Forecasting difficulties, many businesses reduce revenue and profit targets

Quang Ngai Sugar Joint Stock Company (QNS) has just announced a Resolution approving the 2023 production and business plan. QNS estimates its 2022 business results with consolidated revenue of VND 8,300 billion and after-tax profit of VND 1,198 billion, up 13% and down 4% respectively compared to 2021. According to the estimated results, QNS exceeded the revenue plan by 4% and exceeded the after-tax profit plan by 19% in 2022. However, in the new year, the company set a target of consolidated revenue of VND 8,400 billion and after-tax profit of VND 1,008 billion. Thus, the 2023 revenue plan increased slightly by 1.2% but the profit plan decreased by 16% compared to the estimated results in 2022.

Similarly, another company, Dabaco Vietnam Group Joint Stock Company (DBC), also plans to see a sharp decrease in profits in the new year.

Specifically, total revenue decreased by 16% to VND 2,631 billion, consolidated profit after tax of the parent company decreased by 64% to VND 300 billion.
