By the end of 2017, Petrolimex’s total assets reached VND66.5 trillion (US$2.9 billion), increasing VND12 trillion (US$526 million) compared to the year’s beginning. The group’s inventory value is estimated at VND12.7 trillion (US$55.7 million), 1.5 times higher than at the year’s beginning and accounts for 20% of total assets.
At present, Petrolimex’s share changes hand at VND89,000 (US$3.9) per share, equaling the price to earnings (P/E) 30 ratio. Currently, the share is receiving great attention from investors with sharp increase of 20% in value for the first month of 2018.
Petrolimex posted positive business results in 2015 and 2016. In 2015, the group’s pre-tax profit experienced strong growth at VND3.7 trillion (US$162 million), 10 times higher than the number in 2014 at VND321 billion (US$14 million). Out of this number pre-tax profit from petroleum-related activities accounted for VND2 trillion (US$87 million).
In 2016, total consolidated pre-tax profit set new record at VND6.3 trillion (US$276 million), in which pre-tax profit from petroleum-related activities contributed VND3.9 trillion (US$171 million).
