Following the April 30th - May 1st holiday, the stock market entered a sensitive phase as the VN-Index approached its previous peak around the psychological mark of 1,900 points. Overall in April 2026, the index increased by nearly 180 points, primarily driven by Vingroup -related stocks and the news that Vietnam is expected to be upgraded to an emerging market in September 2026.
Historical statistics show that the market often fluctuates sharply after holidays. However, the "buy in May" trend is prevailing, with the market recording gains in 8 out of the last 11 years. Nevertheless, geopolitical risks in the Middle East and conflicting signals from the US-Iran conflict remain unpredictable variables that could impact domestic investor sentiment.
Currently, the market is exhibiting a "green on the outside, red on the inside" pattern, where the index rises but most stocks don't move in unison. Money flow will no longer be spread thinly but will shift towards a more selective trend. Mid-cap stocks with unique stories of restructuring or exceptional profit growth are attracting attention.
In addition, non-financial businesses such as manufacturing and export companies are emerging thanks to positive first-quarter business results. Another highlight is the wave of high cash dividend payouts by 21 companies in the first week of May, notably Ninh Binh Phosphate Fertilizer Joint Stock Company and Phan Thiet Garment Export Joint Stock Company.
Experts recommend that investors should not focus too much on predicting the VN-Index score. Instead, the appropriate strategy is to prioritize risk management and choose companies with strong fundamentals and stable cash flow to ensure investment efficiency during a period of strong market differentiation.
