As of 30 September, registered FDI into Vietnam reached US$50.36 billion, up 76.4% year on year, while disbursed capital exceeded US$21 billion, up 12.1% and the highest in five years. Samsung Vietnam's Cha Ji Ho said cooperation with local firms will expand from Bắc Ninh and Ho Chi Minh City to Phú Thọ, Hải Phòng and Thái Nguyên, becoming broader, deeper and more systematic. SGS Vietnam's Jackson Woo stressed that domestic suppliers must prove quality, international standards and production stability to join global supply chains, as market size alone cannot substitute for these requirements. Bùi Thu Thủy of the Foreign Investment Agency said FDI should be used to lift productivity, technology and competitiveness rather than focusing only on capital volume.

- 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. KIS edged up 2% to VND 248 billion on lower costs, while BMS and AIS swung to losses of over VND 63 billion and about VND 3 billion, respectively.
- 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
The Nifty 50 closed down 257.20 points (1.11%) at 22,888.95 and the BSE Sensex fell 876.37 points (1.17%) to 73,852.90 on Monday, as weakness in private banks, disappointing earnings and rising crude prices hit sentiment. 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.

- Amazon (AMZN) Stock Costs $250 a Share. Here's Why I'd Still Buy It.
The article argues that Amazon, trading at about $250 a share, is still worth buying for the author, who would buy it if he did not already own it. The main reason is that the stock looks appealingly valued: its forward P/E of about 24 is well below its five-year average of 39, while its price-to-sales ratio of 3.6 is slightly above the five-year average of 3. Amazon ranked fourth in the 2026 Kantar BrandZ Global Top 100, with a brand value of $1 trillion, and its shares have averaged annual gains of 22% over the past 15 years. The author stresses that a stock's absolute price means little on its own, so investors should compare it with earnings and sales and research each company in depth.
- Amazon Just Made Its AI Chips Easier to Use. Should Nvidia Investors Be Worried?
Amazon announced TorchNeuron, a free open-source tool that lets developers run existing PyTorch code on its Trainium chips with minimal changes, with a public beta due on Oct. 20. This challenges a key part of Nvidia's moat, because switching away from CUDA typically carries large costs in time and labor. However, the tool only covers PyTorch work, custom CUDA code will not port easily, and the release is still in beta, with the ease-of-switching claims coming from Amazon itself. Google is also developing a similar tool, TorchTPU. The author sees it as a chink in Nvidia's narrative and does not expect a major near-term effect on order flow or pricing power, but says the market may no longer pay quite the same premium for Nvidia stock.
- Cisco Systems (CSCO) Unveiled 102.4T AI Networking Platforms
Cisco Systems unveiled new AI networking platforms built on Silicon One P200, G300 and G302 switching chips, with 51.2T and 102.4T systems. It also introduced 1.6T optical modules and integrated liquid cooling aimed at high-density AI data centers, and disclosed a collaboration with NVIDIA, TE Connectivity and Amphenol to co-develop a 400Gb/s per lane USFP optical module and open specification. The company has a market cap of US$423.4b. The article says the launch supports Cisco's position as an AI networking provider competing with Arista and Juniper, but the richer hardware mix adds to margin pressure that has already contributed to non-GAAP gross margin compression.
