VN-Index falls for the second consecutive session.

VTV.vn - The trading session on February 5th showed increasingly clear divergence, with Vingroup's group of stocks soaring strongly, while the majority of the market was in the red.

Despite contributing over 21 points to the index, the four Vingroup stocks were not strong enough to pull the VN-Index out of a declining session.

The VN-Index continued to experience significant volatility today, with a widening gap in trading performance between Vingroup's stocks and the rest of the market. Capital flows were primarily concentrated in Vingroup's real estate ecosystem, while selling pressure spread across many key sectors.

At the close of trading, VIC and VHM shares both rose to their maximum allowed limit, VRE increased by 1.95%, and VPL edged up by 0.58%. Overall, the four Vingroup stocks contributed 21.46 points to the VN-Index. However, this was still not enough to offset the significant downward pressure from the rest of the market. The VN-Index closed down 8.87 points at 1,782.56 points. On other exchanges, the HNX-Index fell 2.91 points to 263.04 points, while the UPCOM-Index dropped 0.69 points to 128.59 points.

Although the VN-Index's decline wasn't particularly large, the actual situation was much more negative, with red dominating the market. The entire market saw 239 stocks rise, including 20 that hit the ceiling price, but the number of declining stocks reached 514. Notably, 10 stocks fell to their lower limit, most notably VHC and PET.

VHC shares came under strong pressure after the company released its consolidated financial report for the fourth quarter of 2025, showing a 47% drop in profit. This was due to rising raw material prices coupled with declining sales volume, negatively impacting business results.

Overall, the market ended the afternoon session quite negatively. A number of sectors that investors are interested in all declined simultaneously, including banking, information technology, securities, retail, construction materials, and oil and gas.

Among the stocks with the most negative impact on the VN-Index, banking stocks accounted for a large proportion, with VCB taking down 4.15 points, BID down 2.19 points, CTG down 1.63 points, and MBB down 1.26 points. The remaining stocks in the top list putting pressure on the index included GAS, GVR, VNM, HPG, MSN, andFPT .

Market liquidity continued to weaken, with the total trading value across the entire market reaching just over 29,000 billion VND, and the HOSE exchange alone reaching over 26,000 billion VND, significantly lower than the average of nearly 34,000 billion VND over the past month. This development raises concerns about the possibility of further liquidity declines amidst a sharp upward trend in interest rates.

Foreign investors were not very active in trading, buying nearly 3.9 trillion VND but selling nearly 5.1 trillion VND, resulting in a net selling of over 1.2 trillion VND and marking the fourth consecutive net selling session. FPT became the focus of net selling with a value of over 821 billion VND, far surpassing other stocks like VCB, VHM, andACB . Conversely, MWG was the stock with the strongest net buying by foreign investors, with a value of over 180 billion VND.

Overall, the trading session closed with a cautious sentiment prevailing in the market, as support from a group of large-cap stocks was insufficient to offset widespread selling pressure, and weak liquidity continued to be a factor causing investor concern.
