HCMC – The Hochiminh Stock Exchange, or HOSE, today, July 5, released a list of 76 stocks and fund certificates ineligible for margin trading in the third quarter of this year, two stocks higher than the previous list published in the second quarter.
The list includes stocks frequently under warning or control by authorities, such as ABS, TGG, HBC, HNG, HVN, ITA, LDG, NVT, PMG, POM, QBS, SCD and APC.
Margin trading restrictions have also been imposed on several stocks, such as NKG, APH, DC4, DTL, LEC, MHC, PSH, PVD, SMC, SRF, TSC and VJC. These companies suffered accumulated losses, according to their financial statements.
Another reason for the restrictions is that some companies have failed to file their audited financial statements on time.
Additionally, some other stocks and fund certificates listed for less than six months are also ineligible for margin trading, including PVP, FUEFCV50 and FUEMAVND.
Other fund certificates, including FUCTVGF3, FUCVREIT, FUEDCMID, FUEIP100, FUEKIVFS and FUEKIV30, have been subject to margin trading restrictions as their indicative net asset value (iNAV) is lower than the par value based on the monthly report on NAV Changes for three consecutive months.
Investors will not be able to use the credit limit provided by brokerage companies to buy these stocks and fund certificates.
