- The bonds are secured by 164.89 million Thaco Agri shares owned by THACO, valued at approximately VND 2,000 billion, implying a collateral coverage ratio of 200%.
- Proceeds will be used to prepay existing loans, including a loan to THACO and a credit facility at BIDV (Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam).

What Happened
According to a credit rating report published by Saigon Ratings, Dai Quang Minh intends to issue a bond lot totaling VND 1,000 billion. The bonds are non-convertible, without warrants, and secured by assets. The company plans to use the raised funds to prepay a portion of its existing loans, specifically a loan with THACO and a credit contract at BIDV.
The collateral for the bond obligations is 164.89 million shares of Thaco Agri, owned by THACO. Based on an appraisal certificate cited in the report, these shares are valued at approximately VND 2,000 billion, giving a collateral-to-issue ratio of 200%. The report also notes that Dai Quang Minh operates in investment, construction, and real estate development, including urban areas, industrial zones, and transport infrastructure.
Saigon Ratings assessed Dai Quang Minh as having a large asset scale in the industry, with an EBITDA margin significantly higher than the industry median. However, the rating agency also flagged limitations: the company is in a phase of expanding its investment and project development activities, leading to high dependence on new capital mobilization and substantial medium- and long-term funding needs.
Market Context
Dai Quang Minh is not listed on any exchange, but its major shareholder THACO is associated with publicly listed entities. The bond issuance comes amid a broader trend of Vietnamese real estate and conglomerate-linked companies tapping the corporate bond market for refinancing and expansion. BIDV, one of the lenders being repaid, is listed on HOSE (ticker: BID) and closed at VND 36,850 on September 1, 2026. The transaction underscores the interconnectedness of Vietnam’s banking and real estate sectors, with BIDV’s credit exposure to major developers like THACO’s ecosystem being a point of focus for investors.
Strategic Significance
For long-term investors, this bond issue signals Dai Quang Minh’s aggressive growth strategy and its reliance on capital markets to fund large-scale projects. The use of Thaco Agri shares as collateral—valued at twice the bond size—provides a layer of security for bondholders, but also highlights the concentration of risk within the THACO group. The company’s financial performance, with a surge in after-tax profit to VND 4,069 billion in 2025, suggests strong operational momentum, yet the rising bank debt (up over 90%) indicates increasing leverage. The success of this issuance will be a test of investor appetite for THACO-linked paper and could influence the group’s ability to raise further capital for its agricultural and real estate ventures.
What to Watch
- Completion and pricing of the VND 1,000 billion bond issuance, including actual coupon and demand.
- Dai Quang Minh’s financial statements for 2026, particularly cash flow and debt service coverage.
- Any further bond issuances by Dai Quang Minh or other THACO subsidiaries in the coming quarters.
- Regulatory updates on corporate bond issuance rules in Vietnam, which could affect the structure and timing.
- BIDV’s credit risk metrics and exposure to the real estate sector, as disclosed in its quarterly reports.
