Despite the dual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the rising price of construction materials, FECON JSC (Ticker: FCN – HoSE) announced the consolidated financial statement for the first 6 months of 2021 with net revenue of VND 1.341 billion, the profit after-tax is more than VND 50,3 billion (increased by 12% and 38,9% over the same period in 2020).

According to FECON leaders, similar to the first quarter, the positive business result is the contribution of wind power projects that FECON is implementing as C.BoP contractor (general contractor for construction and infrastructure), especially projects with good construction progress such as B&T Quang Binh wind power farm (total value of bidding is VND 1.180 billion), Thai Hoa wind power (total value of bidding is VND 276 billion), Quoc Vinh Soc Trang wind power (total value of bidding is VND 440 billion)…
“We believes that FECON can realize the business target in 2021. Partly it is because of nearly 10 wind power projects that the parent company and subsidiaries are rushing to deploy and assure COD before November 1st, 2021. On the other hand, in the near future, FECON plans to sign many other bidding packages with great contract value; along with divestment plan from some investment project…”, FECON representative added.
In the development strategy, FECON aims to become the general contractor for industrial and infrastructure construction, possessing excellent capacity in foundation and underground construction. In 2021, FECON aims to sign new contracts with value of about VND 5.000 billion. Up to now, the new signing value has reached about VND 1.500 billion.
