MWG shares hit the limit up as liquidity surges while the VN-Index cools. On April 17, MWG closed at 86,900 dong per share, up 6.89% from the previous session, with matched trading volume exceeding 15 million shares—nearly triple the prior day. Notably, the stock remained with buy orders at the ceiling price, with about 5.5 million shares on the buy side at the close. This strong advance lifted The World Mobile Investment's market capitalization to 127,606 billion dong. The rally is thought to be driven by expectations around the planned IPO of Dien May Xanh (DMX), the company's main business, with an anticipated listing of up to 1.1 billion shares, a deal investors view as a potential market mover. For DMX, 2025 revenue reached 107,000 billion dong, up 18%; net profit after tax hit a record 6,100 billion dong, with a gross margin of 17.1%, seen as a key stepping stone for expanding profitability in coming years. In Q1 2026, DMX revenue rose 33% year-on-year to 32,416 billion, accounting for 26% of the annual plan. Vin-family stocks reversed after several sessions of gains, dragging down the main market as the session closed. The VN-Index finished at 1,817.17, down 2.66 points; the HNX-Index rose to 260, while the UPCoM-Index gained to 128.77. Other notes include MWG and BFC among the day’s movers, with BFC hitting the daily limit at 66,600 dong and 231,100 shares traded. Foreign investors turned net buyers for the day, totaling nearly 50 billion dong across the market, led by VIC with over 314 billion; MWG, MSN and FPT also saw sizeable inflows.
