Overview
CTCP Chứng khoán Bảo Minh (BMS), currently traded on UPCoM, has approved a resolution to temporarily postpone its application to list 203.93 million shares on the HoSE, citing market conditions. The broker said it will complete the dossier and proceed when timing is appropriate. Separately, BMS set a 5 November 2026 record date for an extraordinary general meeting to remove and elect two board members.
Key Facts
- BMS approved a resolution to suspend its HoSE listing registration procedure, citing macroeconomic and market conditions.
- HoSE received BMS’s listing dossier for 203.93 million shares on 8 April 2026.
- The share count corresponds to charter capital of VND 2,039.3 billion.
- The HoSE transfer was approved at an extraordinary general meeting on 10 January 2026.
- BMS has traded on UPCoM since 8 August 2018.
- Record date of 5 November 2026 set for the 2026 extraordinary general meeting.
- Two board members, Phan Tấn Thư and Nguyễn Thy Phương, resigned for personal reasons; both seats are to be filled for the 2023-2028 term.
What Happened
In a company resolution, the board of Chứng khoán Bảo Minh said it had assessed the macroeconomic backdrop, securities market movements and the company’s current development direction, and concluded that adjusting the listing timetable was necessary to align with market conditions and to pursue sustainable growth and optimise shareholder interests. The company did not set a new target date, stating only that it will continue to complete the dossier and implement the listing in line with regulations when market timing is suitable. The decision follows HoSE’s confirmation that it received the listing application for 203.93 million BMS shares on 8 April 2026.
The listing plan itself was approved by shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting on 10 January 2026, after more than seven years of UPCoM trading since August 2018. In a separate announcement, BMS said it will close its shareholder register on 5 November 2026 for an extraordinary general meeting. The agenda covers the removal of two board members following their resignation letters and the election of two replacements for the 2023-2028 term, plus other matters within shareholder authority. The departing members are Phan Tấn Thư, appointed chief executive in January 2022 and elected to the board in April 2023, and Nguyễn Thy Phương, who joined the board in April 2025. The remaining board includes Chairwoman Lương Thị Cẩm Tú, standing Vice Chairman Thiều Hữu Chung and Vice Chairman Trần Ngô Phúc Bảo.
Market Context
BMS closed at VND 11,900 on 16 October 2026 on UPCoM, the unlisted public company market where it has traded since 2018. The postponement removes, for now, a potential liquidity and visibility catalyst tied to a HoSE transfer, a step several Vietnamese securities firms have pursued to broaden their institutional investor base. The decision lands against a domestic equity market where brokerage shares remain sensitive to turnover levels and margin-lending demand, and where listing timetables are frequently calibrated to prevailing valuations.
Strategic Significance
The postponement is best read as a timing decision rather than an abandonment of the HoSE ambition, but it leaves BMS without the valuation re-rating that often accompanies a move from UPCoM to the main board. For a mid-sized broker with charter capital of roughly VND 2,039 billion, HoSE listing would typically improve index eligibility, foreign-ownership accessibility and analyst coverage. The simultaneous board reshuffle adds a governance dimension: the departure of a chief executive who also held a board seat, alongside a recently elected director, means investors will want clarity on management continuity before the listing file is revived.

- Third-quarter 2026 financial results and brokerage market-share data for BMS.
- UPCoM trading liquidity and price action around the VND 11,900 reference level.
