VN-Index increased by more than 13 points, public investment and energy stocks hit the ceiling

(NLDO) - Pillar stocks with strong potential in the electricity, construction, public investment, and industrial park sectors all hit the ceiling, pulling many other stocks into the green.

On December 25, VN-Index closed the trading session with an increase of 13.68 points, reaching 1,274.04 points. HNX-Index also recorded an increase of 1.45 points. Market liquidity continued to improve with the total transaction value on all 3 floors exceeding 20,000 billion VND, an increase of nearly 20% compared to the previous session.

Notably, in the morning session, the VN-Index increased by more than 22 points at one point thanks to the strong breakthrough of large-cap stocks. The electricity, construction, public investment and industrial park sectors led the trend, with many stocks hitting the ceiling.

All stocks increased strongly.

TV2 shares of Power Construction Consulting Joint Stock Company 2 increased to the ceiling price of VND34,300/share, after the company signed a cooperation agreement with First Solar Vietnam Production Company Limited. This agreement opens up great opportunities in the direct power purchase mechanism (DPPA) and solar module supply.

Under the agreement, TV2 will provide green, clean electricity at reasonable costs, while helping First Solar achieve its goal of using 100% renewable energy by 2028. This positive news pushed TV2 shares up sharply, leading to many electricity and energy stocks increasing in price.

Construction and public investment stocks also saw strong growth. PC1 shares of PC1 Corporation opened the session with an impressive increase of 3%-4%. VCG shares of Vietnam Construction Import-Export Corporation hit the ceiling price before cooling down, closing the session up nearly 6%, reaching VND18,200/share.

Other codes such as HBC of Hoa Binh Construction Group Corporation, HHV of Deo Ca Transport Infrastructure Investment Corporation, KSB of Binh Duong Minerals and Construction Corporation, and FCN of FECON Corporation all recorded ceiling increases.

In addition, BCM shares of Industrial Investment and Development Corporation increased sharply, reaching nearly the ceiling price of VND69,400/share. Another highlight was CNN shares of Coninco Construction Technology Equipment Consulting and Inspection Corporation, listed on the UpCOM floor, also increased sharply to VND51,700/share.

According to experts, many positive factors are supporting the stock market. Investment channels such as real estate, gold and cryptocurrencies are no longer attractive, while high savings interest rates are not attractive enough to attract cash flow. The stock market has become a bright spot, especially when it anticipates the expected growth wave in the 2025-2026 period.

In addition, the Government is stepping up public investment disbursement and promoting infrastructure construction, contributing to the strong increase in public investment stocks. In recent sessions, foreign investors have also returned to net buying, focusing on banking stocks and some real estate companies with ongoing projects, helping the market to flourish.
