Credit Opinion

Factors that could lead to an upgrade

(1) its exposure to high-risk assets and leverage are maintained at substantially lower levels than current levels; or
(2) we view the standalone credit profile of VPBank to improve from continuous asset quality improvement and higher loss-absorption buffers

Factors that could lead to a downgrade

(1) high-risk assets rises continuously from current levels, and in turn, heightens the likelihood of balance sheet losses and liquidity challenges; or
(2) leverage ratio increases substantially, without any meaningful increase in long-term borrowings or liquid assets, posing greater risks to liquidity shocks; or
(3) we assess VPBank's capacity to support VPBANKS to have fallen substantially

Strengths

(1) one of Vietnam’s top three securities firms by total assets;
(2) strong liquid asset buffer and a proven ability to secure diversified funding from both domestic and international sources

Challenges

(1) elevated earnings volatility reflecting its rapid growth relative to peers;
(2) The bond portfolio is concentrated in real estate and hospitality issuers—sectors challenged by weak cash flows and high leverage;
(3) margin loan concentration to large clients;
(4) increased borrowing to support strong asset growth
