PVG

• Beneish M-Score = -0.8612 (measures likelihood of earnings manipulation using eight ratios); PVG sits at the 89th percentile among Vietnamese peers, meaning its score is more aggressive than 89% of peers.
• Year-over-year M-Score change = +1.47 (the M-Score moved materially versus prior year; consecutive-year M-Scores have low autocorrelation, so the trajectory is an additional cue).
• DSRI = 1.2532 (days sales in receivables index; an increase suggests sales or receivables growth outpacing historical norms).
• GMI = 1.2647 (gross margin index; >1 indicates gross margin has deteriorated versus prior year).
• SGI = 1.2608 (sales growth index; elevated SGI implies rapid sales growth which can be associated with increased accounting complexity).
• TATA = 0.2107 (total accruals to total assets; positive and material accruals indicate reliance on accrual accounting rather than cash flows).
• Earnings Quality Score = 9.1/100 with Cash conversion = 0.0/100 and Revenue quality = 5.6/100 (measures of how reported profits convert to cash and the persistence/quality of revenue are very weak).
• Cash conversion (3‑year operating cash flow / net profit) = -4.05 (6th percentile among Vietnamese non-financials — profits are not converting into operating cash).
• Receivables outside the trade cycle = 0.4% of total assets (20th percentile), indicating presence of non-trade receivables/prepayments/loans that are not large in absolute terms but are below most peers' levels — requires checking composition.

• Altman Z-Score = 4.64 (places PVG in the Z 'safe' zone for bankruptcy distance based on the Z model).
• Piotroski F-Score = 6/9 (a neutral to reasonably healthy score on profitability, leverage/liquidity, and operating efficiency signals).
• AQI = 0.9820 and LVGI = 0.9654 (asset quality index and leverage index near or below 1, not showing dramatic asset deterioration or leverage worsening by Beneish components).
• DEPI = 0.8850 and SGAI = 0.7880 (depreciation and SG&A indices below 1 suggest no clear evidence of slowing depreciation or rising SG&A intensity to inflate margins).
• No accumulated losses and owner’s equity (excluding minority interest) is positive; audited statements do not meet any statutory loss tests under Decree 155/2020 (amended) — these are facts about the published financials.

PVG is majority-controlled by Tổng Công ty Khí Việt Nam (GAS) with a 51.3% holding as of 2026-06-30; GAS is a listed state-associated parent that also controls several other listed subsidiaries. Top shareholder concentration is high (51.3% by GAS) with very small individual holdings otherwise, indicating group/control influence consistent with Vietnamese state-linked group structures.

• Compare the 2025 movement in trade receivables and 'receivables outside the trade cycle' line items to the revenue note and the related-party disclosures to identify composition (prepayments, loans, other long-term receivables).
• Reconcile operating cash flow to reported profit for FY2023–FY2025 in the cash flow statement and the management discussion to explain a 3-year cash conversion of -4.05 (check the components of working-capital changes and non-cash adjustments).
• Review the auditor’s report and the notes on accrual accounting policies (especially bad‑debt provisioning and revenue recognition) given TATA = 0.2107 and low receivables/revenue quality scores.
• Inspect the shareholder and related‑party schedules (parent/subsidiaries and transactions with GAS and other group companies) for intra‑group sales, transfers, loans or guarantees that could explain elevated DSRI = 1.2532 and SGI = 1.2608.
