In 2021, Sao Mai Group posted some VND11.4 trillion in net revenue and VND703 billion in after-tax profit, up 23% year-on-year.

In 2022, Sao Mai Group has set a target to increase its net revenue by 29% against the 2021 result, at VND14.7 trillion. Its after-tax profit is targeted at VND1.63 trillion, an increase of 2.3-fold against the 2021 figure, while the 2022 dividend payment is projected at 20%-30%.
On April 9, the business plan with the above-mentioned targets introduced by the board of directors of Sao Mai Group was approved at the annual general shareholder meeting at the convention center of the Long Xuyen Hotel in An Giang Province’s Long Xuyen City. In addition, the group will issue 168.2 million shares to its existing shareholders at the price of VND12,000 per share.
