What Happened
The Board of Directors of Binh Dien Fertilizer (BFC) approved the closure of the shareholder list for the 2025 cash dividend payment. According to the resolution, the dividend rate is 35%, meaning each share receives 3,500 VND. The record date is August 12, 2026, and payment will be made on August 28, 2026. With over 57.16 million shares outstanding, the company expects to disburse about 200.09 billion VND for this dividend.
BFC, known for its “Dau Trau” (Buffalo Head) brand, reported 2025 revenue of over 10,753 billion VND, up 13.3% year-on-year. However, cost of goods sold grew faster, leading to a nearly 6% decline in net profit to over 400 billion VND. In Q1 2026, revenue rose 31.1% to over 3,392 billion VND, while net profit increased 28% to over 142 billion VND.
Market Context
BFC shares closed at 55,500 VND on July 16, 2026, on HOSE. The stock has likely been supported by the company’s consistent dividend policy and improving quarterly earnings. The fertilizer sector in Vietnam benefits from strong agricultural demand, but input cost volatility remains a risk. BFC’s Q1 2026 performance suggests a recovery from the margin compression seen in 2025.
Strategic Significance
The 35% cash dividend underscores BFC’s strong cash flow generation and commitment to shareholder returns. Despite a dip in 2025 net profit, the company maintained a high payout ratio, signaling confidence in its financial position. The Q1 2026 earnings rebound indicates that cost pressures may be easing, and the company’s production plan for Q2 2026 targets 201,539 tons of output and 202,200 tons of sales, albeit with a sequential decline. Long-term investors should monitor margin trends and input costs.
What to Watch
- Q2 2026 earnings release for margin and profit trends.
- Production and sales volumes versus the Q2 plan.
- Movements in global fertilizer and raw material prices.
- Any updates on dividend policy for 2026.
- Share price reaction around the ex-dividend date.
