- HNX - to - HOSE transfer unlikely to lift all stock prices : experts
All stocks listed on the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) will move to HOSE, with December 23 as HNX's last trading day and trading on HOSE starting December 28, bringing 299 companies onto HOSE. HNX is small by comparison: its end-September market capitalisation of VNĐ463.5 trillion (about US$18 billion) equalled roughly 5.4% of HOSE's, and its average daily trading value of VNĐ711 billion was just 4.3% of HOSE's VNĐ16.4 trillion. Analysts say the transfer is mainly an organisational change and will not lift prices on its own, since share prices still depend on economic growth, earnings and companies' fundamentals. Foreign investors had sold Vietnamese equities for nine straight months through September, with cumulative net selling of about VNĐ102.2 trillion by October 7, while US Treasury yields above 5% compete for international capital.

- VN-Index drops 16 points after strong rally
VN-Index reversed from a strong early rally to close 16 points lower in the first session of the week, finishing below 1,690 points, its lowest in nearly 3 months and more than 12% below its record high of 1,927 points. Selling pressure focused on banks, with VIC down nearly 4% and pulling the index down more than 13 points, while oil and gas stocks such as PVT, BSR and GAS rose about 1-2% and helped limit the decline. Liquidity reached over VND 13,000 billion, and foreign investors extended their net selling to 19 consecutive sessions, buying about VND 1,400 billion against sales of about VND 2,200 billion. MBS said seasonality is driving the market, as October has historically been the weakest period of the year, and Q3 earnings may not be enough to create a broad ripple effect. TPS sees the index nearing long-term support around 1,685 points, with any sustained recovery depending on improved liquidity.

Latest news
- Prediction: SoFi Stock Gains at Least 50% by the End of 2030
SoFi Technologies shares have fallen more than 50% from last November's peak and recently hit a new 52-week low. The decline follows the loss of a technology platform customer, Chime, which cut that segment's first-quarter revenue by 27% year over year, along with a weak market and deteriorating credit conditions. The author argues the long-term picture is stronger: second-quarter revenue rose 40% to $1.2 billion, EBITDA grew 44%, and customers reached a record 15.8 million, up 35% from a year earlier. Morningstar expects per-share profit to rise from $0.62 this year to $1.71 in 2030; at 15 times that figure, the stock would be worth just above $25, nearly 80% above its current price. The article cautions that shares could fall before they rise.
- The 5 Most Important Numbers From SpaceX’s Earnings
SpaceX's third-quarter results beat analyst expectations, with revenue of $14.6 billion nearly doubling from the prior quarter and operating income reaching $2.8 billion versus a $273 million loss a year earlier. The AI segment, now called Super Intelligence, generated $7.6 billion, more than half of revenue, including about $600 million from Cursor. Starlink added 1.6 million consumer subscribers to reach 13.6 million, though revenue per customer fell to $69 a month from $83 as it expands into cheaper markets. Compute capacity surpassed 1.7 gigawatts, but capex hit $19.6 billion, $16.4 billion of it for AI, and 2026 capital spending has exceeded operating cash flow by about $35 billion. The stock trades at 93 times forward earnings, and Musk's earlier goal of closer to 10 GW than 5 GW by the end of 2027 could push capex higher.
- Tokenized stock trading takes off overseas as Goldman, other U.S. companies object
Tokenized stock trading is growing fast overseas, according to Bitwise's latest quarterly report, with volume on Robinhood Chain rising from $526 million in July to $11.31 billion in September. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Alphabet and other large U.S. companies have objected to having their shares traded as tokens on the OKXICE venue, bringing the total number of objectors to 16 as of Wednesday. The debate centers on whether token holders should receive the same economic and voting rights as shareholders, and the SEC's new U.S. pathway requires issuers to be able to object. ClearStreet analyst Owen Lau said some companies may eventually embrace tokenization for a broader investor base and 24/7 trading, while an Injective executive argued that until issuers see clear benefits, growth will keep happening abroad.

- Ken Griffin: There Are “Almost Certainly Bubbles” in AI Right Now
Citadel founder and CEO Ken Griffin said on October 20, 2026, at the firm's Future of Global Markets Conference in New York that investors are 'almost certainly' in an AI bubble. He argued that radical economic change is generally tied to bubbles, and that the companies that survive become market leaders for decades. He also warned that corporate America has been uneven in extracting value from AI models, and said agentic tools cut some Citadel research from 6-8 weeks to 2-3 hours. NVIDIA ended at $216.47 and QQQ slid 0.10%, a muted market reaction.
