95 Figure 24 Industrial production 2021 – 2022 .1 Overview of the global and Vietnamese real estate industry Real estate is an industry that plays a very important role in the economy, is a contributing factor to promoting investment capital mobilization, promoting production and development, increasing state budget revenue, expanding markets, and contributing to socio-economic stability. The real estate industry not only contributes significantly to a country's GDP but also promotes other industries to develop such as construction materials, finance or labour, solving the problem of unemployment. Because of its importance, the government always has appropriate mechanisms and policies so that the real estate market can develop stronger and healthier. The Vietnam Real Estate Association recently released a study showing that the contribution of the real estate market in GDP in the period 2019-2021 is about 14%.
The real estate market can spread to over 40 other important sectors of the economy and become a bridge for other markets, contributing to the synchronous development of all types of markets. When the final demand for the real estate industry increases by VND 1,000 billion, it will stimulate the production value of the remaining industries to VND 772 billion and spread to an additional value of VND 191 billion. The research report of the Real Estate Association: "In case the production value of the real estate industry group changes by 10%, GDP will decrease by 1,247%; the processing and manufacturing industry was the most affected, down 0. This was followed by agriculture, forestry and fisheries (down 0.352%); other services (down 0.
10 In addition, quantifying the scale of real estate assets can be seen that in 2020 alone, the proportion of real estate / total assets of the whole economy accounts for 20.82 billion USD); in 2025 it is 21.09 billion) and it is estimated that by 2030 it will be 22. If the year 2020, the added value of real estate industries is estimated at VND 484.89 billion), accounting for 7.7% of GDP, by 2025 it is estimated at VND 1,249.84 billion), accounting for 9.72% of GDP; in 2030, it is estimated at VND 3,428.71 billion), accounting for 13. In 2020 – 2021, the world economy was heavily affected by the COVID-19 epidemic and the real estate industry is no exception. In general, the country's market in all sectors is quiet and quite gloomy due to prolonged social distancing activities.
Particularly, the real estate market also recorded many sharp declines in many indicators. The picture of Vietnam's real estate market in these years is also quite dark due to impossible transactions, a sharp decline in supply, and an increase in inventories. However, if it is said that in 2021, Vietnam's real estate market is not positive, it is not true because besides the difficulties and challenges of the epidemic in 2020, at the beginning of 2021, the real estate market has many strong marks, quite optimistic. Specifically, right from the beginning of 2021, the market received a series of land fevers on a large scale, from big cities such as Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City to provinces such as Quang Ninh, Bac Giang, Thanh Hoa, Binh Phuoc, Dong Nai.
There are places where land prices doubled in just a few months. Along with land fever nationwide, 2021 is also 11 a year that has witnessed an unprecedented increase in the number of real estate investors participating in the market, proportional to the number of investors participating in the stock market. As a result, there have been many real estate brokers, stockbrokers and new accounts opened at securities companies (Thuong, 2022). The year 2021 is also the year when the shares of real estate companies have achieved quite deep marks with strong growth thanks to the land fund of owned enterprises, the government's public investment cash flow makes not only real estate but also real estate companies' shares very hot during this time.
As a result, the revenue of real estate companies has increased quite impressively this year through the sale of apartments and projects and receiving huge profits from securities investment or huge capital mobilization from bond issuance.2 Area of study Along with the craze of the real estate industry in the past year, the dissertation will go into the analysis of 4 real estate companies that are said to be outstanding and have quite impressive growth in the past year: Ba Ria - Vung Tau Housing Development JSC (HDC), Construction Investment Development Joint Stock Corporation (DIG), Khang Dien Housing Trading and Investment Joint Stock Company (KDH), Nam Long Investment Joint Stock Company (NLG). In the past year Construction Investment Development Joint Stock Corporation (DIG) has emerged as a company with a huge land bank and skyrocketing stock price. According to analysis reports with such a huge land fund, DIG's share price can reach a valuation of 500,000VND per share. In fact, in January of 2021, the price of DIG shares fell to about 21,000VND per share, but after a year also in January 2022, the price of DIG shares reached 102,000 VND per share.
This 12 impressive increase took place when DIG's land bank was reported on the pages of newspapers. During that time, DIG rose strongly from a low-cap company to the industry's leading leader in the stock market (Café f, 2021). Ba Ria - Vung Tau Housing Development JSC (HDC) also has an impressive growth, joining stocks worth VND 100,000 per share. In the first months of 2020, HDC shares are worth around 10,000VND per share, but after 2 years the value of HDC shares has reached nearly 100,000 VNDD per share through the information that HDC will make huge profits from two big projects, The Light City and Ngoc Tuoc 2 (Café f, 2021).
Changing to strong small stocks, Khang Dien Housing Trading and Investment Joint Stock Company (KDH) or Nam Long Investment Joint Stock Company (NLG) are real estate companies evaluated by securities companies as quite large also had impressive momentum when KDH reported a profit of nearly 500% VND in 2021, the stock peaked of KDH after 11 years or NLG is a company famous for its clean land fund, the project is located in prime locations, so this stock has never ceased to be prestigious with both individual, institutional or foreign investors who want to own it (Café f, 2022). NLG through valuation methods, the stock price does not go up according to the news but up according to the capacity of the enterprise, so owning an NLG stock, investors can completely trust the value of the stock.3 Study objectives Through the analysis of the dissertation, readers can get the most general view of the real estate industry and can make for themselves investment decisions suitable for prominent companies in the industry through valuation methods and other analysis.
