Nam Kim Steel’s termination of the Steel Pipe Factory project comes amid some negative signs in the company’s business results. In addition, steel production is also an industry that is heavily affected by the global economic recession.
In the third quarter of 2023, Nam Kim Steel recorded revenue of VND 4,262.1 billion, down about 3.7% over the same period. Gross profit reached VND 205 billion, equivalent to a profit margin of 4.8%. Profit after tax brought in VND 23.7 billion, up from the same period of loss of VND 442.4 billion.

Compared to the business target set at the beginning of the year with revenue of VND 20,000 billion and profit of VND 400 billion, after the end of the third quarter of 2023, Nam Kim Steel has only completed 36.7% of the annual profit plan.
