The dual dividend announcement comes amid stable electricity demand and a focus on capital efficiency in Vietnam’s power sector.

Strategic Significance
The simultaneous cash and stock dividend underscores EVNGENCO3’s strong cash generation and its ability to reward shareholders while retaining capital for growth. The stock dividend effectively capitalizes retained earnings, boosting equity without diluting cash. This approach aligns with the company’s need to fund maintenance and expansion of its power generation assets, particularly as Vietnam’s energy transition accelerates. The 50% foreign ownership limit suggests the company may seek to attract foreign strategic investors in the future.
