Bank revenues drive up dividends
| | ||
Following announcements of double and even triple annual earnings growth over the last few weeks, bank stocks are again in vogue as investors prepare to reap high dividends payments. Asia Commercial Bank (ACB) topped the money list, reporting VND568 billion (US$35.5 million) in 2006 pre-tax profits. ACB mobilised nearly VND39.5 trillion (US$2.5 billion) through selling shares and deposit services, and provided VND17.1 trillion (US$1.1 billion) in loans, a 77 and 79 percent year-on-year increase respectively. The bank is expected to issue a 38 percent dividend payment, 8 percent of which will be issued in cash while the remaining 30 percent will be through share options. With pre-tax profits at VND447 billion (US$27.93 million), Sai Gon Thuong Tin Commercial Bank (Sacombank) plans a 20-22 percent dividend issuance. Sacombank intends to use much of last year's earnings as legal and working capital. Meanwhile, shareholders of the Export and Import Commercial Bank (Eximbank) expect to receive a 55 percent dividend payment on the back of VND340 billion (US$21.3 million) in pre-tax profits. In addition to strong profits, banks also reported strong asset accumulation. ACB reported VND42.5 trillion (US$2.65 million) in assets, more than double from where it was at the start of 2006. Sacombank and Eximbank saw similar results with VND24 trillion (US$1.5 million) and VND17 trillion (US$1.06 million) in assets, up 58 percent and 49 percent respectively over the previous year. Industry insiders attributed the impressive results to the country's economic growth, and the development of financial products and services, like term deposit accounts and preferential credit policies. | ||
