Why billionaire Pham Nguyen decided to have Vinhomes stop developing land funds in Vietnam. The decision was made after the company announced a significant reduction in its pre-tax profit for the first quarter of 2024, with Vinhomes posting a decline of 35% year-over-year to VND 3,548 billion, while its revenue decreased by 20% to VND 33,319 billion. In addition, Vinhomes' chairman, Pham Nguyen, has been under increasing pressure from investors to improve the company's performance and return on equity, which has been steadily declining since 2021. The company's decision to stop developing land funds in Vietnam is seen as a strategic move to focus on its core business and improve its financial performance, as the Vietnamese real estate market continues to face challenges due to rising interest rates and economic uncertainty. Vinhomes' shares have been under pressure in recent months, with the stock price falling by 12% year-to-date, making it one of the worst performers in the Vietnamese stock market.
