Overview
Nam Hoa (NHT) reported a sharp turnaround in Q2 2026 net profit, with parent company profit rising more than fivefold to nearly VND 16 billion, despite a slight revenue decline.

What Happened
According to Nam Hoa’s Q2 2026 financial statements, the company achieved a significant profit recovery despite a slight drop in revenue. Net profit after tax for the quarter was nearly VND 11.5 billion, reversing a loss of VND 4.93 billion in the same period last year. For the first half, net profit reached nearly VND 20 billion, compared to a loss of nearly VND 2 billion in H1 2025.
The turnaround is largely credited to the restructuring of subsidiary Miền Quê, which previously operated a loss-making furniture export business. Nam Hoa closed that operation, liquidated assets, and converted 50,000 square meters of warehouse space into leasing. This new activity has been profitable since 2025 and is expected to nearly eliminate accumulated losses by 2026.
Market Context
NHT shares closed at VND 11,450 on August 6, 2026, on the HOSE. The company’s revenue has shrunk from nearly VND 1,000 billion in 2020-2021 to about VND 300 billion annually, but the focus has shifted from scale to profitability. The stock’s performance reflects growing investor interest in the company’s margin expansion and successful pivot to asset-light leasing.
Strategic Significance
Nam Hoa’s strategic shift from low-margin export manufacturing to a dual-pillar model—premium wooden toys and décor plus real estate leasing—has fundamentally improved its earnings quality. The leasing segment’s 66% gross margin provides a stable income base, while the export business targets high-value markets like Japan, the US, and Northern Europe. This transformation reduces earnings volatility and positions the company for sustainable profitability, though revenue growth remains modest.
What to Watch
- Q3 2026 earnings release to see if margin expansion and leasing income are sustained.
- Progress on clearing Miền Quê’s accumulated losses, expected to be nearly completed by end-2026.
- Order book updates for the export segment, particularly any new contracts beyond the current USD 10 million.
- Any further asset conversions or new leasing projects that could boost revenue.
- Changes in financial costs and debt levels, as interest expense has been a key drag in prior periods.
