Danang Rubber Co. expects profit increase by 14% this year

Vietnamese tyre maker Danang Rubber Company (DRC, listed at VSE) said on Tuesday it expected a 14% rise in net profit this year to 63 billion dong ($3.9 million).

Revenues of the firm, which produces tyres for bicycles, motorbikes and cars, were expected to rise 15.5% from last year to 1.07 trillion dong ($66.5 million), company president Nguyen Quoc Tuan said in a statement.

The rises in revenues and profit would come from expanded production capacity and robust export demand, especially for made-to-order special tyres, Tuan said in the statement published by the Ho Chi Minh City Securities Center.

Exports were expected to rise 13% from last year to $5 million, the statement said.

On Tuesday, shares in the Danang-based firm fell 3.4% to 199,000 dong ($12.4).
