On October 26, 2026, foreign investors net sold VND 891.5 billion across the entire market according to statistical summaries from [Tin nhanh chứng khoán on October 26, 2026](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/khoi-ngoai-tang-gan-gap-doi-gia-tri-ban-rong-trong-phien-2610-dat-gan-900-ty-dong-post400239.html), while an article from [VnEconomy on October 26, 2026](https://vneconomy.vn/khoi-ngoai-bat-ngo-ban-rong-manh-tay-gan-900-ty.htm) recorded total net outflows of VND 892.2 billion and the [VCBS report on October 26, 2026](https://www.vcbs.com.vn/storage/ttpt_reports/20261026/vcbs-26-10-2026-luc-cung-gia-tang-o-vung-1760-1780-vn-index-giam-gan-11-diem.pdf) reported foreign net selling of nearly VND 900 billion concentrated in FPT and HDB.

In the session on October 27, 2026, total net outflows across the market dropped 64.33% by value to VND 318 billion (with HOSE recording net sales of VND 441 billion) as reported by [Tin nhanh chứng khoán on October 27, 2026](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/khoi-ngoai-day-manh-gom-tcb-tiep-tuc-ban-rong-318-ty-dong-trong-phien-2710-post400323.html), where banking stock ACB saw the heaviest net selling with 8.45 million shares sold for an outflow of VND 177 billion. The [VCBS report on October 27, 2026](https://www.vcbs.com.vn/storage/ttpt_reports/20261027/vcbs-27-10-2026-tiep-tuc-rung-lac-o-vung-1760-1780-vn-index-giam-nhe-2-diem.pdf) also noted net selling of VND 440.7 billion on HOSE centered in FPT and ACB.

By October 28, 2026, net outflows narrowed further. Across all three exchanges, foreign participants net sold VND 251.6 billion, down 20.88% in value compared to the preceding session according to [Tin nhanh chứng khoán on October 28, 2026](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/khoi-ngoai-tiep-tuc-giam-manh-ban-rong-trong-phien-2810-post400380.html). On HOSE alone on October 28, 2026, foreign investors net sold VND 267.3 billion per Tin nhanh chứng khoán, while the [VCBS report on October 28, 2026](https://www.vcbs.com.vn/storage/ttpt_reports/20261028/vcbs-28-10-2026-no-luc-o-co-phieu-blue-chips-giup-vn-index-tang-nhe-gan-5-diem.pdf) recorded HOSE net sales of VND 267.1 billion.

Foreign selling pressure on HOSE on October 28, 2026 remained heavily concentrated in technology stock FPT with net sales reaching VND 260 billion, according to [Tin nhanh chứng khoán on October 28, 2026](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/khoi-ngoai-tiep-tuc-giam-manh-ban-rong-trong-phien-2810-post400380.html) and [VCBS on October 28, 2026](https://www.vcbs.com.vn/storage/ttpt_reports/20261028/vcbs-28-10-2026-no-luc-o-co-phieu-blue-chips-giup-vn-index-tang-nhe-gan-5-diem.pdf).

Across all three trading sessions from October 26 to October 28, 2026, cumulative foreign net selling reached VND 1,461.1 billion according to our calculation from daily tracking data reported by [Tin nhanh chứng khoán on October 28, 2026](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/khoi-ngoai-tiep-tuc-giam-manh-ban-rong-trong-phien-2810-post400380.html). The sustained narrowing in net selling volume from Monday through Wednesday indicated that foreign divestment pressure had reduced substantially.

## Large-cap stock movements and sector rotation

The market saw active cash flow return to large-cap equities during the afternoon session of October 28, 2026 according to [VnEconomy on October 28, 2026](https://vneconomy.vn/dong-tien-chu-dong-hon-co-phieu-blue-chips-keo-vn-index-dao-chieu.htm) and the [VCBS report on October 28, 2026](https://www.vcbs.com.vn/storage/ttpt_reports/20261028/vcbs-28-10-2026-no-luc-o-co-phieu-blue-chips-giup-vn-index-tang-nhe-gan-5-diem.pdf). During the afternoon session of October 28, 2026 alone, the VN30 basket generated liquidity of VND 4,425 billion with 15 constituent stocks showing price gains relative to the morning close according to VnEconomy.

Among these large caps on October 28, 2026, shares of HDB reversed upward by 3.86% with trading value of nearly VND 538 billion, while VPB rose 1.29% above its reference price according to [VnEconomy on October 28, 2026](https://vneconomy.vn/dong-tien-chu-dong-hon-co-phieu-blue-chips-keo-vn-index-dao-chieu.htm). The [VCBS report on October 28, 2026](https://www.vcbs.com.vn/storage/ttpt_reports/20261028/vcbs-28-10-2026-no-luc-o-co-phieu-blue-chips-giup-vn-index-tang-nhe-gan-5-diem.pdf) recorded that efforts across select stocks including HDB, VCB, and VPL were an important factor helping balance the general index. Broader portfolio strategies across key sectors during this period are discussed in the [fourth-quarter sector rotation strategy report](/en/blog/vietnam-stock-strategy-q4-2026-sector-rotation).

## VN-Index percentage change formula and calculation

To measure the movement of the VN-Index from the close of October 23, 2026 to the close of October 28, 2026, the rate of change is calculated using the standard formula:

$$\text{VN-Index rate of change} = \frac{\text{Closing level on October 28, 2026} - \text{Closing level on October 23, 2026}}{\text{Closing level on October 23, 2026}} \times 100\%$$

Applying the recorded closing values: with the index at 1,766.65 points on October 28, 2026 and 1,774.15 points on October 23, 2026 according to market data from [VNDIRECT](https://api-finfo.vndirect.com.vn/v4/vnmarket_prices?sort=date:desc&size=5&q=code:VNINDEX) and the [VCBS report on October 28, 2026](https://www.vcbs.com.vn/storage/ttpt_reports/20261028/vcbs-28-10-2026-no-luc-o-co-phieu-blue-chips-giup-vn-index-tang-nhe-gan-5-diem.pdf), the calculation gives:

$$\text{VN-Index rate of change} = \frac{1,766.65 - 1,774.15}{1,774.15} \times 100\% = \frac{-7.50}{1,774.15} \times 100\% \approx -0.42\%$$

The net decrease of 0.42% (or a drop of 7.50 points) represents a modest adjustment compared with the closing level of October 23, 2026 according to data from [VNDIRECT](https://api-finfo.vndirect.com.vn/v4/vnmarket_prices?sort=date:desc&size=5&q=code:VNINDEX). Within the three sessions from October 26 to October 28, 2026, the VN-Index achieved a net gain of 3.10 points (+0.18%) from the Monday close of 1,763.55 points to 1,766.65 points on Wednesday according to the [VCBS report on October 28, 2026](https://www.vcbs.com.vn/storage/ttpt_reports/20261028/vcbs-28-10-2026-no-luc-o-co-phieu-blue-chips-giup-vn-index-tang-nhe-gan-5-diem.pdf).

Data note: Closing index numbers (VN-Index, VN30, HNX-Index, UPCOM-Index) and HOSE liquidity metrics from October 26 to October 28, 2026 were cross-checked using the VNDIRECT market data system and VCBS daily market analysis reports.
