HCMC – Thu Dau Mot Water JSC (TDM), whose TDM shares are traded on the Hochiminh Stock Exchange, has become a major shareholder of Ca Mau Water Supply JSC (Cawaco).
The former has bought nearly 3.8 million CMW shares of the latter for over VND54.1 billion. TDM now owns 24.39% of Cawaco.
Though TDM’s quarter-one revenue inched down 3.8% year-on-year to VND101 billion, its after-tax profit rocketed 213% year-on-year to over VND128 billion.
The company attributed the strong surge in profit to receiving dividends worth over VND93.8 billion from Binh Duong Water Environment JSC.
This year, the firm looks to increase its revenue by 27% and net profit by 35% over 2022. Last year, it posted VND503.9 billion in revenue and VND220.4 billion in profit after tax.
