Notably, each time MSN stock approaches a market capitalization of 100,000 billion VND, its price tends to decline. The most recent near-miss was on January 21, 2024, when MSN’s market capitalization reached 99,730 billion VND at its highest price during that trading session.
Meanwhile, Masan’s close associate, Techcombank (TCB), has seen a positive upward trend, with its stock price increasing by 46% from November 2023 to date. At the end of the February 23 session, TCB stock had a price of 40,100 VND/share, with a market capitalization of over 141,000 billion VND, the highest since May 2022.
Starting their entrepreneurial journey in Eastern Europe and then returning home to develop their business careers to new heights, billionaire duo Ho Hung Anh and Nguyen Dang Quang have built Masan and Techcombank into two leading companies in Vietnam.
These two companies have many connections as both Ho Hung Anh and Nguyen Dang Quang own shares in TCB and MSN. Masan is also the largest shareholder of Techcombank, with over 524 million TCB shares, representing a 14.88% ownership stake. Nguyen Dang Quang is also the Vice Chairman of Techcombank’s Board of Directors.
