QTP

HND CEO Duong Son Ba was prosecuted and detained on May 21, 2026, for allegedly forging documents as part of a broader environmental monitoring scandal involving multiple thermal power plants, including QTP. The scandal has already led to arrests at Quang Ninh Thermal Power (QTP). Investors should monitor legal developments and potential operational disruptions at HND and QTP.

Foreign investors net sold 840 billion VND (~33.6 million USD) on May 12, with FPT, VHM, MSB, ACB, and VCB bearing the heaviest selling pressure. VIC and VRE were the top net buys, with VIC attracting 196 billion VND. The VN-Index closed near 1,900 points despite the outflow.

POW leads the Vietnamese power sector with Q1 net profit of VND 1,300B (+175%), driven by higher gas-fired plant utilization. NT2's profit quintupled to VND 180B, while PPC and QTP also posted double-digit gains. The recovery in thermal power margins reflects easing financial pressures and robust demand.
