TV4 reported Q3 2026 profit up more than 103% year on year, even though net revenue fell 10.5% to over VND 62 billion. A nearly 25% drop in cost of goods sold lifted gross profit 35% to nearly VND 23 billion and improved the gross margin from 24.3% to 36.6%. For the first nine months, net revenue reached VND 166 billion and after-tax profit reached VND 16 billion, up about 57%, but operating cash flow was only about VND 16 million positive, versus over VND 43.5 billion a year earlier. Cash and equivalents stood at about VND 36.1 billion at end-September, down more than VND 11 billion from the start of the year. Earlier, former chairman Lê Cao Quyền and general director Trần Cao Hỷ were detained in a case involving the National Power Transmission Corporation, and an extraordinary shareholders' meeting on August 24 removed them from the board.

- All 46/46 Banks Cut Deposit Rates as Lending Rate Cuts Spread Widely
All 46 commercial banks have cut listed deposit rates by 0.5-0.7% a year for terms of 6 months or longer, creating room to lower lending rates. In late October 2026, new deposit rates fell about 0.4% a year on average and new lending rates fell 0.2-0.5% a year from mid-month, while more than 20 banks announced preferential credit programs cutting rates by 1.5-2% a year. Vietcombank cut up to 3% a year for sectors such as consumer trade and petroleum trade, and Agribank reduced rates on about 200,000 billion VND of existing loans by up to 2.5%. Businesses such as Tôn Thép Việt Pháp said lower interest costs are saving hundreds of millions of VND a month, just as year-end capital demand rises.
- More than 20 banks roll out preferential lending packages, cutting rates by 1.5–2%
Deputy Governor Pham Thanh Ha of the State Bank of Vietnam said more than 20 banks have announced preferential credit programs cutting lending rates by 1.5–2% per year for production, business and priority sectors. State-owned and foreign commercial banks have cut listed rates by about 0.5% per year, while joint-stock banks have cut by 0.5–0.7%. As of late October, deposit rates on new deposits fell about 0.4% from the previous month and rates on new loans fell 0.2–0.5%. From November 1, the central bank introduced a 6-month VND swap tool to support medium-term liquidity and said it will take measures against credit institutions that fail to follow the rate-cut directive. The Prime Minister has asked the central bank to strengthen supervision to ensure the rate cuts are substantive.
- Domestic demand keeps rising, retail sales reach VND 6.6 million billion: Which 'precious capital' helps Vietnamese brands go the distance?
According to the General Statistics Office (Ministry of Finance), total retail sales of goods and consumer services in the first 10 months of 2026 were estimated at VND 6,618.9 trillion, up 13.5% year on year, or 7.7% excluding price effects. The article argues that consumers increasingly weigh quality, differentiation, innovation, transparency and trust over brand fame, and remain willing to pay more for products that offer real value, according to Đặng Thúy Hà of NielsenIQ Vietnam. It notes that price cuts can offer short-term advantages, but retaining customers over the long term requires businesses to show that value justifies the price. Using YODY and An Phước as examples, it highlights understanding customer needs, improving materials and design, and maintaining quality as operations scale.
- Stocks Unexpectedly Surge 33 Points: What's Happening?
VN-Index reversed from a weak open to close up 33.4 points (+1.97%) at 1,733.02 on Nov 4, recovering the 1,700-point psychological level lost after a string of losing sessions. Nguyễn Thế Minh of An Bình Securities (ABS) said the U.S. mid-term congressional election on Nov 3, along with a weaker U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasury yields, could ease currency pressure on emerging markets like Vietnam. The same day, the State Bank of Vietnam announced a VND liquidity plan via 182-day USD/VND FX swaps of up to USD 2 billion, to be executed on Nov 6, which could initially inject up to about VND 48,800 billion; the tenor is longer than the 7-day swap in September. MB Securities (MBS) noted that November has risen in 70% of the past 10 years, averaging 3.8% gains, but many stocks have broken below October's lows even as large caps supported the index. Minh said a sustainable rally needs improved cash flow and continued gains in leading stocks.
- Prime Minister: State Budget Must Share Burden with People and Businesses
In the conclusion of the regular October government meeting on the morning of Nov 4, Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng said the state budget must share the burden with the economy, people and businesses, even though fuel tax cuts strongly affect budget revenue, in order to curb inflation in the last two months of the year. From Nov 1, average electricity prices fell 2% to VND 2,159.9 per kWh until end-March 2027, and the special consumption tax on gasoline was cut to 0% until March 31, 2027, lowering gasoline prices by VND 1,575–1,804 per liter, with a budget revenue shortfall expected to exceed VND 7,672 billion. Average CPI for the first 10 months rose 4.57% year on year, above the full-year target of about 4.5%, and the Ministry of Finance estimated these measures would lower the November CPI increase by about 0.5 percentage points. Budget revenue for the first 10 months reached nearly VND 2.45 quadrillion, equal to 96.4% of the annual estimate.

- Why the Democrat blue wave could be a good thing for Apple stock
EvercoreISI analyst Amit Daryanani sees two ways Apple could benefit from the Democratic midterm sweep. First, Apple is a defensive play amid Washington gridlock, since its earnings rely on iPhone mix, pricing and services rather than data-center construction; he sees resilient demand, with gross-margin recovery and price elasticity as key tests. Second, cooling memory chip prices could ease a major headwind: DRAM and NAND inflation was a 140 bps gross-margin headwind for Apple in the December quarter. He also asks whether slower data-center buildouts could temper memory demand and help companies hit by memory inflation. Apple shares rose 0.5% in pre-market trading on Thursday.
- BTC USD Bounces Back to $78,500 After a Democratic Sweep of Congress: Are Traders Really Punishing the Republicans?
Bitcoin dipped to $75,736 overnight as Democrats won both the House and Senate in the US midterms, then rebounded to $78,500 on November 4. The article says the move looks more like traders cutting risk before a widely expected result than selling to punish Republicans: the roughly 1.7% move after polls closed was close to the 1.8% priced into options, and the low sat almost exactly on the 50-week moving average at $75,733. Gold rose 2.6% to $4,044.70 and the dollar index fell 0.5%, moving in the same direction. The cost of the result is seen in Washington, where the crypto market structure bill will likely wait until 2027. Technically, BTC needs a daily close above $78,000 and a move past the 50-day EMA at $80,069 to show the bounce has legs.

- Bitcoin ETFs lose $1.16B as Bitwise calls selling ‘short-term’
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded more than $1 billion in net outflows over three trading days, including $116 million on Tuesday, bringing the total since Friday to $1.16 billion. Bitwise’s head of research André Dragosch attributed the withdrawals to a short-term risk-off environment rather than a structural shift, noting that 15 institutions surveyed had not reduced their exposure during the bear market. He said the outflows followed Binance’s $6.3 billion hack, which raised concerns about investor confidence, but that institutional funds held at Coinbase custody are kept in cold storage, unlike the hot wallets affected at Binance. Outflows slowed from $399 million on Monday and $643 million on Friday, and the Crypto Fear & Greed Index rose to 34 from 26 but stayed in the “Fear” category, while Bitcoin gained about 1.6% to near $78,000.

- VinFast Philippines executive on the popularity of billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong's EVs: 'Every new shipment sells out'
VinFast targets sales of more than 8,000 electric cars in the Philippines in 2026. According to Victor Vela, Deputy General Director in charge of Business, the company had delivered 5,417 vehicles through the end of September 2026 and expects sales of about 1,000 units per month from October to December; to hit the target, it needs at least 2,584 more sales in Q4, or about 861 per month.

Beyond expanding its dealer network, VinFast is promoting personalization options and battery leasing, which Vela says lower the upfront cost of the VF3.
