Ha Tinh recorded 12.36% GRDP growth in the first nine months of 2026, ranking second nationally, mainly driven by industry and large complexes such as Formosa. Formosa paid VND 74,400 billion in taxes over 2015–2025, while workers in the province's economic and industrial zones rose from 19,500 in 2021 to 29,100 in 2025. Enterprise net revenue reached VND 806,537 billion in 2021–2025, but the share of profitable businesses fell from 60% in 2011–2015 to 43%. FDI firms accounted for 55% of revenue but contributed only about VND 25 billion of profit, with most profit coming from domestic private firms. The plan also notes weak links between local firms and FDI or large enterprises, while 98% of the 10,850 operating businesses are small and medium-sized.

The article also notes that HCMC's 2025 GRDP reached about VND 3.03 million billion, or 23.5% of Vietnam's GDP, and that in the first nine months of 2026 the city attracted over USD 17.8 billion in FDI, 4.2 times the same period last year.

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang received Citigroup CEO Ernesto Torres Cantú at Government headquarters on the afternoon of October 16.

He asked Citibank to help build international financial centres in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang and to convey Vietnam's goodwill to the U.S. government on quickly finalising a reciprocal trade agreement. Torres Cantú said bringing international investors to Vietnam is Citigroup's mission, adding that the group is seeking funding for Vietnam's energy sector and will work with the Ministry of Finance on sovereign credit ratings.
- HCMC tracks growth progress every two weeks
At a nine-month review on Oct. 15, HCMC Party Secretary Trần Lưu Quang asked sectors and localities to plan growth contributions to reach 13.23% in Q4, after 9.06% in the first nine months and a full-year GRDP target of 10.2%, with reports every two weeks on growth, public investment disbursement and budget revenue. Bright spots include retail and consumer services up 13.8%, tourism revenue up 43.4%, and FDI of over US$17.8 billion, up 323%. However, the city must disburse about VND 36,104 billion more in Q4 to meet its full public investment target, and agencies are urged to resolve land and environmental hurdles for businesses. Officials also propose a year-end “5-in-1” program linking shopping, entertainment, tourism, e-commerce and digital payments to boost consumption.
- Proposal to let the Government decide on extraordinary investment incentive and support packages
A draft amendment to the Investment Law, presented to the National Assembly by Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn, would widen market access for foreign investors and add incentives to promote the green and digital economies. The draft adds 4 new forms of investment support: supply chain development, high-tech product manufacturing, fixed-asset investment, and business cooperation with universities, vocational schools and science and technology organisations, plus exemptions or reductions of sea-area use fees. Under the proposal, the Government could decide on extraordinary incentive packages tied to foreign-invested firms' commitments on technology, R&D, local value added, and green and digital transformation. The Economic and Financial Committee asked that the power to loosen market-access conditions be carefully weighed and that criteria for special incentives be set out in the law itself.

Tô Lâm urged Danish firms to shift from “investing in Vietnam” to “investing together with Vietnam,” deepen ties with local companies and bring research and production to Vietnam.

- Biotech stocks are surging. How investors can play the new drug innovation boom
Biotech stocks are rallying: the iShares Biotechnology ETF (IBB) is up 24% through October 23, after a 28% gain in 2025, with two dozen of its 233 holdings more than doubling year-to-date. Moderna leads with a 587% surge, though its stock fell 18% after a leak of positive cancer-vaccine trial data. Analysts attribute the rally to clinical trial results, M&A, and technologies such as mRNA, genomics and AI, with about a dozen novel biologics approved by the FDA in 2025 out of 46 approvals and roughly 66 novel drugs in the pipeline. The Moderna–Merck melanoma drug showed a 42% reduction in recurrence or death when combined with Keytruda in Phase 3 and is targeted for FDA submission and launch in 2027. Gene-sequencing firm Illumina more than doubled this year, and 10x Genomics rose more than 300%.
- SpaceX's "Super Intelligence" Segment Just Made the Stock a Must-Own
SpaceX's 'super intelligence' (SI) segment, formerly its AI business, generated $7.56 billion in Q3 revenue, up 830% from $813 million in 2025 and well above $2.56 billion in Q2. Most of the growth came from AI models, including subscription platforms, and infrastructure, which rose from $2.56 billion to $7.02 billion; X ad revenue grew from $454 million to $538 million. The segment's capital expenditures reached $16.4 billion in the quarter. The author views the stock as attractively priced at current levels if growth continues, but argues that such a pace may be hard to sustain, and the stock gave back its roughly 10% post-earnings gain by Thursday.
- Top Blockchains Continue to See Rapid Growth in AI Agent Payments. This Is the 1 Crypto You Need to Buy Right Now.
Chainalysis reported 138.5 million payments on Base using x402, a payment protocol built for AI agents, up from 58,800 transactions as of Q3 2025. Over 87% of x402 transactions were between $0.0001 and $0.10, sizes too small for traditional networks like Visa and Mastercard because of fees and chargeback risk. Solana ranks second in x402 volume, has overtaken Base in daily activity at several points this year, and launched batch settlement, which BlockRunAI says saves more than $20,000 a month in fees. However, TRM Labs counted $52.7 million across 198.9 million settlements since March 2025, with about $25.6 million plausible after removing suspicious activity, so agent payments are not yet driving much economic activity. Solana's stablecoin supply hit a record $17.3 billion in September, and the token trades about 64% below its January 2025 high of $293.
- 5 of the Fastest-Growing Stocks in the Market
The article ranks five fast-growing stocks by latest-quarter revenue growth: Nebius Group (NBIS), CoreWeave (CRWV), AppLovin (APP), Robinhood Markets (HOOD) and IREN (IREN), and examines what investors are paying for that growth. Nebius's second-quarter revenue jumped 454% year over year to $582.3 million, but at a price-to-sales ratio (P/S) of about 46, the highest of the five, its growth is largely funded by cash, customer prepayments and outside financing. CoreWeave's revenue rose 112.5% to around $2.6 billion, backed by a $104 billion revenue backlog, and it trades at 6.0 times sales, but $640 million in net interest expense means its growth relies heavily on debt. AppLovin grew revenue 53% to $1.9 billion, funded by its own profits and cash, at about 16 times sales, while Robinhood's revenue rose 32% to a record $1.3 billion at about 23 times sales, though trading activity can fall sharply when markets cool. IREN's total revenue fell 26.7% to $137.2 million as Bitcoin mining declined, while AI cloud revenue grew tenfold to $70.5 million at about 19 times sales; the article suggests AppLovin could be the safest option because its growth is funded by profits.
- Down Roughly 50% From Its Highs, Is Netflix Stock Finally a Buy?
Netflix (NFLX) shares have fallen roughly 50% from their all-time closing high of $133.91 on June 30, 2025, following the company's third-quarter report. Before the report, Netflix fired its chief content officer and announced its largest layoff since 2022, hiring former Disney executive Peter Rice as it struggled to produce U.S. blockbuster shows. In Q3, revenue rose 12% to $12.87 billion and adjusted EPS jumped 49% to $0.87, above the $0.82 analyst estimate compiled by LSEG. Netflix guided Q4 revenue to $13.4 billion but trimmed full-year revenue to $51.1 billion and cut its ad revenue forecast from $3 billion to $2.7 billion due to a slower ad rollout. The article argues that at a forward P/E of about 17 times 2027 estimates, the valuation now looks attractive.
- US objective is no more oil, nuclear issues, its total destruction of Iran: Foreign Affairs Expert Waiel Awwad
Foreign affairs expert Waiel Awwad told ANI that Washington's aim on Iran goes beyond nuclear talks to regime change and the disintegration of Iran, making Israel the dominant regional power. As crude oil reached USD 117 a barrel, the highest since April, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed full control of the Strait of Hormuz, saying two supertankers carrying more than 4.5 million barrels struck naval mines on an unauthorised southern route. Iran's Chief of the General Staff Ali Abdollahi said Iran would not allow US military vessels into the Persian Gulf and questioned Trump's claims that Iran's nuclear facilities were destroyed. Separately, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Reliance's Jamnagar refinery in India, where US Ambassador Sergio Gor said US LPG made up 67% of India's imports, up from below 10%.
