“8 Words” Helped an Asian Tiger Escape the Middle-Income Trap and Become Rich Before Growing Old: What Can Vietnam Learn?

Associate Prof. Dr. Phan Đăng Tuất, Chairman of VASI, argues that Vietnam needs a mechanism for large corporations to place orders with domestic supporting industry enterprises, building a production ecosystem worth tens of billions of USD. Manufacturing industry revenue in 2024 reached about 4.63 billion USD, a modest figure compared with textile and garment export value of 46 billion USD in 2025. He cites South Korea’s law “Large enterprises must not make small parts,” under which 1,400 components and parts had to be sourced from small firms, helping domestic industry grow rapidly. He proposes 5 recommendations: enacting a Law on Supporting Industries, developing material industry policies, supporting technology renewal and green transition, establishing a national fund, and issuing a new nationwide master plan for supporting industries.

  • IMF warns Pacific , low - income Asian economies face growth downgrades

    The IMF says Pacific Island and low-income Asian economies face growth downgrades as energy shocks, rising fiscal pressures and uneven benefits from the AI boom widen gaps between economies. Regional growth is projected to slow from 5% in 2025 to 4.8% in 2026 and 4.4% in 2027, though Asia is still expected to contribute 68% of global growth. Cambodia, Bangladesh and some Pacific island countries have seen sizable downward revisions, while India, South Korea and some ASEAN economies benefit from technology-related investment and exports. Key risks include renewed Middle East tensions, a possible reassessment of AI gains, higher government borrowing costs and a potentially severe El Niño. Director Krishna Srinivasan urged targeted help for people affected by shocks rather than price controls, saying 'protect people and not prices'.

  • Middle - income Americans are feeling the squeeze

    A Pew Research Center analysis finds Americans' finances under strain in a midterm season where affordability is a key issue. Only 47% of middle-income earners, and 24% of lower-income earners, reported being able to save in the past year, and just over half of middle-income adults lack rainy-day funds covering three months of expenses. Across income tiers, most respondents cut back on extras such as eating out or streaming. Pressure may be growing: consumer price index inflation rose from 3.4% to 3.7% in September, above a 3.6% forecast, and inflation-adjusted wages have fallen for six months. Pew also found 78% of middle-income respondents could pay all bills in full in 2026, down from 81% in 2020, while 71% of lower-income adults struggled with at least one basic necessity.

  • Nvidia (NVDA): Can Paid Software Make Its Earnings Less Dependent on Hardware Sales?

    NVIDIA sells AI chips, networking gear and systems to cloud providers and enterprises, while AI Enterprise and Mission Control add paid software and support. CUDA makes switching platforms costly, but AI Enterprise lists at $4,500 per GPU annually and free alternatives exist. The stock trades at 25x forward P/E, yet reported earnings remain dominated by data-center demand. Analysts expect adjusted EPS to rise from $9.31 in fiscal 2027 to $15.91 in fiscal 2028, about 71%. First-half free cash flow reached $69.9 billion, but supply and capacity commitments hit $279 billion, and June's $25 billion debt issuance adds financing costs.

  • Roblox Is Now Down 38% in 2026: Is RBLX Stock Dead Money or Poised for a Comeback?

    Roblox stock is down 38% year to date to $50.41, with a late-September court ruling letting a Los Angeles County child exploitation lawsuit proceed and a Jefferies downgrade to Underperform adding pressure. Jefferies argued the rally after the Q2 report priced in too much bookings growth, which rose only 8% to $1.6 billion in Q2 even as daily active users grew 10% to 123 million. Safety changes, including a mandatory age check, had already led Roblox to cut its full-year revenue growth forecast to 20% to 25% earlier this year. For Q3 2026, Roblox forecasts a year-over-year bookings decline of 14% to 18%. Take-Two (down 20%) and GameStop (up 31%) year to date suggest the pressure is specific to Roblox, and the article frames the key test as whether bookings stabilize while user growth continues.

  • Super Micro (SMCI) Won Over $60 Billion in Orders, Is the Discount Deserved?

    A contractor linked to Super Micro Computer (SMCI) pleaded guilty earlier this month to helping ship servers with advanced Nvidia chips to China, a case prosecutors say involved billions of dollars of U.S. AI technology, though the company says it was not named as a defendant and its operations are unaffected. Sales for the fiscal year ended June reached $39.1 billion, up from $22.0 billion, with CEO Charles Liang citing more than $60 billion in new orders, several hundred added enterprise customers, and a record backlog. Management guides to $65.0 billion to $72.0 billion in fiscal 2027 sales, and sales have grown about 61.5% a year over five years. Gross margin was 10.8% for the full year but rose to 17.5% in the June quarter, with net income of $1,178 million, while the trailing 12-month operating margin was 7.09%. The article notes the stock trades at a much lower multiple of expected earnings than the sector, and that one strong quarter does not yet prove a new margin level.

  • Is Nvidia Stock Really Trading for Just 8 Times 2030 Earnings?

    Nvidia is the market's most valuable company, with a market cap above $5 trillion. It trades at 27 times adjusted trailing earnings, but only about 8 times analysts' estimate for fiscal 2030 earnings, a figure the author stresses is a moving target. Revenue growth accelerated from 56% in Q2 FY 2026 to 106% in Q2 FY 2027, though guidance points to a slight slowdown in the current quarter. The stock trades at 13 times next year's earnings, and the board recently authorized a record $150 billion in share repurchases. The author also acknowledges risks such as slower growth or contracting net margins.

  • California billionaire tax could backfire, Stanford study says

    Stanford economists Benjamin Jaros and Joshua Rauh argue in an NBER working paper that California's proposed one-time 5% tax on billionaire wealth could raise far less than projected and ultimately reduce state revenue. Seven billionaires, including Peter Thiel, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, have publicly left the state, removing about $540 billion, or 30%, of California's billionaire wealth from potential taxation. The authors estimate the measure could generate only about $30 billion, versus the $100 billion projected by proponents, while losing $1 billion to $3.5 billion a year in income tax revenue could leave the state about $39 billion worse off in present-value terms if those losses persist. The measure, Proposition 40, goes to voters next month, and a Citrin-Politico poll found 46% of likely voters in favor and 43% opposed. Supporters, including Nobel laureates Daron Acemoglu and Joseph Stiglitz, argue the tax will fund health care and that California has attracted more venture funding since the proposal was announced.

  • US Orders Civilian Agencies to Rip DeepSeek Out of Government Systems

    The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Monday ordered civilian federal agencies to remove DeepSeek products and third-party services built on the model from their IT systems, and to stop buying them. The notice warns that using DeepSeek may transfer sensitive data to China and could produce intelligence on U.S. persons and agencies. The Commerce Department, the Navy, and the states of New York, Tennessee and Virginia had already restricted DeepSeek. The FCC votes on October 29 on barring Chinese labs from testing electronics for U.S. use.

  • NVIDIA Stock And 2 Other Undervalued Stocks To Own

    Rising interest rates have pushed down bond prices, with 10-year U.S. Treasuries recording one of their steepest multi-year declines since the 18th century. The article highlights three U.S. stocks that a Simply Wall St cash flow screen considers attractively priced relative to their future cash flow potential: NVIDIA, Wells Fargo and J.B. Hunt Transport Services. NVIDIA generated about US$275.4b from Compute & Networking and US$27.6b from Graphics, with a market cap of US$5,170.6b, and the piece notes that an open-source or cheaper alternative to its CUDA platform could weaken its moat. Wells Fargo, with a market cap of US$251.7b, grew average loans 12% and average deposits 10% year over year in 2Q26 after the removal of its asset cap, while J.B. Hunt, with a market cap of US$21.3b and US$13.3b in revenue, recorded record intermodal volume of over 578,000 loads in Q2 2026.
