• Beneish M-Score = -1.4471, Vietnam peer percentile = 80th: the score sits above the US -1.78 threshold but, as noted, that cutoff is US-calibrated; the company ranks in the top 20% for aggressive accounting signals among Vietnamese peers.
• Year-over-year M-Score change = -2.20: a substantial annual move in the M-Score trajectory (the model’s consecutive-year correlation is low), which can indicate a change in accounting behavior even if one score alone is not dispositive.
• AQI (Asset Quality Index) = 10.0000: this component measures increases in asset reclassifications and new long-lived assets relative to prior periods; such a high AQI is an outlier and signals substantive asset-quality shifts to inspect.
• SGAI (Sales, General & Admin Index) = 1.3214: SGA expense growth outpaced sales (SGAI > 1), which can reflect margin pressure or cost recognition timing differences impacting profits.
• Revenue quality = 0.0/100: the earnings-quality subscore flags revenue as the weakest element — verify recognition policies and any one-off or non-recurring revenue lines.

• Accruals quality = 100.0/100: accruals appear high-quality by the scoring metrics, suggesting reported profit is not being materially inflated via accruals.
• Cash conversion (3-year operating cash flow / net profit) = 1.93, 74th percentile: while the percentile shows room relative to peers, the raw ratio >1 indicates operating cash generation has covered reported profit over the 3-year window.
• Receivables outside the trade cycle = 0.3% of total assets (17th percentile): low levels of non-trade receivables/prepayments/loans receivable versus assets reduce concern about off-cycle receivables growth.
• TATA (Total Accruals to Total Assets) = -0.3688 and LVGI (Leverage Index) = 1.0624: the negative TATA indicates low or reversing accrual buildup in the latest period, and modest leverage change (LVGI ~1.06) suggests leverage is not spiking.

The share register is heavily concentrated in state-controlled institutional owners: Công Ty TNHH Một Thành Viên Cảng Bến Nghé holds 45.1% and Công ty TNHH MTV Tổng Công ty Tân Cảng Sài Gòn holds 36.1%, with an additional 6.5% owned by a group-related company (Container Saigon). Two individuals are shown at 0.0%. This concentrated, group/state-linked ownership can affect related-party transactions, intra-group balances and disclosure incentives.

• Compare the year‑over‑year change that drives AQI = 10.0000 with the note(s) on fixed assets, reclassifications and impairment in the audited FY2025 financial statements.
• Reconcile revenue lines and the revenue-recognition policy with the Revenue Quality score (0/100): examine revenue schedules, contract notes and any one-off sales or related-party revenue disclosed in FY2025.
• Match the components behind cash conversion (3‑year operating cash flow / net profit = 1.93) to the consolidated cash-flow statement and the notes to receivables/payables to confirm timing differences or non-cash items.
• Review related-party balances, prepayments and loans in the notes (the receivables-outside-trade-cycle measure = 0.3% of assets) to confirm classification and counterparty details given the dominant state/group shareholders.
