Correlation between VN-Index and HoSE capitalization

In the period from 2018 to now, the new Law on Securities took effect with many amendments and supplements, expanding the investment space, stimulating the market to grow strongly. Liquidity was untied, the story of upgrading plus the context that bank interest rates remained low and other investment channels faced obstacles due to the epidemic have helped the stock market increase its attractiveness. Cash flow from individual investors poured in, helping the market gradually fulfill its function as a capital conduit for the economy.

Not only that, a series of businesses have been listed and listed in the past few years, including many big names such as HVN, SAB, GVR, BCM…. In particular, the typical representative is “blockbuster” Vinhomes (VHM) which has been listed on May 17, 2018, immediately attracting strong attention, creating a transaction worth over 1 billion USD. first in the history of Vietnamese securities. Then, from 2018 to 2021, a series of banks also listed or moved to HoSE such as TCB, TPB, HDB, ABB, VIB, OCB, VBB, MSB, SHB, ACB, LPB… market capitalization has grown tremendously.

At the same time, the market size is supplemented by a large number of newly issued shares by enterprises to take full advantage of the capital mobilization function of the stock market. It is estimated that in the most recent year of 2021, 147 listed companies increased their equity by 3.8%, equivalent to VND 102,600 billion through the issuance of shares – a record number of capital mobilized. through issuance, more than 5 times in 2020. However, the explosion of issuance activity also requires more careful supervision of the competent state agencies. This will ensure to avoid behaviors such as enterprises inefficiently using mobilized capital or businesses operating inefficiently but continuously issuing to raise capital.

While the market is constantly expanding in both breadth and depth, valuation is also a factor in attention. Standing at the same level around the threshold of 1,200, however, the stock market is much cheaper now than it was 4 years ago.

VN-Index valuation is much “cheaper” than the peak in 2018

According to the latest assessment of SGI Capital, Vietnam’s stock market in the past has had 3 sharp declines, all of which brought the VN-Index’s P/E valuation to below 12.x, and opened up very good investment opportunities later. with an increase of 35-80% after 1 year.

In the view of SGI Capital, the difference between the recent sharp decline is that Vietnam’s economy is having the strongest macroeconomic balance in the past 15 years and businesses are entering the post-COVID recovery cycle- 19. Therefore, the reasons to sell off stocks to very cheap this time do not come from internal factors of the business. The main reason comes from events, news that influence investor sentiment and cash flow in and out, creating short-term fluctuations that are sometimes extreme and excessive in the market.

“This market sell-off can be seen as the end of the era of cheap and easy money, and at the same time ushers in the beginning of a new and more sustainable uptrend based on the recovery of the economy. real economy and business growth”SGI Capital said.

Sharing the same view, Dragon Capital believes that the drop in share price combined with earnings growth makes Vietnam’s stock valuation very attractive as the P/E ratio slips to lower than the 5-year average. Compared with other markets in the region, from the foreign fund’s point of view, the current attractive valuation of the Vietnamese market becomes even more prominent. While there are still some short-term unknowns, at this valuation the potential profit for long-term investors is clear.

Dragon Capital has made a forecast of corporate EPS growth in 2022 at 25%, much higher than the annual average of 12.5% ​​since 2010. Also according to Dragon Capital, the Government’s actions during this time. In recent times, it will contribute to directing cash flow away from speculative stocks and into quality stocks with good fundamentals, high returns and low legal risks.
