HÀ NỘI — The Hà Nội Stock Exchange (HNX) has suspended 21 companies on the Unlisted Public Company Market (UPCoM) for three days over failure to release audited 2019 financial reports.

Their stocks will be suspended for three trading days between Friday (May 21) and Monday (May 25). The suspension will be lifted once the companies make their official financial statements.

The companies’ stocks will fall into the restriction list after the suspension if their audited reports are still not published.

Some of those stocks have remained inactive since their debuts such as HGA, CFV and TS5.
