Kosy (KOS) shares have hit the floor price for 20 straight sessions, falling about 80% in a month, with floor sell orders reaching 91 million shares on October 16, or 42% of outstanding shares, while total matched volume that day was under 20 thousand shares. The company blamed weak market sentiment, shrinking liquidity and securities firms cutting margin lending and conducting forced sales, while saying its core real estate, renewable energy and project operations are running normally. Forced sales also hit chairman Nguyễn Việt Cường and related entities, leaving him with 33.17% of charter capital after 560.8 thousand shares were sold. Meanwhile, Ms. Hoàng Thị Yến, the chairman's sister-in-law, registered to buy 8 million shares, but trading data suggest she has not yet paid.

- Panic Shows No Sign of Ending: 35% of Company's Shares Offered at Floor Price, Almost No Buyers
Shares of Kosy (KOS) have hit the floor price for 17 consecutive sessions, dropping to VND 8,960 on October 13, with 75.6 million shares offered at the floor price, roughly 35% of the company's shares, yet almost no buyers. The pressure stems largely from margin-call sales of shares held by Chairman Nguyễn Việt Cường and related parties, which has made it hard for securities firms to liquidate collateral. Kosy says the market is falling on momentum and some brokers cutting margin ratios and forcing sales have added selling pressure, while its core businesses remain on plan. Its reviewed semi-annual 2026 report shows revenue of nearly VND 723 billion (up 9%) and after-tax profit of over VND 15 billion (up about 121%), only about 13% of its full-year target of VND 120 billion. Ms. Hoàng Thị Yến, sister-in-law of Chairman Cường, has registered to buy 8 million KOS shares from October 15 to November 13, which would raise her ownership to about 3.71%.
- Azerbaijan hosts rare summit of both converging and opposing Middle East and Asian leaders
Leaders from Middle Eastern and Asian countries, including some that are in conflict with each other, gathered in Baku for the 7th CICA Summit, a forum focused on confidence-building, conflict resolution, transport connectivity and digital transformation. Attendees included Israeli President Isaac Herzog, the Emir of Qatar, the UAE’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and a Palestinian delegation, alongside leaders from several Asian countries. Tensions surfaced when delegations from Turkey, Iran, Kuwait and Pakistan left the hall during Herzog’s address, while Qatar, the UAE and Bahrain stayed. Kazakhstan’s President Tokayev proposed a CICA transport connectivity strategy, and Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan opened a Trans-Caspian fibre-optic cable linking Asia and Europe through the Black Sea, while Uzbekistan’s President Mirziyoyev called for an “infrastructure of trust” built on transport and energy projects.
- PLP Placed Under Trading Restriction, Chairman Sends Open Letter to Shareholders
HOSE moved PLP shares from the control list to the trading restriction list effective 23/10, because the company was more than 45 days late in filing its 2026 semi-annual reviewed financial statements. Chairman Lê Mai Thanh Phương had earlier sent an open letter to shareholders, attributing the delay mainly to a later-than-planned audit contract with the new auditor UHY, and said PLP aims to publish the statements in October 2026. The letter said nine-month revenue is estimated at 2.42 thousand billion VND, up 25%, with sales volume of about 3.6 million m2. The company also cited positive signals, including the SPC flooring plant being about 60% filled to design capacity and contracts with United Weaver and Flooring Partner, and said it sees the episode as a chance to tighten governance discipline and transparency.
- Wall Street Bets Big on AI at Six - Year Highs as Nearly Half of Fund Managers Predict a 2027 Crash
Bank of America's October 2026 fund manager survey shows the share of managers overweight technology rising to 37% from 30%, the highest since August 2020, even as about 45% expect an AI bubble by 2027. Ray Dalio has called the boom a “classic bubble” nearing its breaking point. Morgan Stanley projects AI-linked global bond issuance to approach $570 billion in 2026, nearly double last year's full-year pace, as Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta, which are projected to spend $700 billion on AI infrastructure, increasingly turn to debt markets. Hyperscaler capital expenditure is expected to pass $1 trillion by 2027, while U.S. federal debt crossed $40 trillion on August 19, 2026. The article frames the earnings reports from Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, Amazon and Apple during the week of October 26–30 as a test of whether debt-financed AI is generating real commercial returns.

- 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.
- Asian shares mostly decline after AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street

- 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. Under the joint development agreement, Amazon would provide development funding and commit to a long-term power purchase. The article says the deal offers commercial validation for X-Energy's reactor platform rather than immediate financial relief, as the company, with a $4.3b market cap, reported $150.28 million in revenue, a $448.87 million loss, and a 20.2x price-to-sales ratio. The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
