- Tuong An will increase its charter capital from nearly VND 339 billion to VND 3,188 billion.
- Tuong An will own nearly all of Vocarimex and Kido Nha Be.
- Cooking oil contributed 75.7% of KDC’s 2025 revenue, though its share declined nearly 5 percentage points.
- KDC targets 2026 revenue of VND 12,000 billion and net profit of VND 700 billion.

What Happened
At its 2026 annual general meeting held in Ho Chi Minh City on May 28, Kido Group’s management announced a major restructuring of its cooking oil segment. The plan designates Tuong An Vegetable Oil as the central entity, which will own nearly all of Vocarimex and Kido Nha Be. This consolidation aims to simplify the current complex structure with cross-shareholdings among multiple entities.
Tuong An is expected to increase its charter capital from nearly VND 339 billion to VND 3,188 billion, a nearly tenfold increase. Kido also publicly disclosed for the first time its intention to potentially IPO Tuong An in the future, which could generate financial gains for the group.
Market Context
KDC shares closed at VND 48,300 on May 27, 2026, up 0.52% with volume of 220,500 shares. The stock trades on HOSE. The restructuring comes as KDC’s cooking oil segment, while still dominant, has seen its revenue contribution decline slightly. The broader consumer staples sector in Vietnam has faced margin pressures from rising input costs, but KDC’s move to consolidate and potentially list Tuong An could unlock value and improve operational efficiency.
Strategic Significance
The restructuring addresses KDC’s complex corporate structure in cooking oil, which has hindered efficient capital allocation and governance. By consolidating assets under Tuong An, KDC creates a cleaner entity that can more easily raise capital for expansion or pursue an IPO. The potential listing of Tuong An would provide a market valuation for the cooking oil business and allow KDC to monetize its stake, supporting its broader strategy of focusing on essential consumer goods and expanding through a “symbiotic” model with production partners.
