Vingroup is considering a $500 million investment in an electric vehicle plant in the Philippines, according to the country's Ministry of Trade and Industry, and has not yet commented. The project could start construction in the first quarter of next year and take 1.5 years to complete, with capacity of about 200,000 vehicles a year for domestic and export markets. The ministry said it would offer support including tax incentives under the CREATE More Act and faster permit processing. In the first half of the year, VinFast booked nearly VND 53,200 billion in revenue, up 61%, and delivered about 128,685 electric vehicles globally, up 77%, but still posted a net loss of nearly VND 28,400 billion, narrower than the loss of over VND 38,300 billion a year earlier.

- Holding 20% of a 9,170-hectare Hanoi megaproject, VinFast leadership comments on possible expansion into real estate
VinFast completed the purchase of 100% of the economic interest in Ngọc Hồi Real Estate Investment JSC from Phạm Nhật Vượng and two minority shareholders, giving it a 20% stake in the roughly 9,170-hectare Global Sportia project in Hanoi, while Vinhomes holds 35%. Management says the investment could add profit and cash flow from 2027 and does not signal a strategic shift into real estate. In Q2 2026, revenue reached VND 30,300 billion, up 85% year on year, and the net loss narrowed to VND 1,400 billion thanks to liquidation gains from the VFTP transfer, though the gross margin remained at -63%. Third-party borrowings fell to VND 21,800 billion from VND 82,200 billion at end-2025, mainly because VFTP was no longer consolidated. Mr. Phạm Nhật Vượng also contributed an additional VND 20,000 billion in capital in Q3, while Vingroup's outstanding loans to VinFast reached VND 17,400 billion at end-Q2.
- VinFast delivers more than 70,000 electric cars globally; Chairman reveals plan to take new model overseas in 2027
VinFast delivered 70,085 electric cars worldwide in Q2 2026, up 20% from Q1 and 96% year on year, with international markets accounting for about 11% of deliveries. Q2 total revenue reached VND 30,340.9 billion (US$1,203.7 million), up 85.5% year on year, mainly from car sales. The company also delivered 286,039 electric motorbikes and e-bikes, and Chairman and CEO Pham Nhat Quan Anh said VinFast will keep expanding in the Philippines, Indonesia and India, with strategic steps in the US and Europe. The VF Wild range-extended model, already on sale in Vietnam, is expected to reach international markets in 2027, and as of June 30 VinFast had held the No. 1 spot in Vietnam's car market for 22 consecutive months with a share of about 38%.
- VinFast Has Found Its “Chicken” — So What Next?
VinFast's growth is opening opportunities for Vietnamese supporting-industry firms to join the auto supply chain more deeply, helping to break the “chicken-and-egg” deadlock between assemblers and suppliers. However, having a large customer does not mean an industrial ecosystem has formed, so lead enterprises must guide markets, technology and production organization to connect and upgrade the entire network. At Vingroup's supplier development conference on October 16, Ms. Thái Thị Thanh Hải, Vice Chairwoman of Vingroup, said any process VinFast performs itself can be transferred to qualified suppliers, including machinery and equipment. Vingroup also proposed that one lead supplier coordinate the enterprises further down the chain, while VinFast helps suppliers improve quality management and sometimes sends experienced technical staff to solve production problems.
- In Just 3 Months, a Vietnamese Company Delivers 70,000 Cars to Customers Worldwide
VinFast delivered 70,085 electric cars in Q2 2026, up 20% from Q1 and 96% from the same period in 2025, according to its unaudited financial report. Total revenue reached VND 30,340.9 billion (about USD 1,203.7 million), up 85.5% year on year, with car sales revenue of VND 28,833.1 billion, up 92.7%. The company attributed the growth to demand in Vietnam and rising contributions from India, Indonesia and the Philippines, while international markets accounted for about 11% of deliveries. The company delivered 286,039 vehicles in Q2, up 100% from the previous quarter and 311% from a year earlier, with electric motorbikes and e-bicycles also growing notably. As of June 30, 2026, VinFast had 474 stores worldwide and held first place in Vietnam's car market for 22 consecutive months, with a share of about 38%.
- Has VinFast found the 'chicken' to solve Vietnam's auto industry's toughest dilemma?
Vietnam's auto industry has long been stuck in a chicken-and-egg dilemma: low output discourages suppliers from investing, while a weak supporting industry keeps costs high. The article argues that VinFast's growing output could create the stable demand suppliers have been waiting for. VinFast delivered 196,919 electric vehicles globally in 2025, up 102%, including 46,977 VF 3s, and in the first nine months of the year it delivered 42,272 VF 3s and 40,018 Limo Green vehicles in Vietnam alone. The company said it added 55 domestic suppliers and localized 108 component groups in one year, and opened supply opportunities for its plants in India and Indonesia. However, suppliers still need stable, long-term orders, as well as competitive quality, cost and logistics, before they can commit to new investment.
- Supplying pallets, trolleys, steel cages... to a Vingroup company, a Vietnamese business reports revenue nearly doubling and plans two more factories next year
CNC Hà Nội, which supplies pallets, packaging crates, trolleys and steel cages, reported revenue of over 225 billion VND in the first nine months of 2026, about double the more than 110 billion VND recorded in 2025. It became a direct supplier to VinFast in 2025, having supplied the automaker indirectly through its suppliers since 2017. Its workforce has also nearly doubled, and it produced nearly 100,000 packages in the first nine months. The company plans to open two more factories in Hanoi and Hung Yen in 2027 if customer demand is strong enough, and hopes to supply VinFast's overseas plants in Indonesia and India, though these are expectations rather than confirmed orders.

- Irish central bank fines Coinbase Ireland $3.6 million over fund safeguarding failures
Ireland's central bank fined Coinbase Ireland 3.25 million euros ($3.6 million) for alleged failures to safeguard customer funds and oversee outsourced services, saying the unit relied excessively on its U.S. parent and lacked adequate systems and controls. The regulator cited a 2023 episode in which Coinbase directed 30 customers to deposit funds into an alternate account at another U.S. bank when Silvergate neared collapse, holding them alongside funds of another Coinbase entity's customers, and coding errors left a safeguarding account underfunded by an average of 0.54% in 2023 and the first half of 2024. Coinbase said no customer lost money or was unable to access funds. The penalty follows a 21.4 million-euro fine on Coinbase Europe in 2025 for anti-money laundering failures.
- XRP Is 63% Below Its All-Time High and Ethereum 51%. Which Reclaims their ATH First?
XRP trades at $1.33, 63.5% below its all-time high of $3.65 set in July 2025, while Ethereum is at $2,403, 51.4% below its August 2025 peak of $4,946, and both fell over the past month.

- Tech stocks fall as Nvidia boss warns of AI funding slowdown
US stocks fell sharply on Thursday after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang warned that a “scarcity of capital” was holding back AI rollout, fuelling worries about the cost of sustaining the AI boom. The Nasdaq 100 dropped 1.5% and the S&P fell nearly 1%. Meta shares slid 5% after it raised the lower bound of its capex guidance from $130 billion to $135 billion and issued new non-voting stock, while Tesla fell 2% after cutting its proposed AI spending from $25 billion to $20 billion.

- Musk: People Are "Buying FSD With a Car Attached." There's Only One Problem.
Tesla said 75% of its new North American deliveries in the third quarter came with an FSD subscription, up from 55% in the second quarter, and active FSD subscriptions rose 67% to 1.74 million. Tesla has not disclosed how many subscribers pay, since the first month is free. When an RBC analyst asked whether the paid rate was closer to 30% to 40%, CFO Vaibhav Taneja did not give a clear answer. The article also notes that Tesla's overall gross margin fell from 25.6% in fiscal 2022 to 18% in fiscal 2025, while the stock trades at 185x forward earnings. It argues the paid attach rate is the key figure to watch, as paid FSD revenue remains small relative to Tesla's total sales.

Host Ejaaz Ahamadeen comments on Elon Musk's proposed $16.8 billion investment in his TeraFab semiconductor manufacturing project. He argues that chips are a key bottleneck for AI, humanoid robots and cars, and that vertical integration would reduce reliance on suppliers such as Nvidia. The first phase involves $16.8 billion to reach 100,000 wafers a month before 2030, with a peak of 1 million wafers a month within 10 years and more than 3,000 jobs.
