Kosy Corporation's shares (KOS) hit the daily floor after falling 6.95% to 7,760 dong on October 15, marking the 19th consecutive limit-down session. In just over a month, the stock has lost about 77%, and its market capitalization has shrunk to about 1,680 billion dong. Liquidity is thin: only 50,700 shares matched, while 76 million shares (35% of the company) were offered at the floor price with no buyers. Forced sales by brokers hit entities linked to Chairman Nguyen Viet Cuong, including Cuong himself, totaling over 1.32 million KOS shares in early October. Meanwhile, Cuong's sister-in-law Hoang Thi Yen has registered to buy 8 million shares from October 15 to November 13. Kosy attributes the pressure to weak market conditions, falling liquidity and brokers cutting margin lending, and says its core business is running as planned. In the first half of 2026, consolidated net revenue reached nearly 722.7 billion dong (up over 9%) and after-tax profit reached about 15.4 billion dong (up about 121%), roughly 12.8% of the full-year target of 120 billion dong.

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.
