HCMC – Vietjet Aviation JSC (HOSE: VJC) will close its shareholder list on June 17 to distribute a 30% stock dividend for 2025 through the issuance of more than 177.4 million new shares.

Under the plan, shareholders will get 30 new shares for every 100 shares held. The airline will use retained earnings of nearly VND12.8 trillion, based on its audited 2025 consolidated financial statements, to fund the share issuance.

According to Vietjet’s first-quarter 2026 financial statements, consolidated revenue rose 17.1% year-on-year to VND21.02 trillion.

Consolidated pre-tax profit increased 36.5% to VND1.14 trillion, while after-tax profit climbed 59.6% to VND1.02 trillion.

As of March 31, 2026, Vietjet’s total assets stood at VND143.53 trillion. Its net debt-to-equity ratio was 2.1 times and its liquidity ratio was 1.5 times.

The carrier contributed VND1.94 trillion to the State budget in the first quarter, according to the financial statements.

Closing the trading session today, June 8, VJC dropped 4.23% to VND176,800, with 906,900 shares changing hands.

The VN-Index plunged 48.37 points, or 2.63%, to 1,790.53 on Monday as sharp losses in major property stocks, led by VIC, weighed on the market.
