What Happened
HNX announced the list of 67 stocks that do not meet the conditions for margin trading in Q4 2026. The effective date is October 9, 2026. According to the announcement, most stocks were cut because they are under warning status, including BCC of CTCP Xi măng Bỉm Sơn, DS3 of CTCP DS3, HOM of CTCP Vicem Hoàng Mai, PGN of CTCP Phụ Gia Nhựa, and PPE of CTCP Tư vấn Đầu tư PP Enterprise. Others are under control status, such as CX8 of CTCP Đầu tư và Xây lắp Constrexim số 8, SDC of CTCP Tư vấn Sông Đà, and TTH of CTCP Thương mại và Dịch vụ Tiến Thành.
Three securities firms are on the list: APS of CTCP Chứng khoán Châu Á - Thái Bình Dương, HBS of CTCP Chứng khoán Hòa Bình, and VIG of CTCP Chứng khoán Đầu tư Tài chính Việt Nam. Two stocks, NRC of CTCP Tập đoàn NRC and CAR of CTCP Tập đoàn Giáo dục Trí Việt, were cut due to tax authority conclusions that the companies violated tax laws. Several stocks have two or more reasons for ineligibility. BNA of CTCP Tập đoàn Đầu tư Bảo Ngọc is under warning, control, and trading suspension; its parent-company after-tax profit for H1 2025 was negative in the reviewed consolidated financial statements; and it disclosed reviewed H1 2026 financial statements more than five working days late. GKM of CTCP GKM Holdings was cut due to warning/control/trading restriction status and negative audited 2025 after-tax profit.
Market Context
HBS closed at 3,700 VND on September 2, 2026, on HNX. NRC closed at 4,600 VND on October 9, 2026, and BNA closed at 1,800 VND on October 4, 2026. BCC closed at 5,400 VND on October 9, 2026. These low-priced stocks are often subject to speculative trading, and the margin ban removes a key source of leverage for traders. The broader HNX market has seen increased regulatory attention on issuers with compliance issues, particularly those with negative profits or late disclosures.
Strategic Significance
For long-term investors, the margin ban is a clear signal of regulatory risk. Stocks on this list often have underlying financial or governance problems that can lead to further sanctions, including delisting. The inclusion of HBS, a securities firm, highlights that even financial-sector companies are not immune to compliance failures. The ban may reduce liquidity and increase volatility in these names, as margin traders are forced to unwind positions. Investors should assess whether the affected companies can resolve their issues, such as returning to profitability or improving disclosure timeliness, to regain margin eligibility in future quarters.
What to Watch
- HNX’s next quarterly margin eligibility list for Q1 2027, expected in early January 2027.
- BNA’s progress in addressing late disclosure and negative profit issues.
- NRC and CAR responses to tax authority conclusions, including any appeals or remediation plans.
- HBS’s financial performance and compliance status in upcoming quarterly reports.
- Trading liquidity and price action in affected stocks following the October 9, 2026 effective date.
