MBS

Foreign investors turned net sellers on HOSE on July 22, 2026, offloading VND 1,937.5 billion (~$77.5 million), with SSI, VIC, VCB, and ACB bearing the heaviest selling. The VN-Index fell 62 points (-3.58%) amid broad-based declines, led by real estate and financials. The selling pressure underscores persistent foreign caution toward Vietnamese equities.

Foreign investors net sold nearly VND 1,921 billion (USD 76.8 million) on July 22, contributing to a 62-point drop in the VN-Index below 1,700. SSI, VIC, and VCB were the most sold, while VNM, HPG, and GEE were net bought. The sell-off underscores persistent foreign outflow pressure on blue chips.

Q2 2026 pre-tax profit for 77 Vietnamese securities firms rose 51% YoY to VND 15.2T, with 6 companies each exceeding VND 1T. VPBank Securities (VPS) overtook SSI as the top earner at VND 2.16T, while many mid-sized firms swung to profit. The sector's strong performance reflects robust brokerage and margin lending activity.

MWG (Mobile World Group) attracted the largest net foreign buying of VND 206 billion on July 20, even as the VN-Index dropped 44 points and foreign investors overall net sold VND 86 billion across the market. The buying interest in MWG contrasts with heavy net selling in VCB, STB, and VPB, suggesting selective foreign allocation toward retail amid the broad sell-off.

EVS reported Q2 2026 pre-tax profit of VND 243 billion, reversing a VND 9 billion loss a year ago, driven by a 13x surge in FVTPL gains. Among nine securities firms reporting, TCBS led with VND 2,097 billion in Q2 profit, while NESC remained marginally loss-making. The results signal a broad sector recovery, though profitability remains concentrated among larger players.

MBS reported Q2 2026 pre-tax profit of 377B VND (+38% YoY) on revenue of 1,196B VND (+51%), driven by proprietary trading and margin lending. TCBS posted a record quarterly pre-tax profit of 2,097B VND (+21% YoY), the highest in its history. The results signal a strong start to the securities sector earnings season.
