What Happened
On May 18, 2026, Bao Tin Manh Hai announced its intention to conduct an IPO in Q4/2026 and subsequently list on HoSE. The company will sell a minimum of 15% of its shares, with SSI Securities as the advisor for the offering and valuation. Founded in 1992 by Vu Manh Hai, the company is currently chaired by Vu Hung Son. It has a charter capital of VND 1,000 billion and operates 16 stores, primarily in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and has recently expanded into silver bullion.
The announcement highlights that Bao Tin Manh Hai’s revenue in 2025 reached VND 27,891 billion, narrowing the gap with PNJ’s VND 34,976 billion. However, PNJ’s net profit of VND 2,829 billion in 2025 was more than three times Bao Tin Manh Hai’s VND 774 billion. The difference reflects distinct business models: PNJ focuses on high-margin retail jewelry (gross margin ~22%), while Bao Tin Manh Hai benefits from gold bar and bullion trading, which generates high revenue but lower margins.
Market Context
PNJ (HOSE: PNJ) closed at VND 64,700 on May 18, 2026, down 3.86% with a volume of 2,277,600 shares. PNJ has been the sole listed jewelry company on HoSE for many years, commanding a premium valuation due to its market dominance and extensive retail network of over 430 stores. The potential listing of Bao Tin Manh Hai introduces a direct competitor, which could alter the competitive landscape and investor perception of the sector.
Strategic Significance
Bao Tin Manh Hai’s IPO represents a potential shift in Vietnam’s listed jewelry sector. While PNJ has long enjoyed a monopoly, Bao Tin Manh Hai’s strong revenue growth and high per-store efficiency suggest it could capture market share, particularly in gold bullion and investment-grade products. The company’s 2026 revenue target of VND 74,000 billion, if achieved, would surpass PNJ’s target, indicating aggressive expansion. However, PNJ’s superior profitability and retail-focused model may provide a buffer. Investors will need to assess the sustainability of Bao Tin Manh Hai’s growth, especially given its reliance on gold price volatility and lower margins.
