What Happened
On its official Facebook page, An Khang pharmacy chain, a subsidiary of Mobile World Investment Corporation (MWG), announced four consecutive months of profit from March to June 2026. The news was also shared by Mr. Doan Van Hieu Em, a member of MWG’s board of directors responsible for An Khang. The chain stated that this achievement reflects its restructuring efforts and commitment to efficiency, and will drive it toward full-year profitability and expansion to 500 stores.
An Khang, formerly known as Phuc An Khang, is a key component of MWG’s retail ecosystem. After an initial period of rapid expansion in the modern pharmacy market, MWG shifted its focus to operational efficiency, restructuring underperforming stores, optimizing costs, and improving service quality. By end-June 2026, the chain had 415 stores, making it one of the largest pharmacy chains in Vietnam.
Market Context
MWG shares closed at VND 63,300 on July 27, 2026. The company operates in the retail sector on HOSE, with major chains including The Gioi Di Dong, Dien May Xanh, and Bach Hoa Xanh. An Khang’s turnaround comes as the modern pharmacy retail segment in Vietnam continues to grow, driven by increasing healthcare awareness and demand for convenient drug purchasing.
Strategic Significance
An Khang’s move to profitability is a critical milestone for MWG’s diversification strategy. After years of investment and restructuring, the pharmacy chain is now positioned to become a meaningful profit contributor alongside MWG’s core electronics and grocery businesses. The focus on store-level efficiency and brand leverage suggests a sustainable growth model, reducing reliance on aggressive store openings. If An Khang achieves its full-year profit target, it could enhance MWG’s overall earnings stability and provide a new growth engine.
