Transimex (TMS VN): Unsuccessful purchase of VNT VN and TJC VN shares
Transimex had registered to buy 100,000 shares of VNT Logistics (VNT VN) in May but failed to complete and explained that the market price momentum had not been favourable. Before that, Transimex held 3.7 million VNT VN shares, equivalent to 22.3% of shares outstanding. Transimex had also registered to buy 100,000 TJC VN shares and the results and explanation were still the same. We note that Transco (TJC VN) is already a subsidiary of Transimex with 57.6% owned by the latter, TMS VN closed at VND42,400 per share on 5th June 2025, thus 28.0x P/E and 1.7x P/B.
