Quoc Cuong Gia Lai (QCG) has pushed its market capitalization above 3,000 billion VND after two consecutive ceiling-price sessions; on Oct. 15 the stock hit the 11,000 VND limit, its highest in over a month, with no sellers and ceiling buy orders in the hundreds of thousands. The rally followed Nguyen Thi Nhu Loan's return as CEO, replacing Nguyen Quoc Cuong, after an appellate verdict deemed her sentence already served. In the first half of 2026, revenue fell to about 80 billion VND, roughly a third of the prior-year level, but after-tax profit of over 181 billion VND (18 times higher) came mainly from liquidating and selling a hydropower plant. Revenue remains far below the 2,403 billion VND full-year plan, and Cuong acknowledged that results have not met shareholder expectations, while management called 2026–2028 a pivotal restructuring period.

- 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.

X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site. Under the joint development agreement, Amazon would provide development funding and commit to a long-term power purchase.

The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
