What Happened
Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) issued a decision on May 16 appointing Hoang Xuan Khoi, former deputy general director of EVNNPT, as acting CEO of the state-owned power transmission corporation. He replaces Truong Huu Thanh. Khoi, who had been in the deputy role for nearly four months, previously served as deputy director of Power Transmission Company 1 (PTC1).
The appointment comes as the Ministry of Public Security expands its investigation into irregularities at EVNNPT, PC1, PECC1, and PECC2. PECC2 disclosed on May 21 that authorities are probing a case involving these entities. EVNNPT simultaneously announced a reshuffle of deputy general directors, assigning specific responsibilities for technical operations, finance, and construction.
Market Context
PC1 shares on HOSE closed at VND 19,600 on May 27, down 1.51%, with elevated trading volume of 3.7 million shares. The stock has been under pressure since the investigation became public, reflecting investor concerns about potential legal and financial repercussions. PC1 operates in the construction and materials sector, with significant exposure to power transmission projects. The broader energy sector is closely watched as regulatory scrutiny intensifies.
Strategic Significance
The leadership change at EVNNPT signals a push for tighter governance and compliance amid the ongoing probe. For PC1, which relies on EVNNPT contracts for a substantial portion of its revenue, the investigation could lead to project delays, contract renegotiations, or reputational damage. The appointment of a compliance-focused acting CEO may also result in stricter procurement and oversight processes, potentially affecting PC1’s order book and margins in the near term.
What to Watch
- Further updates from the Ministry of Public Security investigation, including any charges or indictments.
- PC1’s Q2 2026 earnings release for signs of project delays or provisioning.
- EVNNPT’s procurement announcements and any changes in contractor selection criteria.
- Management changes at PC1 or its subsidiaries PECC1 and PECC2.
- Foreign ownership trends in PC1 as institutional investors reassess risk.
