VFS

Shares of VinFast Auto Ltd. (NASDAQ:VFS) dropped on Monday due to several factors. The stock has been volatile since its debut on Nasdaq in mid-August. The majority of shares are held by only three companies, which has contributed to the stock's decline. The company's second-quarter financial results also led to a decrease in share price. However, a recent report suggesting the company's plan to set up a manufacturing plant in India boosted the stock last Thursday, but the selloff resumed on Monday, with shares trading lower by over 21%.
