Nguyễn Thị Bích Yến, Chairwoman of VSAP Lab, said the global semiconductor market is projected to reach 1,000 billion USD in 2026 and surpass 2,000 billion USD by 2030, opening opportunities for Vietnamese firms in areas such as chip packaging. However, international groups demand technological capability, stable mass production, transparent governance and IP protection, not just labor-cost advantages. In e-commerce, Nguyễn Ngọc Dũng, Chairman of the Vietnam E-commerce Association, said cross-border sales supported by AI allow small and medium enterprises to reach global consumers directly. Firms must still address product quality, standards, logistics, after-sales service and customer data protection to shift from price competition to competition based on quality and brand.

- ASML: A Rule Breaker Test of Lasting Leadership
The article asks whether ASML can sustain its leadership strength after longtime leaders Martin van den Brink and CEO Peter Wennink both retired in 2024. Since Christophe Fouquet became CEO, ASML has raised its 2026 sales forecast twice, to 43 billion to 45 billion euros, and it stopped publishing quarterly order numbers after 2025. The company reports earnings on Wednesday, October 14, before the market opens, with TSMC following on Thursday. The article also notes succession changes at Stryker and Workday, where co-founder Aneel Bhusri returned as CEO in February. The author suggests listening to Fouquet's comments on the next decade during the earnings call.
- Legislative Inaction on Skill Games Leaves Pennsylvania Small Businesses, Veterans, First Responders Facing Devastating Financial Consequences
The Pennsylvania Taverns and Players Association (PA TAP) said it was disappointed that the General Assembly did not pass legislation regulating and taxing skill games before the state Supreme Court's deadline. The expiration of the court's 120-day stay means all skill games must shut down from October 14, cutting off revenue that many small businesses, veterans groups, volunteer fire companies and fraternal clubs have relied on for a decade. Some American Legion and VFW posts warn they may close, and American Legion Post 927 in Gilber has canceled its annual community Thanksgiving dinner. Owners say they may have to cut staff, reduce hours or shut down, while fire departments face losing funds for payroll, lifesaving equipment and vehicle upkeep. One assistant fire chief noted that an Airpack costs over $10,000.

- Sandisk's Sales Fell 38% in the Last Flash Memory Downturn, and Its Oct. 29 Report Is the Next Test
Three years ago, Sandisk was selling flash memory below cost. In fiscal 2023, revenue fell 38% and gross margin dropped from 33.3% to 7.1%, leading to a net loss of about $2.1 billion. By contrast, fiscal Q4 2026 revenue rose 51% sequentially to $8.97 billion, about two-thirds driven by higher prices, with gross margin at 84.6%. Guidance for fiscal Q1 2027 points to revenue of $10.3 billion to $10.8 billion and non-GAAP gross margin of 83% to 85%, suggesting slower growth. The author says the October 29 report will show whether pricing still lifts revenue and whether margins hold, as TrendForce expects NAND contract prices to rise another 15% to 20% in the October-to-December quarter. Though shares sit about 30% below their 52-week high, the author argues the stock still reflects risk of falling profits and wants margins to hold through a quarter of falling flash prices before buying.

- An AI bust could come from places investors arent watching , an economist says
Concerns about an AI bubble are growing, and TS Lombard's Dario Perkins warns that investors may be overlooking other risks. Debt among smaller cloud providers, model developers and suppliers could reach $2 trillion by the end of 2027. Perkins does not see this as a systemic risk, but warns that earnings disappointments and canceled orders could ripple through the ecosystem, and that a chip glut could follow over-ordering. Much of the industry's revenue growth still comes from spending within the AI ecosystem rather than from businesses and consumers outside it. He also flags political backlash, noting that ordinary people dislike AI and nearby datacenters, and warns that one high-profile accident could turn AI toxic.
- Yen jumps after JGB auction draws big demand , euro finds relief
The yen rose 0.2% to 158.15 per dollar in Asian trading after a 20-year Japanese government bond auction drew bids of 5.84 times the amount sold, well above the 4.01 times at the previous auction, and the yield fell 6 basis points to 3.71%. A State Street strategist said the record demand suggests sidelined cash is returning and that JGBs are becoming a relative haven from political and fiscal volatility in Europe, particularly France. Anti-government protests in France prompted curfews in several cities, while Italy said it would send 500 troops after two days of unrest, and the euro rallied 0.2% to $1.1234. Elsewhere, bitcoin slipped 0.3% to $81,674.25 and ether edged down 0.2% to $2,393.21.
- Unemployment rate dips to 4 . 7 % - but vacancies hit five - year low
Vacancies fell by 21,000 to 691,000 in the three months to September, the biggest drop since the three months to March and the lowest since July to September 2014 outside the pandemic, while unemployment dipped in the three months to August. Payroll numbers were down 66,000 over the year to September. The ONS said the fall was mainly among smaller firms struggling with higher labour costs, following rises in employer national insurance, the minimum wage and workers' rights. A CBI survey found labour costs and regulations were making it harder to create jobs, and firms urged the Chancellor not to add to their burden in the October 28 Budget. ICAEW's Suren Thiru said the labour market is 'running on idle' and unemployment could climb above 5 per cent, while Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith blamed Labour's 'Jobs Tax' and red tape.
- CNBC Daily Open: Tech rebounds in the U.S., but Asia isn’t buying it yet
U.S. tech stocks rebounded as the Nasdaq Composite rose more than 1% on Monday, with Nvidia up 1.4% and Tesla up 3.8%. In Asia, however, tech shares fell on Tuesday, with South Korea's Kospi down over 4% and Japan's Nikkei 225 down 1.6%. Nvidia also unveiled plans to back four German AI startups as part of its nearly $10 billion European investment commitment. Jenny Lee of Granite Asia said Asian companies are reaching IPOs much sooner, often at four to five years old, while Jio Platforms' Indian IPO saw its anchor investor quota oversubscribed more than 30 times, aiming to raise up to 302 billion rupees ($3.2 billion). In Singapore, several agricultural stocks fell after Senior Minister K Shanmugam warned that companies would not escape responsibility for possible roles in the haze, noting seven firms had been questioned by the Singapore Exchange.
- NiSource (NI) Stock Looks Overvalued Against Its Dividend Outlook
NiSource has nearly doubled shareholders' money over the past five years, delivering a 97.6% total return, which raises the question of whether dividends can justify the current share price. The article highlights a new 20-year energy agreement with Microsoft, including customer-funded grid upgrades and long-term electric service for data centers, which may affect future capital needs and cash-flow visibility. Using a Dividend Discount Model with inputs of about $1.35 dividend per share, roughly 9.07% return on equity, a payout ratio slightly above 61%, and implied dividend growth of about 3.5%, the estimated intrinsic value sits meaningfully below the current share price of $41.95. The model still does not bridge that gap, suggesting income investors are paying a premium for a relatively steady payout with modest assumed growth.
