The stock market experienced slight fluctuations with low volatility around the reference level at the start of the session. After 10h, the market maintained its green trajectory consistently, driven by improved performance from Vingroup and Gelex group stocks. Near the midday break, the VN-Index briefly surpassed 1,900 points before retreating slightly to close the morning session.

In the afternoon, the market continued its decline, falling below 1,890 points. Around 14h, the Vingroup group saw a strong resurgence, pushing the benchmark index past the critical psychological threshold of 1,910 points, marking an increase of over 33 points from the reference. Following this, the market underwent minor corrections, repeatedly struggling to hold the 1,900-point mark.

Poor performance from some banking stocks and Vingroup's decline during the ATC session caused the overall index to plummet sharply, at one point nearing 1,870 points. However, a late-session recovery in blue-chip stocks helped the market improve.

The VN-Index closed near 1,903 points, up almost 16 points from yesterday. This marks a new record for the stock market. Based on closing prices, the benchmark index recorded its third consecutive record-breaking session.

On the HoSE, 203 stocks advanced. Among them, 19 reached their ceiling prices, notably VIX, EIB, BSR, PLX, GAS, PVD, VSC, and SAB. The number of declining stocks was 131, almost 36% lower than those that gained.

After several corrective sessions and acting as a primary drag on the index, the "Vin" family of stocks once again led the VN-Index's rise today. VIC of Vingroup closed at 167,900 VND, up 2,6% with liquidity of nearly 899 billion VND. This stock was the top contributor among the 10 most positive influences on the market. VHM was also listed in this group, securing the third position. Vinhomes' stock increased by 2,9% to 134,000 VND, with liquidity of nearly 1,198 billion VND.

Additionally, the market received support today from state-owned shares, primarily in the oil and gas and banking sectors. Most notably, GAS, BID, VCB, GVR, BSR, and PLX all positively impacted the VN-Index.

However, the banking sector experienced significant divergence today. MBB and TCB led the group negatively affecting the overall index, with these two stocks falling by 2,3% and 1,7% respectively. Furthermore, ACB, LPB, SHB, and CTG also underwent corrections, negatively impacting the VN-Index.

Liquidity continued to rise during the record-setting stock session. The total trading value on the HoSE reached nearly 42,300 billion VND, a slight increase of 650 billion VND compared to the previous session. This marks the highest level since late 10/2025.

Separately, foreign investors, after four sessions of prioritized accumulation, returned to net selling approximately 489 billion VND. Foreign investor transactions showed a tug-of-war between buyers of VCB, VPB, BID, and VIX and sellers of GMD, SHB, VRE, ACB, and STB.

In its previous session-end report, Vietcombank Securities (VCBS) recommended that investors consider disbursing capital into stocks actively attracting cash flow and those with significant upside potential compared to their recent previous peaks. Simultaneously, investors should exercise caution with stocks nearing old peaks to avoid potential short-term corrections.
