According to VnDirect, profits of large-cap and small-cap stocks increased 25 per cent and 7.9 per cent, respectively, in the second quarter of this year. Profits in the financial services group fell 100.7 per cent, primarily due to the stock market tumbling over the past few months, a sharp fall in brokerage and proprietary trading, and margin lending factors.
