Information from the shareholders’ meeting helped VinGroup stocks surge in the afternoon session, lifting the VN-Index by 1.3%. Spillover effects were reasonably positive, but market breadth remained tilted toward declines, with losses outnumbering gains by about 1.7 to 1. Liquidity improved, but mainly within the Vin group.
VN-Index regained momentum and approached the historical peak. The index closed up sharply by 23.82 points. VIC hit the ceiling, while VHM rose 3.09%, contributing more than 27 points to the VN-Index move.
Within the VN30 blue-chip group in the afternoon, 20 stocks improved from the morning session and 7 declined. Trading was largely concentrated in VIC and VHM.
VIC finished the morning session down slightly 0.1%. Once the afternoon session began, robust buying pressure pushed the stock higher. By around 1:47 pm, the price reached the ceiling, and from 1:50 pm demand at the ceiling was sustained. VIC’s afternoon liquidity reached 735 billion VND, about 3.5 times the morning session.
VHM’s liquidity was even stronger, with trading up to 910.6 billion VND, roughly 2.4 times the morning session. VHM moved in tandem with VIC but lagged slightly.
In the afternoon, VN30 liquidity increased sharply by 26.3% versus the morning. However, only VIC, VHM, VPL, and VRE accounted for 34% of total liquidity. Outside these names, 16 other stocks recovered in the afternoon, but most were smaller-cap stocks.
VN30 closed up 0.91%, with 13 gainers and 13 decliners. Besides the Vin group, only DGC rose 2.81% notably, but it slipped about 0.54% in the afternoon, underperforming its morning performance.
HoSE’s breadth also reflected the uneven advance. At the morning close, there were 88 gainers and 210 decliners; by the close, the figures were 111 gainers and 194 decliners. The number of stocks rising more than 1% was limited: 49 stocks rose more than 1% (morning: 43). The strong-gain group also saw limited liquidity, with only 16 stocks trading over 10 billion VND (morning: 8).
This suggests that money flow had not yet spread broadly enough to create a clear, sustained upward price push.
Apart from the Vin group and DGC, the VN30 basket did not show other strong performers. Midcaps remained around names such as NVL, GEX, CII, MSB, TCH, HAH, CRC, NAB, and NLG. Only four stocks traded above 100 billion VND.
The downside group did not expand significantly. Among 194 red stocks, 78 fell more than 1% (morning: 81). While selling pressure was not large, buying momentum appeared limited, making it harder for prices to hold up.
Among stocks with turnover above 100 billion, declines included HPG (-1.23%), STB (-1.77%), VPI (-3.12%), PNJ (-1.7%), EIB (-1.31%), GEE (-2.98%), VCG (-1.59%), and VSC (-1.71%).
The clearest effect from large caps was that the VN-Index neutralized the prior day’s range by reclaiming 23.82 points, bringing the index closer to the all-time high. However, the move appeared more technical in nature, as very few stocks returned to the peak zone.
With support from the shareholders’ meeting, VIC and VHM regained strength after three sessions of consolidation, but it remains unclear whether the strength will be sustainable.
Foreign investors bought modestly about 48 billion VND on HoSE in the afternoon, after selling 146.6 billion VND in the morning. Overall, the day’s foreign stance was neutral.
Large trades were recorded. On the buying side, the FUEVFVND fund certificate was net bought for the second consecutive session, totaling 282.3 billion VND. Other notable net buys included MWG (+199.3 billion VND), VIC (+164.7 billion VND), and MSN (+65.5 billion VND).
On the selling side, FPT (-209 billion VND), VHM (-91.2 billion VND), MBS (-76.1 billion VND), HPG (-61.6 billion VND), and SSI (-60.2 billion VND) were among the largest net sells.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
