- Board chairman Nguyễn Hữu Chỉnh arrested, company reports surge in profit
CTCP Tư vấn Xây dựng Điện 1 (UPCoM: TV1) reported Q3 2026 revenue of VND 168 billion, up 13%, and gross profit of VND 65 billion, up 27%.

- I Survived the Dot-Com Bubble. The Lessons I Learned From That Time Are Keeping Me Out of These 2 Tech Giants, and Here's Why
The author, who lived through the dot-com boom and bust, points to a cyclically adjusted P/E (CAPE) ratio of 41, a level exceeded only during the dot-com boom, as a sign the market is vulnerable to a meaningful downturn. Micron reported 379% revenue growth in its latest quarter and $37.7 billion in net income, but memory chip prices are highly cyclical, and the stock trades at a P/E of 12 amid fears of a sharp sell-off. Nvidia posted 106% revenue growth and $59.7 billion in net income, with a market cap above $5 trillion, but the author sees parallels with Cisco in 2000, which traded at a P/E of 241 before a $2.25 billion write-down in 2001. Nvidia's P/E of 26 is far lower and it holds a software moat, so the author expects an AI bust would more likely be a growth disruption, with the main risk being customers it finances going bankrupt.
- US Plans Unexpected Economic Boost for Russia: Europe Immediately Objects
The US is pushing to quickly restart the sale of Russian gas to Europe through the pipeline crossing Ukraine, possibly via a US intermediary, with the proceeds placed in an escrow account in a third country so Moscow cannot use them to fund the war. Washington sees this as a lever to persuade President Vladimir Putin to accept a ceasefire on energy infrastructure, and Kyiv could earn significant transit fees. However, the EU must fully end Russian gas purchases by the end of 2027, and many European leaders have said they do not want to depend on Moscow again. Before the war Russia supplied about 45% of Europe's gas, now only about 11%, while US LNG covers about 30% of demand; the Iran conflict has pushed Europe's energy spending up by about 100 billion euros (112 billion USD), and storage is about 75% full. Moscow has not yet accepted the US-backed energy-strike ceasefire effort.
