The maturity of the stock market

Hoàng Văn Minh |

After strong fluctuations in 2025, the Vietnamese stock market is entering 2026 with many positive expectations.

But if we only look at the market's resilience through the numbers of increase points, liquidity or index forecasts, it may not be enough. And it is necessary to emphasize another very important factor, which is the gradual maturity of the market, including participants.

For example, the sharp decline in April, stemming from unfavorable information outside, once caused confusion among many investors. However, unlike many previous periods, this decline is controlled promptly to avoid many widespread consequences. The market recovered quickly, cash flow returned earlier and more importantly, the mentality of investors fleeing the market is not much.

That shows a remarkable change in the stock market, which is that Vietnamese investors are starting to calm down in the face of fluctuations. Instead of just looking at the red sessions for sale, many people are starting to accept that stocks always have ups and downs and the important thing is to keep a cool head.

From there, the market's own resilience will also become more solid and bring more confidence and peace of mind.

If in previous years, the majority of investors only looked for short "waves", now they pay more attention to businesses that operate stably, have clear profits, and have regular dividends. "Rumors" in related fields also no longer have much impact on the "wave". This is a sign that the market has passed the time when investors only care about surfing the wave to eat soap to move to the investment and buying and selling stage with consideration and selection based on real values.

The maturity of the market is also reflected in the aspect that domestic investors are increasingly playing a large and leading role. For example, there are times when foreign capital flows withdraw strongly, but the market still maintains a relatively stable movement. This shows that the market is no longer too dependent on foreign investment capital.

Entering 2026, the biggest expectation for the Vietnamese stock market is still the goal of continuing to upgrade. But in parallel with upgrading, it is to improve solutions to make the market develop more sustainably. By operating more transparently, Disciplinarily and approaching international standards.

And the real boost of the Vietnamese stock market lies in how much domestic investor confidence is maintained and consolidated.
