Foreign investors net sold more than VND 770 billion today, extending a 16-session selling streak with a total outflow of about VND 22,800 billion (US$900 million), the longest such run since 2024. Year to date, they have withdrawn VND 116,000 billion (US$4.5 billion), close to the record US$5.1 billion sold across the market last year, and their ownership on the HCMC exchange has fallen to about 13% from 15% a year earlier. Experts attribute the outflows mainly to opportunity costs and global capital shifting toward markets with stronger earnings growth, along with active funds taking profits to rebalance after buying ahead of the market upgrade. The VN-Index fell for six straight sessions to close at 1,704 points, and some analysts warn it could slip toward the 1,680 zone. Observers expect roughly US$2.7 billion in passive FTSE Russell-tracking inflows to be disbursed next year, which could halt the outflow trend.

- Over VND 11,300 billion flows into FPT tech park and SCEX digital asset exchange
Over October 14–15, FPT broke ground on its Digital Technology Building 01 in Hanoi, with total investment of more than VND 1,311 billion, scheduled for completion in 12 months as part of a 194.3-hectare digital technology park. At the same time, the Sacom digital asset exchange (SCEX) completed a doubling of its charter capital from VND 5,000 billion to VND 10,000 billion, all paid in cash by domestic shareholders. Under the government's five-year pilot framework, VND 10,000 billion is the minimum charter capital needed to operate a digital asset exchange, and SCEX is the third company in Vietnam to reach that threshold. According to blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis, the value of crypto-asset transactions by users in Vietnam reached $122.2 billion from July 2025 to June 2026, second in Southeast Asia after Singapore. The Ministry of Finance aims to select no more than five companies for the pilot.
- FPT Unexpectedly Opens Office in 'City of a Thousand Minarets', Reveals Plan to Recruit Over 500 Engineers
FPT has opened its first office in Cairo, Egypt, at Cairo Festival City, to expand its capacity to serve Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The office is expected to employ about 200 engineers in its first two years and more than 500 over the long term, drawing on Egypt's young tech workforce: according to ITIDA, the country produces over 667,000 university graduates a year, 37% of them in STEM fields. Gartner expects IT spending in the Middle East and North Africa to reach $169 billion in 2026, up 8.9% from the previous year. The office will link with FPT units in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Vietnam, focusing on AI, data analytics, cloud, SAP/ERP and embedded software for banking, finance, insurance, telecom and logistics.

- FPT Shareholders' Bitter Streak: 3 Weeks Without a Green Session as Shares Hit 3-Year Low
FPT shares have not closed in the green since September 23, and on October 13 they fell 1.4% to 56,300 dong, their lowest close since early November 2023, as foreign investors net sold about 107 billion dong. Since the last gain on September 22, the stock has lost 10,300 dong per share, nearly 16%, cutting market capitalization by more than 19,400 billion dong to about 106,200 billion dong. Year to date, foreign investors have net sold about 188 million shares worth over 15,200 billion dong, leaving foreign room near 21%. BSC warns FPT could fail to meet the criteria to remain in the VN-Diamond basket if foreign ownership does not improve. Meanwhile, pre-tax profit for the first 8 months rose 17.5% to 7,648 billion dong, a contrast with the share price trend.
- Vietnam's semiconductor exports grow nearly 32% a year
According to a report by Frost & Sullivan and FedEx, Vietnam's semiconductor exports grew at an average of 31.8% per year over 2006-2025, the fastest among the 8 economies compared. Its base is still small: by 2025 Vietnam ranked 7th in semiconductor export value, just above Thailand, while Taiwan led with $170 billion. Vietnam's strengths include its emerging role in semiconductor assembly and testing (OSAT), a strong electronics manufacturing base, inflows of international investment, and cost and skilled-labor advantages. The report says demand from AI, high-performance computing and electric vehicles is driving chip production, and global semiconductor revenue reached $702 billion in the first half of the year.

- Tesla Stock vs. the S&P 500: Which Investment Wins Through 2030?
The article argues Tesla trades at roughly 203 times this year's expected earnings and 13 times expected sales, a valuation that looks very expensive given gross margin pressure and a slower-than-expected robotaxi rollout. The flying Roadster, slated for production in 2028, is unlikely to make a meaningful sales or earnings contribution before 2030. The author thinks a Tesla-SpaceX merger by the end of the decade, likely an all-stock deal, is more likely than not and would be a key factor in how Tesla stock performs against the S&P 500 through 2030.
- SpaceX surprises Wall Street with Oct. 20 earnings date — here's why
SpaceX (SPCX) will release earnings on Oct. 20 after the market close, a surprise since earnings dates are usually shared weeks in advance. Evercore ISI analyst Kutgun Maral says possible reasons include putting updated financials on record before new financing or getting ahead of major lock-up releases, though scheduling is also possible. Reuters reported SpaceX is seeking $40 billion in financing to buy advanced Nvidia AI chips, including about $10 billion in bank loans and $30 billion in investment-grade debt, with Apollo expected to lead. The lock-up schedule includes 1.30 billion shares two days after earnings, 329 million on 10/24, and a remaining 857 million tranche of the 180-day group.
- AEP Partners with Amazon and X-energy to Explore Advanced Nuclear Energy in Indiana
American Electric Power (AEP) has announced a joint development agreement with X-energy to evaluate the feasibility of a 960-megawatt advanced nuclear project at a former coal plant site in Sullivan County, Indiana. Amazon is supporting development through a funding agreement. If the project reaches a final investment decision and is built, Amazon intends to buy the power under a long-term contract covering the facility's costs and operations. The initial project would include 12 Xe-100 units of 80 MW each, and the companies say it could create jobs, expand the local tax base and strengthen the grid for more than 60 years. AEP says the agreements include the financial safeguards it considers essential for any nuclear project to move forward.
