Blue chips that carried VN-Index deep into the green

Ten of the 30 largest capped stocks on the market have gained over 65 percent after the VN-Index bottomed in March this year. On Thursday, the benchmark VN-Index closed at above 1,000 points for the first time since November 20 last year. It had bottomed at 659.21 points in late March, at the height of Vietnam’s first Covid-19 outbreak, and has since gained more than 50 percent. Blue chips, or stocks on the VN30, a basket of the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange’s (HoSE) 30 largest capped tickers, have been the market’s main growth driver, with some stocks registering gains double that of the VN-Index, according to reports from several securities companies.
