Overview
PVFCCo-Phu My (DPM) has announced a 15% cash dividend for 2025, equivalent to VND 1,500 per share, exceeding the 12% plan approved at the annual general meeting. The dividend will be paid from retained earnings, with the record date set in July 2026. The move reflects the company’s strong 2025 financial performance, but contrasts with a more conservative 2026 business plan.
Key Facts
- DPM declared a 15% cash dividend for 2025, or VND 1,500 per share, versus the approved 12% plan.
- Total dividend payout is estimated at over VND 1,019 billion, based on nearly 680 million outstanding shares.
- Parent company Petrovietnam, holding 59.59% of DPM, is expected to receive about VND 607 billion.
- In 2025, DPM reported consolidated revenue of VND 16,564.4 billion (133% of target) and net profit of VND 1,095 billion (342% of target), up 98% year-on-year.
- For 2026, DPM targets consolidated revenue of over VND 17,600 billion and net profit of VND 680 billion, significantly lower than 2025 actuals.
- The company plans a 12% cash dividend for 2026, pending shareholder approval.
- In Q1 2026, DPM recorded revenue of VND 5,706 billion (32% of full-year target) and pre-tax profit of VND 515 billion (61% of target).
What Happened
On July 16, 2026, the board of directors of PVFCCo-Phu My (HoSE: DPM) approved a resolution to implement a 15% cash dividend for 2025, higher than the 12% plan previously approved by shareholders. The dividend will be paid from the company’s retained earnings after tax. The board instructed the general director to finalize the shareholder list in July 2026 and proceed with payment in accordance with regulations.
The decision follows a strong 2025 performance, where DPM’s net profit doubled to VND 1,095 billion, well above its target. However, the company has set a more cautious 2026 plan, with net profit target of VND 680 billion, reflecting expectations of a less favorable market environment.
Market Context
DPM shares closed at VND 23,750 on July 16, 2026, on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE). The stock has been influenced by the fertilizer sector’s cyclical nature and global urea price trends. The dividend announcement may provide near-term support, but the cautious 2026 guidance could cap upside. DPM’s dividend yield at the current price is approximately 6.3% based on the 15% payout.
Strategic Significance
The higher-than-planned dividend signals management’s confidence in DPM’s cash flow and financial health after a record 2025. However, the sharp reduction in the 2026 profit target suggests headwinds from potential lower fertilizer prices or higher input costs. The company’s ability to maintain or grow dividends will depend on execution of its 2026 plan and market conditions. The large dividend payment to Petrovietnam also underscores the parent’s reliance on DPM for cash returns.
What to Watch
- DPM’s Q2 2026 earnings release, expected in late July or August, to assess whether the strong Q1 momentum continues.
- Global urea and fertilizer price trends, which directly impact DPM’s revenue and margins.
- The company’s progress on its 2026 production targets of 902,700 tons of urea and 180,000 tons of NPK.
- Any changes in Petrovietnam’s dividend policy or capital allocation that could affect DPM’s payout ratio.
- The outcome of the 2026 AGM where the 12% dividend proposal for 2026 will be voted on.
