Vietnam stocks ‘extremely cheap’: Finnish fund
The market’s forward price-to-earning (P/E) ratio has declined from 14.1 to 10.9 since April, tracking the 23 percent drop by the benchmark VN-Index. The fund’s founder, Petri Deryng, said the crash came as "a complete surprise" as there was news of robust earnings growth and valuations were modest. Vietnam’s valuations are now irrational with a forward P/E ratio of 10.9 though Q1 earnings growth was 31 percent and the forecast for the full year is 19-29 percent, he said. Vietnam’s five-year historical rolling P/E has been 16.5, and even topped 20 during periods of strong earnings growth, he pointed out. "The outlook of the global stock markets cannot be ignored when assessing the possible timing of the bull runs of the Vietnamese market, but at these valuations Vietnam offers a stable economy and extremely cheap stocks," he said in a note published Thursday. Vietnam’s stock market was affected by the conflict in Ukraine and the fall of the Nasdaq, but the crash was mainly … [Read more...] about Vietnam stocks ‘extremely cheap’: Finnish fund

Va-va-vovinam: Vietnam’s martial art flies on SEA Games return
Faced with a machete, the fighter leaps and locks his legs around the other man's neck, bringing him crashing down to a cacophony of cheers. This is vovinam, Vietnam's acrobatic martial art with roots dating back to the country's struggle for independence, and it is showing at the SEA Games for the first time since 2013. Proponents are trained to use not only their hands and legs to grapple a rival to the ground, but also fend off assailants armed with blades. Short for "Vo Viet Nam" (literally "Vietnamese Martial Arts") it was inspired by nationalists who sought an end to the country’s French colonial rule. Created in the 1930s, it borrows from elements of Chinese kung fu and other Asian styles but was crafted to suit the Vietnamese of the time. "In the past, the Vietnamese people were small," SEA Games silver medallist Tran The Thuong told AFP outside a packed gymnasium near the capital Hanoi where the artists, men and women, grappled in matches. "(It was made from) … [Read more...] about Va-va-vovinam: Vietnam’s martial art flies on SEA Games return

Vietnam, Thailand nip and tuck in men’s football final at 31st SEA Games
Vietnam U23s are scheduled to face their archrivals Thailand U23s in the final of men’s football at the 31st Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Hanoi on Sunday evening. The highly-anticipated match will begin at 7:00 pm on Sunday at My Dinh National Stadium in the capital city and will be aired on VTV6 Channel, FPT Play, and ONFootball. Experts considered that Vietnam U23s and their Thai peers as neck and neck, and that any team can win if making good use of their opportunities. Some believed that the Golden Stars, who are defending their SEA Games gold medal, will triumph and seize the gold medal thanks to their home field advantage. Vietnam lost to Thailand in men’s football finals five times at the previous SEA Games in 1995, 1999, 2003, 2005, and 2009. Despite the home field advantage, the Vietnamese players lost the gold medal to their archrivals in 2003, when Vietnam hosted the Games for the first time.
