Ms. Nguyen Thi Binh Minh, Director of the Business Center at Mirae Asset Vietnam Securities, says a common mistake is focusing on stocks that have fallen the most rather than assessing business quality and prospects. According to MoneyGain, as of 25 October 2026, 513 companies had reported third-quarter financials, with combined profit rising 16.4% year on year even as many share prices fell. The VN-Index's P/E was about 12.3 times on 23 October, or 10.3 times excluding Vingroup. The share of stocks trading above their 50-session moving average reached 44.33%, the highest since March 2026, but remained below 50%. Ms. Minh stresses risk management, saying a 20-25% portfolio cap per stock is only a reference limit.

- Many stocks 'going cold' in investors' eyes
SSI Research says the VN-Index is down about 9% from its 2026 peak, but excluding Vingroup-related stocks the index has fallen as much as 16% since early September 2025. In the first 9 months of the year, the index excluding VIC, VHM, VRE and VPL dropped 6.5%, while the Vingroup group rose 22.7%. VinaCapital argues that capital concentrated in a few leading stocks leaves many businesses with good prospects overlooked, and BVH, GMD and PVS have risen about 20-40% since the start of the year. Deputy CEO Nguyen Hoai Thu says investors should study each company rather than chase the market leaders, and that low prices alone do not identify an opportunity. SSI Research forecasts market-wide profit growth slowing to about 10.1% in 2027 from 30% in 2026.
- Experts point to sector groups that could draw cash flow in Q4
Mr. Bùi Văn Huy, General Director of FIDT, says the recent rebound in the VN-Index has been driven largely by Vingroup-related stocks, with VIC and VHM alone adding over 21 points to the index on the 22/10 session. Cash flow remains weak, liquidity has not surged, foreign investors are net sellers and interest rates are still high, so the index's gains do not yet mean overall market health has fully recovered. For Q4, he suggests buying on market corrections rather than rushing, deploying capital gradually, limiting margin use, favoring companies with solid finances and avoiding chasing overheated blue chips. Sectors he says investors may watch include infrastructure, public investment, energy and green transition, and companies benefiting from preferential loans, while technology and digital transformation still face pressure from the global AI wave. He also stresses monitoring inflation, exchange rates and Fed policy, and reducing stock exposure if inflation gets out of control or interest rates turn upward.
- Notable Stocks to Watch at Market Open, Oct. 23
The digest reports that foreign investors net bought over 300 billion VND for a second straight session after an extended selling streak, though net foreign flows since early October remain negative by more than 6 trillion VND. VN-Index rose 46.7 points in the Oct. 21 session, driven mainly by limit-up gains in Vingroup-linked stocks. Margin lending by securities firms reached a record 463 trillion VND at the end of Q3 2026, up 2% from the previous quarter. The State Securities Commission penalized three companies listed on UPCoM over Oct. 19–20, 2026. The piece also notes that the central counterparty (CCP) clearing mechanism is expected from Q1 2027, prompting brokers to speed up their procedures.
- Large cash flows return, stock market posts strongest gain in over half a year
The VN-Index jumped 46.7 points, or 2.76%, to 1,738 points, its strongest gain since April 8. Vingroup-linked stocks VIC, VHM and VRE hit the daily limit and contributed about 35 points, while 246 stocks rose and 16 hit the ceiling on HoSE. Trading value reached nearly 18,200 billion VND, up about 43% from the 20-session average. Foreign investors ended a 20-session selling streak with net buying of about 160 billion VND, led by TCB, MSN and VIC, while FPT, VCB and ACB saw net selling. The article cautions that the index's gain depends heavily on Vingroup stocks.
- VN-Index Falls to Two-Month Low
VN-Index fell for four straight sessions on selling pressure in Vingroup-linked stocks, at one point dipping below 1,720 points to its lowest level since late July, before dip-buying pulled it back near that level. Four Vingroup stocks closed below the reference price, with VIC dragging the index down more than 10 points and VHM nearly 4 points. Oil and gas stocks were the weakest sector after oil prices fell following Trump's announcement that Russia and Ukraine agreed to halt attacks on each other's energy infrastructure; PLX and OIL each dropped about 3%, while steelmaker NKG closed up 6.9%. Foreign investors extended net selling to 14 consecutive sessions, and liquidity was about half of the previous week's final session. MB Securities' research team said October seasonality weighs on the market and advised investors to favor individual stocks with third-quarter profit growth from core operations.
- Bảo Tín Capital: Anticipating a New Growth Cycle and the “Đông Xuân Khoán” Pattern
Đinh Ngọc Dũng, Chairman and CEO of Bảo Tín Capital, said Vietnam's stock market is entering a new cycle of strong growth in both scale and quality. Market capitalisation rose from about 1% of GDP in 2000 to 82.6% of GDP in 2025, while Q3 2026 GDP is estimated to have grown 9.95%. Post-tax profits of 403 of 404 HOSE-listed companies reported for Q2 reached 217,020 billion VND, up 47.5% year on year, but the top five firms, VHM, VIC, VCB, CTG and VPB, accounted for 35% of total profits, so the gains remain concentrated. Bảo Tín Capital estimates passive inflows from the upgrade at about 1.5 billion USD, while the VN-Index P/E stands at 12.10 times, about 8% below its five-year average. Mr. Dũng said profit is the main driver of share prices, and the “Đông Xuân khoán” pattern has held in 16 of 16 seasons from 2010–2011 to 2025–2026, with an average gain of about 20.7%, though this is the maximum swing between trough and peak rather than realised return.

- Ukraine's Strike on Russia Angers Trump: Crisis Emerges, Threatening Vital US Aid?
Relations between President Donald Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky have deteriorated, as Trump has grown frustrated with Kyiv's repeated strikes on Russia's diesel infrastructure while diesel prices have reached record highs. On September 13, Trump began publicly urging Ukraine to halt these strikes, but Kyiv refused, saying long-range drone attacks are its only viable response to Russia's five-year campaign. On October 9, Trump announced an agreement to buy diesel from Moscow and issued a temporary general license allowing Russian diesel to access global markets. On October 22, Trump said he had asked SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to restore Ukraine's access to Starlink, after an interruption had hampered Kyiv's military drone operations. Peace efforts have yet to produce concrete results, and negotiators from Ukraine, Russia and the US are expected to meet in Abu Dhabi in the first half of November.
- Jensen Huang Says Nvidia's Next-Gen Vera Rubin Chips Will Generate $40 Billion in Revenue per Gigawatt, Up From $25 Billion for Grace Blackwell. What That Means for NVDA's Growth Runway.
Nvidia says its next-generation Vera Rubin architecture could generate about $40 billion in revenue per gigawatt of computing capacity, 60% more than the roughly $25 billion from Grace Blackwell. CEO Jensen Huang said the platform, which combines GPUs, CPUs, NVLink connections, networking and software, lets customers do more computing without a matching increase in electricity use, a key constraint for AI data centers. Vera Rubin has entered production shipments, with purchase orders from major hyperscalers, AI cloud providers and equipment makers. Huang forecasts AI infrastructure spending of $3 trillion to $4 trillion by 2030 and expects Nvidia to sell twice as many chips in 2027 as in 2026. In the fiscal second quarter ended July 26, Nvidia reported $96.2 billion in revenue, up 106%, including $89 billion from data centers; the $40 billion figure is a potential opportunity rather than guaranteed orders.
- Anthropic's $750 Billion Compute Bill Could Delay Its Path to Profitability
According to a draft S-1 filing reported by The Wall Street Journal, Anthropic could spend up to $750 billion on compute over roughly the next decade, including $450 billion in noncancelable cloud contracts. The bulk of that goes to Alphabet ($160 billion for processors leased through Broadcom and $111 billion for Google Cloud), Amazon Web Services ($110 billion), Nvidia ($86 billion) and Microsoft ($31 billion). Revenue reached $16.3 billion in the first half of this year, up from $1.1 billion in the same period of 2025, but losses hit $80 billion, of which $72 billion came from an accounting adjustment tied to convertible notes. The article says GAAP profitability looks distant, even though the company was slightly profitable on an adjusted basis in the third quarter, and that losing a major customer could pressure margins, since two customers account for 20% of revenue.
- Nearly 85% of Value “Evaporated” After 26 Consecutive Floor-Price Sessions: What Is Happening at KOS?
KOS fell to the floor price of 4,700 VND per share in the October 26 morning session, likely its 26th consecutive floor-price session since September 21, with the stock down nearly 85%. Outstanding sell orders reached about 91 million shares, 168 times the matched volume, cutting market capitalization from over VND 6 trillion to just over VND 1 trillion. The company attributed the decline to handling of collateral assets and margin loan adjustments by several brokerages, while saying its core operations showed no unusual changes. Selling pressure also came from related shareholders: Chairman Nguyễn Việt Cường's stake fell from 35.4% to 33.09% after forced margin sales, and shares held by him, Vice Chair Nguyễn Thị Hằng and related entities serve as collateral for loans at three banks with about VND 260 billion outstanding.
