HANOI, August 19, 2026, 17:02 ICT — AMY Grupo’s initial public offering, expected to raise VND 787.29 billion, has moved into the payment phase with 61% of funds set aside to pay down short-term bank debt, rather than for building new factories. The Ho Chi Minh market remains closed and AMY shares have not yet started trading.
- Investors who have been allocated shares are required to settle the remaining payment by 16:00 ICT on August 24.
- The offer price of VND 48,900 suggests a post-IPO valuation of VND 7.851 trillion.
- AMY intends to distribute an initial cash dividend of VND 2,000, representing a yield of 4.1% based on the offer price.
The division of capital is more significant than the projected growth figure. Complete subscription would reduce gross borrowings by roughly 20%. The funds raised would not be used directly for the company’s planned capacity increase.
Subscriptions ended on August 12. Shares were to be allocated on August 17, with final payments accepted until August 24. The company plans to release purchase results on August 26 and aims for an October listing, using the proposed AMY ticker.

AMY intends to allocate VND 480 billion to cover short-term bank loans. The other VND 307.29 billion will be directed toward working capital, with a focus on supplier payments. The deal effectively resets the balance sheet in preparation for the next phase of investment.
| Balance-sheet item | March 31, 2026 | IPO comparison |

Chief Executive Dinh Quoc Tuan described the IPO as “far more than a capital-raising exercise.” He stated it would enhance governance and help build capacity. According to the outlined cash allocation, priority will be given to debt reduction. AMY Grupo roadshow statement
Operating performance improved. Revenue totaled VND 6.997 trillion in 2025. Consolidated profit after tax stood at roughly VND 751 billion. Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 climbed 36.6%, with profit after tax up 37%.
| Period | Revenue | Profit measure | Margin or progress |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | VND 6.037 trillion | VND 1.015 trillion PBT | 16.8% PBT margin |
| 2025 | VND 6.997 trillion | VND 953 billion PBT | 13.6% PBT margin |
| Q1 2026 | VND 1.786 trillion | VND 193.5 billion PAT | 19.7% of revenue plan |
| 2026 target | VND 9.063 trillion | VND 1.169 trillion PBT | 29.5% revenue growth target |
Based on the offer price, AMY is valued at approximately 10.5 times projected 2025 group earnings. Vietcap Securities (HOSE:VCI), the advisor to the issuer, points to a 9.8-times offer multiple and an 11.1-times fair multiple. The discrepancy appears to come from relying on forward earnings instead of the prior full-year results.
| Company | Coverage status | Recommendation | Evidence checked August 19, 17:02 ICT |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMY Grupo, proposed AMY | Pre-listing | No verified consensus from independent sources | Issuer’s adviser applies 11.1x fair P/E against 9.8x offer P/E |
| Viglacera (HNX:VGC) | 4 analysts | Consensus recommendation: Buy | Indicated average target spread at +49.8% |
| Vicostone (HNX:VCS) | Limited public coverage | No confirmed consensus available | Excluded in AMY valuation justification |
Vietcap projects that revenue and attributable profit will rise by 23% and 24% annually until 2028, according to sponsor estimates. The projections are based on expected growth in vinyl flooring and continued expansion in U.S. market share.
Exports accounted for 74.66% of revenue in 2025. Of total export sales, 62.49% went to the United States. According to company disclosures, this means approximately 47% of the group’s revenue is indirectly linked to a single market.
Ownership presents another limitation. Prior to the offering, over 92% was in the hands of five top executives. Issuing 10% in new shares would still keep control heavily concentrated, despite some dilution.
Risks: AMY is not listed, which means there is no available market price or liquidity benchmark. Shifts in U.S. demand, trade regulations, and currency fluctuations may affect its predominantly export-focused portfolio. Elevated levels of receivables and inventory, along with significant insider ownership, present further execution and governance concerns.
Key dates are approaching. Investors must meet the payment deadline on August 24, with the results being announced on August 26. The public market debut, targeted for October, will set the timing for when the VND 48,900 valuation is realized.
