On the HoSE, foreign investors demonstrated their bullish stance as they engaged in net buying activities, contributing to a total value of approximately VNĐ102 billion, said cafef.vn.
During the buying session, the spotlight was firmly on Kinh Bắc City Group (KBC)'s stock, which experienced a significant surge in demand from foreign investors. With a staggering value of VNĐ281 billion, KBC shares were highly sought after, leading to a dramatic spike in its price and even hitting the daily price limit.
Another notable stock that attracted the attention of foreign investors was Development Investment Construction JSC (DIG), another player in the real estate sector. Foreign investors engaged in net buying activities with a value of VNĐ103 billion.
In addition to real estate stocks, foreign investors also exhibited their interest in other sectors. VNDirect Securities Co (VND), a stock in the financial sector, saw net buying activities from foreign investors with a value of VNĐ77 billion. Mobile World Group (MWG), a leading retail company, witnessed net buying activities amounting to VNĐ76 billion.
The net buying activities by foreign investors across various sectors on HoE highlight their optimistic outlook for the Vietnamese stock market and their confidence in the long-term growth prospects of these specific stocks.

It is expected that the market will continue to be supported and have the opportunity to extend the uptrend this week, said Việt Dragon Securities Co.
"Therefore, investors need to observe supply and demand developments to evaluate the market state. Currently, you should prioritise stocks that are showing good signals from the support zone to hold or buy cumulatively. However, you should also take advantage of the uptrend to take profits on stocks that are moving cautiously in the resistance zone," it said.
