- Expert: Most stocks are at their cheapest valuations in five years, but it's not yet easy to "make money"
ACBS expects the market to trade sideways within 1,700-1,900 in the remaining months of the year, with valuations below the recent five-year average. Vietnam was upgraded to FTSE Russell's secondary emerging market status, yet foreign investors are still net sellers, given Vietnam's modest weight in the index and the Fed's 0.25% rate hike in September. High interest rates are weighing on profits across many sectors; banking, which accounts for over 30% of market capitalization, posted weaker Q3 2026 results than Q2, though still up year on year. Ms. Đỗ Minh Trang says banking, oil and gas, insurance, power generation and ports still offer potential if selected carefully, while the real estate outlook is not positive.
- Weekly market review: Liquidity surges, banking stocks lead the rebound
The VN-Index gained 68.24 points (about 4%) over the week to close at 1,774.15, snapping a four-week decline, as average trading volume on HoSE reached nearly 712 million shares per session, up 22.2% from the prior week. VIC contributed more than 36.7 points, while STB rose by its 6.86% daily ceiling to 68,500 dong per share, with a market capitalisation of 129,137 billion dong. Foreign investors were net sellers of over 1,000 billion dong for the week, despite net buying of 190 billion dong on 21/10. BSC sees the index entering a sensitive resistance zone of 1,768 - 1,778 points, while VNDIRECT attributed the rally mainly to reactions to third-quarter 2026 results from banking and real estate stocks. Experts also cautioned against FOMO-driven chasing during euphoric sessions.
- Stocks Rise for Three Sessions as Foreign Investors Heavily Sell One Bank Stock
The VN-Index rose 13.52 points (0.77%) to 1,774 points on October 23, its third straight gain, with trading value on HoSE exceeding VND 16,330 billion. Large-cap stocks supported the index, with VIC adding nearly 6 points and STB hitting the ceiling price, although market breadth remained narrow with 144 gainers and 156 decliners on HoSE. Foreign investors net sold nearly VND 470 billion, mainly of ACB, but net bought about VND 152 billion of TCB. The article notes that news of Nguyễn Đức Thụy being nominated for VFF chairman was not the direct cause of STB's ceiling gain.
- VN-Index gains nearly 70 points after a booming week
VN-Index closed the Oct. 23 session at 1,774.15 points, up 13.5 points and 68.24 points above last week's close, marking its third straight strong gain. The rise was led by large caps, with 20 of 30 VN30 stocks advancing, STB hitting its daily ceiling and ACB up 3.9%, although selling pressure appeared in the first 30 minutes of the afternoon session. On HoSE, 144 stocks rose and 156 fell, with trading value reaching 16,942 billion VND. Foreign investors unexpectedly net sold about 478 billion VND after two days of net buying, while ACB faced the largest net selling at about 470 billion VND and TCB drew the most net buying at about 152 billion VND. HNX-Index rose 1.62 points to 262.70.
- A Bank Stock Is Being Accumulated by Securities Firm Proprietary Trading for Hundreds of Billions of VND This Weekend

On the other side, the group net sold most heavily at KBC at VND 204 billion, followed by TPB (VND 171 billion) and FPT (VND 23 billion). In the weekend session of 23/10, VN-Index dipped slightly on selling pressure in banking and securities stocks, then turned higher to close up 13.52 points (0.77%) at 1,774.15 points as buying improved. Foreign investors reversed course to net sell VND 470 billion after two consecutive sessions of net buying.
- Money Flows Into Bank Stocks
VN-Index closed above 1,774 points, up 13.5 points, led by bank stocks as the sector index rose 1.59% and eight of the top 10 contributors to the index came from the group. STB hit its daily ceiling at 68,500 dong on turnover of over 554 billion dong, while ACB led the market with nearly 847 billion dong traded and rose 3.9% to 21,300 dong. However, 153 stocks on HoSE declined versus 137 that advanced, showing cash flow remains divided, and total trading value of over 16,900 billion dong, up nearly 11%, remained relatively low. Foreign investors turned to net selling of about 480 billion dong, with ACB seeing the largest net outflow at over 469 billion dong. For the week, VN-Index gained more than 68 points (4%), reversing course after four consecutive weeks of correction; VPX said the short-term recovery trend is being reinforced, though profit-taking pressure could rise as the index approaches resistance above.

- NVDA Stock Ticks Higher Overnight: a16z Data Shows GPU Rental Prices Rising Sharply, Even For Older Chips
According to a16z, citing Ornn Data, Nvidia GPU rental prices have surged this year: H200 rates are up 160% and B200 up 120% since January, while RTX PRO 6000 rose about 65% and H100 35%. Even the six-year-old A100 costs more to rent than at the start of the year. a16z said rental prices across every GPU model it tracked were 9% to 143% higher than a straight-line six-year depreciation model would imply, suggesting chips are holding value better than expected. Token consumption on OpenRouter has climbed sharply since spring, though a16z cautioned this is only a partial view of AI demand. Meanwhile, AI-linked stocks sold off over the past two weeks, and NVDA is down 7.6% this month, closing at $210.96 on Friday.
- Billionaire Ken Griffin Is Buying This Dividend King That Wall Street Still Rates a Buy
Citadel Advisors, the hedge fund led by billionaire Ken Griffin, has been increasing its stake in AbbVie (ABBV) in recent months. In the second quarter, Citadel bought 2.7 million shares at an average price of $234.57, for about $633 million, bringing its holding to 3.2 million shares worth $909 million at the current price of about $284. The stock has risen about 24% this year and trades at 74 times trailing earnings, which some investors may view as expensive. The article's author nonetheless sees merit in AbbVie as a Dividend King that has raised its annual dividend for 50 consecutive years, currently $6.92 per share, a 2.43% dividend yield. The company has a strong brand lineup including Skyrizi, Rinvoq, Humira and Botox, and about 90 drugs and treatments in development; the FDA approved its once-daily Parkinson's pill Juvmo in September, and William Blair analysts expect its sales could reach as much as $1.4 billion annually by 2040. Of the 30 analysts tracked by Yahoo Finance, 24 rate the stock 'strong buy' or 'buy'.
