What Happened
Flexfin Investment, a financial services company established in January 2024, has been steadily accumulating shares of PetroVietnam Securities (PSI) on the HNX exchange. After crossing the 5% threshold on May 28 with a purchase of 488,300 shares, the firm added another 845,600 shares on June 8, bringing its total holding to 4.29 million shares, equivalent to a 7.17% stake. The transactions were disclosed in a regulatory filing.
Flexfin originally operated as a joint-stock company but converted to a limited liability company in March 2026. Its sole owner is Mr. Vu Duy Khanh, born in 2002. The company’s registered activities include debt trading, consulting, and brokerage.
Market Context
PSI shares closed at VND 8,800 on June 12, 2026, down 1.12% with low volume of 74,400 shares. The stock has likely been influenced by the accumulation activity, though the price remains subdued. PSI is a small-cap securities firm on HNX, and its Q1/2026 earnings showed strong growth, with net profit more than tripling year-on-year. The broader securities sector has seen mixed performance amid market volatility.
Strategic Significance
The stake-building by Flexfin suggests a strategic investor sees value in PSI’s improving fundamentals and potential for further growth. PSI’s Q1 results were driven by proprietary trading, margin lending, and brokerage revenue, all of which posted strong gains. The increase in margin loans indicates rising client activity. Flexfin’s entry as a major shareholder could signal confidence in PSI’s business model and future earnings trajectory, though the investor’s long-term intentions remain unclear.
