HCMC – The Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) has announced the delisting of more than 42.7 million SDT shares of Song Da No 10 JSC on January 23, with a total face value of VND427.3 billion.
This decision comes as a result of the company’s poor financial performance. It has incurred losses for three consecutive years. The warning about potential delisting of SDT shares was initially issued by HNX in late March 2023, citing the firm’s financial difficulties over the past three years.
According to the audited financial reports, SDT reported losses of VND4.47 billion in 2020, VND14.27 billion in 2021, and VND15.65 billion in 2022.
SDT, which went public in December 2006 at an opening price of VND67,800 per share, had been under warning status since April 2022 due to negative undistributed post-tax profits as of December 31, 2021.
Despite a brief return to profitability in the second and third quarters of 2023, SDT reported a cumulative loss of VND6.54 billion in the January-September period, according to its consolidated earnings reports.
Closing the trading session today, December 29, SDT shot up to its daily upper limit of VND4,200.
