• The IPO is expected to raise approximately $550 million (VND 14,360 billion).
• The company’s valuation is set at $3.35 billion, implying a P/E ratio of about 12x based on 2026 net profit target of VND 7,350 billion.

What Happened

On May 28, 2026, Dien May Xanh held an IPO roadshow in Ho Chi Minh City, announcing its plan to list on HOSE in early August 2026. The company will offer shares at VND 80,000 each, aiming to raise nearly $550 million. The IPO follows a restructuring of MWG into a holding company, with DMX now owning and managing retail chains including The Gioi Di Dong, Dien May Xanh, TopZone, as well as service platforms like Tho Dien May Xanh and the Era Blue joint venture in Indonesia.

DMX’s CEO, Mr. Doan Van Hieu Em, stated that the company’s leadership, including the chairman and founding shareholders, will participate in the IPO using personal funds to demonstrate long-term commitment. The company also plans to pay a dividend of VND 4,000 per share post-listing from retained earnings.

Market Context

MWG shares closed at VND 77,900 on June 2, 2026, down 1.52% on volume of 2.97 million shares. The stock has been under pressure amid retail sector headwinds, but the DMX IPO is seen as a catalyst to unlock value. DMX’s valuation of $3.35 billion represents a significant portion of MWG’s current market cap, which stands at approximately $3.35 billion as well. The IPO is expected to provide a clearer valuation for the electronics retail business, which has been a key growth driver for MWG.

Strategic Significance

The IPO of DMX is a strategic move to unlock value from MWG’s dominant electronics retail business, which commands over 50% market share in Vietnam. By listing DMX separately, MWG aims to improve transparency and allow each business unit to pursue its own growth strategy. The proceeds from the IPO will likely be used to expand DMX’s service offerings, e-commerce capabilities, and international presence, particularly in Indonesia through Era Blue. This restructuring could lead to a higher aggregate valuation for MWG’s subsidiaries, benefiting long-term shareholders.

What to Watch

• Final IPO pricing and subscription demand from institutional and retail investors.
• DMX’s Q2 2026 earnings release to confirm the P/E ratio estimate of 10-12x.
• MWG’s post-IPO stake in DMX and any plans for further divestment.
• Expansion progress of Era Blue in Indonesia and other international markets.
• Dividend payout timeline and sustainability post-listing.
