Retail tycoon puts over 19,000 billion VND into bonds, with an 'unknown' over 6,000 billion VND flowing into diversified companies

As of the end of Q3 2026, Mobile World Investment (MWG) held over 63,000 billion VND in cash, deposits, bond investments and loans, about 60% of total assets, slightly down from Q2 mainly due to lower cash. Bond investments rose by over 4,000 billion to more than 19,100 billion VND, while outstanding loans fell from over 7,100 billion to about 4,100 billion VND. MWG mainly invested in bank, securities, real estate and diversified-company bonds, with holdings in the latter up about 4,600 billion since the start of the year, though the company did not detail these bonds. Its financial investment activities brought in 381 billion VND in profit in Q3, up 23% year on year, while record quarterly profit after tax exceeded 3,500 billion VND, nearly double the prior-year level. For the first nine months, net revenue reached 147,827 billion VND (up 30%) and profit after tax 9,634 billion VND (up 93%).

  • Surprising Profits at Bách Hóa Xanh in Q3

    According to MWG's consolidated financial statements for Q3 2026, the Bách Hóa Xanh chain remained profitable in the quarter, so the tax losses carried forward it used to offset taxable income rose by about 563 billion VND to nearly 1,469 billion VND as of September 30, 2026.

  • Fed holds rates steady despite concerns over inflation

    The Federal Reserve kept its benchmark overnight funds rate in the 3.75%-4% range, as widely expected, after raising it by a quarter percentage point in September, and said inflation remains elevated. Governor Lisa Cook and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack dissented, both wanting a quarter percentage-point hike, while Logan and Kashkari, who had dissented in July, joined the majority. The administration has restarted its effort to remove Cook after the Supreme Court halted earlier attempts, with a hearing scheduled for early November. Activity was described as expanding at a strong pace, and futures pricing pointed to a strong possibility of another hike in December, while Chairman Kevin Warsh has avoided providing forward guidance. Inflation by the Fed's preferred gauge is expected to be above 3% for September excluding food and energy, while the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow tracker points to 3.4% annualized growth in the third quarter.

  • Bessent: Stablecoins will help cement dollar dominance

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking at Ripple's Swell conference on October 27, said digital assets could reinforce the dollar's global position. He argued that stablecoin issuers could become the most reliable buyers of U.S. Treasuries as foreign governments buy fewer, and that easy access to dollars helps people in countries with hyperinflating currencies. He also said the Treasury could coordinate with the SEC and CFTC on crypto rules and advocated safeguards against crypto de-banking. The host noted the remarks were made to a crypto audience.

  • GE Vernova shares slip despite a beat-and-raise. What the sellers are getting wrong

    GE Vernova shares fell on Wednesday despite the gas turbine maker beating expectations and raising its full-year outlook. Third-quarter revenue rose about 27% to $12.64 billion, above the $11.99 billion LSEG estimate, while EPS jumped 193% to $4.81 versus a consensus of $3.94. The company also agreed to buy Trench Group, a privately held maker of electric-grid equipment. The sell-off appears linked to guidance that fourth-quarter gas turbine pricing per kilowatt will be below third-quarter levels and to uneven quarterly growth in Gas Power in 2027, even as backlog rose from 116 GW to 122 GW and management expects 130 GW by year-end. The author argues the decline is too critical and does not reflect the company's underlying business strength.

  • Reddit Fell 5% on Slower-Growth Fears. The October 29 Outlook Decides Whether the Multiple Holds

    Reddit (RDDT) shares fell 5% on Monday as worries about slowing growth weighed on the stock ahead of its third-quarter report, due after the close on Oct. 29. Reddit beat the top of its revenue guidance by $58 million to $80 million in each of the last three quarters, but the article argues the fourth-quarter outlook will determine whether the valuation holds. Third-quarter revenue guidance is $860 million to $870 million, up 47% to 49%, below the 61% growth in the second quarter, and consensus implies fourth-quarter revenue of roughly $1.05 billion to $1.06 billion to reach $3.39 billion for 2026. At 16x forward earnings, Reddit trades at the bottom of its one-year range against an average of 26x, and analysts have raised their 2027 earnings estimate 25% since the end of 2025. The author flags U.S. daily users above the second quarter's 53.2 million as the key risk, since a strong guide may not save the multiple if that figure slips.

  • Apple announces $2,899 MacBook Pro — its first touchscreen laptop

    Apple launched the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, its first MacBook with a touchscreen, using an XDR OLED panel with better colors and brightness than standard LCD displays. It comes in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes, starting at $2,899 and $3,199, and can be configured with M5 Pro or M5 Max chips. Those prices include a $300 increase Apple implemented in June due to a global memory and storage shortage. The article notes that rivals such as Microsoft, HP and Dell added touchscreens to their laptops years earlier, and Apple had previously dropped its Touch Bar after it failed to gain traction. Mac sales were $33.7 billion of Apple's $416.1 billion in 2025, making it the fourth-largest segment by sales.
