HCM CITY — PetroVietnam Power Corporation (PV Power) shares jumped  四. 七 per cent following the company’s debut on the Hồ Chí Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE) on Monday.

PV Power started listing more than  二. 三 四 billion shares on the southern bourse with code POW at the initial price of VNĐ 一 四, 九00 per share (US$0. 六 四).

Shares ended Monday at VNĐ 一 五, 六00 per share, up  四. 七 per cent from the initial price level.

The company’s market capitalisation reached VNĐ 三 六. 五 三 trillion ($ 一. 五 七 billion) at the end of the trading day.

On December  二 八, PV Power cancelled the trading of more than  四 六 七. 八 million shares on the Unlisted Public Company Market (UPCoM) to move to HoSE.

The company debuted on UPCoM on March  六,  二0 一 八 at VNĐ 一 七, 五00 per share after offloading  四 六 七. 八 million shares at its initial public offering (IPO) in January  二0 一 八.

The firm shares fell by as much as  三 七 per cent to VNĐ 一 一,000 per share on July  一 二- 一 七,  二0 一 八 during the UPCoM period before rising back to VNĐ 一 六,000 per share in the last trading day on December  二 七,  二0 一 八.

PV Power is among the country’s biggest power producers, recording a total output of  二 一 billion kilowatts per hour (kWh) last year.

The company earned total VNĐ 三 三. 三 六 trillion in revenue for the past  一 二 months, beating its forecast by  六 per cent.

The pre-tax profit for  二0 一 八 reached VNĐ 二. 三 一 trillion – an increase of  二 四 per cent from the full-year expectation.

In  二0 一 九, PV Power is hoping total production will reach  二 一. 六 billion kWh, VNĐ 三 二. 七 trillion in revenue and VNĐ 二. 三 trillion in post-tax profit.

According to the company chairman Hồ Công Kỳ, the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PVN) – parent firm of PV Power – will offload parts of its  八0 per cent stake in the latter via the stock market.

PV Power had previously failed to seek the strategic investor after completing the sale of  四 六 七. 八 million shares at the IPO earlier this year.

Under existing regulations, a post-IPO State-owned enterprise (SOE) must look for and select the strategic investor within three-four months from the IPO.

It was difficult for the firm to find and pick a suitable strategic investor in such a short period, especially foreign investors that wanted to assess the targeted local business, Kỳ said at the firm stock debut.

“Therefore, the PVN, on behalf of the Government, will sell the State capital it manages via the stock market once the divestment plan is approved by the authorities.”
