Bank stocks made up 8 of the 10 most net-bought stocks by funds in September, with net buying of about VND 1,034 billion, mainly in VPB, MBB and ACB, marking the second consecutive month of net buying. MBB drew about 52 funds, the most participants, while VPB saw net buying of 28.7 million shares from 20 funds. FiinGroup attributed much of the flow to ETF portfolio rebalancing rather than individual decisions by open-ended funds. SSI Research forecasts Q3 2026 pre-tax profit for the banks it analyzed at VND 10,000 billion, up 38% year on year but down 5% quarter on quarter, with pressure from NIM and bad debt. Meanwhile, equity funds fell an average of 6% in Q3, and investment funds saw net outflows of about VND 8,600 billion.

In the first nine months of 2026, pre-tax profit reached VND 28.9 trillion, up 23.7%, including a record quarterly pre-tax profit of VND 10.4 trillion in Q3, driven by a 40% rise in service income.

- Eight Banks Gear Up to Raise US$5.4 Billion: A New Race Among Vietnam's Banking Giants
SSI Research forecasts pre-tax profit of the tracked banks to grow 15.4% in 2027, slower than the estimated 19.5% growth for 2026, amid high funding costs and asset-quality pressure. Credit growth for the group is expected at 17.9%, with MBB, VPB and HDB leading thanks to their roles in taking over weaker credit institutions. Net interest margin (NIM) is seen easing slightly to 3.11%, with state-owned banks up 2 basis points and joint-stock banks down 8 basis points, while the NPL ratio could rise to 1.72%. The gap between credit and deposits remains near 2.5 million billion VND, and eight banks plan share issuances from Q4 2026 through 2027 worth an estimated 143,830 billion VND, about US$5.4 billion.

OCB, STB and TPB were net sold, with OCB's outflows driven mainly by the PYN Elite fund cutting its stake. Real estate and securities were the biggest net-sold sectors, at about VND 2,212 billion and VND 1,347 billion respectively. Across Q3 2026, funds saw net outflows of VND 8.6 trillion, the seventh straight quarter of outflows.
- The Investment Case for JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)
Diamond Hill's Large Cap Strategy returned 3.18% net of fees in Q3 2026, outperforming the 2.61% return of the Russell 1000 Value Index, and added JPMorgan Chase as a new holding. The firm said JPMorgan's scale should support continued technology investment that improves efficiency, helping contain expense growth and drive operating leverage. It expects below-average returns across the market due to high equity valuations, though attractive bottom-up opportunities remain. As of October 16, 2026, JPM closed at $339.72, with a $903.04 billion market cap, up 5.43% year-to-date and trading in a 52-week range of $279.10 to $366.50. Hedge fund portfolios holding JPM fell to 113 at the end of Q2 from 131 the previous quarter.

- BlackBerry Jumps 6% as Record QNX Backlog Extends Rally, Now Up 149% YTD; Mobileye Drops 4%, Aptiv Dips
BlackBerry stock rose 6% to $9.45 in afternoon trading after the company said its QNX unit’s royalty backlog exceeded $1.2 billion, a record, and the stock is up 149% year to date. Management credited growing adoption of the QNX Software Development Platform and the first deal for Alloy Kore, which it called the largest design win in QNX’s history, along with wins in robotics, industrial automation and medical devices. Over the same period, Mobileye fell 4% to $7 and Aptiv slipped 0.6% to $44.79, while the Global X Autonomous & Electric Vehicles ETF rose 0.1%. The article explains that QNX earns licensing royalties as vehicle programs enter production, whereas Mobileye and Aptiv carry heavier hardware content. The key question now is whether the backlog converts into royalty revenue on schedule, which depends on when automakers move programs into production.

- TeraWulf Jumps 8% as CEO Says Power Demand Remains ‘Extremely Strong’; Applied Digital Surges 9%, IREN Climbs 6%
TeraWulf shares rose 8% to $12.95 in afternoon trading after CEO Paul B. Prager wrote on X that demand for power “remains extremely strong,” that the company’s site is “energized” to meet it, and that shareholders would not be diluted. He said customers would likely need outside funding but TeraWulf would not take on that financial risk, and that the next data center building at Lake Mariner, leased to Fluidstack, is on track for delivery this quarter. Applied Digital rose 9% to $21.17 and IREN climbed 6% to $28.11, while the CoinShares Bitcoin Mining and Digital Power ETF gained 3% to $32.43 against a 0.6% rise in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. The article links the rally to power scarcity, including Elon Musk’s comment on the earnings call that the infrastructure to supply and cool electrical equipment is “somewhat of a limiting factor” for superintelligence. The next test for TeraWulf is whether the Lake Mariner building is delivered on schedule this quarter.
- Why Pegasystems Stock Dropped After Earnings
Pegasystems shares slipped 3.6% by 1:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday after the company reported Q3 results well below analyst forecasts. Analysts expected $0.49 per share on $421.8 million in sales, but Pegasystems earned $0.35 per share on a non-GAAP basis with sales below $393.4 million, and GAAP earnings were only $0.08 per share. Sales grew 3% year over year, GAAP profit fell 68%, and annual contract value rose 6%, which CEO Alan Trefler and CFO Ken Stillwell cited as grounds for confidence. The article argues free cash flow matters more to investors: the company generated $490 million last year and is running at about $438 million annualized, and Stillwell projects $700 million or more by 2028. The article calculates that this would imply near-term free cash flow growth north of 25%.
- Salesforce (CRM) vs Oracle (ORCL): Which Is a Better Stock to Buy?
Salesforce closed at $242.45 on October 19 and gained 30.2% over six months, versus 8.7% for the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, while Oracle closed at $129.59 after losing more than a quarter of its value over the same period. The article describes Salesforce’s customer records and workflows as hard to replace, with $14.4 billion of free cash flow in its last fiscal year, but notes slow growth, with revenue up 10.80% last quarter, and a deal announced October 20 to buy Braze for $5.66 billion. Its seat-based pricing could be a risk if AI agents take on work that staff used to do. Oracle grew revenue 29.60% last quarter at a 35.63% operating margin, supported by database support contracts, but its build-out of AI computing capacity carries debt equal to 251.72% of equity and levered free cash flow of negative $45.85 billion over the past year. The article adds that renting computing capacity earns a thinner margin than licensing software.
- Cold Water: Tesla and SpaceX Merger “Won’t Add Much Value” per Gary Black
Gary Black, managing partner of The Future Fund, argues that an all-stock Tesla–SpaceX deal at about $420 per Tesla share, roughly 10% above the current price, would add little value. Tesla trades at 191.6x forward earnings, well above its three-year average of 135.1x and above SpaceX's multiple, so the combined company would likely be valued at SpaceX's lower level. Tesla's normalized EPS fell from $3.12 in fiscal 2023 to $1.66 in fiscal 2025, with analysts expecting $2.17 in fiscal 2027. Musk said special committees at both companies are studying the idea and that he thinks it would be a good idea, but no terms have been agreed.
