VFS

Shares of Vietnamese EV maker VinFast Auto Ltd (NASDAQ:VFS) have been extremely volatile since its debut on the Nasdaq last week. The company's shares surged approximately 270% in its first day of trading before pulling back. The volatility is partly due to the fact that only 1% of the float was opened to outside investors, with the remaining 99% owned by the company's founder. The company's stock has also been trending among retail traders. Additionally, reports suggest that the company's magnet supplier, South Korea's Star Group Industrial, is investing $80 million in a new factory in Vietnam to double output, which may have contributed to the stock's resurgence.
