Vietnam's chrysanthemum exports to Japan reached US$30.45 million in the first 8 months of the year, nearly VND 800 billion, making it the top earner among 20 tracked products with about 17.6% of the group's US$173 million total. Exports of the item were US$43.6 million in 2025, up 7.01% year on year. Japan imported about 9,097 tonnes of Vietnamese chrysanthemums in 2024, up 12.1%, and nearly 8,700 tonnes in the first 11 months of 2025, with demand for ceremonial use creating stable outlets and Lâm Đồng serving as the main production hub. Exporters must meet Japan's plant quarantine rules, under which imported cut flowers need a phytosanitary certificate issued by the exporting country's authority unless exempt.

CTCP Chứng khoán Việt Thành (VTS) posted Q3 operating revenue of over 7.2 billion VND, down 83% year on year, and its pre-tax profit swung from a 29 billion VND profit to a loss of nearly 10 billion VND, mainly due to a sharp drop in proprietary trading and losses of over 11.8 billion VND on sales of FVTPL financial assets.

By contrast, Chứng khoán Ngân hàng Public Việt Nam (PBSV) recorded Q3 revenue of over 30 billion VND, up nearly 25%, and pre-tax profit of nearly 14 billion VND, up 59%, driven by a 71% rise in interest income from loans and receivables.

- Warren Buffett's Successor, Greg Abel, Purchased Nearly $4.8 Billion of the Oracle of Omaha's Favorite Stock This Year -- and He Likely Just Spent Several Billion More
Greg Abel took over day-to-day control of Berkshire Hathaway and its $356 billion portfolio when Warren Buffett retired at the end of the year. In the first quarter, Abel sold 16 stocks, reduced six others and added to Alphabet, now Berkshire's No. 3 holding. The article says Berkshire spent close to $4.8 billion on buybacks of its own stock in the first six months of 2026 ($234 million in Q1 and $4.53 billion in Q2), while Buffett and Abel have deployed about $82 billion on buybacks since mid-July 2018. Berkshire traded at a 40% to 50% premium to book value for most of the third quarter, a range that has historically signaled buybacks, so the author estimates Abel likely spent billions more in that quarter.

- 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.

- What Could X-Energy (XE) Gain From Its 960MW Indiana Nuclear Project?
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.
