What Happened
According to transaction-result reports filed with the State Securities Commission and HOSE, Chairman Nguyen Viet Cuong was force-sold 810 KOS shares between September 30 and October 6, 2026. His holding fell from 72,375,300 to 72,374,490 shares, or about 33.43% of Kosy’s outstanding stock. The same day, Kosy Real Estate Investment Co. Ltd., an entity related to Cuong and Vice Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Hang, reported 8,000 KOS shares force-sold on September 29 and from October 1 to October 5, leaving it 9,969,700 shares, or about 4.605%.
The forced sales followed multiple sessions in which KOS sat at the floor with a large sell queue but very low matched volume. On October 6, the stock fell the full limit to 12,750 VND, extending its floor-price streak to 12 sessions, with only about 5,000 shares matched. Kosy has attributed the price action to market supply and demand, investor sentiment, declining liquidity, and securities firms cutting margin ratios, while saying its real estate, renewable energy, and project operations remain on plan. The company also completed the transfer of its entire stake in Thuy Dien Construction Investment Consulting JSC, which owns the Nam Pac 1 and Nam Pac 2 hydropower plants in Lai Chau, without disclosing the transfer value or buyer.
Market Context
KOS trades on HOSE and closed at 12,750 VND on October 6, 2026, down more than half from around 30,000 VND in mid-September. The 12-session floor streak with minimal matched volume indicates a liquidity vacuum, where margin calls and forced selling meet almost no buying interest. The situation reflects broader stress in Vietnam’s real estate sector, where developers with high leverage and concentrated ownership face tighter margin lending and weaker retail participation.
Strategic Significance
The forced sales are tiny in absolute terms but signal that margin financing against KOS shares is being unwound, which can pressure the stock further if lenders continue to liquidate. The exit from the hydropower consulting unit, which owns the 30.5 MW Nam Pac 1 and Nam Pac 2 plants, removes a renewable-energy asset from Kosy’s portfolio at a time when the company is trying to manage liquidity. For long-term investors, the key question is whether Kosy can stabilize its capital structure and restore trading liquidity, or whether the ownership concentration and margin overhang will keep the stock under pressure.
What to Watch
- Further disclosures from the State Securities Commission and HOSE on additional margin-related forced sales by Chairman Nguyen Viet Cuong or related entities.
- Kosy’s announcement of the transfer value and buyer for the hydropower consulting subsidiary.
- Daily trading volume and floor sell queue for KOS to gauge whether liquidity is returning.
- Any company statement on margin ratios, debt repayment, or asset sales.
- Third-quarter 2026 earnings release for Kosy, if scheduled, to assess real estate and energy project progress.
