According to BIG, the appointment of the two directors, who have made significant contributions to the company’s development, is part of the plan to turn the BIG HOTEL brand into a nationwide hotel chain this year.
Plan to expand the Big Hotel chain nationwide
At the 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held in April, Chairman Vo Phi Nhat Huy stated that BIG is implementing a new model focusing on holding assets and business sectors that generate large cash flow for the company. The company will focus its resources on four main sectors: real estate, commerce, finance, and technology.
In the real estate sector, BIG continues to invest, build, and develop a system of hotels, serviced apartments, and homestays. “Hotel business is a sector that brings high cash flow and is also in line with the strategy of expanding the brand in major cities,” said Mr. Huy.
In the first quarter, BIG earned nearly VND 928 million in net profit, a significant improvement compared to a net loss of over VND 3.3 billion in the same period last year. In addition, BIG has just purchased an additional hotel building worth VND 35 billion in Can Tho city with a scale of 30 rooms, bringing the number of hotels it owns to six, four of which are directly owned by BIG.

By the end of 2025, BIG plans to expand its hotels to seaside resorts in the South, including Vung Tau, Phan Thiet, and Nha Trang, to realize its goal of making BIG HOTEL the first privately-owned hotel chain listed on the stock exchange.
In another recent development, on June 16, BIG announced the issuance of more than 905,000 shares to pay dividends to shareholders, equivalent to a ratio of 50:3 (shareholders holding 1 share are entitled to 1 right to receive dividends, and for every 50 rights, they will receive 3 new shares). The ex-dividend date is June 26.
With this plan, BIG expects to increase its number of shares from nearly 15.1 million to nearly 16 million, equivalent to a capital scale of nearly VND 160 billion. This is also the second consecutive year that BIG has paid dividends since its listing on the stock exchange in 2022. In 2023, the company distributed dividends at a rate of 5%.
