FPT shares fell 4.74% to VND 50,200 per share on November 2, their lowest level in three years, and the stock has lost over VND 120,800 billion in market value since early February 2025, even as profit kept growing double digits. Pressure has come from sustained foreign net selling, with over 210 million shares (nearly VND 17,000 billion) sold in the first 10 months of 2026, and concerns that AI could reshape traditional software outsourcing, a worry that also weighs on peers such as Infosys and Accenture. Yet FPT posted record Q3 2026 profit attributable to parent shareholders of VND 2,723 billion, and nine-month profit reached VND 7,778 billion, up 13.3%. Vietcap Securities forecasts FPT's profit growth at an average of 14% a year over 2026–2029, below the 22% recorded in 2021–2024.

- Sorrow for Technology Stocks on Vietnam's Stock Market
Leading technology stocks on Vietnam's exchange, including FPT, CMG and VNZ, have all fallen sharply from their record highs. FPT's market capitalization is about VND 105,000 billion, its lowest since August 2023; CMG is trading near its lowest level since September 2021; and VNG's market value is about VND 16,000 billion. The article says the rapid growth of AI, especially cheaper AI models that reduce demand for outsourcing services, may be one reason foreign investors have pulled back, with FPT net sold by more than VND 16,000 billion since early 2026, the second-largest net sale on the exchange. FPT's leadership has repeatedly said AI will reshape rather than replace IT services, and the group's workforce across its ecosystem reached nearly 90,000 people as of 30 September 2026, up 3,682 from the end of 2025.
- Foreign Investors Keep Selling FPT Shares, Still Holding Over 455 Million Shares
Foreign investors have net sold FPT for 8 straight sessions through October 28, dumping nearly 211 million shares worth 16,500 billion VND year to date, and still hold over 455 million shares. Foreign ownership has fallen below 27%, the lowest in years, leaving a record foreign room gap of over 22%. The stock closed at 54,000 VND, half its early-2025 peak, with market capitalization of about 100,000 billion VND. In the first 9 months of 2026, FPT reported revenue of 40,023 billion VND (up 12.4%) and pre-tax profit of 8,770 billion VND (up 17%), with the Technology segment contributing 89% of revenue and 58% of pre-tax profit. Overseas IT services revenue reached 28,538 billion VND (up 11.6%), and new contract bookings rose 23.1% to 36,137 billion VND.
- FPT Shareholders' Bitter Streak: 3 Weeks Without a Green Session as Shares Hit 3-Year Low
FPT shares have not closed in the green since September 23, and on October 13 they fell 1.4% to 56,300 dong, their lowest close since early November 2023, as foreign investors net sold about 107 billion dong. Since the last gain on September 22, the stock has lost 10,300 dong per share, nearly 16%, cutting market capitalization by more than 19,400 billion dong to about 106,200 billion dong. Year to date, foreign investors have net sold about 188 million shares worth over 15,200 billion dong, leaving foreign room near 21%. BSC warns FPT could fail to meet the criteria to remain in the VN-Diamond basket if foreign ownership does not improve. Meanwhile, pre-tax profit for the first 8 months rose 17.5% to 7,648 billion dong, a contrast with the share price trend.
- Vietstock Daily 03/11/2026: Pressure Closes In
The VN-Index fell 1.77% to close at 1,710.72 points on November 2, its third straight session of losses and approaching the July 2026 low zone of 1,650–1,680 points. Foreign investors net sold over VND 523 billion on HOSE. The VN30-Index dropped 2.24% to 1,813.41 points, with 27 stocks declining; VCB was the biggest drag, removing 4.58 points from the VN-Index, while FPT fell 4.74%. On the technical side, the VN-Index broke below the middle Bollinger Band as the Stochastic weakened after leaving overbought territory, and the MACD narrowed toward its signal line. On the HNX-Index, a Death Cross has formed between the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, and the May 2026 low of 245–250 points is flagged as a notable support zone.
- Former stock market stars: from "hold and win" to trading at a third or a fifth of their peaks
The article looks at former 'star' stocks DGC, PNJ and FPT, which have either fallen sharply or failed to regain their previous peaks. DGC rose strongly in 2020–2021 on the commodity cycle, but by mid-August had fallen more than 44% year-to-date after management-related events; it now trades at 33,300 VND per share, with market capitalization below 13,000 billion VND. PNJ dropped 82% from its peak 9 months earlier amid the diamond crisis, trades at 15,500 VND per share, and risks a record loss of nearly 6,300 billion VND in 2026 as it sets aside over 7,000 billion VND in provisions. Foreign investors have net sold heavily, pushing PNJ's foreign ownership down to about 26%. FPT has been in a prolonged correction despite business results still growing at a double-digit rate, as foreign investors have pulled back.
- Weekly review: VN-Index 'gives back' points as cash flow retreats to defensive stocks
The VN-Index lost 32.53 points (1.83%) to close the 26–30 October week at 1,741.62, reversing the roughly 4% (over 68 points) gain of the prior week, with red dominating 4 of 5 sessions. HOSE trading volume fell 9.9% week-on-week, while foreign investors net sold VND 2,692 billion, led by FPT at VND 782 billion. PNJ slid 3.43% to VND 15,500 after reporting a Q3 after-tax loss of VND 258 billion, and MBS announced a margin-related sale of 2.17 million PNJ shares held by the daughter of the chairwoman. BSC sees 1,735 points as a key support level, while SHS says investment opportunities remain limited and prioritises risk control over expanding positions. Dominic Scriven of Dragon Capital says upgrading the market's status is key to attracting international capital as large inflows shift toward technology and AI.

- Why Big Tech stocks should be priced more like utility companies
The discussion argues that AI has pushed Big Tech toward a business model closer to utilities, so investors may price the sector accordingly. Although earnings were not poor, they were not enough to support the market, as investors now ask who will profit, what margins look like, and when the promise of AI will be fulfilled. A widely shared X post argues that AI requires heavy upfront spending, long payback periods and profits tied to keeping infrastructure running, so the economic moat has shifted from code to cash. The speakers see utilities as cash generators rather than growth stocks and suggest Big Tech may become a hybrid, but Barron's Al Root called the view a familiar argument that AI monetization may not justify the spending.

- 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.

- Why investors are dumping tech stocks, in one image
The article argues that tech stocks are falling for fundamental reasons: free cash flow at Big Tech leaders is drying up while capital expenditure rises sharply, leading investors to question whether this ratio is out of line with more realistic AI growth projections. According to The Kobeissi Letter, combined capex at Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft rose $36.9 billion in the third quarter to $201.9 billion, more than doubling over 12 months and up 356% since the first quarter of 2024. Combined free cash flow of the four fell $33.1 billion to a negative $26.4 billion, its lowest on record, and only Microsoft reported positive free cash flow. The strategists estimate the companies will spend another $232 billion on capex in the fourth quarter, and that Big Tech has spent $1.6 trillion on capex over the last three years. The AI trade slid on Friday, wiping out more than $1 trillion in market value.
