They are Vietnam Dairy Products JSC (Vinamilk), Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam (Vietcombank), FPT Corporation (FPT), PetroVietnam Gas Corporation (PV Gas) and real estate firm Vingroup.
The firms were recognised for their market value and growth potential.
Vinamilk, Vietcombank and PV Gas were also among top 100 companies in Asia. They ranked 25th, 54th and 84th, respectively.
The rankings were based on the firms' five-year average growth in revenue and net profit, return-on-equity (ROE) ratio, net profit margin and shareholder equity (to-asset) ratio.
Apart from FPT, the other companies are also among the top 10 largest listed firms on the Vietnamese stock market.
