Key Facts
- Bach Hoa Xanh’s H1 2026 net profit exceeded its full-year 2025 net profit, according to MWG’s consolidated financial statements for Q2 2026.
- Revenue in H1 2026 reached 28,300 billion VND, up 25% year-on-year.

What Happened
According to MWG’s consolidated financial statements for Q2 2026, Bach Hoa Xanh recorded a cumulative profit of nearly 906 billion VND for the first half of the year, turning around from prior losses. The company stated that all three store cohorts—those opened in 2026, 2025, and earlier—improved profitability, with new stores achieving positive operating profit immediately after opening.
CEO of Bach Hoa Xanh, Pham Van Trong, confirmed the chain’s focus on the domestic market, citing Vietnam’s approximately USD 60 billion retail food market. He stated that the chain targets double-digit growth through store expansion and aims for an IPO by 2028. The chain has accelerated expansion into central Vietnam as a springboard for northern expansion.
Market Context
MWG shares closed at 69,800 VND on July 30, 2026, on the HOSE exchange. The retail sector has been under pressure from slowing consumer spending, but Bach Hoa Xanh’s performance provides a bright spot. The chain’s turnaround from losses to record profitability in two years demonstrates successful restructuring after the 2022-2023 period. MWG’s core ICT/CE segment faces saturation, making Bach Hoa Xanh a key growth driver.
Strategic Significance
Bach Hoa Xanh’s planned IPO by 2028 could unlock significant value for MWG shareholders, as the chain is expected to contribute 30% of MWG’s revenue and 20% of profit in 2026. The chain’s ability to open stores profitably from day one suggests a scalable model. The focus on the domestic market, rather than international expansion, reduces execution risk. The IPO would provide a separate listing for the fast-growing grocery segment, potentially attracting dedicated retail investors.
