Merger Of Habubank And Saigon Hanoi Bank 0 comments

This is a follow up to my previous post on the takeover of Habubank (HBB) by Saigon Hanoi bank (SHB). Soon after the rumors of the merger was circulated (and the near doubling of Habubank shares), both banks issued denials.

As is usual, when in doubt, follow the trading pattern if we want to know if the merger will go through.
Now, we finally have the first confirmation that the deal will be going ahead:
