Mobile World Investment Corporation, a renowned retail conglomerate in Vietnam, recently made a significant move in the business world by separating its electronics retail chain, Dien May Xanh, through an initial public offering (IPO) valued at US$505 million. This event has been one of the most substantial stock market listings in Vietnam over the past couple of years.
According to internal documents from the company, investors showed substantial interest in the offering, with registrations to buy around 166 million shares. These shares accounted for 92.5 percent of the total 179.5 million shares available, effectively raising around 13.29 trillion dong (equivalent to US$505 million).
This development was not unexpected as Dien May Xanh had earlier, in May, expressed its intent to raise approximately US$546 million. This fund-raising was to be accomplished by selling 179.5 million shares at a fixed price – 80,000 dong a share. The raised funds are targeted towards fueling the next phase of the company’s growth and solidifying its place in Vietnam’s consumer electronics market.
It is expected that Dien May Xanh will make its debut appearance on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange in the first week of August.
As one of Mobile World Investment Corporation’s key business arms, Dien May Xanh is one of the largest electronics retailers in Vietnam. Its nationwide network comprises stores selling a wide range of consumer technology products, including smartphones, televisions, and home appliances.
