On May 8, 2026, NFC will finalize the shareholder list to pay its 2025 cash dividend at a rate of 50%, equivalent to 5,000 dong per share. The dividend payment is scheduled for May 18, 2026. With nearly 15.7 million outstanding shares, the company estimates it will require about 79 billion dong to complete the payout. Since listing in 2013, NFC has maintained a consistent cash dividend policy, and the 50% rate is the highest in its history.
NFC said it is implementing a stronger dividend payout after recording positive business performance. In 2025, the company reported revenue of 1,240 billion dong and pre-tax profit of 173 billion dong, up 35% and 2.8 times year-on-year, respectively. The fertilizer market remained challenging due to strong competition from new producers, complex weather conditions, and volatile input costs, including phosphate ore. However, agricultural product prices stayed high and import volumes declined, supporting higher fertilizer demand.
For 2026, NFC targets revenue of 1,423 billion dong and pre-tax profit of 180 billion dong, representing increases of 15% and about 4% compared with 2025. If the targets are met, it would mark the fifth consecutive year the company sets new records for both revenue and profit. The company also plans to maintain a minimum interim dividend payout of 40% of charter capital.
In Q1 2026, NFC posted net revenue of 515 billion dong, up 13.8% year-on-year. After deducting expenses, net operating profit reached 70.4 billion dong, up 40%. As a result, net profit after tax stood at 54 billion dong, up 39.2% year-on-year.
