Overview
HOSE has added a new warning flag to VPG shares effective September 23, 2026, after Viet Phat Import Export Trading Investment JSC filed its reviewed H1 2026 financial statements more than 15 days past the regulatory deadline. The ticker already sat under warning status for an audit exception and negative retained earnings, and the company’s Q2 2026 results showed revenue nearly eliminated and a VND 34 billion net loss.
Key Facts
- HOSE issued the warning decision on September 16, with effect from September 23, 2026, per the exchange’s announcement.
- VPG filed its reviewed H1 2026 financial statements more than 15 days late, triggering the warning under HOSE rules.
- HOSE had already reminded VPG twice about the late filing, on September 4 and September 11, 2026.
- Existing warning drivers: an exception opinion from auditor UHY Audit and Consulting Co. Ltd. and negative retained earnings, based on audited FY2025 statements.
- Q2 2026 net loss: VND 34 billion, versus a VND 24 billion profit in the same period last year.
- Q2 2026 revenue: VND 386 million, down nearly 100% from VND 4,370 billion a year earlier; thermal coal revenue alone fell VND 2,738 billion.
- H1 2026 cumulative: revenue of VND 191 billion (-98%) and a net loss of VND 66 billion, versus a VND 47 billion profit in H1 2025.
- In 2025, the Ministry of Public Security’s investigative agency prosecuted Chairman Nguyễn Văn Bình and CEO Nguyễn Văn Đức on bribery charges linked to Việt Trung Mineral and Metallurgy Co. Ltd.
What Happened
According to the HOSE notice, VPG failed to submit its reviewed H1 2026 financial statements within the required window, exceeding the deadline by more than 15 days. The exchange had issued two prior reminders on September 4 and September 11 before formally placing the stock on warning from September 23. The new flag is additive: VPG was already under warning for the UHY audit exception and for negative retained earnings disclosed in its audited 2025 statements.
The company’s Q2 2026 consolidated financial statements show a net loss of VND 34 billion, reversing a VND 24 billion profit a year earlier, on revenue of just VND 386 million. Management attributed the collapse primarily to the core trading business, with thermal coal revenue down VND 2,738 billion and coke and ore revenue also falling across the board. VPG also cited commodity market volatility and the reputational impact of senior personnel changes. In 2025, police prosecuted Chairman Nguyễn Văn Bình and CEO Nguyễn Văn Đức for bribery in connection with Việt Trung Mineral and Metallurgy. Financial expenses of VND 28 billion in Q2 reflected slow customer collections and delayed bank repayments.
Market Context
VPG trades on HOSE and closed at VND 1,390 on September 21, 2026, near the bottom of the exchange’s price band and consistent with a stock that has been under sustained warning pressure. The company sits in the Basic Resources sector with logistics and energy exposure, segments that have faced weak coal and ore demand. The warning escalation comes amid a broader HOSE push for stricter disclosure enforcement, where repeated filing delays increasingly result in formal warning status rather than leniency.
Strategic Significance
For long-term investors, the warning stack matters less as a trading signal than as a governance signal. A late filing, an auditor exception, negative retained earnings, and criminal prosecutions of the top two executives together describe a company whose reporting controls and management continuity are impaired. The near-total revenue collapse in Q2 2026 suggests the core trading model has effectively stalled, and slow receivables plus delayed bank payments point to liquidity strain that could persist even if commodity prices recover. Until VPG files reviewed statements and demonstrates a functioning revenue base, the equity carries structural disclosure and solvency risk rather than a cyclical recovery thesis.
What to Watch
- Submission of the reviewed H1 2026 financial statements and whether HOSE removes the late-filing warning.
- Any update from UHY on the audit exception and whether it is resolved in the next audit cycle.
- Q3 2026 results for evidence of revenue recovery or further deterioration in coal and ore trading.
- Progress on bank debt repayment and customer receivables collection, given VND 28 billion in quarterly financial expenses.
- Legal developments in the bribery cases against Chairman Nguyễn Văn Bình and CEO Nguyễn Văn Đức, and any changes to senior management.
