- Securities firm BSC highlights three undervalued stock groups with expected strong gains in 2027
In its Q4 2026 strategy report, BIDV Securities (BSC) prioritises three sectors that benefit from domestic growth and have cheap or reasonable valuations: banking, retail and building materials. Building materials was upgraded on expectations of stronger public investment disbursement in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, with sector profit forecast to grow about 22% in 2027. Hòa Phát (HPG) has a target price of 32,700 VND, implying 60% upside, with profit expected to rise 81% in 2026 and 17% in 2027. Among banks, BSC picks Vietcombank (VCB), MB (MBB) and VPBank (VPB), while in retail, Thế Giới Di Động (MWG) is rated attractive with a forward 2027 P/E of about 8.7 times and a target price of 102,500 VND (39.6% upside). Separately, FPT is viewed positively as new contract signings rose 28% in the first nine months of 2026.
- More than US$1 billion set to flow into stocks: has the time to deploy arrived?
BSC (BIDV Securities) maintains that valuations across many sectors have become more attractive, making now a reasonable time to allocate to stocks for the medium to long term. Market-wide profits rose 50% year on year in Q2 2026, and BSC raised its 2026 profit growth forecast to 26% and expects 12% growth in 2027. The VN-Index's trailing 12-month P/E, excluding the Vingroup group, is 10.5x, while the 2027 forward P/E is about 9.5x, a discount of nearly 30% to the average. Liquidity remains the main bottleneck, though banking-system liquidity pressure has begun to ease and the probability of rate cuts in 2027 has risen. Foreign outflows are expected to ease, with about VND 33,000 billion (US$1.27 billion) of inflows from the market upgrade expected mainly in 2027.
- Securities companies' update as of morning 20/10: Q3 financial reports pour in, and several major names unexpectedly report profit declines
As of the morning of 20/10, 31 securities companies had released their Q3/2026 financial statements with mixed results, and some saw profits drop 80-98% year on year. VIX reported Q3 pre-tax profit of about VND 192 billion, down 94%, as gains from selling FVTPL assets fell sharply, revaluation losses reached nearly VND 1,363 billion, and operating expenses rose to over VND 1,744 billion. BVSC's pre-tax profit was about VND 20 billion, down 80%, while ABS rose 552% to VND 376 billion, driven by FVTPL gains of nearly VND 412 billion.

- China economy accelerated in July - September quarter on robust exports
China said its economy grew 4.5% in the July–September quarter from a year earlier, up from 4.3% in April–June, helped by strong exports. Growth for the first three quarters reached 4.6%, and Beijing's full-year target is 4.5% to 5%, below last year's 5%; the IMF cut its 2026 forecast to 4.5%. Weak domestic demand, weighed down by a prolonged property slump, contrasts with booming trade: exports rose 36% last month, and the trade surplus reached $938 billion from January to September, on track to beat last year's record $1.2 trillion. Exports to the EU rose 16% in the first nine months, and the EU and China agreed this month to roughly halve Chinese hybrid vehicle imports over the next few years, though economists say trade imbalances will be hard to resolve quickly.
- China third-quarter growth narrowly beats forecasts
China's economy grew 4.5% in July–September from a year earlier, slightly above the 4.4% AFP poll forecast and up from 4.3% in the previous quarter, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. The figure still sits at the lower end of Beijing's 4.5–5.0% annual target, and officials described domestic demand as insufficient. September retail sales rose 1.1%, the fastest since March, while fixed-asset investment fell 7.2% over the first nine months. Exports, boosted by AI-related demand, remain a bright spot and could top last year's $1.2 trillion trade surplus, stoking tensions with the EU and US. The IMF recently lowered its forecast for China's annual growth this year to 4.5%.
- Sensex sinks 876 points , Nifty falls 1 . 11 % as Crude oil nears USD 109

Almost all NSE sectoral indices closed lower, with only the Nifty PSU Bank index rising 2.41%. Axis Bank fell more than 4%, while SBI, JSW Steel, Eicher Motors and Adani Ports led the gainers. Brent crude traded at USD 108.50 per barrel, raising concerns about imported inflation, while the rupee rose for a seventh straight session to around 94.95 per dollar. However, RBI reserves fell USD 8.6 billion to USD 726 billion in the week ended October 9, a drawdown of nearly USD 60 billion since early September, and analysts said markets could stay volatile.

- NVIDIA Deal Highlights Value of Tiny's Early Poolside Investment
Tiny's original US$250,000 seed investment in Poolside is now ascribed a value of about US$11.1 million (C$15.8 million), roughly 44 times the initial cost, based on NVIDIA's reported financing terms. The deal pairs a US$6 billion technology licence with a US$1 billion investment in Poolside at a US$13 billion post-money valuation. Tiny's estimate applies that valuation to its roughly 0.0854% indirect stake and excludes its separate shares in Poolside Infrastructure Company (PIC), to which no value has been assigned. Tiny says its core strategy remains majority ownership of durable, cash-generating businesses, with Poolside a small, selective minority investment.
- Anthropic Gives 5% of Itself to the Public. Musk Answers by Giving Away SpaceX Shares
Anthropic will commit 5% of its shares to a new Public Benefit Fund, subject to stockholder approval, and says roughly 20% of its stock will go to public causes once co-founder and employee pledges are counted. Elon Musk responded by promising one SpaceX share to every U.S. child next year, a giveaway worth more than $10 billion at current prices. The fund follows a draft AI safety bill Anthropic pitched to lawmakers, which would let the government block models posing a risk of killing or injuring more than 50 people or causing over $1 billion in damage. Anthropic is preparing an IPO as soon as November at a reported valuation of around $2 trillion, which would put its 5% stake at about $100 billion on paper rather than in cash. The fund is a wholly owned LLC rather than a nonprofit, and it cannot be used for lobbying or political donations.
- Why CoreWeave Struggles Could Weigh Down Nvidia Stock
CoreWeave (CRWV) shares plunged last week over concerns about rising interest rates and its heavy debt load, and are down well over 20% over the past month. Nvidia (NVDA) is also exposed, having invested billions in CoreWeave and being one of its major customers, though its stock has fallen only about 2% over the past month. With a market cap of around $5.2 trillion, Nvidia trades at a forward P/E of 25 and a PEG of about 0.48, below the 1.0 level the article uses to define a cheap stock, but this valuation rests on expected growth. The article warns that doubts about Nvidia's growth could trigger a steep correction, citing tech firms making their own chips and possible AI spending cuts if interest rates rise.
- Power company announces an important decision
CTCP Nhiệt điện Quảng Ninh (QTP) says its board approved the EPC contract for package 05 of its flue gas treatment upgrade project, signed with the SEC-Pacific joint venture of Shanghai Electric Group and CTCP Tập đoàn Thái Bình Dương on a fixed-price basis. The contract is worth over 89.75 million USD and nearly 902 billion VND, about 3,271 billion VND in total, with 38 months to complete. SEC-Pacific was the only bidder to pass technical evaluation, as rival CISDI failed to reach the minimum score. The company has also appointed two deputy general directors this year, Nguyễn Công Kiên from 12/8/2026 and Dương Thành Công from 16/10/2026, after former board member Lê Việt Cường was arrested in February 2026 over alleged forgery of documents. For the first six months of 2026, net revenue reached nearly 6,359 billion VND, up over 10%, and profit after tax about 524 billion VND, up over 44%, already exceeding its full-year 2026 profit plan.
