VinFast Auto Ltd
VinFast Auto makes electric vehicles, including SUVs, scooters, and related parts. It sells its vehicles to individual buyers and fleet customers, and it also works with dealers and other sales channels in markets where it wants to expand. The company is best understood as a manufacturer and seller of EVs rather than a software or battery company. VinFast earns money mainly by selling vehicles and, over time, by selling service parts and related after-sales support. Its business depends on manufacturing, assembling, and delivering finished vehicles, then supporting owners through warranty, maintenance, and repair networks. That makes it a classic auto business, but with a focus on electric drivetrains instead of gasoline engines. What sets VinFast apart is that it tries to build a full EV brand and manufacturing footprint at the same time, instead of only licensing technology or only acting as a dealer. That means it sits close to the customer and also deep in the production chain, which gives it more control over the product but also makes execution more demanding than for a pure sales or service company.

Deliveries: VinFast reported record volumes in Q4 2025 with 86,557 EVs and 196,919 EVs for the full year; total vehicle deliveries (including 2‑wheelers) were 406,496 for 2025.
Revenue: Q4 revenue was $1.6 billion (up 118% QoQ, 139% YoY); full year revenue was $3.6 billion (up 105% YoY).
Margins: Gross margin improved to negative 40% in Q4 2025 (negative 79% a year earlier); on an adjusted basis Q4 gross margin would have been negative 28%. Management says cost and BOM optimizations are sustainable.
Profitability path: Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 was negative $1.0 billion (margin -65%); excluding certain timing and one‑offs adjusted EBITDA margin would have been -37%. Management reiterated a multi‑year path to profitability tied to scale, next‑gen platforms and EE 2.0.
Liquidity & CapEx: Cash and equivalents totaled $3.1 billion at 12/31/2025; total 2025 CapEx was $922 million and Q4 CapEx was $304 million. Management expects continued heavy CapEx to scale factories in 2026.
Guidance & production capacity: 2026 target is at least 300,000 EV deliveries. VinFast says current combined global capacity exceeds 600,000 EVs and 500,000 e‑scooters per year.
Strategic investments: Continued push on vertically integrated, software‑defined EVs (ADAS, EE 2.0), robotaxi partnerships (Tensa/Tensor), expansion of e‑scooter battery‑swap network and international dealer buildouts.
One‑offs & U.S. factory: Q4 included a $236 million impairment related to the North Carolina factory (timing revision); management expects construction to resume in 2026 with SOP targeted for 2028.
