- Intercontinental Exchange (ICE): A High-Quality Compounder with Multiple Growth Drivers
Upslope Capital Management added Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE:ICE) as a new position in its third-quarter 2026 investor letter, citing a valuation decline tied to noise around perpetual futures and market disdain for economically defensive businesses. ICE closed at $157.69 on October 21, 2026, with a market capitalization of $88.53 billion and a 52-week range of $121.79 to $176.05. According to the letter, about 55% of net revenue comes from Exchanges, 25% from Fixed Income & Data Services and 20% from Mortgage Tech, with roughly 35% of revenue generated outside the U.S., mostly in Europe. The Mortgage Tech segment, which touches about 90% of U.S. mortgages, is described as operating in trough-like conditions, though roughly 45% of its revenue comes from origination and closing products that could benefit from a housing recovery.

Bank stocks made up 8 of the 10 most net-bought stocks by funds in September, with net buying of about VND 1,034 billion, mainly in VPB, MBB and ACB, marking the second consecutive month of net buying.

Wedgewood Partners reported that its Wedgewood Composite returned 2.5% net in the third quarter of 2026, compared with 2.3% for the S&P 500 and 0.9% for the Russell 1000 Growth. In its investor letter, the firm named Amazon a leading contributor, citing AWS revenue growth accelerating to 37% from 17% a year earlier and a 63% rise in the segment's operating income. AWS backlog of around $500 billion is more than double last year's level and up 37% from 90 days earlier, and Wedgewood said this demand supports a plan to double AWS capacity from circa 2025 levels by 2027.

- Not Stocks or Real Estate, This Is the First Group of Shares to Benefit as Interest Rates Fall
Mr. Đỗ Bảo Ngọc, General Director of Kirin Securities (CSI), says falling interest rates will affect sectors differently. Construction and infrastructure construction stand to benefit directly from lower borrowing costs and better disbursement progress, while real estate and securities benefit indirectly and later. Securities shares are notable because they fell sharply during the rate-hike period, but the gains become clear only when liquidity improves and capital flows back. Banks may face pressure on net interest margin (NIM) when they cut lending rates to support businesses, although overall bank profits do not necessarily fall by the same amount.
- A High-Profile Stock Faces Simultaneous Net Selling by 16 Funds
HPG remained on the net-selling list for a fourth consecutive month, with 16 funds net selling about 8.3 million shares in September 2026, mainly from PYN Elite, DCDS, DCDE and LVF, according to FiinGroup. Banking was the only sector net bought above VND 1,000 billion (about VND 1,034 billion), while real estate saw net selling of about VND 2,212 billion and financial services about VND 1,347 billion. Funds recorded net outflows of VND 8,600 billion in Q3, the seventh consecutive quarter of withdrawals, bringing nine-month outflows to nearly VND 31,700 billion, up 34.2% year on year. The average return of equity funds fell 6% in Q3, with 87 of 88 funds posting negative results.
- Gloomy market: investor cash on securities accounts falls to a three-year low
Investor deposits at securities companies were estimated at about VND 72,000 billion at end-Q3 2026, down over 12% from the previous quarter and the lowest since end-Q2 2023, marking the second straight quarterly decline. Compared with a record of about VND 131,000 billion at end-Q3 2025, balances have shrunk by about VND 59,000 billion, or roughly 45%. The decline is broad: VPS still leads with VND 12,834 billion but fell 11% in the quarter, TCBS dropped more than 31% to VND 6,225 billion, and SSI stands at VND 5,572 billion, while Vietcap rose over 122% to VND 5,067 billion. Average matched trading value on HoSE was only about VND 14,000 billion per session, down about 23% from the previous quarter and 63% year on year, reflecting more cautious investor sentiment.
- Q3 2026 securities firm update: big names report "backward" profits, two losses of hundreds of billions emerge in the sector

Meanwhile, HDS's quarterly profit more than tripled year on year, ABS rose 552%, and VIX's profit plunged nearly 94% to about VND 192 billion.

- A Key Indicator Hints at the Possibility of VN-Index Entering a “New Wave”
The State Bank of Vietnam on October 18 asked credit institutions to cut lending rates for priority sectors, and several commercial banks have also cut deposit and lending rates, raising hopes that capital costs will ease. However, Mr. Đỗ Bảo Ngọc, General Director of Kirin Securities (CSI), says a single rate cut is not enough to move money significantly, and the downtrend must be sustained over the medium term. Liquidity is the most important indicator to watch; continued rate cuts alongside stronger trading value in Q4 or early Q1 next year would be a clearer sign that money is returning. Some experts say a sustained uptrend requires liquidity above VND 20,000 billion per session and large-cap stocks leading, conditions not yet met even though P/E and P/B have fallen to low levels. The article argues investors need not wait for VN-Index to break out to find opportunities, but a sharp stock decline alone is not reason enough to buy.
- A Vietnamese Woman Has Just Added More Than VND 4,000 Billion to Her Fortune
