Profile of a Port Tycoon Newly Appearing at Eximbank: Invests Over VND 700 Billion in GEX and VIX Shares, Borrows VND 2,800 Billion from Eximbank, Acquires Real Estate Firm with Many Projects Partnering with GELEX

Viconship (VSC) appears for the first time on the list of shareholders holding at least 1% of Eximbank (EIB), with over 18.7 million shares, or 1.01%. As of June 30, 2026, the company held GEX and VIX shares with a cost of nearly 716 billion VND and a fair value of about 790 billion VND, while its Q2 report showed no EIB shares. Viconship also owed Eximbank roughly 2,856 billion VND in long-term loans, with initial interest rates of 7–10% per year, and owed VIX 322 billion VND in short-term borrowings. Its board approved a deposit agreement to acquire 100% of the capital of Viconship Industrial Infrastructure and Real Estate Co., Ltd (BDSV) for no more than 1,100 billion VND, and BDSV had previously co-invested with the GELEX ecosystem in infrastructure companies.

  • Five real estate firms plan to buy a large stake in a bank

    Five real estate companies, including I.P, Lý Thanh Sao, DTH, Vượng Phát and Phương Đông, have registered to buy nearly 269 million shares in PVcomBank (PCB) private placement of 300 million shares at VND 13,628 per share, for an expected total of about VND 3,666 billion. If the offering is completed, it would raise about VND 4,088 billion and lift the bank's charter capital from VND 9,000 billion to VND 12,000 billion. The five firms account for about 89.7% of the shares offered and would hold over 22% of charter capital after the issue if all registrations are fully executed. Lý Thanh Sao previously had a transaction with PVcomBank involving a receivable of over VND 5,536 billion, which the company fully paid on January 23, 2026.

  • Most important is controlling prices of social and rental housing; the high-end segment can follow market demand

    At the Group 3 session, Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng asked National Assembly deputies to keep contributing to the draft amended Law on Property Auctions, focusing on four issues: the scope of application and selection of auction organizations; participation, bidding and deposits; online auctions and bid increments; and cancellation of auction results and protection of bona fide buyers. For auctions of land-use rights, the process must be linked to the land pricing mechanism under land law. The Prime Minister stressed that the most important goal is controlling prices of social housing, rental housing and housing for policy beneficiaries and low-income people, preventing abnormal and unreasonable price spikes. The high-end segment can develop according to market demand, while related laws must be harmonized.

  • Prime Minister: Prices of social housing and rental housing must not rise unreasonably

    Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng called for tight control over the prices of social housing and rental housing so that low-income people and policy beneficiaries can access homes without unreasonable or sudden increases. Speaking during a National Assembly group session on the draft amended Law on Asset Auctions, he said auction procedures must be carefully reviewed against related laws, including the Land Law, Housing Law and Real Estate Business Law. He noted that auctioning land-use rights is key to allocating land to investors, and localities will set land price frameworks and adjustment coefficients. He also warned that unclear or incomplete implementing rules would make it hard for localities to apply the law.

  • Ho Chi Minh City Party chief urges businesses to pay Tết bonuses in November or December

    Ho Chi Minh City Party Secretary Trần Lưu Quang said the city encourages businesses to pay Tết bonuses in November or December 2026, so workers can shop early and avoid last-minute rushes. Instead of simply displaying goods, the city aims to put money in people's hands through e-commerce, digital commerce, the MoMo e-wallet and buy-now-pay-later credit packages with banks, alongside major music and entertainment events. He said hotels, shops and food stalls at Bến Thành Market have grown busier, though no detailed statistics are yet available, and many large hotels will cut room rates until year-end. The city is auctioning land plots worth over VND 90,000 billion but will hold off on sales if prices fall short of expectations, saving resources for 2027 and beyond. It is also speeding up public investment disbursement and capital for BT projects.

  • Voters worry about exam cheating; land-title certificate procedures still delayed

    Ms. Bùi Thị Minh Hoài, Chair of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, reported at the opening of the National Assembly session that the Front received 2,814 voter opinions nationwide and 2,805 via its 24/7 Front platform. Voters are concerned about sophisticated online scams that use AI to impersonate people and steal data, counterfeit goods and unsafe food, exam cheating, pollution, fire and traffic risks, and delays in land-use certificate procedures caused by unsynchronized infrastructure and data. The Front recommended faster digital infrastructure and data sharing, decentralization with matching resources for local governments, improved land and housing policies, and easier credit access for SMEs. It also urged stronger action against online fraud, counterfeit goods, and fire and traffic safety risks.

  • What Happened to $1,000 Invested in Microsoft Before Its Cloud and AI Boom?

    According to the article, $1,000 invested in Microsoft 10 years ago would now be worth $10,023.10 (a 902.31% total return), versus $3,606.80 in the S&P 500 over the same period. The 5-year lead is much narrower ($1,800 vs. $1,705.90), while over the past year Microsoft trailed the index ($1,043.30 vs. $1,161.60) as capex grew faster than revenue. Fiscal 2026 revenue reached $331.84 billion (up 17.79%), but capex rose 79.62% to $115.95 billion, pushing free cash flow down 6.46%. The article says the outlook hinges on whether Azure, which grew 43% last quarter, keeps outpacing the spending behind it.

  • Investment summit: German government strikes AI deal with Nvidia

    At the Invest in Germany summit in Berlin, the federal government reportedly struck an AI cooperation deal with Nvidia, with a federal contribution to the partnership. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said it pained him to see Germany fall behind, yet he still believes in the country, and around a dozen German firms including Siemens and Audi are expected to join the project. Chancellor Merz urged companies to open their industrial data for AI to safeguard competitiveness in sectors like automotive. Amazon plans to invest around 16 billion euros in Germany in 2027, including 4.8 billion euros for AWS mainly in the Frankfurt am Main region. The IMF now forecasts 1.3 percent growth for Germany in 2026, up from 0.7 percent previously.

  • Stocks try for back-to-back gains — plus, Qnity gets iPhone business from Apple

    U.S. stocks were higher Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq poised for back-to-back gains, as most major companies beat estimates and raised full-year guidance, though market reactions were mixed. Apple expanded its partnership with Qnity Electronics under its American Manufacturing Program, with Qnity producing advanced films for the variable aperture camera system in the iPhone 18 Pro; Qnity joined the program in March. Jim Cramer's Club calls the news incrementally positive but is not buying more shares, placing greater emphasis on Qnity's fast-growing data center business than on consumer electronics. Capital One reports after the bell, while Netflix, SpaceX and United Airlines also report Tuesday evening, and Meta reports Wednesday evening.

  • Housing is flashing warning signs just as the Fed weighs more interest rate hikes

    The U.S. housing market weakened further in September even as price pressures persisted, complicating the Federal Reserve's decisions on whether to raise interest rates. The 30-year mortgage rate was above 7% for most of September and ended the month around 7.6%, and could rise further if the Fed hikes short-term rates as expected. The National Association of Realtors' pending sales index fell 7.3% for the month and was 11.3% lower than a year earlier, an all-time low in records dating to 2001. Privately owned housing starts dropped 5.2% on a seasonally adjusted annualized basis, far worse than the expected 0.4% decline, while Goldman Sachs expects affordability pressures to dominate the housing market in 2027.

  • Skydance Rises 5% as Steep Post-Merger Slide Pauses; Disney Gains 2%, Netflix Slips

    Skydance shares rose 5% to $7.15 as the steep slide since its Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition closed on October 6 paused, while Disney gained 2% to $111.41 and Netflix slipped 0.62% to $69.42. The Communication Services Select Sector SPDR ETF was up just 0.1% and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust rose 0.4%, so the Skydance move looks company-specific. The article notes Skydance now houses Paramount+, Pluto TV, Paramount Pictures, the CBS network and the Warner Bros. Discovery studios, making integration of film, TV and streaming operations the next key test. A single up day, however, leaves most of the post-merger decline in place.
