- Brokerage market-share leader cuts nearly 300 staff in a quarter
VPS, the brokerage market-share leader across all three exchanges, cut 286 staff in Q3, leaving 1,635 employees as of end-September. Brokerage revenue fell nearly 70% year on year to 485 billion VND from over 1,520 billion VND, though VPS kept the top market share on HoSE, HNX and UPCoM. Talentnet says staff turnover in the sector is high because brokerage roles are tied to KPIs, and firms are trimming base salary and bonus budgets as trading stays subdued despite the market upgrade. Margin lending remained the main driver, contributing nearly 950 billion VND in Q3 and nearly 2,930 billion VND over nine months, with double-digit growth. Pre-tax profit reached nearly 1,120 billion VND in Q3 and over 4,040 billion VND for nine months.
- HD Capital becomes major shareholder of SmartInvest Securities
HD Capital reported buying 2 million AAS shares in the 21/10/2026 session, raising its holding in SmartInvest Securities from 10 million shares (4.35%) to 12 million (5.22%). On 23/10/2026, the State Securities Commission's inspectorate fined SmartInvest Securities 150 million VND for submitting inaccurate reports on its use of funds and assets to secure obligations to third parties, and ordered it to report accurate information. The company closed its shareholder list on 22/10/2026 for a written poll on registering to provide securities clearing and settlement services, with the deadline for returning ballots expected on 23/11/2026. Its standalone after-tax profit for Q3 2026 was under 19 billion VND, down sharply from 112 billion VND in Q2 2025, mainly due to weaker proprietary trading, while operating revenue fell 65% to just over 80 billion VND. At 30/9/2026, total assets were nearly 4,844 billion VND, up 13.5% from the start of the year, while short-term borrowings rose by over 500 billion VND to 1,937 billion VND.
- Securities firm with the heaviest loss in the sector in Q3 2026 revealed
APG Securities (APG) posted a pre-tax loss of nearly 108 billion VND in Q3 2026, compared with a profit of nearly 20 billion VND a year earlier, the largest loss among securities firms that have reported Q3 results. Revenue fell 21% to nearly 69 billion VND and gains from FVTPL financial assets dropped 93%, while operating expenses rose to nearly 124 billion VND, mainly due to a 119 billion VND loss on FVTPL assets. Financial expenses rose nearly 33% to 43.5 billion VND, mostly interest costs. For the first nine months, APG recorded a pre-tax loss of nearly 105 billion VND, against a profit of over 28 billion VND a year earlier, putting its 2026 pre-tax profit target of 20 billion VND under pressure.
- How many leading securities firms have completed their profit plans after nine months?
Although all recorded declines in the third quarter of 2026, most securities firms remain on track with their full-year profit plans.

TCBS's nine-month pre-tax profit reached 5,708 billion VND, up 13% and equal to 76% of its plan, while its margin lending and advances for securities sales rose 25% from the end of 2025. VPS posted nine-month pre-tax profit of 4,044 billion VND, up 27%, while VPBankS's third-quarter pre-tax profit fell 64% to nearly 843 billion VND as operating costs rose 2.8 times.
- VPBankS submits plan to shareholders to raise charter capital above VND 27,100 billion
VPBankS is seeking shareholder approval in writing, with ballots due by 4:00 PM on November 2, 2026, for a plan to issue 843.75 million bonus shares at a 100:45 ratio, equal to 45% of outstanding shares, funded from share capital surplus. If completed, charter capital would rise from VND 18,750 billion to VND 27,187.5 billion, with issuance expected in 2026 or at a time decided by the board. The company also proposed providing securities clearing and settlement services and registering as a clearing member with VSDC once licensed. In the third quarter of 2026, pre-tax profit was nearly VND 843 billion, down 64% year on year, as FVTPL losses of VND 1,638 billion and operating costs that rose 2.8 times to VND 1,766 billion outweighed growth in lending.

- Is Adobe the Ultimate Buy-on-the-Dip Stock?
The article argues Adobe faces the risk of being replaced by AI-generated images, though the company is adding AI tools to its software. Its subscription revenue has kept growing at a slow but steady pace, with little change from the 2022 growth rate, while the stock is down about 60% from its late 2021 peak. Adobe now trades at 11 times forward earnings, a level that reflects market skepticism. The author doubts Adobe can achieve 20% to 30% growth or regain its valuation, and even a rise to 20 times forward earnings would amount to a single doubling followed by market-average growth. Although the author thinks the outlook is not as bad as the market believes, investors do not need to hold Adobe stock when many solid AI stocks are available.
- Is Apple a Top Tech Stock to Buy Now?
The article notes Apple is up about 27% in 2026 and has lifted revenue growth above 10% year over year, but argues that growth may fade once the current smartphone upgrade cycle ends. It notes that Apple's stock has twice exceeded 40 times earnings over the past decade, and each time the valuation fell by 25% to around 30 times earnings or lower, a pattern the author expects could repeat in 2027. With analysts projecting about 10% revenue growth in 2027, the author sees Apple growing at roughly the S&P 500's average pace, while the index trades at 23.2 times earnings. The author therefore concludes there are better stocks than Apple to consider now and that Apple's valuation is unlikely to rise much further from current levels.
- A Stock Market Correction Could Be Coming. Here's Why I'm Still Investing.
The S&P 500's Shiller cyclically adjusted P/E is now about 41, its highest level since August 2000, when it stood at 41.89 and the market had already entered the early stage of a bear market that lasted until November 2022. The author says it is impossible to know whether a correction is imminent and that the market could keep rising. The author suggests keeping portfolios diversified, rebalancing if they are top-heavy in tech, scaling back positions in stocks valued well above their typical ranges, and adding value, dividend, and high-quality stocks. The author also views discounted tech, AI, or growth stocks as worth examining, provided investors research why they are cheap and whether their fundamentals remain strong.
- S&P Says Meta Can’t Make Money From AI as Well as Its Rivals
S&P Global Ratings affirmed Meta's AA- rating but revised its outlook to negative, citing heavy AI capital spending, negative free cash flow, and doubts that Meta can monetize its AI investments as well as peers. S&P now expects capex above $225 billion in 2027, up from $163 billion previously, pushing adjusted leverage to 1.1x, past its 1.0x downgrade threshold, which could lead to a downgrade if the forecast holds. Meta disputed S&P's assessment, citing significant product and business opportunities ahead. To help fund the buildout, Meta sold $25.0 billion of Class A stock and $12.5 billion of mandatory convertible preferred stock, about $37.5 billion in total, and plans a $60 billion Class C at-the-market program starting in January 2027. The stock closed at $614.99, down 1.53%, after October's 15.2% decline made it Meta's worst month in four years.
- Should You Trade Crypto OTC to Avoid Bank Account Freezes?
A reader asks whether switching from P2P to OTC crypto trading would avoid the risk of bank account freezes. The expert says OTC addresses some P2P drawbacks, especially for large trades, but the risk does not automatically fall; it shifts to the counterparty, source of funds, assets and disputes. Investors should verify their counterparty's legal status, identity and ability to explain the source of funds, and keep full records such as wallet addresses, transaction hashes and bank statements. Under Resolution 05/2025, only Ministry of Finance-licensed organizations may provide crypto-asset services, and six months after the first licensed provider is granted a license, domestic investors trading outside licensed entities may face penalties. Decree 284/2026, effective in September, adds penalties for violations, so investors should be cautious with self-described 'OTC desks' or 'brokers'.
- Looking For Growth, Income, and Stability? This Stock Could Offer All 3
The article argues that Amgen combines growth, income and stability. In the second quarter, revenue rose 10% year over year to $10.1 billion, and 22 products posted at least double-digit sales growth despite the upcoming loss of patent exclusivity for denosumab. Newer therapies such as Tezspire, Tepezza and Imdelltra are driving growth, and MariTide, an investigational GLP-1 medicine in Phase 3 studies, could launch within a few years. The stock rose about 16% in 2022 when broader equities fell, and the dividend has grown 152% over the past decade. With a trailing-12-month cash payout ratio of 51.9% and a forward yield of 2.3% versus the S&P 500's average of 1.1%, the author considers Amgen suitable for income-focused investors.
