Keep in mind
- For illustration only: not a validated forecast.
- No uncertainty range: the estimate is a single figure.
- Older record: it has not been re-measured on the current data.
Why it needs review
- The closing price is too old for comparison.
- Trading liquidity is below the comparison threshold.
- Recent losses require review of cash-flow assumptions.
Also note
- A release of working capital contributes to cash flow.
This estimate remains visible for checking its calculation. Its inputs require review before using it in a stock comparison. The model comparison behind this value needs review. The estimate does not remove the data limitations listed above.

Valuation Breakdown
A Discounted Cash Flow model built on Free Cash Flow (FCF), the cash a business generates after operating expenses and capital expenditures. Future FCF is projected for 10 years with gradually decaying growth, then discounted to today's value using WACC. The DCF value is blended 70/30 with a value from the company's own historical P/E.
Technical details
Consumer staples/retail generate steady, predictable free cash flows, making them ideal for DCF. The time value of money principle means a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow. DCF captures this by discounting future cash flows at a rate reflecting the investment's risk (WACC).
Takes 3-year median FCF as the base. Estimates growth via ROIC x reinvestment rate (Damodaran framework), falling back to historical revenue growth. Projects 10 years with decay toward the sector's long-run growth rate. Discounts at CAPM-derived WACC. Blends 70% of the DCF value with 30% of a P/E value: the company's 5-year median P/E, held between 5x and 25x, times EPS.
Stable consumer businesses (food, beverage, retail, healthcare) with predictable, positive free cash flows.
We take the model’s gap to the last close, read what gaps of that size went on to earn over the following year in our 2015 to 2024 record, and apply that to the last close.

Earnings Quality
Financial Forensics
Ranked vs Vietnamese peers. The −1.78 Beneish cutoff is US-calibrated; ~28% of VN stocks exceed it.

Percentiles rank each fiscal year against Vietnamese non-financial companies (0 lowest, 100 highest). Over FY2015-2024, low cash conversion and a large share of receivables outside the trade cycle came before more listing trouble and more net losses the next year.
Statutory loss tests (Decree 155/2020/NĐ-CP, Art. 120(1)(e), amended by Decree 245/2025/NĐ-CP): a HOSE or HNX listing is cancelled when the audited annual statements show net losses in each of the latest 3 years, accumulated losses above the paid-in charter capital, or negative owner's equity. Read here from the annual statements as the data vendor publishes them. The company trades on UPCoM, where these tests do not apply.
The company's Beneish M-Score is 0.6363 (94th percentile vs Vietnamese peers), indicating materially more aggressive accounting metrics than most local peers; this score combines a very high SGI (6.6667) and GMI (2.5000) with a negative TATA (-0.4609) and other component signals. Earnings-quality measures are mixed: an overall score of 78.6/100 driven by perfect accruals and receivables quality (100/100 each) but a weak cash-conversion component (40/100). Solvency and fundamentals diverge: an Altman Z-Score of 9.50 places the company well inside the ‘safe’ bankruptcy-distance zone, while the Piotroski F-Score is 4/9 (neutral).
- High Beneish M-Score: 0.6363, at the 94th percentile versus Vietnamese-listed peers (the -1.78 US cutoff is not directly transferable; ~28% of Vietnamese firms exceed that US cutoff). The percentile shows the company’s combined indicators are more aggressive than most local peers.
- Sales Growth Index (SGI) = 6.6667 — measures year-over-year sales growth; this very high value indicates sales expanded rapidly and is a common area where accounting pressure can increase.
- Gross Margin Index (GMI) = 2.5000 — measures deterioration in gross margins; a value above 1 suggests margins worsened year over year, which can motivate earnings management.
- Total Accruals to Assets (TATA) = -0.4609 — measures accrual-based component of earnings; the negative large magnitude indicates material accrual movements relative to assets in the year.
- DSRI = 0.3977 — Days' Sales in Receivables Index below 1 typically indicates receivables fell relative to sales; combined with very high SGI this interplay merits scrutiny of revenue recognition and credit terms.
- Accruals quality = 100.0/100 — the accrual components score indicates accruals appear clean by the applied metrics.
- Receivables quality = 100.0/100 — measures that receivables behaviour and composition appear high quality under the assessed tests.
- Altman Z-Score = 9.50 — a distance-to-distress measure placing the company in the safe zone (low bankruptcy risk by this metric).
- Earnings-Quality overall = 78.6/100 — a solid composite score, reflecting particularly strong non-cash accounting and receivables measures despite weak cash conversion.
Ownership is highly concentrated: Lã Giang Trung holds 60.7% and Nguyễn Đình Chiểu 4.4%, indicating dominant control by a single individual. No director-deal registrations were supplied; if present they would be exchange-registered intentions rather than executed trades.
- Compare the year-over-year revenue growth and the SGI (6.6667) with the revenue note/schedule to verify the source of the large sales increase and any disclosures about one-off contracts or consolidation effects.
- Reconcile the TATA (-0.4609) with the statement of cash flows and the notes on accrual movements: check the reconciliation of net income to cash from operations and the notes on provisions/other accruals.
- Inspect the receivables and prepayments schedules: the 'receivables outside the trade cycle' line is 8.1% of total assets (81st percentile); verify the composition (prepayments to suppliers, loans receivable, other long-term receivables) in the related-party and receivables notes.
- Confirm statutory loss-test outcomes in the audited financial statements: the group reports accumulated losses equal to 0.41x paid-in capital and one consecutive-year net loss at parent level up to FY2018; note that the company trades on UPCoM where the HOSE/HNX statutory delisting test does not apply.
