- Chairman of Kosy Group and related companies have KOS shares forcibly sold
Kosy Group chairman Nguyễn Việt Cường and two related companies, Kosy Real Estate Investment and Leo Regulus Investment, had KOS shares forcibly sold by securities firms through margin liquidation. Cường's holding fell by 175,287 shares between 19 and 23 October 2026, lowering his stake from 33.17% to 33.09%. Kosy Real Estate Investment sold 445,500 shares, cutting its stake from 4.26% to 4.05%, while Leo Regulus sold 175,870 shares, reducing its stake from 10.251% to 10.17%. Kosy Group attributed KOS's five consecutive limit-down sessions to a market downturn, brokerages reducing margin lending and forced selling, and said its core business operations remain on schedule.
- 25 Consecutive Limit-Down Sessions: Provincial Real Estate Firm Stirs Market
Kosy (HOSE: KOS) closed at 5,050 dong on 23 October, its 25th consecutive limit-down session, down more than 82% from 32,950 dong on 16 September, and its market capitalisation fell from about 7,133 billion dong to 1,257 billion dong. The family group of Chairman Nguyễn Việt Cường holds over 134 million shares, or more than 62% of the company, and some of these shares are pledged as collateral for bank loans. From late September to mid-October 2026, securities firms carried out forced sales of over 561,000 of Cường's shares, nearly 763,000 shares linked to Kosy Real Estate and about 4,700 shares linked to Leo Regulus. Forced-sale attempts for over 8.6 million shares held by Vice Chair Nguyễn Thị Hằng and 9 million shares held by Deputy General Director Nguyễn Thị Phương Thảo failed due to weak demand. Kosy attributes the decline to weak market conditions, lower liquidity, investor sentiment and securities firms cutting margin lending, and says its core real estate, renewable energy and project operations are proceeding as planned.
- Doctorate-Holding Chairman Repeatedly Hit by Forced Margin Share Sales
Kosy Chairman Nguyễn Việt Cường has had shares sold under margin forced liquidation again, the second time in under a month, as KOS extends a run of limit-down sessions. From 19 to 23 October 2026 he lost 175,287 shares, cutting his stake from 33.17% to 33.09% of charter capital, bringing his total sold across recent periods to 736,951 shares. Two related entities, Kosy Real Estate Investment Co., Ltd. and Leo Regulus Investment JSC, were also sold 445,500 and 175,870 shares. KOS closed at 5,050 VND on 23 October, its 25th consecutive limit-down session and more than 82% below 32,950 VND on 16 September. Kosy attributed the pressure to weak liquidity, selling sentiment and some brokers cutting margin lending ratios and liquidating positions, while its reviewed H1 2026 net profit of over 15 billion VND, up about 121%, was only near 13% of its full-year plan.
- Chairman With a PhD Sees Shares Force-Sold by Securities Firm
Kosy Chairman Nguyen Viet Cuong (PhD) had 560,854 KOS shares force-sold by a securities firm between October 7 and 13, 2026, reducing his stake to about 33.17% of outstanding shares. A related entity, Kosy Real Estate Investment Co., Ltd., also had 8,000 shares force-sold on September 29 and from October 1 to 5. KOS has hit the floor price for 17 consecutive sessions, closing at 8,960 dong, with 75.6 million shares (about 35% of the company's total) offered at the floor and almost no buying demand. Kosy attributes the slide to momentum selling and to some brokers cutting margin lending ratios and forcing sales, while stating that its core real estate, renewable energy and project operations remain on plan. Its reviewed mid-year 2026 consolidated financial statements show revenue of nearly 723 billion dong (up 9%) and after-tax profit of over 15 billion dong (up about 121%), only about 13% of the 120 billion dong full-year target. Hoang Thi Yen, sister-in-law of Chairman Cuong, has registered to buy 8 million KOS shares from October 15 to November 13, which would raise her stake to about 3.71%.
- KOS Extends Floor-Price Streak to 29 Sessions, but Not a Record: This Is the Name With the Most Dramatic Floor-Price Losing Streak in Vietnam's Stock Market History
Shares of Kosy JSC (KOS) have hit the floor price for 29 consecutive sessions, falling nearly 90% in about six weeks and wiping out thousands of billions of VND in market capitalization. The slide came as securities firms repeatedly force-sold shares held by several executives and organizations linked to Kosy. KOS has not broken the record of 34 consecutive floor-price sessions set by CDO in 2016–2017, though FTM (30 sessions, 2019) and ATG (29 sessions, 2016–2017) also had long streaks. The article notes that when margin-selling pressure hits thinly traded stocks, investors may find it very hard to exit their positions, even after steep price declines.
- KOS unexpectedly hits ceiling price after 29 consecutive floor-price sessions, record liquidity of over 74 million units
KOS (HOSE) rose to the daily ceiling price of VND 4,060 per share in the morning session on 30/10, ending a streak of 29 consecutive sessions at the floor price since 21/09, with more than 74.1 million shares matched, the highest volume in the company's history. Before that, the stock had lost more than 87% of its value, falling from VND 30,050 per share on 21/09 to VND 3,800 at the close on 29/10, which shrank market capitalisation from over VND 6,000 billion to nearly VND 880 billion. Several executives and related entities, including Chairman Nguyễn Việt Cường, were repeatedly subject to forced margin sales by securities firms, cutting his stake to 33.09% of charter capital. In its explanations, KOS said some securities firms had cut prices and demanded collateral disposal within a short period, leaving the company without time to arrange funds, and maintained that its core operations showed no unusual changes. For the first half of 2026, the company reported net revenue of VND 722 billion and profit after tax of nearly VND 15.4 billion, but has not yet published its Q3 financial statements.

- Pentagon urges Baltic NATO members to stop 'provoking' Russia
According to four sources close to the matter, US Under Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby has privately urged officials in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia to refrain from 'provoking' Russia, and pressed Estonia to be cautious in its public statements. The Pentagon declined to comment on the private exchanges, and it is unclear whether other NATO allies received similar warnings. The message follows sharp rhetoric from Baltic leaders, including Estonia's prime minister comparing Vladimir Putin to a 'cornered rat' and Latvia's foreign minister accusing Russia of 'state-sponsored terrorism' over an explosive-laden drone found at a German airport, which Putin denied. The development comes as Washington temporarily eased sanctions to allow Russian diesel imports after a 9 October call between President Trump and Putin.
- AMZN Q3 deep dive: cloud surge and AI investments drive mixed market reception
Amazon's third-quarter 2026 revenue rose 12.1% year on year to $201.9 billion, in line with the $202.3 billion analyst estimate, while GAAP EPS of $1.89 missed the $1.96 expectation by 3.4%. Operating margin widened to 13.9% from 9.7% a year earlier. AWS grew 39.3%, its fastest pace in nearly five years and an acceleration for a sixth straight quarter, driven by AI infrastructure demand and custom chips such as Trainium and Graviton, which saved customers more than $2 billion in Q3 alone. Management expects next-quarter revenue of about $243.5 billion and said it believes AWS can grow north of 40% in 2027 and 2028, although near-term profitability may fluctuate with higher operating costs. Prime members ordering groceries with same-day delivery have tripled, and advertising growth is expected to return to the high teens after a slowdown tied to Prime Day timing.

- Arctic Giant: What the West “Doesn’t Want to Reveal” About Russia’s Northern Border Region
An RT article argues that Russia, which holds about 53% of the Arctic coastline, sees major economic, commercial and military potential in the region amid competition with the West. As ice melts, Moscow aims to turn the Northern Sea Route into a profitable trade link between Europe and Asia, while the Arctic is warming nearly four times faster than the global average. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas described the region on October 20 as the “frontline of global power competition” and accused Moscow of militarizing it, while Russia denies threatening anyone and says NATO is escalating tensions. Estimates of undiscovered but recoverable resources put the Arctic at about 90 billion barrels of oil and 1,669 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and Russia was the first country to formally submit an extended continental shelf claim to the UN in 2001.
