On October 13th, Vingroup’s (VIC) shares took center stage, surging nearly 7% to a record high of VND 205,400 per share. This milestone marked the highest price since its listing, pushing Vingroup’s market capitalization close to VND 800 trillion. With this peak, Vingroup is widening its lead over other blue-chip stocks like Vietcombank, Vinhomes, and VietinBank.
Trading volume reached nearly 7.2 million shares, with transaction values exceeding VND 1.4 trillion. Foreign investors also injected a net inflow of nearly VND 272 billion, solidifying VIC’s role as a market pillar during this volatile session.

VIC shares hit a historic high, surpassing VND 200,000 per share.
This surge in VIC shares followed news that Vingroup Chairman Pham Nhat Vuong completed the transfer of over 60 million VIC shares, equivalent to 1.55% of the group’s charter capital, to contribute to VinEnergo Energy Joint Stock Company.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HoSE), Mr. Vuong submitted a report to the State Securities Commission, HoSE, and Vingroup regarding this internal share transaction. Valued at over VND 600 billion, these shares were transferred to support investments in the energy sector through VinEnergo.
In today’s trading session, the VN-Index closed up 17.57 points, reaching 1,765.12 points. The HNX-Index gained 1.73 points to 275.35, while the UPCoM-Index rose 1.09 points to 112.70.
Market activity was vibrant, with total trading value across all three exchanges nearing VND 48.7 trillion. HoSE accounted for VND 44.5 trillion, with over 1.3 billion shares changing hands.

The stock market continues its rally, with the VN-Index setting a new record high.
Trading activity was particularly robust in real estate stocks, led by VIC’s ceiling-hit performance. Other related stocks, including VHM (+0.98%) and VRE (+6.57%), also performed well. CRV continued its ceiling-hit streak in its second session since listing on HoSE on October 10th.
