HÀ NỘI — PV Power is proceeding to shift its listing from the Unlisted Public Company Market (UPCoM) on the Hà Nội Stock Exchange to the Hồ Chí Minh Stock Exchange, which is expected to be completed in October or November.

The company is completing the procedures and will likely finish in a few weeks, according to Saigon Securities Inc’s research.

The research also reported the Government is planning to sell a  二 九-per-cent stake in PV Power, cutting State ownership in the power company to  五 一 per cent, without disclosing the divestment time. The selling price will be based on the valuation analysis and not less than the market price, the research said.

PV Power successfully sold more than  四 六 八 million shares, or  二0 per cent of its capital, in its first public offering (IPO) on January  三 一 this year, of which foreign investors combed about  六0 per cent of the share offer.

The company earned nearly VNĐ 七 trillion (US$ 三00. 四 million) from the sale.

At the end of August, PV Power posted consolidated revenues of VNĐ 二 一. 六 六 trillion, completing  七 三 per cent of its target set for the whole year.

Alongside the strong growth of the oil and gas stocks in recent time, the price of PV Power, coded POW on the UPCoM, has risen nearly  五0 per cent in the past two months and is being traded at around VNĐ 一 六, 二00 per share. — VNS
