What Happened
The board of DNP Water has approved the full divestment of its stakes in two water companies in Bình Thuận province: Công ty Cổ phần Cấp thoát nước Bình Thuận (57.26% owned) and Công ty Cổ phần Bình Hiệp (70.77% owned). The decision, announced via a company resolution, is part of a strategy to concentrate resources on larger, inter-regional water infrastructure projects.
The company is focusing on the Tiền River water supply project and the Southwest Hậu River water supply project in the Mekong Delta. These projects aim to address water security, drought, saltwater intrusion, and groundwater depletion. Phase 1 of the Tiền River project is under construction and expected to be completed in Q1/2027, providing raw water to existing plants and serving about two million people in Đồng Tháp, Tây Ninh, and Vĩnh Long. The Southwest Hậu River project is being promoted to supply surface water to Cần Thơ and the Cà Mau peninsula, reducing groundwater extraction and mitigating land subsidence.
Market Context
DNP Holding (HNX: DNP) closed at VND 20,000 on September 8, 2026. The divestment comes as DNP Water shifts its portfolio toward mega-projects, which may affect short-term earnings but aligns with long-term growth in Vietnam’s water infrastructure sector. The Mekong Delta projects are part of a national push to secure water resources amid climate change pressures.
Strategic Significance
For long-term investors, this divestment signals DNP Water’s strategic pivot from smaller regional assets to large-scale, inter-regional projects with higher growth potential. The involvement of Samsung E&A as a strategic partner enhances execution capability. The planned IPO from 2027 could provide a liquidity event and unlock value, but success depends on timely project delivery and regulatory approvals.
What to Watch
- Completion of the Tiền River project phase 1 by Q1/2027.
- Progress on the Southwest Hậu River project and any new partnerships or financing.
- Details of the divestment transactions, including valuation and buyer identity.
