The top-performing stock was ATA of Ntaco JSC with a value surge of 2,050 percent. It is being traded on the Unlisted Public Company Market (UpCoM) with total capitalisation worth more than 50 billion VND (2.19 million USD). From just 200 VND per unit at the beginning of 2021, ATA is now being traded at 4,300 VND per unit. Its value peaked on November 1 at 5,400 VND per unit.

However, there has been no transaction or if any, of small volume of the stock on the market.

It is noteworthy that the consecutive surge of TGG and other stocks related to the Louis Holdings in August and September has triggered concern of investors. The State Securities Commission sent an inspection team to work with Louis Holdings in early October on the abnormal developments of those stocks.

The stock market has set records in terms of scores, liquidity and the number of new accounts this year, as investors have seen it as a shelter amid complex developments of the COVID-19 pandemic.
