- Progress on VND 2,806 billion industrial park project, creating tens of thousands of jobs, located in Vietnam's youngest centrally run city
The Song Mai – Nghĩa Trung industrial park project in Bắc Ninh covers 197.1 hectares with total investment of VND 2,806 billion and broke ground in August 2025. By 11 September, site clearance and technical infrastructure for 50 hectares in phase 1 were complete, along with a wastewater treatment system with capacity of 6,000 cubic metres per day. The project still faces difficulties clearing the remaining land, as some households have not agreed to compensation plans, and land-use right certificates for the completed 50 hectares remain unresolved, which hampers attracting secondary investors. Bắc Ninh city Party Secretary Nguyễn Hồng Thái urged an eco-friendly, circular development model, prioritizing high-tech firms and rooftop solar power, and faster site clearance. Once operational, the park is expected to create tens of thousands of jobs.

- 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.
