BFC

DPM, DCM, BFC, LAS face a second wave of domestic fertilizer price hikes in 2025, with DAP and urea up 5-11% since March. Global cost pressures and rising logistics expenses support margins for producers but squeeze farmers, potentially dampening demand.

Foreign investors net sold VND 1,802 billion (USD 72 million) on May 22, 2026, the highest in three months, driving VN-Index down 1.68%. Blue-chips VIC, VHM, and MSB led the sell-off, with VIC losing 3.52% and VHM 4.88%. The selling pressure underscores persistent foreign outflow from Vietnamese equities.

Fertilizer stocks surged on April 29, bucking a broad market selloff that saw the VN-Index drop nearly 22 points. BFC hit the ceiling at VND 67,600, while DCM rose 5.82% to VND 42,700, supported by bargain hunting and higher global oil prices. The sector's defensive appeal and raw material cost tailwinds attracted strong buying interest.

Binh Dien Fertilizer (BFC) faces a VND 3.6 billion tax penalty and back-tax order for misdeclared expenses, while Hoang Huy Financial Services (TCH) confronts over VND 20 billion in fines and back taxes. These administrative penalties follow State Audit recommendations and come amid contrasting financial performances for the two HOSE-listed companies.
