Winning over Vingroup and Sun Group with concrete and special materials: Vietnamese company's profit up 136%, chairman speaks out

Song Da Cao Cuong (SCL) reported Q3/2026 profit of VND 38 billion, up 136%, on net revenue of over VND 263 billion (up nearly 98%), while gross profit margin rose from about 36% to 41%. For the first nine months, revenue reached nearly VND 666 billion (up 81%) and after-tax profit nearly VND 94 billion, already exceeding more than 110% of its full-year profit target. Chairman Kieu Van Mat attributed the results to technology upgrades, production line optimization and capacity expansion, with several new plants expected to start operations by November 2026. The company said it spent more than two years testing its products before Vingroup accepted them; Vingroup's share of its business has fallen to about 25% as customers expanded to around 10 major groups and exports began to Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines. Over the past two years, the company has invested about VND 1,000 billion in factories and technology.

  • Minister Trần Hồng Minh: Disbursing 100% of Public Investment Capital Is a Directive

    The Ministry of Construction has entered the final push of the year, determined to disburse 100% of its public investment capital plan, which Minister Trần Hồng Minh treats as a mandate and a top political task tied to evaluating each unit's performance. At a 9-month review meeting in 2026, the minister ordered departments to work directly with each project management board to identify bottlenecks, and to bar contractors who stall or lack capacity from future projects. Key challenges include shortages and volatile prices of construction materials such as fill soil, sand, stone and asphalt, as well as a lack of engineers and skilled workers. For Mekong Delta projects facing material shortages, the ministry is studying alternative technical solutions and materials. Deputy Secretary of the Government Party Committee Nguyễn Thị Tuyến urged the ministry to continue disbursement under Resolution 312/NQ-CP and asked localities to promptly issue construction material price indexes that reflect market changes.

  • Too Broken For Frontier : Indonesian Markets Suffer Worst Rout Since 1998 As MSCI Threatens The "Argentina Treatment"

    MSCI warned that Indonesia may face a two-step downgrade, moving straight from Emerging Market to 'Standalone' status and skipping Frontier, which deepened the selloff in Jakarta. The Jakarta Composite Index fell 11.6% on Friday, its biggest one-day drop since January 1998, then closed down a further 3.6% on Monday. Since its January 20 peak, the index has lost about 45%, and according to Reuters, about $350 billion in market value has been wiped out since January. MSCI cited opaque shareholding structures, suspected coordinated trading and weak enforcement; Jakarta raised the minimum free float to 15% from 7.5%, but MSCI concluded the problems were too deep for Frontier status. MSCI will announce its decision by June 30, 2027, while OJK has fined entities 2.1 trillion rupiah ($116 million) linked to manipulation in three stocks.

  • 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.

  • Frank Elderson: Interview with Die Presse

    In an interview with Die Presse, ECB Executive Board member and Supervisory Board Vice-Chair Frank Elderson argues that the 2008 financial crisis cost far more than bank regulation, and that post-crisis reforms made European banks better capitalised, more liquid and more profitable on average. He says simplification is not deregulation and notes the ECB has already cut reporting obligations and sped up processes. He identifies fragmentation as Europe's biggest competitiveness obstacle, since cross-border banking remains limited, and calls for completing the Single Market, the savings and investments union and the banking union, including a European deposit insurance scheme. He argues simplification and integration must advance together in the European Commission's banking reform package, and that Basel standards keep competition based on efficiency rather than the weakest rules.

  • Prediction: These 3 Stocks Will 10X in the Next 20 Years

    The article argues that Life Time Group (LTH), First Watch Restaurant Group (FWRG) and Freshpet (FRPT) could each rise tenfold over the next 20 years, roughly 12% a year. Life Time, which runs 195 clubs, is building bigger facilities and raised revenue per membership 11.8% in the second quarter while members grew just 1.2%, though its roughly $1.5 billion in debt and sale-leaseback deals could strain it in a recession. First Watch, with 665 restaurants in 33 states, serves breakfast, brunch and lunch and has bought back 64 restaurants from franchisees in eight deals since May 2023. Freshpet places branded fridges in stores, now nearly 40,000 of them, and according to its investor presentation, its production lines could grow from 16 to at least 24.

  • Why have fresh investments into gold FoFs been halted , and what should you do ?

    About 20 mutual fund houses have reportedly halted fresh lump-sum investments, new SIPs and top-ups into gold fund of funds (FoFs) following regulatory directives issued on 15 and 16 October. The aim is to curb gold import demand and ease rupee pressure during the festive season, while direct gold ETF investments and existing active SIPs are unaffected. Navneet Damani of Motilal Oswal said high crude prices strain the rupee and balance of payments, so gold and silver imports could be curtailed, though import duties raised from 6% to 15% have not halted inflows. Gold FoF industry size stood at ₹47,359 crore in August, down from ₹53,638 crore in March, and experts advised investing based on needs rather than FOMO. Secondary-market sovereign gold bonds (SGBs) no longer qualify for tax-free maturity gains and now face 12.5% long-term capital gains tax.
