Investment Thesis

PNJ is well positioned to grow by continuing to expand its existing jewelry retail chains, while leveraging its strengths in retail by launching new retail concepts in the areas of women’s fashion and accessories. Some investors may also be excited about the value of the company’s investment holdings, including its stake in East Asia Commercial Bank.

Ability to Train and Develop Sales Team

PNJ’s brand managers teach the sales staff practical hands-on experience, while theories are taught by invited professors from various universities. The trainings are provided periodically and regularly, to solve the problem of insufficient sales staff when the company opens additional stores. PNJ always train staff in anticipation of needs. This is critical to developing their retail network since jewelry techniques and retail skills are not taught anywhere in Vietnam. This is an important factor allowing PNJ to develop a chain of 114 retail stores.
