However, during the ATC session, intense selling pressure overwhelmed the market’s earlier efforts, dragging the VN-Index down by 12 points. VIC remained the primary support for the VN-Index, with notable news that Vingroup plans to present to shareholders a proposal to issue 3.85 billion shares (1:1 ratio). This is the largest bonus share issuance in the history of Vietnam’s stock market.
Meanwhile, the banking sector—a market pillar—was the focal point of selling pressure: HDB, STB, VPB, SHB, VCB, and TCB all plunged by 2-3%, pulling the VN-Index downward.
Trading value on the HoSE floor reached only over 17.8 trillion VND—the lowest in the past 5 months.
Influential sectors such as banking, securities, and real estate faced significant distribution pressure. VIX led the securities sector in liquidity with 26.2 million shares traded but still fell by 3%. SSI lost nearly 1.7%. The real estate sector showed mixed performance, with most stocks declining, while industrial zone stocks benefited.
Industrial zone stocks rallied today following news that realized foreign direct investment in Vietnam over 10 months reached approximately USD 21.3 billion, an 8.8% increase compared to the same period last year. BCM led the VN30 group with a 2.2% gain, while KBC, PDR, SZC, and others also rose.
Oil and gas stocks, along with MSCI updates, drew attention. PVD was a rare bright spot in a gloomy market, rising on news of a new drilling rig contract for the Block B – 48/95 project in 2027.
Additionally, MSCI’s decision to add three Vietnamese stocks (CII, MBS, HVN) to its Frontier Market index and remove one (CTR) heated up interest in these stocks. By the close, CII and MBS maintained their gains.
At the session’s end, the VN-Index fell by 12.25 points (0.74%) to 1,642.64. The HNX-Index dropped 0.55 points (0.21%) to 266.15, and the UPCoM-Index declined 0.28 points (0.24%) to 116.22. Trading value on the HoSE floor reached only over 17.8 trillion VND—the lowest in the past 5 months.
