Gini · Companies & sectors · 2026-10-27 · https://ginity.vn/en/blog/techcombank-q3-2026-earnings-analysis _Lead analyst: Đào Ngọc Bảo Linh · Finance and securities specialist · Ho Chi Minh City · 0932 439 639_ ## Key takeaways - Techcombank recorded VND 10,375 billion in pre-tax profit for Q3 2026, up 25.8% compared to the third quarter of 2025. - Cumulative pre-tax profit for the first 9 months of 2026 reached VND 28,915 billion, fulfilling 77.1% of the full-year target of VND 37,500 billion. - Year-to-date credit expansion reached 16.7% in September 2026, with corporate bond holdings rising 64.5% to VND 92,934 billion. - The balance sheet non-performing loan ratio stood at 1.36% (1.26% excluding CIC impact) as of September 30, 2026, while the capital adequacy ratio was 15.0%. ## Thesis According to the business results release published on October 20, 2026 by [Techcombank](https://techcombank.com/content/dam/techcombank/public-site/documents/3q26-press-release-vie.pdf), pre-tax profit in Q3 2026 reached VND 10,375 billion, representing an increase of 25.8% compared to Q3 2025. For the first nine months of 2026, cumulative pre-tax profit reached VND 28,915 billion, up 23.7% year-on-year per [Techcombank](https://techcombank.com/content/dam/techcombank/public-site/documents/3q26-press-release-vie.pdf), completing 77.1% of the full-year target of VND 37,500 billion according to [MBS](https://www.mbs.com.vn/files/uploads/2026/10/TCB_AM_3Q26.pdf). According to financial statements reported by [Techcombank](https://techcombank.com/content/dam/techcombank/public-site/documents/3q26-press-release-vie.pdf), total operating income across the first nine months of 2026 reached VND 45,204 billion, an increase of 17.1% year-on-year. Net interest income in Q3 2026 came in at VND 11,700 billion, expanding 17.9% compared to Q3 2025 as the balance sheet asset base widened. The bank's reported quarterly net interest margin recovered to 3.5%, improving by 10 basis points from 3.4% in Q2 2026 (while research models from [Vietcap](https://www.vietcap.com.vn/trung-tam-phan-tich/tcb-loi-nhuan-quy-3-but-pha-nho-nim-tiep-tuc-phuc-hoi-va-thu-nhap-phi-duy-tri-da-tang-truong-manh-me-du-chat-luong-tai-san-co-phan-suy-giam-bao-cao-kqkd) and [MBS](https://www.mbs.com.vn/files/uploads/2026/10/TCB_AM_3Q26.pdf) estimated Q3 2026 NIM at 3.80%). According to loan figures reported by [Techcombank](https://techcombank.com/content/dam/techcombank/public-site/documents/3q26-press-release-vie.pdf), the balance sheet non-performing loan ratio including CIC impact as of September 30, 2026 rose to 1.36% from 1.15% on June 30, 2026 (or 1.26% excluding CIC impact), while group 2 watch-list loans climbed to 0.94% of total outstanding loans as noted by [Vietcap](https://www.vietcap.com.vn/trung-tam-phan-tich/tcb-loi-nhuan-quy-3-but-pha-nho-nim-tiep-tuc-phuc-hoi-va-thu-nhap-phi-duy-tri-da-tang-truong-manh-me-du-chat-luong-tai-san-co-phan-suy-giam-bao-cao-kqkd). Fast credit expansion thus coincided with emerging balance sheet dispersion between volume and risk. ## Catalysts The primary catalyst emerged from a rebound in non-interest fee income. According to the Q3 2026 earnings release published by [Techcombank](https://techcombank.com/content/dam/techcombank/public-site/documents/3q26-press-release-vie.pdf), net fee income (NFI) in Q3 2026 reached VND 4.2 trillion, advancing 44.6% compared to Q3 2025. Meanwhile, according to research published on October 22, 2026 by [MBS](https://www.mbs.com.vn/files/uploads/2026/10/TCB_AM_3Q26.pdf), net fee income in Q3 2026 was calculated at VND 3,615 billion, up 59.5% year-on-year. Cumulative insurance service fee income across the first nine months of 2026 surged 106.1% year-on-year per [Vietcap](https://www.vietcap.com.vn/trung-tam-phan-tich/tcb-loi-nhuan-quy-3-but-pha-nho-nim-tiep-tuc-phuc-hoi-va-thu-nhap-phi-duy-tri-da-tang-truong-manh-me-du-chat-luong-tai-san-co-phan-suy-giam-bao-cao-kqkd), while the [Techcombank](https://techcombank.com/content/dam/techcombank/public-site/documents/3q26-press-release-vie.pdf) earnings release confirmed Techcom Life maintained its leadership position in bancassurance distribution and ranked in the Top 5 in new business in Q3 2026. Fee income from letters of credit (LC) services across the first 9 months of 2026 grew 136.6% year-on-year according to [Techcombank](https://techcombank.com/content/dam/techcombank/public-site/documents/3q26-press-release-vie.pdf). The second operational catalyst came from the investment banking and securities subsidiary. According to an update report published on October 22, 2026 by [VNDIRECT](https://www.vndirect.com.vn/vndirect-resource/nextcom/attachment/2026-10-22/TCB_BCKQKD_20261022.pdf), TCBS delivered pre-tax profit of VND 2,150 billion in Q3 2026. Through the first nine months of 2026, TCBS contributed VND 5,700 billion in pre-tax profit, up 13.0% year-on-year, supported by active equity market trading turnover and renewed bond distribution mandates. The third catalyst was a structural drop in credit provisioning charges during the period. According to research published on October 22, 2026 by [MBS](https://www.mbs.com.vn/files/uploads/2026/10/TCB_AM_3Q26.pdf), provision expenses in Q3 2026 dropped to VND 917 billion, down 38.8% from VND 1,499 billion booked in Q3 2025. This reduction in provisioning provided direct support to the parent bank's 25.8% pre-tax earnings growth rate in Q3 2026. ## Valuation framework According to equity research published on October 22, 2026 by [MBS](https://www.mbs.com.vn/files/uploads/2026/10/TCB_AM_3Q26.pdf), TCB recorded a price-to-book multiple of 1.22x. On balance sheet solvency, consolidated Basel II capital adequacy reached 15.0% as of September 30, 2026, with Tier 1 capital standing at 14.1% as reported by [Techcombank](https://techcombank.com/content/dam/techcombank/public-site/documents/3q26-press-release-vie.pdf). The loan-to-deposit ratio (LDR) stood at 77.7% as of September 30, 2026 as reported by [Techcombank](https://techcombank.com/content/dam/techcombank/public-site/documents/3q26-press-release-vie.pdf). According to disclosures by [Techcombank](https://techcombank.com/content/dam/techcombank/public-site/documents/3q26-press-release-vie.pdf), the cost-to-income ratio stood at 31.9% in Q3 2026 and 30.5% across the first nine months of 2026. The current account savings account ratio was 35.5% on September 30, 2026 when including the automated yield savings balance (or 32.5% excluding automated savings as noted by [MBS](https://www.mbs.com.vn/files/uploads/2026/10/TCB_AM_3Q26.pdf)). | Consolidated financial metric (VND billion) | Q3 2025 | Q3 2026 | YoY growth | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Net interest income | 9,925 | 11,700 | +17.9% | | Non-interest income | 4,317 | 4,888 | +13.2% | | Total operating income | 14,242 | 16,588 | +16.5% | | Operating expenses | 4,493 | 5,295 | +17.9% | | Provision expenses | 1,499 | 917 | -38.8% | | Pre-tax profit | 8,250 | 10,375 | +25.8% | | Net profit after tax | 6,419 | 7,943 | +23.7% | Source: Compiled from Techcombank press releases and Vietcap earnings analysis report (October 2026). ## Key risks The primary risk centers on portfolio concentration in real estate and construction financing. According to research published by [MBS](https://www.mbs.com.vn/files/uploads/2026/10/TCB_AM_3Q26.pdf), the share of real estate loans in total credit declined to 30% as of September 30, 2026, down from 34% in the third quarter of 2025 (while disclosures by [Techcombank](https://techcombank.com/content/dam/techcombank/public-site/documents/3q26-press-release-vie.pdf) note 29.9%). Slower regulatory approvals or muted residential transaction volumes would add delinquency pressure across group 2 loans and non-performing debts over upcoming quarters. The second risk is the narrowing of loan loss coverage buffers. Based on data published by [VNDIRECT](https://www.vndirect.com.vn/vndirect-resource/nextcom/attachment/2026-10-22/TCB_BCKQKD_20261022.pdf), the loan loss reserve coverage ratio fell to 107.1% as of September 30, 2026, down from 125.6% recorded at the end of the second quarter of 2026 (June 30, 2026). With reserve coverage reduced, future quarters offer limited room to cut provisioning costs further if non-performing loan formation remains elevated. The third risk stems from lending rate cut mandates. On October 19, 2026, the [Government Portal](https://baochinhphu.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-hop-voi-cac-to-chuc-tin-dung-yeu-cau-giam-lai-suat-102261019120819748.htm) reported that the State Bank of Vietnam directed credit institutions to reduce borrowing rates by 1.5% to 2.0% annually for designated priority industries in October 2026. In compliance, on October 22, 2026 the [Government Portal](https://baochinhphu.vn/techcombank-giam-lai-suat-cho-vay-den-2-trien-khai-cac-goi-tin-dung-uu-dai-102261022203557827.htm) confirmed that Techcombank initiated a VND 40,000 billion preferential package lowering interest rates by up to 2.0% for business and personal clients. Applying these discounted lending yields in Q4 2026 may weigh on interest-earning asset margins. ## Broker views In October 2026, research desks at three securities brokerages published updated models on Techcombank following its Q3 2026 release. Each research team emphasized different core drivers and structural assumptions. | Brokerage house | Report date | Highlighted earnings driver | 2026 NIM assumption | Key risk identified | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Vietcap | 20/10/2026 | NIM recovery to 3.80% and 106.1% 9M jump in insurance fees | Full-year 2026 NIM forecasted at 3.60% | Asset quality softening as group 2 loans rise to 0.94% | | VNDIRECT | 22/10/2026 | Credit growth of 16.7% beating 11.59% system rate and TCBS VND 2,150 billion profit | Q3 2026 actual NIM at 3.8% | CASA contraction to 35.5% raising cost of funds | | MBS Research | 22/10/2026 | Provision charges declining 38.8% to VND 917 billion | TCB full-year NIM guidance around 3.5% | Reserve coverage dropping to 107.1% leaves thin room for cuts | Source: Compiled from research reports by Vietcap, VNDIRECT, and MBS Research (October 2026). According to the report published on October 20, 2026 by [Vietcap](https://www.vietcap.com.vn/trung-tam-phan-tich/tcb-loi-nhuan-quy-3-but-pha-nho-nim-tiep-tuc-phuc-hoi-va-thu-nhap-phi-duy-tri-da-tang-truong-manh-me-du-chat-luong-tai-san-co-phan-suy-giam-bao-cao-kqkd), net interest margin rebounded to 3.80% in Q3 2026 under the brokerage model supported by credit portfolio optimization and asset yield expansion, while full-year 2026 NIM is forecasted at 3.60%, alongside insurance fee income surging 106.1% year-on-year across the first nine months of 2026. However, Vietcap flagged the increase in group 2 loans to 0.94% as an indicator warranting vigilance regarding medium-term asset quality. According to research published on October 22, 2026 by [VNDIRECT](https://www.vndirect.com.vn/vndirect-resource/nextcom/attachment/2026-10-22/TCB_BCKQKD_20261022.pdf), year-to-date credit expansion reached 16.7%, exceeding the broader banking system growth rate of 11.59%. VNDIRECT observed that medium- and long-term loans reached 60.7% of total credit, but cautioned that a 275-basis-point drop in CASA to 35.5% could constrain margin expansion heading into the final quarter of 2026. According to an analysis published on October 22, 2026 by [MBS](https://www.mbs.com.vn/files/uploads/2026/10/TCB_AM_3Q26.pdf), quarterly provisioning costs dropped 38.8% to VND 917 billion, while corporate bond investments rose 64.5% year-to-date to VND 92,934 billion.
