The two brands following Vinamilk are Viettel and Vingroup, with brand values of $846.9 million and $299.3 million.
The results are based on Forbes’ rating methodologies, assessing how much the brands help businesses generate more revenues. The most valuable brands belong to the companies with the highest revenues in their respective industries.
After establishing a list of 80 branded companies, Forbes Vietnam along with Vietnam Capital Securities (VCSC) calculated revenue before tax, and evaluated the companies’ intangible assets. Information was gathered from companies’ financial reports as well as data available on stock markets. Unlisted companies have also provided financial documents to Forbes for assessment and evaluation.
Brand valuation is determined by how much a brand can contribute to business success in each industry. Final brand values are based on the average Price-Earnings Ratio (P/E) of each industry. It is measured by current share prices over per share earnings. The higher the P/E rate the more overvalued the brand is. To evaluate the brands of unlisted companies, Forbes Vietnam compared companies of the same size within the same segment and industry.
Because this method requires transparent financial data, Forbes is not capable of producing a solid basis for brand valuation of many private companies and state owned enterprises.
