The firm started to trade its shares on the Unlisted Public Company Market (UPCoM) on March 6 this year, at the starting price of 14,900 VND per share, according to PV Power Chairman Ho Cong Ky.
PV Power has a charter capital of more than 23.4 trillion VND (1 billion USD), with the National Oil and Gas Group (PVN) as the biggest shareholder at nearly 80 percent of ownership.

On December 17, the HoSE approved the listing of PV Power on the southern bourse, nine months after it debuted on the UPCoM, the shortest time ever a stock was shifted from UPCoM to HoSE, Ky said.
PV Power will close its shareholder list on December 27 and stop trading on the UPCoM the following day to prepare for the shifting.
