- Foreign investors record longest net-selling streak in two years
Foreign investors net sold more than VND 770 billion today, extending a 16-session selling streak with a total outflow of about VND 22,800 billion (US$900 million), the longest such run since 2024. Year to date, they have withdrawn VND 116,000 billion (US$4.5 billion), close to the record US$5.1 billion sold across the market last year, and their ownership on the HCMC exchange has fallen to about 13% from 15% a year earlier. Experts attribute the outflows mainly to opportunity costs and global capital shifting toward markets with stronger earnings growth, along with active funds taking profits to rebalance after buying ahead of the market upgrade. The VN-Index fell for six straight sessions to close at 1,704 points, and some analysts warn it could slip toward the 1,680 zone. Observers expect roughly US$2.7 billion in passive FTSE Russell-tracking inflows to be disbursed next year, which could halt the outflow trend.

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.

- What Could X-Energy (XE) Gain From Its 960MW Indiana Nuclear Project?
X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site.

The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
