- The removal follows two consecutive profitable years (2024 and 2025).

What Happened
HOSE announced that Vietnam Airlines’ shares will be removed from restricted trading status starting July 14, 2026, based on the company’s 2025 audited consolidated financial statements. The airline reported positive shareholders’ equity, positive net profit, and received an unqualified audit opinion. However, due to accumulated losses, HVN remains under warning status.
The restricted trading status had limited HVN shares to trading only in the afternoon session. The removal allows full-session trading, which is expected to enhance liquidity and facilitate share transactions for the company’s 27,203 shareholders as of end-2025. The improvement follows Vietnam Airlines’ return to profitability in 2024 and 2025 after severe COVID-19 impacts.
Market Context
HVN closed at VND 25,400 on July 12, 2026, down 0.59% with volume of 1,003,800 shares. The stock has been under pressure from rising fuel costs, which the company cited as a key headwind for 2026. The removal of restricted trading may improve liquidity but does not address fundamental challenges. Vietnam Airlines trades on HOSE and is classified under the Travel & Leisure sector.
Strategic Significance
The removal of restricted trading status is a regulatory milestone that signals Vietnam Airlines’ financial recovery from the pandemic. However, the company still faces significant accumulated losses and a modest 2026 profit target of VND 22 billion, reflecting ongoing cost pressures. The improved trading conditions may attract more retail and institutional interest, but the warning status and uncertain dividend timeline limit near-term upside. Long-term recovery hinges on the successful ramp-up of Long Thanh International Airport operations and fuel cost management.
What to Watch
- Q2 2026 earnings release for signs of profit trend versus the full-year target.
- Progress on accumulated loss reduction and any updates on the 2030-2032 timeline.
- Fuel price movements and their impact on operating costs.
- Developments at Long Thanh International Airport and Vietnam Airlines’ capacity expansion.
- Any changes in foreign ownership limits or additional capital raising plans.
