MCST (ALV) is preparing funds to acquire 18% of Xi măng Bạch Đằng, the investor behind the VND 3,419 billion Liên Khê cement plant in Hải Phòng, for VND 180 billion. The purchase will be financed by a VND 96.18 billion public offering, an VND 80 billion private placement and VND 3.8 billion of own capital, with MCST also serving as main contractor on the project. The State Securities Commission (UBCKNN) granted a certificate for a 1:1 rights offering of 9,618,358 shares at VND 10,000 each, below the end-2025 book value of VND 11,745 per share, and received full documents for a 10% stock dividend issuance. If completed, charter capital would double from VND 96.18 billion to VND 192.4 billion. In the first half of 2026, MCST reported net revenue of VND 415.503 billion (83.1% of its VND 500 billion target) and profit after tax of VND 14.948 billion (74.7% of its VND 20 billion plan), while it continues its roadmap to move its listing to HOSE.

- 3 reasons SpaceX could fall short of $1 trillion revenue goal
Host Ejaaz Ahamadeen outlines three obstacles that could keep Elon Musk's SpaceX (SPCX) from reaching a $1 trillion revenue goal. First, capex of $35 billion to $40 billion raises funding questions, with Tesla's balance sheet cited at about $43 billion and rumors that Musk is seeking $30 billion to $50 billion before the Anthropic IPO. Second, moving from GB300 to Vera Rubin GPUs may prove technically harder, as the host doubts Jensen Huang's claim that the new chips take about 5 minutes to bring online and notes that next-gen GPUs have historically taken time to deploy. Third, revenue forecasts diverge sharply: JP Morgan projects $254 billion next year, while Musk's estimate is $500 billion to $1 trillion.
- Elon Musk Says ‘I’ve Never Seen Anything Grow This Fast.’ One Product is the Key to Musk’s Plans to Cross $1 Trillion in Revenue.
Musk said Grok Bot, an always-on AI agent SpaceX launched in August, is the fastest-growing product he has ever seen and may end up using most of its superintelligence compute. SpaceX said Grok Bot had 800,000 paid weekly users earlier this month, more than doubling over the prior month, and expects wide enterprise deployment within a few weeks. Musk projected SpaceX's annual recurring revenue by the end of 2027 at between $500 billion and $1 trillion, but this is his own projection rather than company guidance. CFO Bret Johnson's stated goal is $100 billion in annual recurring revenue by year-end, while the AI unit's third-quarter revenue reached $7.6 billion, up 830% year over year, mainly from cloud services. Capital spending was $19.6 billion in the quarter and is expected at $35 to $40 billion in Q4.
- Meta’s revenue beat; Tesla’s lower annual sales goal - what’s moving markets
U.S. stock index futures slipped as investors digested earnings from Meta Platforms and Tesla. Meta shares edged higher after hours on revenue above expectations and guidance for the current quarter of $73 billion to $76 billion, and the company also plans a new class of nonvoting stock to fund its AI push and narrowed its capital expenditure forecast to $135 billion to $145 billion. Tesla shares fell after it cut its annual sales goal for the end of the decade to 5 million vehicles from 20 million, while some insiders reportedly worried about regulatory scrutiny of a possible SpaceX merger. By 03:08 ET, S&P 500 futures were down 1.0%, Nasdaq 100 futures were down 1.7% and Dow futures were down 0.5%. Truist projections cited by the Wall Street Journal suggest Muse could add $28.5 billion in incremental revenue by 2030.
- Tech giant AI spending to exceed USD 1 trillion in 2027, lift US growth: UBS
UBS estimates major technology companies' AI infrastructure spending will exceed USD 600 billion in 2026 and USD 1 trillion in 2027, as computing demand outstrips supply. AI infrastructure spending contributed about 0.75 percentage points to US GDP growth in the first half of 2026, and gains in AI-linked equity prices boosted household wealth and consumption. However, the report sees little clear evidence that AI has materially lifted productivity or caused major job losses, with its impact on the unemployment rate at around 0.2 percentage points or less. Employment in software and computer systems design fell 1.4% year-on-year, while construction supporting data centres grew nearly 3%. UBS also flags financing pressure as cash flows at major tech firms weaken and bond demand softens, and investors expect free cash flow to turn positive again in 2028 if AI services generate enough revenue.
- Tech giant AI spending to exceed USD 1 trillion in 2027 , lift US growth : UBS
UBS estimates that AI-related capital expenditure by major technology companies will exceed USD 600 billion in 2026 and USD 1 trillion in 2027, as demand for computing capacity keeps outstripping supply. AI infrastructure spending contributed about 0.75 percentage points to US GDP growth in the first half of 2026, while its estimated effect on the overall unemployment rate is around 0.2 percentage points or less. Employment in selected high-tech sectors, including software and computer systems design, fell 1.4 per cent year-on-year, while construction industries supporting data centre infrastructure grew by nearly 3 per cent. The report also flags weakening cash flows and less robust demand for tech companies' bonds, with investors expecting free cash flow to turn positive again in 2028 if companies generate sufficient revenue from AI services.
- US Holiday Sales to Top $1 Trillion , but Jewelry Faces Spending Pressure
On October 15, the NRF forecast that US holiday retail sales in November and December would rise 4.2% year on year to $1.013 trillion, the first time they would top $1 trillion, after 3.1% growth to $972 billion in 2025, though it gives no separate jewelry projection. A September McKinsey survey of 4,013 consumers found 43% expected to spend less on jewelry over the next three months. Mastercard projects 5.5% growth from November 1 to December 24, excluding gasoline and autos, and notes that over 35% of in-store spending on jewelry, handbags, department stores and cosmetics in the 2025 season occurred in the final week before Christmas. The NRF cites persistent inflation, higher gasoline prices, high interest rates and household debt, and expects 325,000 to 375,000 seasonal hires, versus about 356,000 last year. The article suggests jewelry retailers may have to compete harder for discretionary spending.

- World's Largest Gold Fund Dumps Over 10 Tonnes of Gold as Prices Slide
SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold fund, continued net selling of nearly 12 tonnes of gold in the 22/10 session, bringing total sales over 2 sessions to nearly 15 tonnes and cutting its holdings to about 1,046 tonnes. Spot gold fell more than 2.8% to around USD 4,025 per ounce at the close of 22/10, and briefly dipped below USD 4,000 per ounce in the morning session of 23/10. Tensions in the Middle East pushed crude oil prices higher, raising concerns about inflation and further Fed tightening, and gold has still not attracted sustained safe-haven demand even as US Treasury yields fell. US September CPI rose 0.6% month on month and 3.7% year on year, while PPI rose 1.3% and 6.3%. Markets price about an 84% chance the Fed holds rates steady at its 27-28/10 meeting and a 16% chance of a 25 basis-point increase; September PCE data due on 29/10 is the next key factor to watch.

- Company Linked to Billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong Announces Major Good News
VEFAC (ticker VEF), a Vingroup subsidiary, posted Q3 net revenue of nearly VND 77 billion, up 67% year on year, but a gross loss of about VND 27 billion as cost of sales from its exhibition business exceeded revenue. Q3 profit rose mainly thanks to a gross gain of about VND 65 billion from transferring some schools in a project to a partner, while financial income reached over VND 388 billion, mostly from loan and investment income.

- International Business : Global stocks nosedive as Meta dents AI optimism
Global stocks retreated as tech earnings failed to ease concerns about the AI outlook, with MSCI's All-World index set for its largest daily fall in two weeks, down 0.4 per cent. Meta beat third-quarter revenue expectations, but its plan to issue non-voting stock revived worries about its mounting capital commitments, and a New Mexico judge ordered it to pay a $25 billion penalty in a data privacy case. Brent crude rose nearly 3% to $112 a barrel, near a five-month high, after more Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia raised supply risks. Investors moved into government bonds, pushing the US 10-year yield down to 5.05%, below France's for the first time in 13 years, while French yields have climbed above 5% amid concerns over social unrest and debt. The France-Germany 10-year spread reached 177.7 basis points, its widest since 2011, while gold fell 1.8% to $4,070 an ounce.
