The current picture
What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q2 basis, VCG has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — profit is at an all-time high. However, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, making the picture not entirely clear.

A closer look at what is happening inside the business
A company's statements are read with the questions that fit its type of business.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins improved (+18.7pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.
Revenue Growth
▲Is growth real and durable?
Trailing-12-month revenue grew 13.4% year on year — but the quarterly pace is slowing (+66% → −13%).
2 of the last 4 quarters grew year on year.
- Revenue TTM
- 16,349bn +13.4%
- Latest quarter YoY
- −13% slowing
What is driving the margin?
▲Net margin expanded to 25.98%, rising 18.7pp. Despite pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 1.3pp and Gross margin fell 0.7pp, the offset came from Net financial result / Revenue rose 21.3pp (pressure remains from Other profit / Revenue fell 0.3pp).
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.
- Net Margin
- 25.98% +18.7pp
- Gross Margin
- 11.82% −0.7pp
- SG&A / Revenue
- 5.01% +1.3pp
- Non-core / Revenue
- 21.39% +21.0pp
TTM YoY · 2025Q2 -> 2026Q2
Financial result accounts for 75.8% of PBT and lifted net margin by 21.0pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.
Cash Flow
▲Is profit converting into cash?
With leverage safe, cash flow shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 2,838.6bn against investing cash flow of -2,710.0bn (annual cash-flow figures for 2025).
Post-investment cash flow was positive +128.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +269.2bn.
CFO / net income was 0,49 lần.
After spending +883.3bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +1,113.7bn.
For construction contractors, FCF swings sharply with project progress and payment cycles — should be read alongside backlog and receivables quality.
Earnings Quality
▼How much income is non-core?
Non-core income reaches 75.8% of pre-tax profit — core earnings are thinner than the headline.
Within that, net financial result at +75.6%, other profit at +0.3% of PBT.
- Non-core / PBT
- 75.8% high
- Net financial / PBT
- 75.6%
- Other profit / PBT
- 0.3%
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 24.2% fluctuates with handover cycles.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
▲ROIC expanded to 24.24%, rising 18.7pp. That translates to 24.24 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 18.9pp and capital turnover rose 0.15x, with invested capital easing slightly by 891bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.
For construction contractors, ROIC moves with backlog and project acceptance timing — this is a reference signal and should be read alongside working-capital cycles.
Working Capital Efficiency
▲Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 61.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 58.6 days, DSO rose 3.5 days, and DPO rose 6.3 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.
For construction contractors, DSO/DIO/DPO/CCC can be distorted by project progress, work-in-progress receivables, and milestone acceptance timing — these metrics should be read alongside developer payment cycles.
CCC stands at 150.4 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DSO increased by +3.5 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.
DuPont
What drives ROE?
ROE rose from 9.6% to 36.1% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
▲Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.32x and interest coverage at 9.83x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 72.2% of total debt, cash equals 30.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 5,699.7bn.
Leverage for construction contractors fluctuates with project working capital, performance guarantees, and progress receivables — should be read alongside receivables quality and developer payment cycles.
- Net Debt / Equity
- 0.32x −0.37x
- Interest Coverage
- 9.83x +6.17x
- Cash / Debt
- 30.3% +10.9pp
- Short-term Debt / Total Debt
- 72.2% +17.3pp
TTM YoY · 2025Q2 -> 2026Q2
Short-term debt accounts for 72.2% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.
Balance Sheet
▲ROIC for construction contractors swings with project progress and handover cycles. Capital structure is relatively light for construction contractors — liabilities at 1.51x equity, net debt at 0.32x equity.
Owner advances stand at 2,824.4bn (as of 2026Q2) — the contractor is funded along the contract schedule, easing the pressure to self-finance working capital.
Owner advances: 2,824.4bn · YoY −51.4bn
Advances / receivables: 92.43% — funded vs stuck
The contractor's survival axis: site receivables 3,055.8bn vs equity 12,426.2bn — 24.59% of the capital base is sitting on job sites.
Receivables / equity: 24.59% · receivables YoY 26.11% · equity YoY 11.77%
DSO: 68 days
Sector note: contractor gross margins are THIN (11.82% TTM) by design — value lives in contract turnover and collection discipline, not margin. Do not compare with manufacturers.
Inventory ended the period at 5,656.6bn, roughly 18.1% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 1,652.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories and higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables only partly offset that benefit.
In summary
Research synthesis
What this reporting period is showing
The business is showing brightening signals, but the improvement is still early and not yet thick enough to read as a confirmed trend. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 18.7 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated.
- Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 25.98% after expanding 18.7pp versus the same period last year.
- Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 75.6% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.49x.
What to verify next
Questions for the next period
Whether revenue sustains its +13,4% YoY pace or begins to slow.
Whether margins hold around the current 25.98% level or narrow again.
Whether operating cash flow holds its 2,838.6bn (cumulative for 2025) level in upcoming periods or weakens.
