What CEO Group does

CEO Group is a publicly listed Vietnamese conglomerate headquartered in Hanoi, trading on the Hanoi Stock Exchange under the ticker HNX:CEO. Founded in 2001 by Chairman Doan Binh, the company operates across five primary business verticals: real estate, resort real estate, construction, tourism and hotel management, and human resource development. With a workforce of 1,001-5,000 employees, it functions as a diversified holding entity within Vietnam's property and hospitality sectors.

The company's revenue model is anchored in development and sale of real estate assets, construction contracting services, and operational management of hospitality and tourism properties. Disclosed revenue figures indicate a company operating at a scale of tens of trillions of Vietnamese dong annually — approximately 50.9 trillion VND in 2025 and 51.5 trillion VND in 2024 — placing it among the mid-to-large cap enterprises on Vietnam's HNX exchange. Revenue peaked at approximately 107.9 trillion VND in 2022 before declining materially through 2023-2025, consistent with the broader correction in Vietnam's real estate market during that period.

Profitability metrics reveal a more resilient profile than top-line trends suggest. Despite the revenue contraction, EBITDA margins remained positive and net income of 6.74 trillion VND in 2025 indicates the company has maintained earnings power through what appears to be cost discipline or portfolio rationalization. The company serves a mix of Vietnamese consumers (residential and resort buyers, tourists) and B2B clients (construction contracts), though specific customer concentration data is not available. The company's primary website (ceogroup.com.vn) returned only a verification/loading page during data collection, limiting the ability to extract further operational detail.
