• Deputy proposes letting developers collect property deposits earlier

  Deputy Bùi Xuân Hải proposed letting developers collect the 5% deposit on future real estate earlier, once basic legal steps are complete, including investment policy approval, 1/500 detailed planning approval and a construction permit, rather than waiting until construction starts. He suggested holding the deposits in a blocked bank account to protect buyers and called for tight control of cash flows among affiliated companies. The Banking Association and Vingroup also proposed earlier deposit collection, while deputy Phạm Hùng Hưng called for mandatory notarization of these deposit contracts to prevent one unit being sold to several buyers or deposits being misappropriated.

• Holding 20% of a 9,170-hectare Hanoi megaproject, VinFast leadership comments on possible expansion into real estate

  VinFast completed the purchase of 100% of the economic interest in Ngọc Hồi Real Estate Investment JSC from Phạm Nhật Vượng and two minority shareholders, giving it a 20% stake in the roughly 9,170-hectare Global Sportia project in Hanoi, while Vinhomes holds 35%. Management says the investment could add profit and cash flow from 2027 and does not signal a strategic shift into real estate. In Q2 2026, revenue reached VND 30,300 billion, up 85% year on year, and the net loss narrowed to VND 1,400 billion thanks to liquidation gains from the VFTP transfer, though the gross margin remained at -63%. Third-party borrowings fell to VND 21,800 billion from VND 82,200 billion at end-2025, mainly because VFTP was no longer consolidated. Mr. Phạm Nhật Vượng also contributed an additional VND 20,000 billion in capital in Q3, while Vingroup's outstanding loans to VinFast reached VND 17,400 billion at end-Q2.

• 'Firms That Have Not Fully Paid Land Fees Should Be Allowed to Transfer Stalled Projects'

  Nguyễn Thị Việt Nga, deputy head of the Hải Phòng delegation to the National Assembly, proposed letting businesses that have not fully paid land fees transfer unfinished projects, so frozen resources can return to the economy. Draft Article 30 of the amended Real Estate Business Law requires investors to complete land financial obligations before transferring all or part of a project. Nga agrees with the rule, which prevents debt write-offs through transfers, but says investors that lose or seriously weaken financial capacity need a solution, as stalled projects tie up land and credit. Her proposal allows the buyer to take over outstanding obligations, subject to the authority confirming the amount, the buyer proving financial capacity, and the balance being paid from the transfer price into the budget, with no debt write-off. Bùi Xuân Hải, rector of Hải Phòng University, backs a similar approach but asks for written commitments on deadlines for meeting obligations to the State.

• Proposal to withhold 5% of bank-held home purchase payments until buyers get red books before paying developers

  Justice Minister Hoàng Thanh Tùng presented to the National Assembly on October 22 a draft amended Law on Real Estate Business with 10 chapters and 61 articles. Under the draft, developers could not collect more than 95% of contract value until buyers receive land-use right and property ownership certificates, and the remaining 5% would sit in an account at a credit institution, going to the developer only after certification or once the buyer agrees to handle the procedures; buyers would keep any interest earned. The draft would also let provincial People's Committee chairs approve transfers of all or part of projects that the Prime Minister approved in principle. The Economic and Financial Committee asked that the law set principles for managing the 5% and handling risks, and clarify the “voluntary” element.

• Amended Law on Real Estate Business: Seven business conditions and four administrative procedures cut

  The draft amended Law on Real Estate Business submitted to the National Assembly proposes cutting 4 of 12 administrative procedures and 7 business investment conditions. The draft has 10 chapters and 61 articles, 22 fewer than the 2023 law, and adds a real estate transaction framework and a mechanism placing the remaining 5% of future-property contract value in a blocked account or as agreed by the parties. It also expands the types of transferable contracts and lets provincial People's Committees approve transfers of whole or part of projects. The Committee for Economic and Financial Affairs supports the amendment but asks for refinements, including rules for managing the 5% sum and handling risks, clarification of the “voluntary” element in buyer-led certificate applications, and consideration of project transfers when developers lack capacity.

• Did Wall Street forget about Tesla's Cybercab?

  Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi discusses Tesla (TSLA)'s Cybercab expansion and its relevance amid a possible merger with SpaceX (SPCX). Elon pointed to 2 million cumulative unsupervised robotaxi miles by quarter-end, Austin operating hours now run 6:00 a.m. to midnight, and more Cybercabs are expected in more cities in coming months. The Austin Cybercab fleet has grown by a factor of 10 since launch about a month ago. Tesla shares fell partly because the company cut capex by $5 billion, which Sozzi attributes to Optimus robot production bottlenecks rather than the Cybercab. He argues that with merger talks being explored, investors should start thinking of SpaceX and Tesla as one company.

• Is USA Rare Earth Stock a Once-in-a-Generation Reshoring Opportunity?

  The article examines whether USA Rare Earth (USAR) can help the U.S. and its allies secure critical minerals, given China's dominance in rare-earth extraction and processing. China banned rare-earth exports in October 2025 in response to U.S. tariffs and chip restrictions; the ban was later temporarily lifted, though some Chinese companies have canceled U.S. exports, and China has also banned technology exports to USA Rare Earth and MP Materials. USAR shares are down roughly 15% in 2026 and about 74% from their lifetime high last October. Excluding the recently acquired Brazil-based Serra Verde, the company is essentially pre-revenue, though U.S. government supply agreements offer some pricing floor protection. With a market cap of roughly $4 billion and a target of about $1.8 billion in EBITDA for 2030, the author sees a worthwhile risk-reward profile for risk-tolerant investors, while stressing the stock is not low-risk.

• Nebius Declines 6% Despite Fresh Citi Financing; CoreWeave Drops 5%, Cloudflare Edges Higher

  Nebius (NBIS) fell 6% to $162.03 despite a new senior secured credit facility from Citi, which matures in just under a year and is meant to fund data center development and GPU purchases while the company seeks longer-term asset-backed financing. CoreWeave (CRWV) dropped 5% to $58.86, while Cloudflare (NET) rose 2% to $313.35, with the article framing the selling as concentrated among neoclouds that rely on debt. A Barclays strategist noted that AI-spending credit stress has stayed largely confined to neocloud companies. Nebius has $37.5 billion in remaining performance obligations, $8.13 billion in capital spending, and three customers each accounting for a double-digit share of quarterly sales. The article says the Citi line adds to leverage concerns, making the timing and terms of the next financing a key test.

• How agentic AI shopping changes consumer staples: P&G CFO

  P&G reported strong first-quarter earnings and reiterated its full-year revenue forecast. In an interview with Yahoo Finance, CFO Andre Schulten said that people using its products remains the core of the business, but the consumer's path to purchase is changing as AI agents buy on people's behalf, so P&G is proactively working out how agent-to-agent marketing works and how to distribute brand information. He said the company is also using decades of collected data and simpler algorithms to speed up molecule discovery, automate data extraction and analysis, and make forecasting more efficient. On marketing, he said algorithms weigh credibility, so P&G plans to publish and make accessible its scientific publications, independent studies and consumer reviews, an approach he believes gives big brands an advantage.

• SpaceX Just Became an AI Company. The Numbers Prove It.

  SpaceX reported third-quarter revenue up 161% year over year to $14.6 billion and net income of $4.4 billion, making it profitable. Its AI segment, now called 'super intelligence (SI),' generated $7.6 billion in revenue, up 830% year over year and 195% sequentially, making it just over half of sales and the largest revenue source. Connectivity remains the most profitable segment with $2.4 billion in operating income, versus $431 million for SI, which lost $1.26 billion last quarter. SI accounted for $16.4 billion of the company's $19.6 billion in Q3 capital expenditures, but the results should ease concerns that it is a money pit, as cloud agreements with Alphabet and Anthropic and $608 million of Cursor revenue since its August acquisition show the investments are paying off. The author notes the stock remains richly valued.
