Vietnamese EV manufacturer VinFast VFS becomes the third largest automaker by market capitalization globally, following closely those of Tesla TSLA and Toyota TOYOF, Nikkei Asia reported.
VinFast’s shares soared 20% in the U.S. market on Monday, pushing its market capitalization to $191.2 billion. Despite its U.S. operations not being fully operational, the EV boom has prompted a buying frenzy among individual investors.
Data from FactSet reveals that, as of Aug. 25, Tesla leads the pack with a market cap of $760 billion, followed by Toyota at $270 billion.
- Massive Demand & Disruptive Potential – Boxabl has received interest for over 190,000 homes, positioning itself as a major disruptor in the housing market.
- Revolutionary Manufacturing Approach – Inspired by Henry Ford’s assembly line, Boxabl’s foldable tiny homes are designed for high-efficiency production, making homeownership more accessible.
- Affordable Investment Opportunity – With homes priced at $60,000, Boxabl is raising $1 billion to scale production, offering investors a chance to own a stake in its growth.
VinFast, established in 2017 and operational in the EV market since 2022, was listed on the Nasdaq in mid-August. On its first trading day, its market cap overtook that of automobile veterans General Motors GM and Ford Motor F.
The company, despite posting a net loss for 2022, has made strides in its EV business. It has plans to construct a plant in North Carolina. However, its share price is potentially volatile as approximately 99% of its shares are held by three companies, including parent conglomerate Vingroup.
