Launched in 2017 as a successor to the Top 1000 Corporate Taxpayers, PROFIT500has become a trusted 'barometer' of corporate health, reflecting not only profit scale but also financial efficiency, growth potential and social responsibility.
The top 10 most profitable companies 2025 are the Viettel Military Industry and Telecoms Group, the Viet Nam National Industry-Energy Group (Petrovietnam), Samsung Electronics Viet Nam Thai Nguyen, Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade of Viet Nam (Vietcombank), Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Investment and Development of Viet Nam (BIDV), Viet Nam Joint Stock Commercial Bank For Industry And Trade (Vietinbank), Military Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MBBank), Viet Nam Technological and Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Techcombank) and Asia Commercial Bank (ACB).
This year’s data show that PROFIT500 firms reported average pre-tax profit of 1.96 trillion VND (74.28 million USD), nearly three times higher than the national business average. Despite global headwinds, 64.3% of companies in the ranking still posted profit growth in the first half of 2025, compared with 59.7% of surveyed firms overall.
FDI firms continued to lead in asset efficiency (ROA), while State-owned enterprises improved capital efficiency (ROE). The private sector, though under market pressure, maintained steady profit growth, confirming its rising importance in the economy. Notably, PROFIT500 enterprises contributed nearly 60% of total corporate income tax revenue in 2024.
Viet Nam Report’s survey also found businesses shifting priorities toward balancing profit with sustainability, focusing on technology investment, human resources, risk management and social responsibility. Nearly half of respondents identified sustainable development as a key goal, a sharp increase from last year.
The 2025 ceremony will also unveil the ALPHA30 ranking of Viet Nam’s top strategic investors and a list of the ten most reputable companies in key sectors, alongside a high-level forum on strategic investment.
The honouring ceremony will take place in Ha Noi this October.
