Not only does AAA seek for new potential foreign investors, it also takes into account the benefits of existing shareholders by maintaining favorable cash dividend policy. Despite continuous increase in capital expenditure for business expansion (operating the No.6 Factory in 2016, the No.7 Factory in 2017 and No.8 and No.9 Factory later), AAA has strived to maintain a cash dividend of VND2,000 per share and produce an attractive dividend yield of over 10% per share.

Targeting maximizing shareholders’ benefits, the company has accomplished its every ambitious plan since listed. In 2018, AAA aims to reach consolidated sales of VND6,000 billion and consolidated net profit of VND330 billion.

Starting as a VND500 million company, after only 15 years under the leadership of three founders namely Mr. Pham Anh Duong, Mr. Nguyen Le Trung and Mr. Pham Hoang Viet, AAA has made impressive growth with total assets of nearly VND5,000 billion for the time being. Also, AAA is one of the few private enterprises that contribute significantly to Vietnam’s export activities, provide foreign exchange inflow, generate stable employment for more than 2,000 employees and provide income for the local government. Not to be overwhelmed by its achievements, AAA has set an ambitious goal of $1 billion of sales by 2025 through expanding business activities to higher value-added and environmentally friendly products, making AAA the largest eco-friendly plastic manufacturer in Vietnam and the region.
