HTP was fined VND 217.5M by the State Securities Commission for not holding its 2026 annual general meeting within the six-month deadline and for late disclosure of multiple financial statements and governance reports. The penalty highlights persistent governance and reporting lapses at the UPCOM-listed textbook printer.

Vietnam's VN-Index fell 14.11 points (-0.81%) to 1,720.98 on October 12, dragged down by VIC and VHM which together removed nearly 14 points, while HNX-Index rose 1.18%. Foreign investors net sold over 583.85 billion VND on HOSE, concentrated in TCB, PNJ, FPT and VIX.

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.

PYN Elite Fund reported a 6.3% NAV decline in September 2026, underperforming the VN-Index's 3.5% drop, with 12-month performance at -19.47%. The fund argues the market decline is unjustified given strong Q3 earnings expectations and historically low valuations.

Foreign investors net sold over 946 billion VND (~37.8 million USD) across the Vietnamese market on October 7, with PNJ, TCB, HDB, FPT and VIX seeing the heaviest selling on HoSE, while MSN led net buying.

HDBank (HDB) absorbed VND 2,000 billion in foreign net selling on October 6, the largest single-stock outflow on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange, as part of a market-wide VND 2,668 billion foreign net sell. HDB closed at 28,050 while the VN-Index edged up to 1,759 points on thin liquidity.

Foreign investors net sold VND 280bn (~USD 11.2m) on October 5, with TCB the heaviest outflow at VND 147bn. HPG led net buying at VND 64bn, followed by DGW at VND 57bn and GMD at VND 37bn, even as the VN-Index rose 15 points to 1,753.

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.

More than 21% of Vietnamese listed stocks, 334 tickers, closed below their March 2020 COVID-19 troughs after the final session of September 2026, even as FTSE Russell added 27 names to FTSE GEIS from 21 September. KOSY (KOS) is the latest breakdown, trading roughly 15.49% below that floor, while NVL faces an ex-rights date for a planned issuance of nearly 800.7 million shares.

PNJ shares fell for a fourth consecutive session to 24,750 VND, wiping over 4,200 billion VND (about 25%) off its market capitalization to roughly 12,665 billion VND, amid a broader market decline and a revised business plan projecting a loss.
