- A bank stock being continuously net-bought by securities firms' proprietary trading for hundreds of billions of dong
Proprietary trading desks of securities firms net bought VND 424 billion on HoSE, while the VN-Index fell 14.55 points (-0.85%) to 1,704.87, its fifth straight session of decline. Foreign investors net sold about VND 782 billion across the market. VPB was the most heavily net-bought stock at VND 227 billion, marking the third consecutive session it topped the list. In contrast, TCB saw the largest net selling by proprietary desks at VND 88 billion.
- Margin lending relative to market capitalization hits a new record: what is happening?
Total lending at securities firms, including margin loans and advances on sales, is estimated at about VND 455,000 billion at the end of Q3/2026, up VND 10,000 billion from the previous quarter, equal to roughly 5.1% of the market capitalization of the two exchanges and the highest level in history. Meanwhile, HoSE's matched trading value averaged only over VND 13,403 billion per session in September, down more than 60% year on year, and the VN-Index fell nearly 4.7% in Q3. Bùi Văn Huy, General Director of FIDT, says most margin balances are likely in bespoke “deal” loans where shares serve as collateral, though public data cannot precisely determine the share. Balances are concentrated among 18 securities firms with lending above VND 10,000 billion, about two-thirds of which have bank backing. The article also notes that margin balances have grown roughly in line with foreign investors' cumulative net selling of about VND 350,000 billion over roughly the past five years.
- A Hidden Risk Behind Record Margin Lending Balances
According to FiinTrade, margin loan balances at 78 securities firms (covering about 99.6% of industry equity) reached over VND 457,500 billion at the end of Q3/2026, up VND 56,400 billion (14.1%) from the end of 2025 and the highest level in the market’s history. Meanwhile, average daily trading value in Q3 was only about VND 14,800 billion, down 22.6% from the previous quarter and 63.6% from a year earlier. The ratio of margin debt to free-float-adjusted market capitalization was about 14.2%, versus 5.6% in 2020 and 8.8% at the 2022 peak. General Director of FIDT Bùi Văn Huy said most of the current margin volume appears to come from privately negotiated “deal” loans, though public data does not yet show their exact share. He noted that when shares are pledged as collateral, their prices may be affected by the financial condition of borrowing shareholders, and such debt generally does not appear on listed companies’ balance sheets.
- Behind ACBS's Q3/2026 profit: Room for margin growth and a solid financial base
ACBS's margin lending balance reached about VND 22,600 billion as of 30 September 2026, up 30.5% since the start of the year, the highest growth rate among the top 10 brokerages by market share. Accumulated nine-month interest income from loans and receivables was about VND 1,578 billion, double the same period last year and 40.5% of total operating revenue. The margin loan-to-equity ratio stood at about 150%, below the 200% limit, and is estimated to fall to about 133% after ACB raised ACBS's charter capital from VND 11,000 billion to VND 13,000 billion. The FVTPL portfolio had a fair value of about VND 6,539 billion, with stocks making up 22.5%; its fair value was about VND 249 billion below cost, with stocks accounting for a negative gap of about VND 220 billion. Cash, cash equivalents and HTM holdings totaled about VND 14,170 billion, or 32.4% of total assets, well above the roughly 10.67% average of the top 10 brokerages.
- Industry Profits Plunge and Investors Lose Money, Yet Securities Firms Earn Heavily From Lending
Industry-wide profit for securities firms in Q3/2026 fell 42% year on year to about VND 11,000 billion, while average matched trading value on HoSE dropped to VND 13,000-14,000 billion per session, less than half of last year's level. In contrast, interest income from lending and receivables across the industry reached a record VND 12,300 billion, up 34% year on year and rising for 11 consecutive quarters. The main drivers were margin lending outstanding of VND 455,000 billion, of which VND 440,000 billion was margin, the highest ever, along with high interest rates. The article notes that this is gross income rather than net income, since firms still bear funding costs for the lending business, and that gains are uneven, with firms backed by banks such as TCBS, VPBankS and ACBS leading.
- Margin lending by securities firms hits new record of VND 463 trillion
Margin lending by securities firms reached a record VND 463 trillion at the end of Q3 2026, up 2% from Q2, mostly margin loans. Trading value on HOSE and HNX fell to about VND 18.1 trillion per session from VND 23.3 trillion in Q2, yet industry lending revenue rose 6% quarter-on-quarter to VND 12.9 trillion. TCBS remained the largest with VND 54.7 trillion, VPBankS was second with VND 39.9 trillion, and VPS's balance fell 18% to VND 25.6 trillion. Interest expenses rose at VPBankS (VND 864 billion, up 9%), SSI (nearly VND 850 billion, up 5%) and LPS (VND 396 billion, up 14%), while TCBS cut its interest costs 2% to nearly VND 876 billion.

- Zcash co-founder proposes ending grants funding, citing $125 million treasury
Zcash co-founder Sean Bowe proposed ending the automatic allocation of 8% of newly created ZEC to the Zcash Community Grants (ZCG) program and redirecting it to a reserve for future mining rewards. He estimates ZCG has about $125 million available after existing commitments, enough to cover years of spending, while the program's expenses were just over $1.5 million in the first quarter, about $6 million annualized, versus roughly $68 million a year in inflows. The proposal comes amid criticism of ZECsy, a team that demonstrated private payments at an adult-industry convention; it requested $550,000, and the committee approved about $461,500 for startup funding and the first nine milestones. Bowe's draft does not cite that grant, has no activation date, and would require a change to Zcash's network rules.
- Just raised $40 billion to buy GPUs, Elon Musk warns more than 200 AI companies face being wiped out: Money is the cause
Elon Musk said SpaceX has raised $40 billion to buy AI chips, while warning that more than 200 neocloud companies could be forced out or merged because of difficulty accessing borrowed capital. He explained that SpaceX can still borrow thanks to its investment-grade credit rating and revenue from Starlink and rocket launch services; the debt mainly funds GPU purchases, expected to be delivered in Q1 and Q2 2027. The article notes that the cost of insuring against default for some neocloud firms has risen recently, while tenants are demanding penalties of over $5 million per day if developers fail to deliver power and infrastructure on time, up sharply from about $1 million at the start of the year. CoreWeave's unsecured bond yield was cited at around 15%. Musk also said some companies will survive the difficulties, though not many.

World gold is at USD 4,009 per ounce, up USD 11, equivalent to 125.9 million VND per tael, while domestic silver bars fell 1 million VND per kg to 45-47 million VND per kg, down 76 million from the start-of-year peak of 123 million VND per kg.

- Investors: Oct. 28 Will Be an Important Day for the Stock Market. Here's Why.
Several key events this week include earnings reports from Amazon and Microsoft and the Federal Reserve meeting on October 28. The Fed raised its target federal funds rate to 3.75% to 4% in September, its first increase in three years, but Chairman Kevin Warsh's decision not to provide forward guidance leaves the market without clear direction. CME FedWatch shows a 90.6% probability that rates stay unchanged, though September CPI rose 3.7% year on year, which could change expectations. If the Fed holds rates steady, the market may see minimal reaction, but another hike could trigger a sharper negative response given it would be higher and unexpected.
- Serbia says it will not impose sanctions on Russia
A representative of the 'Student List' movement said Serbia will maintain its long-standing relationship with Russia and will not impose sanctions on Russia. Preliminary results of the October 25 parliamentary election show the student-led opposition won 52.73% of the vote, defeating the SNS party of former president Aleksandar Vucic, who conceded defeat but warned Serbia could abandon its resistance to EU pressure and sanctions on Russia within months. Russia remains Serbia's main gas supplier, covering about three-quarters of demand, and a preferential supply deal has been extended through the end of 2026. The Kremlin said it hopes to keep a mutually beneficial relationship with Serbia.
