- Bank charter capital crown set to change hands: One bank poised to overtake MB and VPBank, leaving Vietcombank, VietinBank, BIDV and Agribank far behind
Techcombank has set October 30, 2026 as the final registration date for its stock dividend at a 50% ratio, under which shareholders holding 100 shares receive 50 new shares. The bank plans to issue over 3.543 billion shares, worth more than VND 35,431 billion at par value, funded by 2025 undistributed profit, raising its charter capital from VND 70,862.4 billion to about VND 106,293.6 billion. If completed, this would put Techcombank ahead of MB (VND 100,687 billion) and VPBank (VND 100,000 billion) as the largest charter capital in the system, and an ESOP issuance could bring the total close to VND 106,600 billion. Such increases help banks strengthen financial capacity and add room to meet capital-safety requirements as credit demand expands.
- HDBank continues to affirm its position as a National Brand
HDBank continues to be recognized as a Vietnam National Brand for 2026 at the ceremony on the evening of 16/10/2026 in Hanoi, alongside Vietcombank, BIDV, VietinBank and Agribank. In the first half of 2026, its total assets surpassed 1 million billion VND, pre-tax profit reached 13,202 billion VND (up 31.1%), and return on equity (ROE) hit 25.4%. S&P Global Market Intelligence ranks HDBank first among Vietnamese banks and second for operating efficiency in the Top 50 listed banks in Southeast Asia, and Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026 gave the bank three titles. Fitch Ratings, rating HDBank for the first time, assigned an internal capacity rating of bb-, the highest that agency applies to the Vietnamese banks it assesses, and the bank raised a record USD 721 million international syndicated social loan, the largest ever by a Vietnamese institution.
- Why did the stock market suddenly surge 47 points on the October 21 session?
VN-Index closed October 21 up 46.7 points (2.76%) at 1,738.67, its biggest gain in over half a year, as cash flowed into blue-chip stocks, with VIC and VHM alone contributing nearly 30 points. HOSE matched trading value rose nearly 60% from the previous session to nearly VND 18,000 billion. Deposit rates are also cooling after the State Bank asked 46 commercial banks to cut listed rates for terms of 6 months and longer by at least 0.5 percentage points a year, and 15 banks had announced cuts by the morning of October 20. CSI's Đỗ Bảo Ngọc said this may be only an early step: rate cuts need to become a medium-term trend, and trading value must stay high, before cash clearly returns to stocks. Experts note one session is not enough to confirm a lasting shift from savings into equities.
- Lending rates cut by up to 3 %, to lower borrowing costs for businesses and priority sectors
Nearly 20 Vietnamese banks have cut deposit rates, generally by 0.5 percentage points per year, while 14 lenders have announced lending rate cuts of mostly 1.5–2 percentage points, and up to 3 points in some cases. The moves follow requests from the Government and the State Bank of Vietnam to lower borrowing costs for businesses and priority sectors. VPBank cut lending rates by 1.5 points for individuals in six key sectors and allocated VNĐ10 trillion (US$380 million) to SME working capital loans, while Vietcombank offers cuts of up to 3 points on certain short-term loans. At an October 19 meeting with 46 commercial banks, SBV Governor Phạm Đức Ấn urged lower rates while safeguarding financial stability, noting that the loan-deposit gap had narrowed from nearly VNĐ2 quadrillion to under VNĐ1.5 quadrillion.
- Bridging the gap between deposit mobilization and credit growth
As of October 14, 2026, outstanding credit across the economy exceeded VND 20.72 million billion, up 11.44% from end-2025, while deposit mobilization grew 11.22% as of the October 19 meeting, lagging credit growth. The article says demand for capital is rising faster than banks' ability to raise funds, even though household deposits rose 10.63% to about VND 11.43 million billion by end-August. It warns that simply raising deposit rates could push up funding costs and make lending rates harder to cut. At the October 19 meeting, the State Bank of Vietnam asked banks to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points for terms of 6 months or more and lending rates by 1.5-2 percentage points for production, business and priority sectors. Banks including BIDV, Agribank and Vietcombank have announced support programs, but the article argues that effectiveness should be judged by how many firms actually access capital and the real reduction in borrowing costs.
- 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.

- 'People are now recognizing Nvidia's compute has a great deal of residual value,' CEO Jensen Huang tells Deirdre Bosa
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told Deirdre Bosa that Wall Street is increasingly recognizing the residual value of Nvidia's compute, which could be used to backstop the debt for building data centers. He said the company's systems are widely used, deliver strong performance and are software programmable, so they stay productive for a long time. In August, Nvidia signed memoranda of understanding with six financial institutions, including Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR, to assemble a $500 billion funding pool for data center infrastructure. Nvidia points to its 6-year-old Ampere chips still drawing customer demand, and Huang said what used to be a four-year life cycle is now probably eight years or more, which could support loans secured against the chips.
- Bitcoin and ethereum prices today, Wednesday, October 21, 2026: Crypto to outperform stocks and gold?
Bitcoin opened at $82,940.14 on October 21, 2026, up 1.3% from Tuesday's open, and rose to $83,292.55 by 7:21 a.m. ET. Ethereum opened at $2,446.67, up 1.7%, and moved to $2,459.92 that morning. Prices have moved little over the past week and a half, though JPMorgan Asset Management expects Bitcoin to outperform stocks and gold over the long term. BlackRock has separately filed for another Bitcoin ETF aimed at investors worried about sharp losses.
- Nvidia's Jensen Huang wants to build AI factories in weeks, not months
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speaking at Nvidia GTC Berlin, said the new DGX Pod is designed to build AI factories faster and more cheaply, potentially cutting deployment from months to weeks. He said a gigawatt of data center costs about $50 billion, and the 4 to 6 months from shipping components to operation could be shortened by 3 to 4 months if more manufacturing happens in the supply chain, reducing idle cash. Huang argued this would make financing easier because lenders would have more certainty about costs and when revenue starts, which matters amid market volatility over neocloud companies. He said demand is very strong, citing SpaceX, CoreWeave, Nebius and Nscale, and that the large capital tied up before revenue is the key challenge to solve.
- This is the single-biggest obstacle to a SpaceX-Tesla merger: JPMorgan
JPMorgan analyst Rajat Gupta says regulatory approval in China, rather than Tesla shareholder opposition, is the biggest obstacle to a SpaceX-Tesla merger, and the bank has sketched a TikTok-style structural workaround. Special committees have been formed at both Tesla and SpaceX to explore a combination, and JPMorgan's deal math centers on a 30-35% premium to Tesla's current market cap, which would keep Musk above 50% voting control; his TSLA voting stake was lifted to about 20% in June 2026. SpaceX is valued at about $2.0 trillion, up roughly 10% since its IPO, which Gupta calls high-value acquisition currency for an all-stock bid. China accounts for about 20% of Tesla's revenue and a higher share of its EBIT and free cash flow, but only about 10% of the bank's roughly $1.7 trillion sum-of-the-parts valuation, and Starlink has never received operating approval in China.
