The Nasdaq parent no longer owns the factory: VinFast's Vietnam plant goes fully domestic
VinFast Auto sold its 10.369% holding in VinFast Trading and Production to domestic investors for $530 million. Design, branding and sales move to a separate entity; the plant stays Vietnamese.
Positive-sum angle: Any hardware founder in Vietnam watching the country's largest manufacturer split the factory from the brand just got the template for who should carry the capex.
