Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Huu Huan of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City predicts that businesses will continue to post positive Q2 earnings, largely due to last year’s low base. Many companies boosted exports in April and May, leading to strong profit growth. As a result, many institutions have predicted the market to remain stable, at least in the short term.

However, market outlook for the second half of the year is a mix of opportunities and challenges, they said. Internal factors like infrastructure reforms, capital flows, and positive valuations are fueling growth expectations, but growth will require support from a favorable international environment and adaptability on the part of businesses and investors.

Maintaining a cautious and flexible strategy will be the key to seizing opportunities and avoiding risks in the latter half of 2025.
