Many enterprises are planning to rename in 2026, reflecting a broader trend to adjust branding and development direction in the new phase.
Dat Xanh Group (MCK: DXG, HoSE) held its 2026 annual general meeting on 17 April 2026, where shareholders approved a proposal to change the company’s name.
Under the approved proposal, the AGM authorized the board to study and select the company’s new name, ensuring it aligns with the group’s business strategy and complies with applicable laws.
According to the board, the name change is intended to reposition the brand to match Dat Xanh Group’s development direction in the new stage. The company said the change will also support connections, transactions, market expansion, and the search for investment opportunities in a sustainable manner.

It added that the name change can facilitate international cooperation and access to capital markets.
