What Happened
According to the consolidated financial report, Dien May Xanh (DMX) posted a record quarterly profit in Q2 2026, with net revenue of VND 32,738 billion (+26% YoY) and net profit of VND 2,658 billion (+98% YoY). The company attributed the strong results to improved product mix and pricing, which lifted gross margin to 20.1% in H1, up from 17.7% a year earlier. Key product categories saw robust growth: air conditioners (+60%), iPhones (+50%), and laptops, refrigerators, and home appliances (+35%).
The company also highlighted the strategic shift to ‘growth by quality’—focusing on store productivity rather than store count. Despite a slight reduction in store numbers, same-store sales growth across all three chains (The Gioi Di Dong, Dien May Xanh, TopZone) exceeded 28%. Additionally, Apple’s upgrade of Vietnam to Tier 1 status in late 2025, allowing same-day iPhone launches as the US, is expected to boost DMX ahead of the iPhone 18 release.
Market Context
DMX is currently listed on UPCOM, with its HoSE listing scheduled for August 6. The IPO, which raised about $500 million, saw strong demand from institutional investors, with 73% of shares sold to foreign funds. The company’s stock has been supported by robust earnings growth and its dominant position in the electronics retail sector. The broader Vietnamese retail sector has been recovering, and DMX’s focus on consumer finance and services is seen as a key differentiator.
Strategic Significance
DMX’s record profit and successful IPO highlight the effectiveness of its ‘growth by quality’ strategy, which prioritizes same-store sales growth and margin expansion over store count. The company’s dominant 80% market share in consumer finance for electronics provides a stable revenue stream, while its services arm (Tho DMX) is transitioning from a cost center to a profit generator. The international expansion via Erablue in Indonesia, which has reached breakeven, offers a potential growth avenue, with plans to scale to 300-350 stores by end-2026 and possibly IPO the chain locally. The HoSE listing is expected to increase liquidity and attract more institutional investors.
