Mobile World Investment Joint Stock Company (MWG code) has just announced its business results for the first seven months of the year, with a revenue of 86,507 billion VND, up 13% over the same period in 2024, completing 58% of the yearly plan.
In July alone, MWG is estimated to have reached over 12,850 billion VND in revenue, an increase of nearly 18% from the previous year. On average, the retail company of Mr. Nguyen Duc Tai earned nearly 415 billion VND per day in the past July.
For 2025, Mobile World set a target of 150,000 billion VND in revenue and 4,950 billion VND in after-tax profit. At a recent Investor Meeting, MWG General Director Vu Dang Linh shared that they are aiming to achieve these goals sooner, and if there are no unexpected developments, the company expects to complete its yearly profit plan by October.
As of the end of July 2025, MWG had a total of 1,014 The Gioi Di Dong stores (including Topzone); 2,022 Dien May Xanh stores (including Dien May Som); 2,204 Bach Hoa Xanh stores; 326 An Khang pharmacies; 62 AVAKids stores, and 126 Erablue stores.
Regarding the business performance of each chain:
In the first seven months, the two chains of The Gioi Di Dong and Dien May Xanh (TGDĐ/ĐMX) recorded positive results with a total revenue of 58,000 billion VND, up 13% over the same period. The chain is operating with approximately 180 fewer stores compared to the average of the first seven months of 2024. Therefore, the main driver comes from improving the performance of existing stores, with a 15% increase in sales.
These results clearly affirm the “reduce quantity, increase quality” strategy, focusing on enhancing the quality of sales points, optimizing the existing foundation, including implementing an ownership mindset for the operations team to improve store efficiency; as well as focusing on selling peace of mind, speed, experience, and services instead of price competition.
In July alone, the two chains of mobile phones and appliances achieved nearly 8,700 billion VND in revenue, marking the fifth consecutive month of growth, up 21% from the previous year and a 3% improvement from the previous month. This momentum is driven by the growth in most major product categories, including mobile phones, laptops (with the well-prepared and early-implemented “back-to-school” program), and appliances.
For Bach Hoa Xanh (BHX), in the first seven months of 2025, the chain achieved nearly 26,500 billion VND in revenue, an increase of 15% over the same period. This growth is driven by both main product categories: fresh food and FMCG.
The chain opened an additional 434 stores, with nearly 55% located in the Central region. These new stores recorded a total positive profit at the store level (after deducting all direct operating expenses). In the second half of the year, in addition to maintaining operational efficiency, the chain will continue selective expansion in provinces and cities where Bach Hoa Xanh stores are already present.
Regarding the An Khang pharmacy chain, in July 2025, the average revenue per store improved by a single digit compared to the previous month and the same period last year, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and bring profits to the corporation.
The AVAKids chain maintained impressive growth, with a double-digit increase in average revenue per store compared to July 2024 and positive monthly growth. The chain has achieved profits at the company level and continues to improve its financial performance month by month.
The EraBlue chain in Indonesia, after the first seven months of 2025, recorded a revenue growth of over 70% compared to the same period, and in the remaining months, the chain will continue to expand to reach the goal of operating 150 stores by the end of the year. The chain has achieved profits at the company level and is continuously improving its financial indicators.
