VinFast Founder's GSM to Buy 1M EVs, Launches U.S. Taxi Service
VFS is trading near its 52-week low of $2.78 (9.0% above the low).
Summary
GSM, controlled by VinFast founder Pham Nhat Vuong, plans to purchase up to 1 million VinFast EVs between 2026 and 2030, a massive order that would absorb a large portion of the company's production capacity. GSM is also expanding into the U.S., Sweden, and the Netherlands this year, with wider Europe in 2027. Separately, VinFast subsidiary Green SM has launched a VinFast-branded all-electric taxi service in the U.S., marking the first operational deployment of VinFast EVs in American taxi fleets. This follows the September CEO transition and strong delivery growth reported in recent months. The 1M-unit commitment provides multi-year demand visibility, while the U.S. taxi launch offers a real-world showcase for the brand in a key market.
