Foreign investors stepped up purchases of Vingroup shares despite a broad sell‑off in Vietnam’s stock market. Understanding why this happened shows how solid company performance can draw overseas capital even in a weak market.

Foreign investors bought about VND139 billion ($5.3 million) of Vingroup shares, the largest net inflow of the session. Their buying helped the VN‑Index close 3.83 points higher despite overall market selling pressure.

During the first nine months of 2026, Vingroup more than doubled its revenue, and its after‑tax profit exceeded 125 % of the full‑year target. These results signal strong financial health for the conglomerate.

VinFast, Vingroup’s electric‑vehicle arm, delivered over 211,000 vehicles worldwide, a 91 % year‑on‑year increase. At the same time, Vinhomes recorded sales of VND219.6 trillion, up 35 %.

The rally lifted founder Pham Nhat Vuong’s net worth by $1.5 billion to $38.7 billion, placing him 56th on Forbes’ global rich list. His rising fortune highlights the market impact of Vingroup’s growth.

Foreign investors are attracted by Vingroup’s rapid expansion and strong earnings, which keep its shares rising even when the broader market falls. The case shows how robust corporate performance can outweigh general market weakness.
