Many bank shareholders are sad because they are not receiving dividends.

During the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, a series of banks have finalized the dividend payout ratio for the past business year. However, there are still banks that do not pay dividends, leaving shareholders disappointed.

For example, at the recent 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, An Binh Commercial Joint Stock Bank (stock code ABB) proposed to retain all remaining undistributed profits to supplement capital sources to implement the strategic plan, creating internal accumulation to increase charter capital in the future. ABB's total undistributed profits are currently VND 1,840.7 billion. This means that shareholders will not receive dividends. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of ABBank explained that the bank needs to spend money to invest and build a foundation. Therefore, we hope that shareholders will be patient so that we can reap sweeter fruits because strategies cannot be done quickly, they need time and perseverance.

Sacombank has not paid dividends for many years.

Or Saigon Thuong Tin Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Sacombank) has just announced the documents for the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. In Sacombank's submission on the profit distribution plan for the 2023 fiscal year and the profit distribution plan for the 2024 fiscal year, there is no mention of the dividend plan. Sacombank's consolidated profit after tax and fund allocations at the end of 2023 is more than VND 5,700 billion.

Previously, at the 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, answering questions from shareholders about dividends, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sacombank said that Sacombank is a special bank, subject to restructuring, so it cannot pay dividends yet.
