Overview
Nam Hoa (NHT) reported a more than fivefold increase in net profit for the first half of 2026, driven by a strategic restructuring that shifted focus to high-value wood products and industrial property leasing. The company, listed on HOSE, saw revenue remain nearly flat but profitability improve sharply, with orders already secured through the end of 2026.

What Happened
Nam Hoa’s restructuring, initiated after the post-COVID crisis, involved closing its low-efficiency export furniture segment, liquidating non-performing assets, and converting approximately 50,000 square meters of warehouses and factories into leasing properties. This shift, along with tighter cost control, drove the sharp profit improvement.
The company’s subsidiary, Miền Quê, which had accumulated losses of about VND 69 billion by end-2024, began generating profit in 2025 and is on track to nearly eliminate its losses in 2026. Management attributed the profit surge to optimized costs and the subsidiary’s turnaround, as stated in the financial report.
Market Context
NHT shares closed at VND 11,500 on August 5, 2026. The company, listed on HOSE, operates in the wood products and industrial real estate sectors. The broader Vietnamese market has seen mixed sentiment, but NHT’s focus on high-margin leasing and premium wood products positions it within a niche that is gaining investor attention.
Strategic Significance
The restructuring marks a fundamental shift from a revenue-driven model to one prioritizing profitability and stability. By focusing on high-value wood products for Japan, the US, and Northern Europe, and expanding industrial property leasing, Nam Hoa is building a more resilient business. The leasing segment’s high gross margin (66%) provides a stable income base, reducing exposure to volatile export demand.
What to Watch
- Q3 2026 earnings release to confirm sustained profit growth and margin trends.
- Progress on Miền Quê’s accumulated loss reduction and any further asset conversions.
- Expansion plans for industrial property leasing, including new projects or acquisitions.
- Order book updates for the wood products segment, especially for H2 2026 and 2027.
- Any changes in financial costs or debt levels as the company scales leasing operations.
