Mr. Bùi Văn Huy, General Director of FIDT, says the recent rebound in the VN-Index has been driven largely by Vingroup-related stocks, with VIC and VHM alone adding over 21 points to the index on the 22/10 session. Cash flow remains weak, liquidity has not surged, foreign investors are net sellers and interest rates are still high, so the index's gains do not yet mean overall market health has fully recovered. For Q4, he suggests buying on market corrections rather than rushing, deploying capital gradually, limiting margin use, favoring companies with solid finances and avoiding chasing overheated blue chips. Sectors he says investors may watch include infrastructure, public investment, energy and green transition, and companies benefiting from preferential loans, while technology and digital transformation still face pressure from the global AI wave. He also stresses monitoring inflation, exchange rates and Fed policy, and reducing stock exposure if inflation gets out of control or interest rates turn upward.

- Notable Stocks to Watch at Market Open, Oct. 23
The digest reports that foreign investors net bought over 300 billion VND for a second straight session after an extended selling streak, though net foreign flows since early October remain negative by more than 6 trillion VND. VN-Index rose 46.7 points in the Oct. 21 session, driven mainly by limit-up gains in Vingroup-linked stocks. Margin lending by securities firms reached a record 463 trillion VND at the end of Q3 2026, up 2% from the previous quarter. The State Securities Commission penalized three companies listed on UPCoM over Oct. 19–20, 2026. The piece also notes that the central counterparty (CCP) clearing mechanism is expected from Q1 2027, prompting brokers to speed up their procedures.
- Large cash flows return, stock market posts strongest gain in over half a year
The VN-Index jumped 46.7 points, or 2.76%, to 1,738 points, its strongest gain since April 8. Vingroup-linked stocks VIC, VHM and VRE hit the daily limit and contributed about 35 points, while 246 stocks rose and 16 hit the ceiling on HoSE. Trading value reached nearly 18,200 billion VND, up about 43% from the 20-session average. Foreign investors ended a 20-session selling streak with net buying of about 160 billion VND, led by TCB, MSN and VIC, while FPT, VCB and ACB saw net selling. The article cautions that the index's gain depends heavily on Vingroup stocks.
- VN-Index Falls to Two-Month Low
VN-Index fell for four straight sessions on selling pressure in Vingroup-linked stocks, at one point dipping below 1,720 points to its lowest level since late July, before dip-buying pulled it back near that level. Four Vingroup stocks closed below the reference price, with VIC dragging the index down more than 10 points and VHM nearly 4 points. Oil and gas stocks were the weakest sector after oil prices fell following Trump's announcement that Russia and Ukraine agreed to halt attacks on each other's energy infrastructure; PLX and OIL each dropped about 3%, while steelmaker NKG closed up 6.9%. Foreign investors extended net selling to 14 consecutive sessions, and liquidity was about half of the previous week's final session. MB Securities' research team said October seasonality weighs on the market and advised investors to favor individual stocks with third-quarter profit growth from core operations.
- Expert view: VN-Index has formed a short-term bottom, but this risk needs attention
VN-Index fell sharply in the first two sessions of the 19-23/10 week, at one point dropping to the 1,670-point area, before rebounding on broader buying late in the week to finish up 68.24 points (4%) at 1,774.15. Foreign investors net bought in 2 mid-week sessions but were still net sellers of about VND 969 billion over the five sessions. Mr. Bui Van Huy, CEO of FIDT, believes the market has likely formed a short-term bottom, citing the State Bank's request that banks cut deposit rates for terms of 6 months or longer by at least 0.5% per year and lower lending rates for priority sectors by 1.5-2% per year, along with a P/E excluding Vingroup of below or around 10 times. He cautions, however, that the bottom is not yet sustainable given risks from the Fed, global inflation and domestic inflation (September CPI up more than 5% year on year). He suggests investors consider buying in stages on market pullbacks, limit margin use and watch infrastructure and public investment groups.
- Dragon Capital Reveals a Surprising Fact Behind the VN-Index's Moves
Dragon Capital says valuations already reflect most of the cost-of-capital risk, even as Vietnam's economy grew nearly 10% in Q3 2026. In September, the VN-Index fell 2.9% in USD terms and its year-to-date gain narrowed to 2%, as foreign investors net sold a further 187 million USD on HoSE. The 12-month deposit rate for institutional clients rose to 7.4% in mid-September, 2.4 percentage points higher than a year earlier, as banks competed for long-term funding. VND deposit mobilization grew 11.7% year to date, outpacing 10.1% credit growth, an early sign that rate pressure could ease as long-term deposit rates peak. However, core inflation rose to 4.5% and headline CPI to 5.1%, so the fund sees targeted support measures as more appropriate than broad monetary easing.
- A Fund Unexpectedly Sells Out Its Largest Holding in September
The SSI Sustainable Competitive Advantage Fund (SSI-SCA) exited its Vingroup (VIC) stake in September, even though the stock was its largest holding at the end of August at nearly 11%. As of end-September, the fund's net asset value was close to VND 1,300 billion, with stocks making up 78.62% of assets and cash rising to 21%, versus a monthly average of about 10%. The fund fell 3.1% in September, less than the 3.5% drop in the VN-Index. SSI-SCA attributed market pressure to rising global bond yields, high oil prices, weakening domestic liquidity and net foreign selling of about US$179 million. Financials remain the largest sector, with four of the fund's top five holdings being bank stocks.

- Not Nvidia. Not Microsoft. This "Magnificent Seven" Stock Is the Cheapest Right Now.
The article argues Alphabet is the cheapest Magnificent Seven stock, trading at just over 16 times this year's analyst-projected earnings of $20.59 per share. That projection includes a one-time $6.26-per-share second-quarter accounting gain tied to its investments in SpaceX and Anthropic; without it, EPS would be $14.33 and P/E a little above 23. By comparison, Nvidia's 2026 P/E is 24, Microsoft's is 27 on $19.76 EPS, and Amazon is about 27 times excluding its Anthropic gain, while Nvidia is 14 times its expected 2027 EPS of $15.80. The author argues Alphabet's position is more resilient, citing search advertising as a steady cash generator, Google Cloud's Q2 revenue up 82%, and a cloud contracted backlog of $514 billion.
- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Reaffirms His $4 Trillion Projection for AI Spending. Here's Why That Makes Nvidia a Screaming Buy Now.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reaffirmed his projection that global data center capital expenditure could reach up to $4 trillion annually by 2030, with a floor of $3 trillion. The big five AI hyperscalers alone are expected to spend nearly $800 billion this year, and the author estimates total data center capex at around $1 trillion this year. If the market triples to quadruples by 2030 and Nvidia keeps its market share, its revenue could reach $1.2 to $1.6 trillion, starting from analysts' estimate of $412 billion for this year. At a 50% profit margin and 30 times earnings, its market cap could be $18 to $24 trillion, versus about $5.4 trillion now; the author stresses this is not a forecast of such growth and calls Nvidia one of the most attractive stocks in the market right now.
- 'The world's super company': Wall Street weighs SpaceX earnings, company's likely Tesla tie-up
Wall Street analysts are weighing SpaceX (SPCX) as a potentially giant company, especially with a possible tie-up with Tesla (TSLA). Elon Musk, CEO of both firms, projects SpaceX's annual recurring revenue by end-2027 at between 500 billion USD and 1 trillion USD. Its booming AI compute business has fueled bets that SpaceX could become a fifth hyperscaler alongside Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon. RBC Capital Markets says Tesla's planned Terafab chip production is a way to bypass Nvidia and TSMC, while Canaccord Genuity raised its Tesla price target to 442 USD from 410 USD on a merger-based view. JPMorgan more than doubled its SpaceX price target to 500 USD, with shares trading at 146 USD on Friday.
- Retirees Will Get a 3.6% Social Security Raise in 2027 After Getting 2.8% This Year. Here's the Dollar Difference.
The Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2027 was announced at 3.6%, higher than this year's 2.8%, reflecting recent higher inflation. The 2.8% increase raised a $2,010 monthly benefit by about $56 to $2,066, while the average monthly benefit was $2,089 as of September. The article notes COLAs are based on the CPI-W, which tracks workers rather than retirees, while the CPI-E, which weights healthcare and housing more heavily, would be a better measure for retirees. It also warns that Social Security's surplus is running out, with worker taxes projected to cover only about 78% of benefits around 2032, and the author stresses that retirees should save and invest for retirement on their own.
- Meta Just Dropped 9% in a Week. Is It Time to Sell, or Load Up?
Meta stock fell about 9% over the past week, mostly after its third-quarter report: revenue rose 26% to 64.6 billion USD, but free cash flow was negative at 2.12 billion USD as capex reached 34.91 billion USD, above operating cash flow of 32.79 billion USD. Meta raised the floor of its 2026 capex range to 135 billion USD, and a New Mexico court ordered it to pay a 25 billion USD fine over the Cambridge Analytica scandal; the company says it will appeal and holds 82.5 billion USD in cash. The stock trades at about 20x forward earnings, below its five-year average of 21x. The author argues investors could buy more if they can accept dilution from the non-voting Class C stock arriving in 2027. The consensus target of 844 USD is about 31% above Friday's close.
