Why VinFast Auto stock is back in focus

VinFast Auto (VFS) has drawn fresh attention after reporting preliminary June 2026 deliveries of 17,955 EVs in Vietnam and year to date volumes of 115,916 vehicles, a 72% jump versus last year.

See our latest analysis for VinFast Auto.

The deliveries update comes after a busy week for VinFast Auto, with a new Certified Pre Owned program launched in the US and a leadership appointment for its Middle East operations. Even with a recent 1 month share price return of 3.62% and a 7 day share price return of 2.61%, momentum contrasts with a 90 day share price return that is down 33.82% and a 3 year total shareholder return that is down 69.30%. This suggests sentiment is still working through earlier concerns despite the latest operational milestones.

For VinFast Auto, that modest recent rebound sits against years of weak returns and a business that is still loss making. Is the latest move a sign the fundamentals are catching up or just sentiment swinging again?

Another view on VinFast Auto valuation

The analyst narrative suggests VinFast Auto is undervalued at $3.15 versus a $6.05 fair value. Yet on simple sales metrics, the picture flips. VinFast Auto trades on a P/S of about 2x, compared with 0.6x for the US Auto industry, 1.2x for peers, and a fair ratio of just 0.1x.

If the market shifted closer to that fair ratio, the implied reset in expectations would be steep. That kind of gap can either close through fundamentals catching up or the share price moving. Which path do you think is more realistic for VinFast Auto?
