- First Private Bank to Exceed VND 200,000 Billion in Owners' Equity
VPBank has become the first private bank to surpass VND 200,000 billion in owners' equity, reaching VND 200,078 billion in its Q3/2026 financial report, up VND 8,863 billion in the quarter alone and nearly VND 19,800 billion since the start of the year. Vietcombank passed this level first in the system in 2025, VietinBank reached VND 200,214 billion as of June 30, 2026, and Techcombank stood at VND 197,325 billion at the end of Q3. The growth of the two private banks comes mainly from retained profits: in the first nine months of 2026, VPBank's pre-tax profit was nearly VND 30,000 billion, up about 47%, while Techcombank's reached VND 28,915 billion, up 23.7%. The article notes that charter capital makes up only about 36% and 40% of owners' equity at Techcombank and VPBank, and that stock dividends do not increase owners' equity.
- Industry Profits Plunge and Investors Lose Money, Yet Securities Firms Earn Heavily From Lending
Industry-wide profit for securities firms in Q3/2026 fell 42% year on year to about VND 11,000 billion, while average matched trading value on HoSE dropped to VND 13,000-14,000 billion per session, less than half of last year's level. In contrast, interest income from lending and receivables across the industry reached a record VND 12,300 billion, up 34% year on year and rising for 11 consecutive quarters. The main drivers were margin lending outstanding of VND 455,000 billion, of which VND 440,000 billion was margin, the highest ever, along with high interest rates. The article notes that this is gross income rather than net income, since firms still bear funding costs for the lending business, and that gains are uneven, with firms backed by banks such as TCBS, VPBankS and ACBS leading.
- Stock Market Midday, Oct. 21: Tech Gains Lift Nasdaq as SpaceX Soars
As of 11:41 AM ET, the Nasdaq Composite rose 1.09% to 26,717 on renewed optimism around AI, while the S&P 500 gained 0.52% to 7,752 as tech gains offset telecom weakness. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.29% to 52,647 on positive corporate reports. Gold was up 0.18% at $4,132.42, and the 10-Year Treasury yield slipped to 5.11%. SpaceX surged over 10% after its quarterly results boosted AI sentiment, lifting Dell Technologies, which rose 6% in early trading.
- Palantir Rises 4% as Software Stocks Rally; ServiceNow Gains 3%, Salesforce Holds Flat
Palantir shares rose 4% to $199.41 in afternoon trading, leading a broad software rally as buyers favored AI platform names. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software ETF gained 2% to $108.98 and the Invesco QQQ Trust rose 1.3% to $726.83, while ServiceNow climbed 3% to $153.33 and Salesforce slipped 0.2% to $242.07. On October 19, Knox Systems announced a partnership with Palantir to bring commercial software into the federal government's most tightly secured cloud environments, but neither company disclosed financial terms, and the article says it is unclear whether this news is behind the stock's gain. The article also points to Palantir's steep valuation as a source of doubt about the rally's staying power, and says the third-quarter 2026 report will test whether its government growth holds up.

Coinbase remains down 21% year to date, while Circle is up 14%.
- Apple vs. SK hynix: Which Tech Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
The article compares Apple (AAPL) and SK Hynix (SKHY). Apple sells consumer hardware such as the iPhone and Mac alongside a high-margin Services segment, while SK Hynix makes DRAM and NAND memory chips for data centers and AI processing in a cyclical market. On a trailing-12-month basis through Q2 2026, Apple reported revenue of $466 billion, up about 14%, net income of roughly $129 billion, free cash flow of nearly $137 billion, and a debt-to-equity ratio near 0.8x. SK Hynix reported TTM revenue of about $129 billion, more than double the prior-year period, net income of nearly $109 billion, free cash flow of about $60 billion, and a debt-to-equity ratio around 0.1x. The article says SK Hynix looks much cheaper but carries greater cyclical risk, and the author says he would rather buy Apple heading into 2027, noting Apple trades at 35 times forward earnings estimates.
