HCMC – Vincom Retail JSC, whose VRE shares are traded on the Hochiminh Stock Exchange (HOSE), is targeting consolidated revenue of over VND10.1 trillion and net profit of nearly VND5.4 trillion in 2026, up 16% and 15% from a year earlier, respectively.
Instead of accelerating new openings, VRE will prioritize lifting occupancy across its 90 existing malls in 2026, as the occupancy rate stood at 88.1% at the end of 2025.
The company has planned to open Vincom Plaza Dan Phuong in Hanoi with 25,000 square meters of floor space, upgrade Vincom Plaza Danang into the first Vincom Center outside Hanoi and HCMC, and fully renovate Vincom Plaza Halong.
A key strategic focus for 2026 is the launch of the Vincom Collection brand, an open air retail street model developed alongside Vinhomes urban projects.
Under this model, VRE will earn commissions from developers instead of investing directly, creating a new revenue stream with significantly lower capital requirements than traditional shopping malls. The company aims to roll out 10 such complexes and onboard 50 brands in 2026.
