What Happened
HOSE announced on June 24, 2026 that it would place DGC stock under warning from June 30, 2026, due to a qualified audit opinion on the 2025 financial statements. Additionally, DGC remains under restricted trading monitoring following a May 20 decision for late submission of the audited 2025 report (over 45 days late). The stock had been under control since May 13 for a 30-day delay, but after filing the audited report, the penalty was reduced.
Under restricted trading, DGC shares can still be traded throughout the day, but only via periodic odd-lot matching, not continuous order matching. The restrictions stem from the prosecution of Chairman Dao Huu Huyen and Vice Chairman Dao Huu Duy Anh, which led to document seizures and delayed the audit.
Market Context
DGC closed at VND 50,400 on June 24, 2026, down 0.20% with volume of 452,700 shares. The stock has been under pressure due to the legal issues and regulatory actions. DGC is listed on HOSE and belongs to the Chemicals sector. The warning and restricted trading add to investor uncertainty, though the stock remains tradable.
Strategic Significance
The qualified audit opinion and legal troubles of key executives raise governance concerns for DGC. The company’s strong revenue growth (14% to VND 11.3 trillion) contrasts with flat net profit, partly due to the investigation. Investors should monitor the legal outcome and any impact on operations. The restricted trading regime limits liquidity but does not halt trading entirely.
What to Watch
- Outcome of the criminal investigation into Chairman and Vice Chairman.
- Any further regulatory actions from HOSE or the State Securities Commission.
- DGC’s ability to resolve the qualified audit opinion in future filings.
- Impact on DGC’s business operations and customer relationships.
- Next quarterly earnings report for signs of operational disruption.
