According to Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HOSE) statistics published by Vietstock on 7 November 2026, stock market capitalisation on HOSE stood at VND8.42 quadrillion (8.42 million billion dong) on 30 October 2026, down 1.5% from the previous month. That equals 65.5% of 2025 GDP and more than 95% of total listed stock capitalisation. Although October was a correction month, the market remains large, and an important structural change is approaching: all HNX-listed stocks will move to HOSE at the end of the year.
Indices and listings
At the end of October 2026, the VN-Index stood at 1,741.62 points, the VNAllshare at 1,738.76 and the VN30 at 1,855.04, down 1.53%, 2.44% and 2.72% respectively for the month. HOSE had 766 listed and traded codes: 407 stocks, 3 closed-end fund certificates, 21 ETFs and 335 covered warrants.
Fifty-one HOSE companies had a market value above US$1 billion, two fewer than a month earlier. The four worth US$10 billion or more were Vingroup (VIC), Vinhomes (VHM), Vietcombank (VCB) and BIDV (BID). Nam A Commercial Joint Stock Bank joined the billion-dollar group during the month.
Liquidity and money flows
- Total stock trading value in October exceeded VND343,251 billion, averaging more than VND15,602 billion per session; volume rose more than 4% but value fell nearly 5% from September.
- Covered warrants were busier: volume up 31.4% and value up 12.17% month on month.
- Foreign investors were net sellers of more than VND23,705 billion; their trading accounted for 14.39% of the market total.
By sector, health care (VNHEAL) rose 4.6%, building materials (VNMAT) 3% and real estate (VNREAL) 1.85%, while information technology (VNIT) fell 16%, energy (VNENE) 8% and finance (VNFIN) 3.5%. This divergence may suggest money is rotating between sectors rather than leaving the market.
28 December 2026: stock listings unified on HOSE
According to the Vietnam Exchange, under the Ministry of Finance's Circular 139/2025/TT-BTC, the last trading day for HNX-listed stocks is 23 December 2026. Stocks in scope will be suspended for two days, 24–25 December 2026, and start trading on HOSE from 28 December 2026. Trading of other securities on HOSE and on other markets run by HNX continues under current rules.
Concentrating stocks on one exchange standardises trading procedures and makes the market easier to access, especially for foreign investors, as Vietnam moves towards international standards.
