VN-Index fell more than 32.5 points, about 1.8%, in the week of October 26–30 after a notable earlier recovery. The financial group dropped nearly 2%, with four banking stocks (LPB, VPB, TCB and BID) and securities firm TCX weighing most heavily. On the other side, VIC and VPL, both part of the Vingroup ecosystem, added 7.3 points and 1.6 points, helping the index avoid steeper losses. HNX-Index fell as much as 3.8%, about 10 points, with KSF the largest drag at 2 points. On October 30, foreign investors net sold 647 billion VND, their sixth straight session of net selling.

- Experts point to sector groups that could draw cash flow in Q4
Mr. Bùi Văn Huy, General Director of FIDT, says the recent rebound in the VN-Index has been driven largely by Vingroup-related stocks, with VIC and VHM alone adding over 21 points to the index on the 22/10 session. Cash flow remains weak, liquidity has not surged, foreign investors are net sellers and interest rates are still high, so the index's gains do not yet mean overall market health has fully recovered. For Q4, he suggests buying on market corrections rather than rushing, deploying capital gradually, limiting margin use, favoring companies with solid finances and avoiding chasing overheated blue chips. Sectors he says investors may watch include infrastructure, public investment, energy and green transition, and companies benefiting from preferential loans, while technology and digital transformation still face pressure from the global AI wave. He also stresses monitoring inflation, exchange rates and Fed policy, and reducing stock exposure if inflation gets out of control or interest rates turn upward.
- Notable Stocks to Watch at Market Open, Oct. 23
The digest reports that foreign investors net bought over 300 billion VND for a second straight session after an extended selling streak, though net foreign flows since early October remain negative by more than 6 trillion VND. VN-Index rose 46.7 points in the Oct. 21 session, driven mainly by limit-up gains in Vingroup-linked stocks. Margin lending by securities firms reached a record 463 trillion VND at the end of Q3 2026, up 2% from the previous quarter. The State Securities Commission penalized three companies listed on UPCoM over Oct. 19–20, 2026. The piece also notes that the central counterparty (CCP) clearing mechanism is expected from Q1 2027, prompting brokers to speed up their procedures.
- Large cash flows return, stock market posts strongest gain in over half a year
The VN-Index jumped 46.7 points, or 2.76%, to 1,738 points, its strongest gain since April 8. Vingroup-linked stocks VIC, VHM and VRE hit the daily limit and contributed about 35 points, while 246 stocks rose and 16 hit the ceiling on HoSE. Trading value reached nearly 18,200 billion VND, up about 43% from the 20-session average. Foreign investors ended a 20-session selling streak with net buying of about 160 billion VND, led by TCB, MSN and VIC, while FPT, VCB and ACB saw net selling. The article cautions that the index's gain depends heavily on Vingroup stocks.
- VN-Index Falls to Two-Month Low
VN-Index fell for four straight sessions on selling pressure in Vingroup-linked stocks, at one point dipping below 1,720 points to its lowest level since late July, before dip-buying pulled it back near that level. Four Vingroup stocks closed below the reference price, with VIC dragging the index down more than 10 points and VHM nearly 4 points. Oil and gas stocks were the weakest sector after oil prices fell following Trump's announcement that Russia and Ukraine agreed to halt attacks on each other's energy infrastructure; PLX and OIL each dropped about 3%, while steelmaker NKG closed up 6.9%. Foreign investors extended net selling to 14 consecutive sessions, and liquidity was about half of the previous week's final session. MB Securities' research team said October seasonality weighs on the market and advised investors to favor individual stocks with third-quarter profit growth from core operations.
- VN-Index May Return to 1,760–1,770 Points Next Week
In the week of 26–30 October, VN-Index fell 32.53 points to 1,741.62, after gaining more than 68 points the week before; the VN30 dropped 2.73% to 1,855.04 and the HNX-Index fell 1.48% to 252.74. Liquidity kept weakening, with average HOSE volume above 645 million shares per session, down 9.38% from the previous week. SHS said that in a positive scenario, VN-Index could return to the 1,760-point zone if Vingroup and other large caps keep their upward trend and banks rebound. AseanSC expects the index to fluctuate between 1,720 and 1,770 points, with nearer support at 1,715–1,730 and resistance at 1,755–1,775. Experts are watching banks such as TCB, HDB, VPB, CTG and TPB, and flag volatility around the U.S. midterm elections in November.
- Stocks Face Challenges in November: Where Will Cash Flow Find Opportunities?
VN-Index fell 32.53 points (1.83%) in the last week of October to 1,741.62, after four down sessions, while HNX-Index dropped 1.48% to 252.74, and liquidity declined on both exchanges. Cash flow has become more selective and concentrated in a few stocks with their own stories, while foreign investors continued net selling. CSI Securities expects VN-Index to fill the gap around 1,740 points, while TPS believes the short-term uptrend has not been broken. Banks are seen as a key support, with TCB, HDB, VPB, CTG and TPB among the stocks some experts highlight for November. Circular 145/2026/TT-BTC takes effect on November 16, 2026, and requires collateral for securities loans of at least 110% of the loan value.

- Could Apple's Latest iPhone Be Its Biggest Growth Catalyst in Years?
Apple has launched the iPhone Duo, its first foldable smartphone, with a starting price of about 2,000 USD. Some estimates put shipments through the end of 2026 at 6 million to 10 million units, or roughly 12 billion to 20 billion USD in revenue, with the lower end equal to 22% of Apple's latest quarterly iPhone revenue. The author notes the device may cannibalize sales of other iPhone models but could also attract buyers from rival brands, and even if every base iPhone Duo replaced an iPhone 18 Pro, revenue could still rise by about 4.8 billion USD. Foldables make up only about 2% of the smartphone market, which the author sees as room for growth. Despite supply constraints and reports of rare cracked screens, the author remains positive on Apple's long-term outlook.
- GE & GM Earnings, Plus Deals, Deals, Deals
On the Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing podcast, contributors discussed GE Aerospace and General Motors earnings amid high fuel prices, plus Salesforce's deal for Braze and Tradeweb's acquisition of Trumid. GE Aerospace beat expectations led by engines, with engine earnings 7% above consensus, spare parts up 20% and services up 17%. Although it raised full-year earnings guidance, the implied fourth-quarter outlook sits below consensus, which the guests see as a sign the cycle is in its late stage. They expect airlines may cut flight frequency to reduce maintenance costs, which would weigh on MRO providers, though freighter conversions could still support demand. The discussion of GM is cut off in the provided content.
- Why Did Alphabet (GOOGL) Shares Fall After Its $500 Billion Value Wipeout?
Alphabet (GOOGL) shares fell more than 12% after its Q3 update, wiping about 500 billion USD from its market value. Investors reacted to slower-than-expected trends in core search and advertising, along with heavy AI and data center spending that pushed free cash flow to a loss of 9.1 billion USD. Q3 sales reached 127.6 billion USD, but net income fell to 26.5 billion USD. The article says the AI-driven growth story remains intact but highlights the risk that large AI capital spending could pressure cash flow if server paybacks and TPU monetization take longer than expected. Key signals to watch include whether Google Cloud and AI revenues grow faster than AI capex and whether free cash flow improves.
- Warren Buffett's Apple Bet Is Still Berkshire Hathaway's Biggest Stock Holding at 22% of the Portfolio
Berkshire Hathaway cut its Apple stake by about 75%, from roughly 915 million shares in mid-2023 to 227.9 million shares by the end of June, worth about USD 66 billion and still around 22% of its portfolio. The author argues the sizable remaining stake reflects confidence from Warren Buffett and new CEO Greg Abel, citing Apple's record fiscal third-quarter revenue of USD 109.4 billion, up 16%, and Services revenue of USD 30.7 billion. The reduction is described as portfolio discipline, since Buffett said he sold too soon and would buy much more at the right price. Berkshire also bought about USD 17 billion of Alphabet stock in the second quarter and has not sold Apple shares since the end of 2025. Apple guided for 9% to 11% revenue growth in the September quarter, slower than the 16% in June, while the stock is near a record.
- Top 10 Banks by Profit in Q3 2026: VietinBank Overtakes Vietcombank, 6 Banks Earn Over VND 10,000 Billion
According to third-quarter 2026 financial statements, the top 10 banks by pre-tax profit earned a combined VND 87,891 billion, up 23.8% year on year and accounting for 83% of profit across 27 banks. VietinBank rose to first with VND 13,688 billion (+29%), overtaking Vietcombank, which fell to second with VND 11,218 billion (-0.2%), while BIDV passed Techcombank to take fourth place. Sacombank dropped out of the top 10 as its quarterly profit fell 51.9% to VND 1,757 billion due to sharply higher provisions, with SHB entering in ninth place. Vietcombank's provisions rose nearly eightfold to VND 6,184 billion from VND 776 billion a year earlier; Vietcap Securities estimates about VND 5,000 billion of this is a one-off provision for corporate bonds of a client reclassified as non-performing since Q4 2025.
- Why Are Electricity Prices and Gasoline Taxes Falling Together?
From November 1, the average retail electricity price falls 2% to VND 2,159.9 per kWh excluding VAT, while the special consumption tax on gasoline is cut to 0% from 10% for mineral gasoline; both measures apply until March 31, 2027. The moves aim to lower production and living costs and create room to contain inflation at year-end, as the nine-month average CPI rose 4.52% against a full-year target of about 4.5%. The government attributes the CPI increase mainly to higher oil prices from the Middle East conflict, with global oil above USD 110 a barrel in the third quarter. Nguyễn Tiến Thỏa, chairman of Hội Thẩm định Việt Nam, estimates the electricity cut could lower CPI by over 0.066 percentage points, though individual household bills depend on tariff tiers and consumption. E10 RON 95-III gasoline fell nearly VND 1,600 to VND 24,150 per litre but remains about 22% above the end of February.
