VNDIVIDEND dividend stock tracking index

(NLDO)- The VNDIVIDEND index is expected to include 10-20 stocks selected from the list of component stocks of the VNAllshare basket.

On October 6, the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HoSE) issued a Decision on the Rules for Building and Managing the Index of Growth Stocks Paying Dividends "Vietnam Dividend Growth Index - VNDIVIDEND".

In which, the ability to maintain profit distribution to shareholders is a key factor in the selection criteria.

According to the announcement document, the VNDIVIDEND index is expected to include 10-20 stocks selected from the list of component stocks of the VNAllshare basket.

Regarding screening criteria, stocks selected for the VNDIVIDEND basket must meet the conditions of listing time of 5 years or more; market capitalization value greater than VND 2,000 billion; daily transaction value of VND 8-10 billion; positive after-tax profit in the last 4 quarters.

HoSE launches index to track dividend-paying stocks VNDIVIDEND

From the list of stocks that meet the above criteria, the system will continue to select stocks with a dividend payout ratio compared to the 3-year average (DIVIDEND-RATIO) of over 80% if they are in the previous index basket, or over 100% if they are not in the basket.

DIVIDEND-RATIO is calculated as the dividend payout ratio of year T-2 (2 years prior to the review period) compared to the average of the previous 3 consecutive years (T-3, T-4, T-5).

Then, depending on the number of stocks that meet the conditions, the official index basket will include a maximum of 20 stocks with the highest DIVIDEND-RATIO and trading value, or a minimum of 10 stocks if the source of selected stocks is limited.

Previously, HoSE also introduced two new indexes in August 2025, including VNMITECH, tracking the group of modern industrial and technology enterprises, and Vietnam Growth 50 Index (VN50 Growth), reflecting the group of outstanding growth enterprises in the market.
