KIDO GROUP CORPORATION

KIDO GROUP CORPORATION (CÔNG TY CỔ PHẦN TẬP ĐOÀN KIDO) remains one of Vietnam’s prominent names in the consumer goods sector, particularly in manufacturing and trading cooking oil, ice cream, confectionery, and other food products. Established on September 6, 2002, KIDO GROUP CORPORATION operates as a publicly held joint stock company, registered under Business ID and Tax Identification Number (TIN) 0302705302. Its headquarters is located at the 3rd Floor, V5 Tower, Sunrise City South, No. 23, Nguyen Huu Tho Street, Tan Hung Ward, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Under the leadership of Mr. Tran Kim Thanh (Chairman) and Mr. Tran Le Nguyen (Deputy Chairman cum General Director), KIDO GROUP CORPORATION has expanded into various food-related sectors, consistently developing a strong brand presence in Vietnam. With a workforce of more than 3,600 employees and shares listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange under the symbol KDC, the company holds a well-established position in the market.

Financially, KIDO GROUP CORPORATION faces a mixed situation. In 2023, total assets declined by 11.52% to USD 509.06 million, while sales dropped sharply by 31% to USD 355.35 million. Profits suffered a significant downturn, falling by 63.92% year-on-year to only USD 5.55 million. Despite these challenges, the company maintained a relatively stable owner’s equity of USD 292.26 million, growing by a modest 0.87% compared to the previous year, and achieved a working capital of USD 112.98 million, a strong indicator of short-term financial stability.

The shareholder structure remains diverse, with significant stakes held by Mr. Tran Le Nguyen (12.74%), PPK One Member Limited Liability Company (7.93%), and international investors such as Star Pacifica Pte. Ltd. (6.67%) and Liva Holdings Limited (5.95%).

KIDO GROUP CORPORATION's strength lies in its brand equity, broad product portfolio, and strong market access across Vietnam. However, declining revenues and profitability highlight internal challenges, possibly linked to increased competition, shifting consumer trends, or cost management issues.

Moving forward, KIDO GROUP CORPORATION will need to focus on innovation, operational efficiency, and strategic repositioning to regain growth momentum and strengthen its financial performance in the highly competitive FMCG sector.
