- State Bank of Vietnam Deputy Governor Pham Tien Dung: No one can succeed standing alone
At a seminar on the morning of October 14 in Hanoi, organized by Tien Phong newspaper and NAPAS, Deputy Governor Pham Tien Dung stressed that digital transformation matters only when it improves people's real-life experience. He recalled how his family in 2019 had to go through a discharge payment process at Bach Mai Hospital that took about 1.5 hours and left patients exhausted, whereas the Bach Mai Care app now integrates appointment booking, advance payments and drug purchases on one platform authenticated via VNeID. He argued that digital payments underpin healthcare, tax, transport and tourism services, calling for fewer unnecessary steps, a complete legal framework and stronger customer protection. He also warned that fast-evolving AI and technology are bringing increasingly sophisticated cybercrime.

- Boeing Fell Back Below $200 Ahead of a Strike Deadline. Here's Why I'd Buy the Fear After New Contracts Were Signed
Boeing averted a strike earlier this month after new contracts were signed with 17,000 engineers and technical workers represented by SPEEA. Still, its shares are down 11.3% over the past month and 26.7% from their 52-week high. The defense side stands out: the U.S. Navy picked Boeing over Northrop Grumman for the sixth-generation carrier-based fighter, likely delivering in the 2030s, and the Air Force chose Boeing to develop the F-47 to replace the F-15. The commercial business has weighed on the stock, with supply chain problems for the 737 and an autopilot software glitch that triggered a sell-off on Sept. 28. The author sees the decline as an opportunity and cites Barclays analyst Anthony Valentini naming Boeing a potential winner in an industrial revolution scenario.

- Amazon stock pops after Morgan Stanley details 5 catalysts, lifts price target
Morgan Stanley named Amazon a top pick and raised its price target to $350 from $335, implying about 40% upside from Friday's $250 close. The bear and bull cases are $220 and $410, a 3:1 risk-reward ratio. Analyst Brian Nowak outlined five catalysts: faster AWS revenue growth (47% in 2027 and 42% in 2028), AWS operating margins of 42% and 44%, more visibility into Bedrock, gains from AI shopping, and robotics that could save $2 billion to $4 billion a year for every 10% of units moving through automated fulfillment centers. The firm raised its capex forecast to $355 billion for 2027 and $365 billion for 2028. The stock is up about 11% this year but sits roughly 10% below its early August high.
- Should You Buy Meta (META) Ahead of Earnings?
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) reports Q3 results on Oct 21, and the stock is among the top 10 holdings in Trump's latest portfolio, where its biggest trade in the Oct 8 filing was a purchase of $5 million to $25 million on Aug 21. Bulls say AI is boosting Meta's ad business: in Q2, ad impressions rose 14%, the average price per ad rose 12% and revenue grew 28%. Bears point to rising capital spending, nearly vanished free cash flow and a Q2 earnings miss of about 14% from legal and severance charges, while Muse brings in little revenue so far. The number of hedge funds holding Meta fell from 262 to 254 in Q2, and the stock fell after each of its last two earnings reports. The article notes analysts expect Q3 revenue growth of about 24% with EPS below last year, and suggests either buying a small starter position before the report or waiting for it.
- Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel Just Took a Page Out of Warren Buffett's Playbook, Plowing $930 Million Into a 'Wonderful Company at a Fair Price'
CEO Greg Abel has put $930 million into Bending Spoons, a company that acquires, optimizes and reinvests in digital businesses, including $600 million in its July IPO and a further $330 million later, lifting Berkshire's stake to about 4%. Bending Spoons has acquired 50 businesses since 2013, including AOL, Eventbrite and Vimeo. In the second quarter, revenue rose 126% to over $704 million, diluted EPS grew 163% to $0.28, and adjusted operating margin reached 54%. The IPO price was $29 per share and the $330 million purchase was at $33, while the stock now trades near $54.50, a market cap of nearly $35 billion and about 39 times forward earnings. The article argues this reflects Buffett's principle of buying a wonderful company at a fair price, though the stock is no longer a bargain.
