HoSE Removes Margin Eligibility From Three More Stocks, Including Kienlongbank

Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange has cut margin eligibility for three more shares, including KLB of Kienlongbank, after reviewing their latest financial reports.

The exchange added KLB, MHC of MHC JSC and STK of Century Synthetic Fiber Corporation to its list of securities ineligible for margin trading. The measure took effect on September 4, 2026, meaning investors cannot use borrowed funds from securities companies to buy the shares while the restrictions remain.

For KLB, HoSE cited the reviewed first-half 2026 consolidated financial statements. The auditor’s review concluded with an opinion that was not fully unqualified. MHC and STK entered the list because their reviewed first-half consolidated reports recorded negative net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company.

After the additions, HoSE’s ineligible list contained 72 stocks. The list includes shares affected by warning, control or trading restrictions, companies reporting losses, stocks listed for less than six months, and companies whose audited or reviewed financial statements do not receive fully unqualified opinions.

Other names on the list include DGC of Đức Giang Chemicals Group and HVN of Vietnam Airlines, both under trading restrictions. Newly listed shares such as LPS of LPBank Securities, VBB of VietBank and AAN of A An Food also remained ineligible for margin trading because they had not been listed for six months.
