- Many bank stocks are as cheap as leafy greens despite trillions of dong in quarterly profits
At the November 2 close, 14 of 28 listed bank stocks tracked traded below 15,000 dong, with PCB, VAB and PGB under their 10,000-dong par value. The low prices persist even as many banks report strong results, such as BVBank's nine-month pre-tax profit of over 825 billion dong, up 90%. The main cause is the long-running practice of paying dividends in shares and issuing large bonus shares, which raised the outstanding share count of 27 banks from about 40.7 billion to 108.9 billion over nearly six years, with reference prices adjusted down accordingly. If profit grows slower than the share count, earnings per share (EPS) can fall, and Techcombank's reference price was adjusted from 33,500 dong to about 21,500 dong after a 50% stock dividend. Another factor is the broader downtrend in the stock market.
- 26/10: What to read before stock trading opens?
VN-Index rose nearly 4%, or over 68 points, in the week of October 19–23 to 1,774 points, approaching the 1,775–1,800 resistance zone, and the strategy for the coming week favors waiting for a pullback rather than chasing prices, with a preference for stocks that posted strong Q3 results. Corporate bond outstanding has surpassed the 2021–2022 peak, while public bond issuance has reached its highest level ever. Brent oil rose to nearly $117 a barrel, a six-month high, while gold briefly dipped to $4,000 and the Dow Jones lost more than 650 points on October 23 as selling spread beyond tech stocks. The government expects 2027 state budget revenue of VND 3,334.3 thousand billion, up about 9.1% from the estimated 2026 figure. The Government Inspectorate has proposed investigating Petimex for selling about 185 million liters of fuel without invoices, worth more than VND 2.84 thousand billion.
- Good News for Vietnam's Stock Market
MBS says the 68-point rise in VN-Index last week confirmed a short-term bottom around 1,700-1,720 points, despite pressure from a global sell-off in AI stocks and Brent crude nearing USD 117 per barrel. The index gained about 4%, its strongest weekly rise since the start of the year, and ended a four-week losing streak. Under Official Dispatch 9736/NHNN-CSTT, commercial banks must cut deposit rates for terms of six months or more by at least 0.5% a year, and several major banks have launched preferential loan packages with rate reductions of about 1.5-2% a year. The group's reported after-tax profit for the third quarter rose 32.7% year on year, though gains varied widely across sectors. MBS says VN-Index may consolidate around 1,760-1,780 points.
- 19/10: What to Read Before Trading?

Ten companies go ex-dividend in the week of October 19–23, with Vimico standing out for an advance dividend of about 900 billion VND. Brent crude spiked to 110 USD per barrel during the October 16 session amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.

- PNJ Hits Ceiling Price as VN-Index Breaks Out of Red Zone
The VN-Index reversed to close 2.13 points (0.13%) higher at 1,691 points on October 20, ending a decline, though it did not regain the 1,700-point level lost in the previous session. PNJ hit its daily ceiling price of 19,750 dong per share ahead of an extraordinary shareholders' meeting expected on October 21. The company plans to propose revising its 2026 business plan to a post-tax loss of over 6,270 billion dong, due to provisions of over 7,000 billion dong related to a goods exchange policy, and to seek approval for a private placement of up to 550 million shares to professional investors. Steel stocks led gains, with SMC at its ceiling and NKG up 5.7%, while VHM fell 4.1% and foreign investors were net sellers of nearly 275 billion dong.
- Securities firm reveals 8 notable stocks suitable for investing in November
MBS says the market could see a technical rebound after two consecutive monthly declines in September and October, noting that November has risen in 70% of the past 10 years, with an average gain of 3.8%. The VN-Index is still 51.78 points (3.1%) above its October low, but many sectors have fallen below that bottom, and excluding Vingroup-linked stocks, the rest of the market has already broken it. The report lists eight stocks, including HPG, MWG, TCB, VCB, STB, VHM, GVR and TCX, which MBS sees as having factors supporting business performance through late 2026 and beyond. Hòa Phát (HPG) posted Q3 2026 net profit of 8,217 billion VND, up 106% year on year; Techcombank (TCB) reported pre-tax profit of 10,375 billion VND, up 25.8%; and Vinhomes (VHM) saw Q3 revenue and net profit rise 420% and 453%.

- Intel foundry push faces critical test after stock's 45% plunge in October
Intel shares plunged 29% on Friday, their worst day since the 1970s, after the company forecast this quarter's revenue would be $1 billion to $2 billion below analysts' estimates amid a weak PC market hit by rising memory costs. The stock had already dropped 45% in October, the steepest monthly decline on record according to FactSet. Despite spending a large chunk of its $108 billion in capital expenditures over about five years to challenge TSMC in foundry, Intel still has no marquee customer for its most advanced chips. Data center revenue rose 78% to $7.3 billion in the third quarter, but Intel says it can't make enough chips to meet demand and is shifting some Oregon capacity from 18A to the older Intel 3 node, which could complicate efforts to win outside foundry customers. CEO Lip-Bu Tan said “a couple customers” would be announced within the next two quarters.
- Prediction: Nov. 3 Will Be a Huge Day for the Stock Market
On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, midterm elections will determine whether Republicans keep control of Congress or Democrats gain enough seats to check President Donald Trump's agenda. With 49% of the S&P 500 tied to AI, the outcome could have an outsized effect on the stock market. According to Capital Group, the S&P 500 has gained an average of 15.1% excluding dividends in the 12 months after midterm elections since 1950, and markets tend to favor the stability that divided government brings. Because data center builders rely heavily on borrowing, bond yields shape AI spending: larger players like Meta and Amazon might pull back, while smaller, indebted firms such as CoreWeave and TeraWulf could struggle to get financing. The author notes Democrats have been more opposed to data center construction, so a Democratic sweep could bring more regulatory difficulty for AI, and argues that Treasury yields may reveal more than the S&P 500's moves.
- Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) Delivers Strong Azure Growth as AI Demand Exceeds Supply
Janus Henderson's Global Sustainable Equity Fund returned 1.86% in the third quarter of 2026, matching its benchmark and outperforming the IA Global peer group's 0.38%. In its investor letter, the fund highlighted Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), where revenue rose 18% to $90 billion and Azure growth accelerated to 43% from 39%, with management forecasting around 45%. Copilot reached 30 million seats after adding 10 million in the quarter, and management committed to remaining free cash flow positive through fiscal 2027. The letter said demand for Azure continues to exceed supply. Over one month the stock fell 2.21%, closing at approximately $521.19 on October 29, 2026, with a market cap of about $3.82 trillion, and traded between $349.20 and $551.15 over the past 52 weeks.
- Scott Galloway: Zuckerberg Is “Clearly Coming for YouTube” and Its 16% of TV Time
Instagram is testing “Features,” horizontal videos up to 90 minutes long, with a small group of creators in Brazil and the US, and its app is now available on Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Google TV and Samsung sets. Scott Galloway argues Meta is targeting YouTube, which he estimates accounts for 16% of TV viewing time, twice Netflix's 8%. He sees Meta's 3 billion users and AI-driven algorithm as a real opportunity, although Meta stumbled with long-form video through IGTV and has not said how it will share ad revenue with creators as YouTube does. Meta's revenue topped $200 billion in 2025, and analysts expect it to reach $373 billion by 2028, while management expects 2026 capex of $135 billion to $145 billion. Excluding a legal charge, Meta's third-quarter operating margin was 35.4%, down from 40.1% a year earlier.
- Coca-Cola Is the Most Boring Stock I Own. After 64 Years of Dividend Raises, I'll Never Sell.
The author holds Coca-Cola as nearly 5% of their portfolio, their fourth-largest position, and says they have no plan to sell. Coca-Cola has raised its dividend for 64 consecutive years, qualifying it as a Dividend King, with a forward yield of 2.3% versus 4.9% on the 10-year Treasury and a trailing payout ratio of 62%. Its capital-light model, which sells concentrates and syrups to bottling partners, helped it spend 79% of free cash flow on dividends over the past 12 months, while rival PepsiCo operates at lower margins by bottling its own drinks. Over the past 30 years, Coca-Cola's total return including reinvested dividends was 720%, below the S&P 500's 1,750%, though the author believes returns should smooth out over the coming decades.
- The 3 Best Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks to Buy in November
After late-October earnings reports, shares of Amazon and Alphabet sold off, and the author believes the market is missing the bigger picture for both. Google Cloud's revenue grew 103% in the third quarter, lifting Alphabet's overall growth to 25%, yet the stock fell over 10% the day after earnings. AWS grew 39% and accounts for 63% of Amazon's operating profit, so faster AWS growth should lift operating profit faster than revenue. Nvidia told investors to expect 70% revenue growth in 2027 following its second-quarter report, while trading at 26 times trailing earnings and 13 times next year's earnings. The author argues that if Nvidia returned to its current 26 times earnings level, the stock would need to double.
