News about VND

VNDIRECT's Board of Directors (HoSE: VND) has approved convening an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in 2026, with the final record date set for 25 November 2026 and an entitlement ratio of 1:1. The company has not yet announced the time, venue or agenda, and Chairman Phạm Minh Hương has been authorized to decide these details and the procedures for convening the meeting. The move came as VND shares hit the daily limit with a 6.9% gain to VND 13,950 per share in the 4 November session, on more than 21.6 million shares traded, nearly double the previous session. For Q3 2026, operating revenue was nearly VND 1,715 billion, down 22.6% year on year, and after-tax profit about VND 329 billion, down 64.5%; however, nine-month pre-tax profit reached VND 2,199 billion, up 3% and 73% of the full-year plan. Outstanding margin lending at quarter-end was over VND 12,115 billion, down about 11.2% from the start of the year.

As of October 17, 5 of the 10 securities firms that had reported Q3 2026 results posted profits and 5 posted losses, with earnings diverging sharply due to large swings in proprietary trading. Rồng Việt Securities JSC (VDS) reported a pre-tax loss of over VND 105 billion, versus a profit of nearly VND 310 billion a year earlier, as investment revenue fell nearly 90% and portfolio devaluation costs exceeded VND 124.5 billion. EVS also posted a pre-tax loss of over VND 52 billion in Q3. In contrast, NH Vietnam Securities (NHSV) reported revenue of nearly VND 131 billion, up 69%, driven by lending and held-to-maturity investment income. MBS is currently leading the group in profit scale.

The State Securities Commission (UBCKNN) urges investors to stay alert, avoid trusting, and not share unverified information online. The Cybersecurity Department of the Ministry of Public Security, working with Hanoi police and UBCKNN, handled the TikTok account “Kiến Trúc Sư”, whose owner posted videos from July 25, 2026 with sweeping, false claims about securities firms’ margin lending. On September 21, 2026, Hanoi police fined the account owner VND 12.5 million for providing and sharing fabricated, false information that harmed the reputation of agencies and organizations. UBCKNN warns that publishing false or misleading information about the securities market will be strictly penalized under the law.
