The article traces nearly three decades of Vinamilk taking its brand abroad, now present in 67 countries and territories. Its first step was sending 2 containers of Dielac infant milk powder to Iraq under the UN's Oil-for-Food programme, followed by an order of 300 tonnes delivered on time in March 1997. In 2010 Vinamilk bought 19.3% of Miraka Limited in New Zealand for NZD 12.5 million, as the domestic dairy herd then met only about 30% of demand. In 2013 it invested about USD 7 million for 70% of Driftwood Dairy Holding Corporation in the US, and in 2016, with partner BPC, it opened the Angkormilk factory in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where Vinamilk holds 51% of a USD 20 million investment.

- Kimberly-Clark closes its acquisition of Tylenol maker Kenvue. What to expect next
Kimberly-Clark completed its acquisition of Kenvue, the maker of Tylenol, on Monday, valuing the company at almost $49 billion including debt; KMB shares rose 0.3% that session to close at $108.25. The company reaffirmed its deal targets of $1.9 billion in reduced costs and expenses within three years, plus $500 million in incremental profit from higher revenue, partially offset by $300 million in reinvestments. CEO Michael Hsu said Kimberly-Clark is further along than Kenvue in building consumer packaged goods capabilities and expects the combination to accelerate Kenvue's growth across categories he sees as very underdeveloped. Amid higher input costs tied to the Iran war, Hsu said the company will balance pricing with affordability for cash-strapped middle- and lower-income consumers, noting it absorbed about $3.4 billion of inflation over two years after Covid, versus a few hundred million dollars now for the two companies combined. Kimberly-Clark also inherits legal and reputational risks tied to Tylenol, which has faced litigation.
- Jim Cramer says it's time to look beyond tech. Here are 4 consumer stocks he likes
CNBC's Jim Cramer said investors seeking to diversify away from the struggling AI trade should consider consumer staples stocks. In October the Nasdaq-100 fell almost 7% as money rotated into defensive sectors, while the consumer staples index rose 11.4%. Cramer highlighted four stocks: Kimberly-Clark (up nearly 11% in October, under 15 times earnings, 4.7% dividend yield, with a pending merger with Kenvue); Procter & Gamble (up 11%, seen as attractive after better-than-expected quarterly results, though he prefers Kimberly-Clark's lower valuation and higher yield); Constellation Brands (up 20%, about 11 times earnings, yield above 3%, showing signs of a turnaround); and Coca-Cola (up 9%, after a strong quarter driven by volume).
- Procter & Gamble Earnings : Accelerating Sales Growth Evidences Prudence of Strategic Course
Morningstar says P&G's first-quarter organic sales rose 4.0%, with volume up 2.4% and pricing and mix adding 1.6%, but cost savings did not fully offset inflation, cutting adjusted gross margin 150 basis points to 49.8%. US sales grew 3% (versus a 1% decline in the fourth quarter) and China rose 8% (from 4%). Morningstar kept its $155 fair value estimate and wide-moat rating, and it views the roughly $4 billion Thorne HealthTech deal, under 1% of sales, as not signaling a push into consolidation, with cash returns still the priority. The firm expects more details on supply chain initiatives at P&G's Nov. 19 investor event. Shares rose more than 5% on Oct. 22.
- Procter & Gamble earnings beat as sales rise 4%, boosted by laundry and home products
P&G reported fiscal first-quarter adjusted earnings of $2.00 per share and revenue of $23.3 billion, both ahead of analyst expectations of $1.88 and $22.8 billion according to an LSEG survey. Net sales rose 4% and volume grew 2.4%, led by the fabric and home care segment, which includes Tide and Febreze, with volume up 4.3%. The health care business was the weakest, with volume down 2.9%, while grooming volume fell 0.4%. P&G reiterated its fiscal 2027 core EPS forecast of $6.89 to $7.11 but raised its all-in sales growth outlook to 2% to 4% from 1% to 3%, reflecting the Thorne acquisition, which closed on Oct. 1. Shares rose more than 2% in premarket trading.
- Kimberly-Clark is having its best week in four years. Here's what is propelling shares higher
Kimberly-Clark shares rose about 8% this week, their best weekly performance since October 2022, after the maker of Kleenex and Huggies reported better-than-feared preliminary third-quarter results of $4.13 billion in revenue and $1.70 in EPS, both above Wall Street estimates. Chinese authorities confirmed no formamide was found in baby diapers, rebutting social-media claims that hurt Huggies sales in China. The European Commission approved the planned Kenvue acquisition on condition of divesting some feminine hygiene brands, and Brazilian regulators followed. The deal is expected to close before year-end, after the stock had dropped 4.1% on a September sales warning.

October average trading value was 17,183 billion VND, the lowest monthly level of the year, while foreign investors net sold 20,848 billion VND during the month.

- On November 3, the National Assembly debates amendments to the Electricity Law
On November 3, the National Assembly debated the draft amendments to the Electricity Law in plenary, after hearing the proposal and verification report on October 20. Minister of Industry and Trade Lê Mạnh Hùng stressed decentralization linked to implementation capacity, cutting administrative procedures, and removing practical bottlenecks. The government made two major changes: only the Electricity Law will apply to investment approval for power projects, and no special mechanism will be set for urgent power projects to keep construction law uniform. The three-article draft seeks to narrow state monopolies, add electricity bill support for vulnerable groups, use winning bid prices as the basis for power purchase contracts to limit price renegotiation, and allow PPP investment in transmission grids. It also sets a roadmap to reduce and eventually eliminate cross-subsidies between customer groups and introduces incentive pricing for renewable energy and storage.
- North Korea denies links to Binance hack as researchers trace stolen billions
North Korea has rejected U.S. allegations that it was behind the roughly $6.3 billion Binance hack, calling the accusation a “grave political provocation,” according to state media. Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un, criticized the FBI for attributing the attack to the North Korea-linked group TraderTraitor. Blockchain analysts Elliptic and Chainalysis say the hackers used roughly 12,000 wallets across 11 blockchains in the first four days, making more than 40,000 transactions, mostly routed through Tron before moving to Ethereum via cross-chain bridges. About $2.85 billion, or 44% of the $6.43 billion Elliptic says was stolen, has been frozen or seized, while about $3.24 billion remains in linked addresses. Binance said it has covered about 95% of the affected amount and is resuming withdrawals in phases.

- Trump hints at unprecedented move toward Iran ahead of midterm elections
On November 2 (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump said a deal with Iran was feasible after Tehran disclosed indirect talks with Washington and proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz under strict conditions, adding that oil prices had fallen nearly $10 a barrel. He nonetheless called Tehran “not very reliable” and said Washington would wait to see whether Iran truly wants a deal. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei had granted the government certain authority to negotiate an end to the conflict with the U.S., while insisting Iran will not surrender. According to The Wall Street Journal, Iranian missile and drone attacks caused estimated damage of $5-15 billion to military facilities hosting U.S. forces in the Middle East, and satellite imagery shows 274 buildings damaged at 24 sites. Washington is reportedly considering scaling back its military presence in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
- Gold holds near $3,950 as Iran peace hopes ease oil, U.S. vote in focus
Spot gold held above $3,950 an ounce after its biggest daily gain in two months, as hopes for progress in U.S.-Iran peace talks eased energy-driven inflation worries. Spot gold rose 0.3% to $3,956.32, while U.S. gold futures slipped 0.1% to $3,966.17. Bullion had climbed 1.9% on Monday after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said his government had gained greater authority from the supreme leader to pursue negotiations, while signals of progress from Trump helped Brent crude fall more than 7%. Gold fell 6.8% in October, dipping below $4,000 to a one-year low, and was also hit as investors sold bullion to cover losses following a retreat in AI-related stocks. Investors are now awaiting U.S. midterm election results, which could shift the outlook for inflation and fiscal deficits.
