...

Or SSI Securities, at the extraordinary general meeting on September 25, will also present a plan to offer 415.6 million shares to existing shareholders. The issuance ratio is 5:1. The offering price is 15,000 VND/share, expected to raise 6,234 billion VND.

The proceeds are expected to be used for investment and margin lending activities. This is the next capital increase after the company approved a plan to privately offer 104 million shares to 18 investors at VND31,300. This issuance is expected to be carried out in the third to fourth quarter of 2025 after being approved by the management agency.

If both types are successfully issued, SSI Securities expects to mobilize about VND9,500 billion.

Previously, Thien Viet Securities (TVS) had its shareholders' meeting approve the plan to offer 33 million shares, increasing its charter capital to VND2,000 billion. The amount raised will be supplemented for business activities, including investment in bonds, stocks, fund certificates, deposit certificates, etc.

The race to increase capital among securities companies is taking place in the context that the Vietnamese stock market is entering the final stage, waiting for the promotion results expected to be announced next October.

Not only is there excitement about the plan to increase charter capital, many parties are also planning to IPO (initial public offering) their “pet” businesses in the ecosystem. This is considered a drastic step to increase financial strength and meet the market integration requirements.

Mr. Nguyen The Minh - Director of Analysis of Yuanta Vietnam Securities Company - said that capital mobilization is considered necessary in the context of the market scale is increasingly expanding, liquidity each session up to billions of USD. Not to mention, many parties have run out of "margin room", and need to mobilize to expand the scale of customer loans.

Along with that, the group of securities companies also participates in the new field of digital assets. Currently, Vietnam is one of the top countries in the world in terms of ownership and trading of digital assets (about 17 million people, with 1,000 billion USD in transactions in 2024), in which, it ranks in the top 5 in the world in terms of interest in digital assets and top 3 in terms of using international exchanges.

Mr. Minh stated that this is an extremely attractive "piece of cake" that no securities company wants to ignore. However, the condition to participate in this field is that the enterprise must have a minimum capital of 10,000 billion VND. Therefore, raising capital on the stock exchange through issuance and IPO is one of the tools that companies are focusing on in the current period.
