Higher prices due to a recovery in China and good inventory and cost management saw the steel industry put up an improved performance in the first quarter.

The consolidated revenues of Hoa Phat Group, the company with a third of the construction steel market share, increased by only 3% but it managed to reverse its two-quarter losing streak with profits of VND380 billion (US$16.2 million). Steel accounted for 94% of the profit.

Vietnam Steel Corporation turned around to make a profit of VND70 billion after three quarters of losses, while Hoa Sen Group reported a profit of VND250 billion after two quarters of losses. The latter’s management had forecast profits of VND50 billion.
