On April 15, FPT held its 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. For 2025, the group set ambitious targets of 20% revenue growth and 21% pre-tax profit growth. In preparation, FPT has developed three scenarios to ensure flexibility and responsiveness amid potential market fluctuations.

Regarding the dividend policy from 2024's profits, FPT will pay a 20% cash dividend, with 10% already distributed in 2024 and the remaining 10% expected in Q2 of 2025.

FPT CEO Nguyen Van Khoa stated: “The 20% revenue growth target in 2025 is a bold challenge. We are determined but cautious. We will closely monitor market conditions and act swiftly to meet our goals.”

Given today’s volatile and unpredictable environment, Khoa emphasized that it is difficult to revise business plans at this stage. He proposed authorizing the Board of Directors to adjust plans if necessary, allowing for greater agility amid global economic uncertainties.

At the meeting, Chairman Truong Gia Binh said, “We will continue to invest in AI, semiconductors, digital transformation, and green transition because these technologies will reshape our country’s position and the global landscape.”

Discussing AI, Binh emphasized, “As AI becomes more widespread, the demand for AI factories will grow. FPT will develop sector-specific AI models like DeepSeek. We already have an AI tool for programming and plan to expand to industries such as chemicals and oil & gas.”

Within FPT’s strategy for AI, semiconductors, digital, and green transformation, AI is the core pillar. It focuses on four key goals. First, FPT will develop its own AI platforms and assistant systems, including large language models and specialized tools, as part of the FPT AI Agents platform. These models will be open-integrated and tailored to Vietnamese market characteristics and culture.

Second, AI will be central to boosting labor productivity. Every FPT employee and role will be supported or performed by an AI assistant. This AI-led shift is the next phase of FPT’s digital transformation, with a goal of creating one million AI assistants for daily tasks to enhance efficiency and output.

Third, AI will be embedded into all "made by FPT" products and services, making them smarter, more user-friendly, and highly automated, generating significant financial value for clients.

In the semiconductor sector, Vietnam has seen over 174 foreign direct investment (FDI) projects worth nearly USD 11.6 billion. Capitalizing on this, FPT is investing in talent, aiming to train 10,000 semiconductor engineers by 2030. The company also plans deeper involvement in the global supply chain, not only in design but also in key stages such as packaging, testing, and developing intelligent semiconductor and AI chips.

In automotive technology, the global digital and electric vehicle market is forecast to reach USD 6.8 trillion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.7%. This shift presents major opportunities for tech firms. FPT is focusing on developing smart vehicle operating systems with integrated AI to enhance safety and user experience, while expanding collaborations with major automakers to deploy breakthrough solutions.

In digital and green transformation, FPT is integrating AI across operations to help businesses and organizations improve efficiency and advance sustainable development.

In 2024, FPT recorded revenue of VND 62.849 trillion (approx. USD 2.55 billion) and pre-tax profit of VND 11.070 trillion (approx. USD 450 million), representing year-on-year growth of 19.4% and 20.3%, respectively.
