Vietjet Air's VJC stock surged at market open, quickly reaching its ceiling price of 190,400 VND per share by late morning, maintaining this level until market close. This closing price brought VJC close to its previous peak of 195,500 VND, established in late October.
In the afternoon, Vietjet Air's stock frequently saw no sellers available. Daily liquidity exceeded 563 billion VND, with over 3 million shares changing hands. The session closed with nearly 312,000 buy orders remaining.
VJC ranked second among the top 10 stocks providing positive support to the VN-Index today. Overall, the stock market performed positively. In the morning, the HoSE index steadily rose, at one point surpassing 1,660 points before retreating.
In the afternoon, the market traded sideways. Before 2 PM, the general index briefly fell below its reference level but did not decline significantly, quickly recovering afterward. The VN-Index closed near 1,656 points, up nearly 7 points from yesterday.
However, the market experienced a "green shell, red core" situation (meaning the overall index was up, but many individual stocks were down), with 179 stocks declining against 120 gaining. A similar trend was observed in the VN30 basket: its representative index rose over 11 points, yet 13 stocks within the group finished in the red. This indicates the market's gains were driven by a few key blue-chip stocks.
Alongside VJC, Vingroup's VIC stock also significantly contributed to the VN-Index's rise. This stock gained 3.4% with nearly 641 billion VND in liquidity, ranking 5th across the entire exchange. Due to its large capitalization, VIC added over 6.5 points and led the market support group. Additionally, the general index received support from stocks like VHM, VPB, HDB, and FPT.
Conversely, the securities sector showed negative performance, with most stocks on the trading board finishing in the red. Notably, VIX fell 1.8% and VCI declined 2.1%.
The banking sector also experienced selling pressure on some stocks, including MBB, TCB, CTG, LPB, and BID. However, the corrections were not deep, all remaining under 1%.
Total liquidity on the HoSE decreased by over 4.6 trillion VND, falling below 19.7 trillion VND. This marked the lowest level in two weeks. A cautious sentiment emerged during the November derivatives expiry session.
A highlight of the session was the return of foreign investors, with net purchases of approximately 293 billion VND. Previously, they had recorded 11 consecutive selling sessions. VPB, SSI, and VIC were the stocks that attracted the most capital inflows. Meanwhile, foreign investors continued to divest heavily from VCI, MWG, and MBB.
Vietcombank Securities (VCBS) believes that current capital flow is rotating between stock sectors and capitalization groups, with today's session marking the return of blue-chip stocks. Moving forward, the market is expected to establish a clearer new trend after forming a stable price base.
Analysts recommend that investors continue to observe the market and the strength or weakness of individual stocks within their portfolios. They should utilize intraday price swings to restructure portfolios, either by disbursing capital or increasing weighting in stocks showing signs of attracting capital in upcoming sessions.
