Vietnam's National Assembly approved the investment policy for Gia Bình International Airport in Bắc Ninh city, about 40 km from Hanoi, on December 11, 2025. The project covers over 1,884 ha, larger than Nội Bài (about 1,500 ha), and will become the largest airport in the North. Total investment is about 196,378 billion VND (nearly USD 8 billion), with a 4F scale and a 70-year operating term, designed to handle about 30 million passengers and 1.6 million tonnes of cargo a year by 2030, rising to about 50 million passengers and 2.5 million tonnes by 2050. Construction needs 1,200 to 1,500 workers, mainly local, and about 10,000 jobs are expected once operating, with at least 30% local labor; a road linking Gia Bình to Hanoi broke ground on December 19, 2025, while Hải Phòng is seeking investors for a roughly 46.55 km road linking Lạch Huyện port to the airport, with preliminary investment of about 43,743 billion VND.

- Construction stocks plunge: when will the big names bottom out?
- Over 3,000 km of Ho Chi Minh Highway from Cao Bang to Ca Mau nearing completion
On the morning of 18/10, Minister of Construction Tran Hong Minh, on behalf of the Prime Minister, reported on implementing National Assembly Resolution 66/2013 and concluding investment in the Ho Chi Minh Highway, a 3,183 km route from Pac Bo (Cao Bang) to Dat Mui (Ca Mau). The project is expected to be substantially completed end to end at a minimum 2-lane scale by the end of this year, using National Highways 32 and 21. So far, 2,488 of the 2,744 km main route is complete, 168.5 km across three projects is under construction, and 777.5 km has been upgraded to expressway standard. The National Assembly's Committee on Science, Technology and Environment said the project is 6 years behind the 2020 target, with the Rach Soi - Ben Nhat and Go Quao - Vinh Thuan sections pushed to Q1/2027. The committee urged the government to reconcile project data, quantify extra costs from the delays, and assign responsibility to each agency.
- 40,000 workers built a mega airport 8.6 times the size of Noi Bai, costing VND 450,000 billion and 52,000 tonnes of steel
Beijing Daxing International Airport opened on 25 September 2019 after nearly 5 years of construction, about 46 km south of central Beijing to ease pressure on the capital's main airport. Total investment is estimated at about US$17.47 billion, or over VND 450,000 billion, with roughly 40,000 workers involved. The starfish-shaped terminal covers about 700,000 m², with the farthest gates about 8 minutes' walk from the check-in area, and its steel roof structure weighs more than 52,000 tonnes. The project area of about 47 km² is roughly 8.6 times the 544 ha (5.44 km²) Noi Bai currently uses, though the article stresses this compares project scope with used area, not actual construction footprints. In its initial phase, Daxing has four runways with capacity for 72 million passengers and 2 million tonnes of cargo a year.
- Over 10,000 workers mobilized to build a 520,000-billion-dong super airport nearly twice the size of Noi Bai: 180 million cubic meters of earth and rock dumped into the sea for runways
Kansai International Airport sits on artificial islands in Osaka Bay, about 5 km offshore, built from 1987 and opened in September 1994. For the first 510-hectare island, contractors built an 11 km seawall and dumped 180 million cubic meters of earth and rock into the sea, using over 10,000 workers, about 80 ships and over 10 million work-hours in three years. Soft ground made the island sink an average of 13.72 m at 17 monitoring points through December 2025, though settlement now slows to about 5 cm a year. A second island of about 545 hectares brought the combined planned area to about 10.5 km², nearly twice Noi Bai's 544 hectares. Total construction costs rose from about 14 billion USD to 20 billion USD by 2008, roughly 520,000 billion dong.
- Emergency Halt to Construction of Airport 3 Times Larger Than Noi Bai, 402,000 Billion VND Investment, 7,178 Piles Already Driven
Mexico's New International Airport (NAIM) in Texcoco, east of Mexico City, covers about 4,431 hectares, nearly three times the size of Noi Bai, and was expected to serve up to 125 million passengers a year. Under the 2018 plan, initial investment was about 285 billion pesos (402,000 billion VND), and 7,178 piles had already been driven under the passenger terminal. The project was halted after Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who won the 2018 election, opposed it over high costs and financial and environmental concerns, following a public consultation in October 2018. The airport never handled a commercial flight, and Mexico turned to converting the Santa Lucía military airbase into Felipe Ángeles International Airport.
- Groundbreaking for a mega-airport 5.5 times the size of Noi Bai postponed; VND 283,000 billion investment, still targeted for completion in 2032
Groundbreaking for the main works at the Port Polska airport in Poland was postponed from September to November due to delays in construction permits, and experts warn the main foundation permit may not come until December at the earliest. The delay stems from incomplete documentation, especially the environmental impact report for the railway station, which must still pass review and public consultation. The airport is expected to cover about 3,000 hectares, roughly 5.5 times the size of Noi Bai, and the infrastructure programme to 2032 is budgeted at 131.7 billion zloty (about VND 870,000 billion), with 42.7 billion zloty (about VND 283,000 billion) for the airport itself. Work on site continues with 154 workers and 50 machines, but the tender for the passenger terminal was pushed to October 30 and one of five bidding consortia has withdrawn. The government still aims to open the airport in 2032.

- Netflix stock is down roughly 25% in 2026 as Q3 earnings loom
Netflix (NFLX) reports third-quarter results after the bell on Tuesday, with the stock down more than 25% this year and closing Friday near $70, versus $93.76 at the end of 2025. Investors are worried about slowing viewership, competition from YouTube, and live sports moving to Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max. Last week Netflix cut about 6% of its workforce (roughly 1,000 employees) and named Peter Rice its new chief content officer, and five firms lowered price targets in October. Analysts expect EPS of $0.82 on revenue of $12.88 billion, up about 12% from a year earlier, in line with Netflix's own forecast. KeyBanc's Justin Patterson wants more content investment, product changes, expense cuts and a possible first-ever dividend.
- Cleveland-Cliffs Jumps 10% on Strongest Quarter in Three Years; Nucor and Steel Dynamics Edge Higher
Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) rose 10% to $13.29 after reporting third-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $612 million, beating its $575 million guidance and up sharply from $143 million a year earlier. Revenue of $5.61 billion missed the $5.72 billion expected, though sales rose 18.6% year over year on a higher average net selling price of $1,177 per ton and larger shipments. Management said imports remain well below historical levels, but it indefinitely idled the galvanizing lines at its Canadian unit Stelco due to oversupply. The company guided to about $715 million of adjusted EBITDA in Q4 and said 2027 adjusted EBITDA should exceed $4 billion based on current index price forecasts. Its target is to bring net debt to EBITDA below 2.5x by mid-2027.
- Tech rebounds as semiconductor stocks jump: AlphaCheck
Stocks were mostly higher on Monday as investors turned their focus to earnings season, with semiconductor stocks rebounding after last week's sharp sell-off.

- AI capex may be Meta's biggest earnings test
Meta Platforms (META) reports third-quarter earnings after the close on Wednesday, alongside a wave of Big Tech peers. The GAAP EPS estimate is $3.54, though that figure may be messy because a legal settlement will be included and analysts differ on how it will be accounted for. Options imply a 3.2% move in either direction, the smallest since the fourth-quarter report before last. Estimates for next year's capex vary widely: Wedbush near $250 billion, Evercore ISI $210 billion, Bank of America $205 billion and Dan Ives around $194 billion. Most analysts say that spending is acceptable if Meta provides a Muse roadmap and confidence it can monetize it, and the stock is up about seven and a half percent year to date.
