Overview
The State Securities Commission (SSC) has revoked the public company status of four well-known Vietnamese firms—Loc Troi (LTG), Bamboo Capital (BCG), BCG Land (BCR), and Rang Dong Holding (RDP)—due to persistent disclosure violations. This regulatory action leads to the cancellation of their UPCoM trading registrations, with final trading dates spanning July to August 2026. The move underscores heightened enforcement of transparency rules in Vietnam’s capital markets.
Key Facts
- LTG’s public company status is revoked effective August 11, 2026; over 100.7 million shares will be delisted from UPCoM on August 25, 2026, with the last trading day on August 24, 2026.
- BCG and BCR lost public status on August 5, 2026; 880.2 million BCG shares and 473.8 million BCR shares will be delisted on August 19, 2026, with final trading on August 18, 2026.

- BCG and BCR failed to disclose audited financial statements for two consecutive years (2024 and 2025) and did not publish AGM resolutions for 2025 and 2026.
- LTG, founded in 1993 as An Giang Plant Protection Services, became a public company in 2007 and listed on UPCoM in 2017.
What Happened
The SSC issued formal notices revoking the public company status of LTG, BCG, BCR, and RDP, citing repeated violations of disclosure obligations under securities law. For LTG, the revocation stems from a series of failures: not publishing the 2026 AGM resolution, late submission of reviewed semi-annual reports for 2024 and 2025, and failure to file the audited 2024 annual report. These breaches triggered warning, restriction, and suspension measures before the final delisting.
Similarly, BCG and its subsidiary BCR failed to meet disclosure requirements for two consecutive fiscal years, including audited financial statements and AGM resolutions. RDP, a former leading plastics firm, also lost its status after transitioning to a holding model and failing to comply with reporting rules. The Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) subsequently cancelled trading registrations for all affected tickers on UPCoM, with specific dates announced for each company.
Market Context
LTG, trading on UPCOM, closed at VND 5,300 on June 21, 2026, down 3.64% with thin volume of 52,100 shares, reflecting investor caution amid regulatory troubles. BCG, also on UPCOM, closed at VND 3 on October 8, 2025, with high volume of 14.6 million shares, while BCR closed at VND 1,100 on June 21, 2026, with modest volume. The delistings remove these stocks from the official UPCoM platform, pushing trading to unregulated venues or over-the-counter markets, which typically reduces liquidity and price transparency. This event is part of a broader trend of stricter enforcement by the SSC, which has increased penalties for non-compliance in recent years.
Strategic Significance
For long-term investors, the loss of public company status signals severe governance and compliance failures, making these equities significantly riskier. The delisting limits access to regulated trading, reduces investor protection, and may impair the companies’ ability to raise capital through public markets. For LTG, a major agricultural firm, the revocation could affect its operational credibility and partnerships. For BCG and its real estate subsidiary BCR, the move adds to existing financial stress in the property sector. Investors should reassess their exposure to these names, considering the diminished regulatory oversight and potential for further operational disruptions.
What to Watch
- Any announcements from LTG, BCG, BCR, or RDP regarding plans to re-comply with disclosure rules or seek re-listing on other exchanges.
- Trading activity in these stocks on unofficial platforms or OTC markets post-delisting, which may indicate residual investor interest.
- Regulatory actions against other companies with similar disclosure violations, signaling the SSC’s enforcement trajectory.
- Financial restatements or delayed reports that could clarify the companies’ actual financial health.
- Legal challenges or appeals by the affected companies against the SSC’s decisions.
