Consumer Stocks with a Foundation for Sustainable Growth
Established in 1996 with its roots in the seasoning industry, Masan Consumer Corporation (Masan Consumer, UPCoM: MCH) now boasts a diverse portfolio of brands, including five powerhouse brands—Chin-su, Omachi, Kokomi, Nam Ngư, and Wake-up 247—each generating over 2,000 billion VND in annual revenue. According to Kantar Worldpanel, 98% of Vietnamese households use at least one MCH product, a testament to the brand’s extensive reach and the trust it has built over the years.
While strengthening its traditional product lines, Masan Consumer is aggressively expanding into premium segments and out-of-home consumption categories. These initiatives are fueled by rising incomes in Vietnam and the emergence of modern consumer trends, positioning them as new growth drivers.
Brands like Wake-up and Vinacafé cater to the growing demand for at-home coffee and energy drinks, while NET, Joins, and Chante expand Masan Consumer’s presence in household and personal care. Entering this new phase, the company is focusing on premium products and flexible in-home and out-of-home consumption options, featuring brands such as Vivant, Compact, Wake-up Z, and convenient meal replacements for restaurants and affordable, ready-to-eat boxes tailored to the fast-paced lifestyles of young Vietnamese consumers.
This strategy underscores MCH’s clear vision: evolving from meeting essential needs to enhancing every daily consumption moment. This shift is propelling the company’s potential market size from 0.8 billion USD to over 15.7 billion USD, laying the groundwork for long-term, sustainable growth.
In the stock market, MCH is among the largest consumer companies by market capitalization. Recently, MCH shares have seen significant gains, trading at around 206,300 VND per share (as of 9:21 AM on November 11), with a market cap of approximately 218,000 billion VND, surpassing even its parent company, Masan Group (HOSE: MSN). This reflects the market’s positive outlook on the company’s robust business foundation.

From 2017 to 2024, MCH achieved a compound annual revenue growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 13%, an EBITDA margin of nearly 26%, and a return on invested capital (ROIC) exceeding 200%, demonstrating exceptional capital efficiency even amid economic fluctuations. Its stable business history, strong profit margins, and robust cash flow position MCH as a sustainably profitable enterprise across economic cycles.
With nearly 30 years of serving Vietnamese consumers, a portfolio of household-staple brands, and a foundation for sustainable growth, MCH can be considered a “national stock,” offering both stability and growth potential.
Accelerating the “Direct Distribution” Model and Listing on HOSE
Masan Consumer operates one of Vietnam’s largest distribution networks, covering both traditional (GT) channels with over 313,000 outlets and modern (MT) channels with more than 8,500 outlets. This dual approach ensures rapid and effective product delivery to all customer segments, from urban to rural areas.
Amid shifting shopping behaviors, MCH has recorded positive growth across multiple channels: modern trade (+12.5%), traditional trade (+13%), exports (+14.8%), e-commerce (+60%), and Horeca (+71.6%).
Third-quarter 2025 revenue reached 7,517 billion VND (down 5.9% year-on-year), with a nine-month total of 21,281 billion VND (down 3.1%). This temporary decline is primarily due to the implementation of the “Direct Distribution” model, which requires 3–6 months to stabilize and optimize. Results have improved month-over-month, setting the stage for growth in subsequent quarters.
A Masan representative explained that the decline stems from the nationwide rollout of the “Direct Distribution” model in traditional sales channels, a process needing 3–6 months for the new system to stabilize and drive growth. However, monthly and quarterly improvements have been noted, paving the way for future growth.
The “Direct Distribution” model is driving broad-based growth for MCH’s product portfolio, even as the overall traditional trade channel contracted by 7% year-on-year in Q3 2025. The comprehensive expansion, initiated in Q3 2025, is expected to return MCH to positive revenue growth soon.
Financially, Masan Consumer is renowned for its consistent cash dividend payments. Between 2023 and 2025 alone, the company distributed nearly 26,400 billion VND (over 1 billion USD) in cash dividends to shareholders. This stable dividend policy highlights its strong financial health, effective cash flow management, and commitment to delivering sustainable value to investors.
Looking ahead, the market anticipates that MCH’s planned listing on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HOSE) will significantly enhance liquidity, attract foreign capital, and enable a revaluation of the company in line with its long-term growth potential.
