Vietnam's auto industry has long been stuck in a chicken-and-egg dilemma: low output discourages suppliers from investing, while a weak supporting industry keeps costs high. The article argues that VinFast's growing output could create the stable demand suppliers have been waiting for. VinFast delivered 196,919 electric vehicles globally in 2025, up 102%, including 46,977 VF 3s, and in the first nine months of the year it delivered 42,272 VF 3s and 40,018 Limo Green vehicles in Vietnam alone. The company said it added 55 domestic suppliers and localized 108 component groups in one year, and opened supply opportunities for its plants in India and Indonesia. However, suppliers still need stable, long-term orders, as well as competitive quality, cost and logistics, before they can commit to new investment.

- Supplying pallets, trolleys, steel cages... to a Vingroup company, a Vietnamese business reports revenue nearly doubling and plans two more factories next year
CNC Hà Nội, which supplies pallets, packaging crates, trolleys and steel cages, reported revenue of over 225 billion VND in the first nine months of 2026, about double the more than 110 billion VND recorded in 2025. It became a direct supplier to VinFast in 2025, having supplied the automaker indirectly through its suppliers since 2017. Its workforce has also nearly doubled, and it produced nearly 100,000 packages in the first nine months. The company plans to open two more factories in Hanoi and Hung Yen in 2027 if customer demand is strong enough, and hopes to supply VinFast's overseas plants in Indonesia and India, though these are expectations rather than confirmed orders.
- Teaming up with billionaire Phạm Nhật Vượng, Vietnamese firm secures hundreds of millions in orders to build automated production lines for VinFast, now eyeing India and Indonesia
Before 2018, Weldcom mainly supplied equipment and metal fabrication services. It has partnered with VinFast since 2018 and was the first Vietnamese contractor to design, install and commission an electric motorcycle production line. In Hải Phòng it rebuilt a car body-shop line with over 200 robots, then took on a similar role in Hà Tĩnh and worked on VinFast projects in India and Indonesia. From 2018 to end-2025, contracts signed with VinFast exceeded USD 200 million, and total company revenue ranged from about VND 3,000–4,000 billion, of which VinFast projects accounted for roughly 50–60%. The company is also approaching large Indian automakers such as Mahindra and Tata to diversify beyond the VinFast ecosystem.
- Vietnam's Richest Engineer Loses Over $1 Billion in Just Hours
According to Forbes data as of October 19, Vietnamese billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong lost about $1.3 billion in just hours but remains Vietnam's richest person with $32.5 billion, ranking 68th globally. The main driver was a drop of more than 3.7% in Vingroup (VIC) shares to 207,000 dong, their lowest in nearly two months and about 19% below their September 4 peak. His wealth is mainly tied to Vingroup, VinFast (VFS) and LPBank (LPB) shares: he directly holds 703.8 million VIC shares (9.04%), and his investment firm VIG owns 32.5% of Vingroup and 32.9% of VinFast. Vingroup's market capitalization of 1.6 quadrillion dong keeps it the most valuable company on Vietnam's stock market, and TIME ranked it 340th in its World's Best Companies 2026 list, up nearly 500 places from 2025 and the only Vietnamese company on the list.
- Green SM partners with Elife to bring electric ride-hailing service to global network
Green SM and B2B super-app platform Elife signed a memorandum of understanding to integrate Green SM’s electric ride-hailing service into Elife’s global network, so partners can offer it directly within their own apps. The companies plan to roll out the integration in Southeast Asia, Europe and the US, alongside joint promotions for travellers. Elife’s partner network reaches about 100 million monthly active users, including many international visitors to Vietnam. Market research firm Mordor Intelligence projects the global electric taxi market to grow from USD 29.54 billion in 2025 to USD 110.56 billion by 2031. Since launching in Vietnam in 2023, Green SM has completed about 850 million trips and helped cut more than 800,000 tonnes of carbon emissions.
- Apple’s iPhone Duo Sold Out In Minutes. The Last Time Apple Reinvented The Phone, One Apple Supplier’s Stock Soared About 1,200% In A Decade
Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, sold out within minutes of its worldwide preorders opening on Oct. 16, but buyers who ordered more than an hour later face a delay of nearly three months, according to Korea JoongAng Daily, which puts the U.S. starting price at $1,999. One unnamed supply-chain source said Foxconn's final-assembly yield was just above 60% heading into late September, against the 90%-plus rate Apple typically expects, and the hinge, which holds more than 100 parts, is cited as a constraint. Analyst Jeff Pu cut his 2026 shipment estimate from 7 million to 6 million, while reported forecasts range from about 6 million to 10 million units. The article also recalls that Skyworks Solutions, identified as the power-amplifier supplier of the original iPhone, rose about 1,200% over a decade, though those figures cover price only.

- Nscale in talks for $45 billion Anthropic AI deal as IPO looms
Nscale is in talks to secure a computing deal worth about $45 billion with Anthropic, according to Bloomberg News, which could strengthen the Nvidia-backed data center developer's bid for a roughly $30 billion valuation in its planned IPO. The proposed agreement would cover a second building at Nscale's Monarch campus in West Virginia, delivering 460 megawatts of capacity powered by Nvidia's Vera Rubin chips, and could be finalized within days, though terms could still change. Anthropic already has infrastructure agreements with Nscale worth as much as $44.6 billion, according to Nscale's IPO filing, and holds a right of first refusal on the campus's anticipated third building. Investors are scrutinizing AI infrastructure economics, and Nscale faces questions similar to CoreWeave's about financing, execution and converting its backlog into cash flow, since its contracts are future commitments rather than collected cash. Representatives for Nscale and Anthropic declined to comment.
- Trump says he'd meet with Putin and Xi, criticizes Zelenskyy
President Donald Trump said he would meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss ending the Ukraine war, and suggested such a meeting could happen without Zelenskyy present. He said Russia and China have done 'very little' to help Tehran, which has been accused of receiving their support in its military efforts against the U.S. Trump also criticized Zelenskyy's reaction to his decision to waive new sanctions against Russia, saying Zelenskyy 'doesn't know what he's talking about' and should have settled the war long ago. He added that 'it's time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine,' echoing his earlier call for Kyiv to get a new president.
- Market participants weigh in on SEC’s proposed crypto regulations
The SEC will close public comment on its “Regulation Crypto Assets” proposal, first introduced in August, on Tuesday. Over the 60-day period, the agency received about 140 comments on a proposed safe harbor that would keep token issuers from being treated as investment contracts, along with exemptions for offerings up to a set amount. The MiCA Crypto Alliance largely supported the proposed disclosure changes but asked the SEC to better define crypto-specific concepts and data structures. SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci also backed the rules, calling them a return to the Commission’s proper role, though he did not mention Congress’s inaction on the CLARITY Act. Some legal experts warn the rules could be overturned more easily than an act of Congress, and both the SEC and the CFTC remain understaffed at the leadership level.
- Why Lockheed Martin May Be an Underrated Stock to Buy Right Now
The article argues that Lockheed Martin (LMT) can withstand market volatility, with its stock up about 15% this year while still offering good value. In 2022, when the market fell, LMT’s total return including dividends was over 40%, compared with a negative 18% for the S&P 500, helped by its close ties to the U.S. government and strong defense spending. In the quarter ended June 28, revenue reached $20.1 billion, up 11% year over year. The stock trades at a forward P/E of about 16, below the S&P 500’s more than 19, and its dividend yields 2.6% versus the index’s roughly 1%. The company has raised its dividend for 24 consecutive years, which the article cites as a reason to hold the stock long term.
- Canadian dollar notches nearly four - week high on BoC rate hike bets
The Canadian dollar held most of its gains against the US dollar on Monday, as hawkish remarks from Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem drew more attention than domestic inflation data. The loonie traded 0.3% higher at 1.4095 per US dollar, near its strongest intraday level since September 23. Macklem said the BoC expects to raise its quarterly inflation forecast significantly this month because of persistently high oil and petroleum prices. Swap market data showed about an 80% chance of a BoC rate hike on October 28, up from 30% on Friday, while the benchmark rate has stayed at 2.25% since last October. Canadian bond yields rose across the curve, with the 10-year up 11.1 basis points to 3.940%, as investors also awaited a nonbinding Alberta referendum on secession.
- Homebuilder Sentiment Drops To Lowest Level Since 2012
Builder confidence has fallen to its lowest level since 2012, according to the NAHB and Wells Fargo Housing Market Index. Rising mortgage rates and higher energy and material costs have pushed sentiment to a 14-year low, keeping many buyers on the sidelines. The headline index rose one point to 38, still well below the breakeven level of 50, with affordability cited as a top concern for both buyers and builders. Builders also face elevated land, labor and construction costs, while NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz pointed to global events and energy prices as headwinds. He said efforts to ease regulatory burdens could still help improve long-term housing supply.
