In today's trading session (May 7), VN-Index had its third consecutive gaining session in the first 4 sessions of May with many positive signals about the liquidity of the stock market. The positive support of the bluechip stock group, with the focus being their big duo Vingroup, helped VN-Index stand firm after surpassing the 1,900 point mark.
Closing the trading session on May 7, VN-Index increased by 17.81 points (+0.94%) to the threshold of 1,904.01 points. This is a new record for the index.
However, in contrast to the score explosion, the HoSE board is still in a "green shell, red core" situation. The whole market had 304 gainers, of which 25 gained the ceiling price. In the opposite direction, there were 370 decliners, including 14 floor-price decliners, while 846 codes remained unchanged. Market liquidity increased sharply when more than 1 billion shares were traded with a total market value of 31,232 billion VND.
Foreign investors continued to net sell but with a low value of only about 282 billion VND on the HOSE exchange, down 75% compared to the previous session. This is also the lowest net selling day in the last 8 sessions. The group of stocks with the strongest net selling by foreign investors continues to be named FPT (372 billion VND) and ACB (296 billion VND). In the opposite direction, foreign investors strongly net bought MSN (376 billion VND), GEX (144 billion VND), VHM (110 billion VND).
By industry group, real estate increased the most on the market, reaching 2.51%. VIC and VHM continued to be the main drivers for VN-Index. VHM closed the session on May 7 in purple, increasing by 10.5 points (6.95%) to the price of 161,500 VND/share; VIC increased by 4.5 points (2.05%) to 224,000 VND/share. Besides, there is also the Gelex stock group which is also the destination of cash flow when both show off their purple color. GEX increased to the ceiling price of 6.98% to the price of 31,400 VND/share, matching orders of nearly 34.5 million units; GEE also successfully pulled the ceiling and closed the session at 6.92% to 122,100 VND/share.
Financial stocks, mainly banking and securities, although only increased a small percentage, still positively supported the market thanks to their significant capitalization. Meanwhile, in the opposite direction, the energy sector was the group of stocks that decreased the most in the market today -3.71%, BSR -4.49%, PLX -3.33%, PVT -4.89%...
The fact that VN-Index continuously broke through thanks to a few pillar stocks, while most of the remaining stocks were dyed red, made investors fall into a state of not being very excited. This development caused the actual performance of investors to have a significant deviation from the index. In other words, although the market increased sharply in terms of points, not many investors actually benefited commensurately.
Although not excited when the index surpassed the 1,900 point mark, investors still have reason to expect the general market when liquidity has improved. Notably, currently many stock groups after a long period of adjustment are in a relatively reasonable price range.
At the end of April 2026, the market capitalization if not including Vingroup is about 320 billion USD, unchanged compared to the end of March 2026. Showing that many codes and code groups accumulated well after a period of sharp decline.
This is a relatively reasonable valuation range for the rest of the market as business results still grow. Currently, short-term cash flow is also improving as there are profitable opportunities, with well-controlled risk levels. Investors can assess and consider accumulation opportunities, investing value in the best growing stocks in industry groups.
