Overview
Le Ngoc Nhi, a member of the major shareholder group at CTCP Ngoại thương và Phát triển Đầu tư TP.HCM (Fideco, ticker FDC, HOSE), has registered to purchase 1.85 million FDC shares for investment purposes. If completed, the transaction would raise her personal holding from 3.49% to 8.28% of charter capital and the group’s aggregate stake from 10.63% to 15.42%. The registration follows an identical, unsuccessful attempt in September 2026.

What Happened
Fideco disclosed the transaction in a notice on dealings by insiders and related persons, published on the company’s information channel. According to the filing, Le Ngoc Nhi registered to buy 1.85 million FDC shares, equivalent to 4.79% of the company’s capital, through order matching or negotiated trades on HOSE between 22 October and 20 November 2026. The stated objective is investment.
The registration is the second attempt at the same volume. Nhi previously registered to buy 1.85 million shares over 4 September to 3 October 2026 but did not acquire any stock before the window closed, with the notice attributing the outcome to unfavourable market developments. Fideco, founded in 1989 as Công ty Phát triển Thủy hải sản TP.HCM and renamed in late 1993, now positions real estate as its core business across urban, resort and commercial-service segments. Its flagship project is the roughly 29.83-hectare Cần Giờ luxury residential area in Long Hòa, comprising 71 commercial shophouses, 75 townhouses, 193 villas and a resettlement zone.
Market Context
FDC closed at VND 22,650 on 10 September 2026 on HOSE. At that reference price, the registered 1.85 million shares would be worth approximately VND 41.9 billion, a sizeable block relative to the company’s modest free float and consistent with the thin liquidity that likely frustrated the September attempt. The stock sits in the small-cap real estate segment of the HOSE market, where sentiment has been shaped by the pace of legal and land-clearance progress on residential projects rather than by broad index flows. The filing does not disclose the price at which the shares are intended to be bought.
Strategic Significance
The key signal is the persistence of the shareholder group rather than the size of the trade. A repeat registration at the same volume after a failed attempt suggests the group is committed to consolidating influence at Fideco, and a move to 15.42% would strengthen its position ahead of any decisions on the Cần Giờ project, where land status and development timing are the main value drivers. For minority holders, a rising insider stake can reduce free float and amplify price sensitivity to news, but the September outcome is a reminder that registered purchases are intentions, not commitments. The filing does not disclose the transaction value or financing arrangements.
What to Watch
- Disclosure of the actual number of shares purchased after the window closes on 20 November 2026.
- Daily trading volume and average matching value on FDC through October and November, to gauge whether liquidity can absorb 1.85 million shares.
- Any regulatory or land-related update on the 29.83-hectare Cần Giờ residential project.
- Further filings from other members of the 10.63% shareholder group, which would indicate coordinated accumulation.
- Fideco’s next periodic financial disclosure for updates on real estate revenue recognition and project timelines.
