2019 is the second year when non-financial companies' revenue and profit growth is slowing down:

• Net revenue grew modestly at 4.2%, ended the rapid chain-growth in recent years.

• Profit after tax in 2019 grew only by 5.3% but it was still in the decrease stage.

• After phase of crisis (2008 -2012), 2019 is the first time EBIT and EBITDA growth declined to -1.5% and -1.1%

Sectors that maintained high income and growth rate in 2019 are Pharmaceuticals, Personal & Household Goods, Construction & Materials and Telecommunications. We rated based on two criteria: Incomes and Profits.

18 banks (accounts for a combined 67.4% of total outstanding loans) recorded an after-tax profit growth of 29.3%, had a credit growth of 15.5%, higher than the whole sector (13.5%).

• Net profit margin (NIM) had improved at 30 basis points to 3.4% from 3.1% in 2018 due to retail lending growth from some banks through subsidiaries such as VPBank, HDBank, MBBank and more recently SHB.
• Fee income of these banks grew strongly at 30.7%

EPS growth of VN30 is forecast at 15.3%, much higher than actual figure of 4.9% in 2019.
