Mr. Doãn Chí Thiên, acting deputy general director of Nam Việt (Navico, HoSE: ANV), has filed a notice to register the purchase of 1 million ANV shares for personal reasons. The transaction is expected to be executed from March 27, 2026 to April 25, 2026, through either on-market matching or a negotiated deal.
The filing follows shortly after he completed the purchase of 1 million shares in an earlier tranche between March 13 and March 23, suggesting a continued effort to increase his ownership stake in the company.
Mr. Thiên currently holds 1,141,998 ANV shares, equivalent to 0.43% of charter capital. If the newly registered purchase is completed, his stake would increase to 2,141,998 shares, representing 0.8% of charter capital.
Based on the share price on March 25 of VND 23,000 per share, it is estimated that he would need to spend more than VND 23 billion to fully execute the registered purchase.
Mr. Thiên is the son of Mr. Doãn Tới, the largest shareholder and current CEO of Nam Việt. Mr. Tới owns more than 146.6 million shares, accounting for 54.98% of charter capital.
Navico’s 2025 results—described as the most profitable year in the company’s history—provide context for confidence in internal share transactions. The company reported its highest-ever annual profit, exceeding VND 1 trillion.
Specifically, net profit after tax was approximately VND 1,000 billion, up 21-fold from the previous year. The main drivers included deeper market penetration in Brazil and higher catfish exports to the United States.
Navico also maintained strong capital efficiency metrics, with return on assets (ROA) at 17.2% and return on equity (ROE) at 28.3%.
