HOSE (Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange) announced changes to index constituents. DGC was removed from VN30 after the stock was placed under supervision. On May 7, HOSE announced changes to index components including VNMITECH, VN50 Growth, and the HOSE-Index. For VN30, DGC’s stock was removed due to being placed under supervision. The replacement for DGC is BSR of Bình Sơn Refining and Petrochemical, moving from VNMidcap. With BSR leaving VNMidcap, BAF was added as a replacement. Not only VN30, DGC was also removed from VN100 (BAF replaced), VNAllshare, VNMITECH, and VN50 Growth (EVF replaced). On May 6, HOSE decided to move DGC from the watch list to under supervision from May 13, due to late submission of the 2025 audited financial statements beyond the 30-day grace period. The delay relates to the case involving Chairman Đào Hữu Huyền and Vice Chairman (son) Đào Hữu Duy Anh, who were prosecuted and remanded; company documents were seized to facilitate the investigation. According to the company’s explanation and remediation timetable, DGC said it is proceeding to select a new auditor for the 2025 financial statements, which will be approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting on May 8, 2026. The company commits to completing the audit and publishing full information, aiming to finish in Q2 2026 to address the situation. In practice, HOSE indices are reviewed periodically every six months; however, under the HOSE-Index construction and management rules, constituent changes can occur within a cycle if a stock is placed under control, special control, trading halt, or delisting.
