How Much Does VinFast Stock Cost?

VinFast went public in August 2023 at just over $16 per share, although the stock briefly surged to $68 in a speculative rally before quickly retreating. The IPO coincided with a slowdown in the global EV market following the 2020–2023 boom. High vehicle prices, limited charging infrastructure, and weaker-than-expected demand weighed on the industry, while some government incentives and private investment programs were reduced or discontinued.

The price of VinFast shares in 2024 and subsequent years has also declined:

• the current market price of VinFast Auto shares is $2.85;

• over the past year, the shares have fallen by 12.54%;

• since the IPO, the shares have plummeted by 80.82%.

Over the long term, VFS shares have exhibited moderate volatility. However, the stock has also experienced periods of extreme price swings, with rallies exceeding 100% followed by sharp corrections.

Main Shareholders of VinFast Auto

VinFast’s largest shareholder is its parent company, Vingroup, Vietnam’s largest private conglomerate with operations spanning real estate, automotive manufacturing, technology, tourism, healthcare, education, and retail.

Vingroup was founded by Pham Nhat Vuong, Vietnam’s first billionaire. After receiving his education in Moscow, he made his first fortune in Ukraine (TechnoCom LLC). In 2010, the company was sold to Nestlé for $150 million. Pham Nhat Vuong invested the proceeds in real estate in Vietnam. The real estate business subsequently became the foundation of Vietnam’s largest diversified conglomerate.

• Component costs.

• International expansion. Entry into new markets and the growth of VinFast’s dealer and service network, particularly in the US.

• Strategic partnerships. Collaborations with technology leaders, such as NVIDIA, to advance autonomous driving capabilities.

In the short term, the stock may also be affected by speculative trading and shifts in institutional investor sentiment.

How to Trade VFS Stock CFDs

Let’s explore how beginners can invest in VinFast. One of the most accessible options is a contract for difference (CFD), which allows traders to speculate on price movements. If the prediction is correct, profits increase as the stock moves in the chosen direction. If incorrect, losses reduce the invested amount. Trades can be closed at any time.

Advantages of CFDs:

• simplified registration process;

• fees typically include only the spread, swap, and a fixed ECN account commission;

• ability to buy fractional share equivalents.

With CFDs, traders speculate on price movements using a minimum lot size and leverage, allowing them to gain exposure to stocks with less capital than buying a full one share.

VinFast Dividends

The parent company, Vingroup, is converting loans provided to its Vietnamese subsidiary, VinFast, into preferred shares that may include dividend rights within the corporate structure. However, this arrangement does not apply to private investors. VinFast has not paid dividends since its establishment.

Reasons:

• VinFast is still a young company, with available cash primarily reinvested into international expansion, factory construction, and R&D.

• As operations remain unprofitable, resources are focused on achieving break-even.

During this aggressive growth phase, funds are directed toward scaling and market expansion. A dividend policy may be introduced once profitability is achieved.

Investment Prospects in VinFast

The growth of eco-friendly transportation is limited by high EV costs, insufficient charging infrastructure, long charging times, and shorter ranges compared with ICE vehicles. However, government initiatives to reduce emissions are accelerating the transition to electric mobility.

VinFast’s key advantages include:

• A 10-year or 200,000 km vehicle warranty. By comparison, Tesla offers a warranty of up to 4 years.

• A battery charging service and related battery leasing option that reduces upfront costs.

• A broad eco-friendly product portfolio, including e-scooters, e-bicycles, electric cars, commercial vehicles, and buses.

• Financial support from its parent company.

Analysts consider VinFast shares undervalued, with current losses largely tied to rapid expansion and international growth. While the stock may offer long-term potential, investors should also consider investing in lithium stocks benefiting from rising EV battery demand.

Conclusion

VinFast Auto Ltd engages in the design, development, and production of electric vehicles, electric scooters, and electric buses.

As the automotive division of Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup, the company is pursuing an aggressive growth strategy focused on scaling operations and expanding across Asia, Europe, and South America.

Despite a challenging 2023 IPO, VinFast retains long-term growth potential as global demand shifts from fossil fuels toward electric mobility.
