Despite the raised evaluation standards under the new regulations, the percentage of businesses meeting the Information Disclosure Standards in 2026 continues to remain stable at a high level, reaching 67%.
On July 6, 2026, the IR Awards 2026 program officially announced the “Comprehensive Survey Report on Information Disclosure Activities in the Stock Market in 2026”. This is an annual activity under the IR Awards Program (2011-2026) co-organized by Vietstock, the VAFE Association, and the FiLi e-magazine.
Accordingly, this is the third consecutive year that Saigon Thuong Tin Real Estate Joint Stock Company - TTC Land (HOSE: SCR) has been included in the list of 459 enterprises meeting the Information Disclosure Standards in the stock market, thereby demonstrating not only its obligations but also its responsibility to shareholders in particular and the investor community in general.
This is the third consecutive year that TTC Land has received the Information Disclosure Award - IR Awards 2026.
The IR Awards recognize and honor businesses that meet the standards for information disclosure on the stock market through a comprehensive survey and the annual publication of the list of businesses that meet the Information Disclosure Standards.
The results of the comprehensive survey on information disclosure activities on the stock market in 2026 show that the number of listed companies that fully and promptly meet their information disclosure obligations on both stock exchanges (HOSE and HNX) is 459 out of 685 units, accounting for 67% of the total number of businesses surveyed.
Compared to the previous year, the percentage of businesses meeting the Information Disclosure Standards in 2026 remains stable at over 67%. This result reflects the adaptation of businesses to new requirements regarding information disclosure standards, specifically that from January 1, 2026, listed companies must simultaneously disclose information in both Vietnamese and English for periodic reports, extraordinary information, requested information, and other disclosures as stipulated.

In the coming period, the IR Awards 2026 program will continue to implement IR voting and evaluation activities to select and honor the companies with the best IR activities in 2026.
SUMMARY OF THE SURVEY REPORT
The IR Awards 2026 program recognizes the achievements and honors listed companies that meet the information disclosure standards on the stock market through a comprehensive survey and the publication of a list of companies that meet the Information Disclosure Standards for the year.
According to Article 4 of Circular 68/2024/TT-BTC amending and supplementing some articles of Circular 96/2020/TT-BTC, from January 1, 2026, listed companies must simultaneously disclose information in both Vietnamese and English for periodic reports, extraordinary information, requested information, and other disclosure contents as prescribed. Standardizing bilingual information disclosure contributes to improving investors' access to information, reducing information asymmetry among investor groups, and aligning with international best practices on transparency and disclosure in the capital market.
The 2026 information disclosure survey was conducted on 685 listed companies on the HOSE and HNX exchanges, with an evaluation period of 12 months from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2026.
The 2026 survey results show that information disclosure activities in the stock market continue to maintain a stable and high level, with 459 listed companies achieving the Information Disclosure Best Practices 2026 award, representing 67% of the total surveyed entities.
Compared to 2025, the number of companies meeting the Information Disclosure Standards in 2026 decreased by 1 unit (from 460 to 459), with the achievement rate exceeding 67% (due to a decrease in the number of surveyed companies from 691 to 685). Despite the higher and stricter evaluation criteria with new regulations, the quality of information disclosure in the market remains stable.
Financial Large Cap companies continue to lead in information disclosure compliance among the four capitalization groups, with 86% achieving the Information Disclosure Standard in 2026. This result reflects stable performance and serves as a model for information disclosure standards – Financial Large Cap companies are those with large market capitalization, belonging to the financial sector, including banking, securities, and insurance; which are subject to strict supervision and high transparency requirements.
The Non-Financial Large Cap group – comprising large-cap companies in the non-financial sector – recorded a compliance rate of 64% in 2026, corresponding to 35 out of 55 companies. This is the lowest compliance rate among the four capitalization groups, a sharp decrease from the previous year's 72%. Despite being large-cap companies, the results show that maintaining increasingly high compliance standards remains a challenge for many companies outside the financial sector.
The Mid Cap group recorded a compliance rate of 71%, corresponding to 99 out of 139 companies. Although slightly lower than the previous year, Mid Cap maintained its second position in terms of compliance rate, indicating that the overall compliance level for mid-sized companies remains relatively stable.
The Small Cap group continues to show positive progress, with the percentage of businesses meeting disclosure standards increasing to 65%, corresponding to 300 out of 462 businesses. Compared to the previous year, this group continues to show an improving trend (up 2 percentage points), reflecting the gradually increasing level of compliance with disclosure requirements among small-scale businesses – which often have limited resources and information disclosure systems.
Compared to the broad improvement trend in 2025, the information disclosure picture by industry in 2026 is more clearly differentiated. Some industries continue to improve well, such as finance (up 1 percentage point), utilities (up 5 percentage points), information technology (up 9 percentage points), and industry (up 6 percentage points), while many others have adjusted significantly.
The ranking of businesses meeting disclosure standards across industry groups has changed significantly. The financial sector maintained its leading position with a compliance rate of 78%, while sectors that had high compliance rates in the previous year, such as energy and essential consumer goods, saw declines of 9 and 4 percentage points, respectively. Notably, some sectors experienced significant drops, such as healthcare (down 20 percentage points) and media services (down 31 percentage points), facing considerable pressure to maintain information disclosure standards.
The non-essential consumer goods sector significantly improved, with the percentage of businesses meeting information disclosure standards reaching 65% in 2026 (an increase of 8 percentage points), thus moving its ranking from the bottom to the middle group. Meanwhile, the real estate sector maintained a similar rate to the previous year at 59%, remaining one of the sectors with the lowest compliance rates and still having room for improvement to catch up with the overall market.
