Former TNH chairman Hoang Tuyen has sold his entire 3.2% stake, over 5.31 million shares, between 11 September and 8 October 2026, leaving the HOSE-listed hospital operator with no direct holding from a position that was near 10% in early 2024. The exit lands as TNH trades around VND 6,500, near its post-listing low of VND 5,660, and ahead of an extraordinary shareholder meeting on a convertible bond plan.

Merufa (UPCoM: MRF) Chairman Lưu Tiến Cảo and CEO Hoàng Phong Giao filed resignations two days apart, after three legacy shareholders cut their stakes below 5% and four new holders accumulated roughly 32.7% of the company. The leadership vacuum follows heavy negotiated-block trading of about 1.3 million MRF shares worth nearly VND 33 billion since July.

TNH board member Hoang Tuyen sold his entire 3.2% stake (over 5.3 million shares) between September 11 and October 8, 2026, exiting as a shareholder. The company also scheduled an extraordinary shareholder meeting for late October or early November 2026 to consider convertible bond issuance and charter amendments.

Traphaco (HOSE: TRA) was fined VND 160 million by the Ministry of Health's Drug Administration for three manufacturing violations, including unapproved changes to registered drug files and improper use of talc in production. Regulators applied maximum penalties after finding repeat and large-scale violations, adding to a pattern of tax-related penalties in 2018, 2023 and February 2026.

HNX has barred 67 stocks from margin trading in Q4 2026, effective October 9, 2026, citing warning status, control status, or tax violations. HBS, NRC, and BNA are among the affected tickers, with BNA flagged for multiple violations including negative parent profit and late financial disclosure.

HoSE's margin ineligibility list dated October 8, 2026 now covers 67 securities after adding two Thiên Việt fund certificates, FUCTVGF4 and FUCTVGF5. Vietnam Airlines (HVN), Đức Giang Chemicals (DGC), Gilimex (GIL) and KienlongBank (KLB) remain barred from margin trading on warning, control, loss or audit grounds.

HOSE trimmed its Q4/2026 margin-ineligible list to 65 tickers from 73, but the roster still spans 25 warning-status names, eight with negative first-half 2026 parent profit including MHC and STK, and audit-qualified filings at AAT, KLB, GIL and VTB. For affected HOSE-listed shares, the practical effect is that brokerages must stop extending margin on them from the start of the quarter.
