Understand VinFast Auto Ltd.: how it makes money

VinFast designs and manufactures electric vehicles (cars, plus e-buses and e-scooters), and it monetizes sales of these vehicles as well as battery-related offerings such as battery lease and battery charging services.

Its profit engine is selling EV units across its Car and two-wheeler businesses, then supplementing that with battery lease and battery charging services, so unit delivery volume and the scale of its charging and battery infrastructure are structurally tied to revenue and profitability.

Business quality (Weak): Clear product and service offering (vehicles plus battery leasing and charging), but the latest reported profitability is deeply negative (gross margin and operating margin are both negative), so investors typically need evidence that delivery scale and charging ecosystem growth can translate into improving margins.

Valuation: At 0× earnings, VFS trades 100% below the Automobiles & Trucks average (20×). Note: one-time items can distort reported P/E.

Bull case

Charging and battery ecosystem scale is growing: The company reports Charging Points with Global Access of 1,000,000 and Net New Charging Points Added of 100,000, and it reports Battery Swapping Stations (Current) of 7,000.
Unit delivery momentum across major product lines: It reports Electric Vehicle Deliveries of 86,557 and Electric Two-Wheeler Deliveries of 143,000.

Bear case

Profitability is currently heavily negative: For the period ended 2025-06-30, gross margin is -38.2% and operating margin is -76.5%.
Sales channel and counterparty mix could affect quality of revenue: It reports Deliveries to Related Parties (General Sales and Marketing) Share of 33% and Non-Related Party Electric Vehicle Delivery Mix of 81%, which highlights meaningful exposure to related-party mix.
Geographic and product mix concentration risks: It reports Overseas Share of Electric Vehicle Deliveries of 18% and Indonesia Share of Electric Vehicle Deliveries of 5%, and it discloses product mix shares for multiple models, indicating that demand shifts across models and regions could impact results.
