Overview
Dragon Capital, a major foreign institutional investor, has reduced its stake in Khang Dien (KDH) to below 6% after selling 300,000 shares on June 1, 2026. Separately, VinaCapital also sold KDH shares in late April. The sales come despite KDH reporting a 175.5% surge in Q1/2026 net profit, though revenue fell sharply.
Key Facts
- Dragon Capital’s Hanoi Investments Holdings Limited sold 300,000 KDH shares on June 1, 2026.

- KDH Q1/2026 net profit reached VND 327 billion, up 175.5% year-on-year.
- Q1/2026 revenue was VND 281.4 billion, down 60.4% year-on-year.
- KDH’s total assets as of March 31, 2026 stood at VND 39,861.9 billion, up 17% from year-start.

What Happened
According to a filing with the State Securities Commission and Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HoSE), Dragon Capital reported that its member fund, Hanoi Investments Holdings Limited, sold 300,000 KDH shares on June 1, 2026. This reduced Dragon Capital’s aggregate ownership from 67.45 million shares (6.0107%) to 67.15 million shares (5.984%).
Separately, VinaCapital’s VOF Investment Limited sold 500,000 KDH shares on April 29, 2026, lowering its stake to 0.1034%. Another VinaCapital fund, VinaCapital Market Access Equity Fund, also sold 400,000 KDH shares. After these transactions, the VinaCapital group held 78.1 million KDH shares, representing 6.9621% of the company.
Market Context
KDH shares closed at VND 22,800 on June 4, 2026, down 0.44% with volume of 1.3 million shares. The stock trades on HoSE. The foreign selling by two major institutional investors may weigh on sentiment, although KDH’s Q1 earnings showed strong profit growth. The real estate sector in Vietnam has faced headwinds from regulatory changes and high inventory levels.
Strategic Significance
The reduction in Dragon Capital’s stake to below 6% removes its status as a major shareholder (above 5%), though it remains a significant holder. VinaCapital’s concurrent selling suggests a cautious stance on KDH’s near-term prospects despite the profit surge. KDH’s high inventory (73.1% of assets) and rising debt (total liabilities up 42% from year-start) may be concerns. The company’s 2026 targets of VND 4,200 billion revenue and VND 1,500 billion net profit imply a strong second-half performance, but Q1 only achieved 6.7% of revenue and 21.8% of profit targets.
What to Watch
- Further filings on foreign ownership changes, especially if Dragon Capital or VinaCapital continue selling.
- KDH’s Q2 2026 earnings release to assess whether profit growth is sustainable.
- Progress on inventory monetization and debt reduction.
- Regulatory developments in Vietnam’s real estate market affecting project approvals and sales.
- KDH’s ability to meet its full-year guidance given the slow Q1 start.
