VinFast Auto (NASDAQ:VFS) announced its quarterly earnings data on Monday. The company reported ($0.60) EPS for the quarter, Zacks reports. The firm had revenue of $1.57 billion for the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $1.12 billion.

Here are the key takeaways from VinFast Auto’s conference call:

• VinFast reported record deliveries with 86,557 EVs in Q4 and 196,919 EVs for 2025, and is guiding to at least 300,000 EV deliveries in 2026 while expecting two‑wheeler volumes to rise >2.5x.
• Revenue grew to $3.6 billion (FY2025) and gross margins improved, but the company remains deeply unprofitable (Q4 net loss $1.4 billion, adjusted EBITDA still negative) and took a one‑time $236 million impairment on the North Carolina project while flagging large 2026 CapEx and R&D needs that imply continued cash burn despite reported liquidity of $3.1 billion.
• Management is pushing a vertically integrated, software‑defined EV strategy — including EE 2.0, in‑house ADAS/battery R&D and partnerships with Tensor and Autobrains — which it says will lower BOM costs, enable subscription features, and open potential tech revenue streams.
• VinFast has expanded its global manufacturing footprint to four facilities with combined annual capacity of about 600,000 EVs, plans to resume North Carolina construction for a 2028 SOP, and expects scale and localization to drive further unit‑cost improvements.
