Mr. Tran Vu Minh, the son of billionaire Tran Dinh Long, announced that he bought nearly 33.3 million Hoa Phat shares (HPG) out of an initial registered amount of 50 million shares. The trades were executed on a matching basis from March 12 to April 9, 2026. He did not purchase the full registered volume due to unfavorable market conditions.
