According to CTS's Board of Directors, the capital increase is a necessary step to expand business and meet capital requirements for future development plans. Large charter capital and equity capital will also create conditions for the Company to optimize capital costs, increase competitiveness, improve trading market share and enhance its image and position in the domestic and international markets.
The General Meeting of Shareholders also approved the 2025 business plan with a pre-tax profit target of more than VND 297 billion and a dividend rate of 9%.

In the first quarter of 2025, CTS achieved nearly VND 133 billion in pre-tax profit, up 7% over the same period and completing 45% of the yearly plan. Net profit increased by 7%, reaching nearly VND 106 billion - marking the highest profit since the first quarter of 2022.
