Overview
Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HoSE) has imposed trading restrictions on shares of Hoa Chat Duc Giang Group (DGC) due to the company’s failure to submit its audited 2025 financial statements within the required 45-day period. The restriction follows DGC’s earlier placement under control status and removal from the VN30 index on May 13. The company is working with auditor UHY to complete the report by Q2 2026.
Key Facts
- HoSE issued the trading restriction decision on May 19, 2026.
- DGC was placed under control status and removed from the VN30 index on May 13, 2026.
- The company delayed submission of audited 2025 financial statements by more than 45 days.
- DGC has appointed UHY Auditing and Consulting Co., Ltd. as its auditor for the 2025 financial statements.
- The company expects to complete the audit and publish the report in Q2 2026.
- On May 8, 2026, shareholders elected three new board members, including Chairman Dao Huu Kha, replacing Dao Huu Huyen who was detained.
- For 2025, DGC reported preliminary net revenue of VND 11,266 billion (+14% YoY) and net profit of VND 3,188 billion (+3% YoY).
What Happened
On May 19, 2026, HoSE announced trading restrictions on DGC shares due to the company’s failure to submit audited 2025 financial statements within the regulatory 45-day deadline, violating listing regulations. This follows an earlier decision on May 13 to place DGC under control status and remove it from the VN30 index for the same reason.
To resolve the situation, DGC has engaged UHY Auditing and Consulting Co., Ltd. to conduct the audit. The company stated that audit work is being expedited and that it will cooperate with UHY to ensure the financial statements are published as soon as possible, with completion targeted in Q2 2026. Once the audited report is released, DGC will make full disclosures as required.
Market Context
DGC shares closed at VND 48,800 on May 20, 2026, down 2.20% with volume of 5.14 million shares. The stock has been under pressure since the initial control status announcement. DGC is listed on HoSE and is a major player in Vietnam’s chemical sector, producing phosphoric acid, yellow phosphorus, and fertilizers. The trading restriction limits liquidity and may affect investor sentiment, though the company’s preliminary 2025 results showed revenue and profit growth.
Strategic Significance
The trading restriction highlights governance and compliance risks at DGC, particularly following the detention of former chairman Dao Huu Huyen. The appointment of a new chairman and board members signals an attempt to stabilize management. However, the delayed audit raises questions about internal controls and financial reporting processes. For long-term investors, the key concern is whether the company can restore normal trading status and maintain its operational performance, especially given its strong preliminary 2025 results.
What to Watch
- Completion and publication of audited 2025 financial statements in Q2 2026.
- HoSE’s decision to lift trading restrictions and control status.
- Any further regulatory actions or penalties from the State Securities Commission.
- Updates on the legal situation of former chairman Dao Huu Huyen and its impact on the company.
- Q1 2026 earnings release and guidance for the full year.
