The tech stock makes up an astounding 40.5% ($126.6 billion) of invested assets and has been labeled by the Oracle of Omaha as one of Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s &#34;four giants.&#34;</p><p>There is a long list of reasons for Buffett and his investment team to have such strong convictions in Apple.

Effective Federal Funds Rate data by YCharts.</p><h3>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BAC\">Bank of America</a>: 10.5% of invested assets</h3><p>Though Apple is Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s largest holding by a significant amount, bank stocks will forever be Warren Buffett&#39;s favorite industry. The $32.7 billion invested in money-center giant <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BAC\">Bank of America</a> is no surprise at all.</p><p>The beauty of bank stocks is their cyclical ties. Even though recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, they&#39;re usually short-lived. By comparison, periods of economic expansion almost always last for years. Banks benefit from disproportionately long periods of expansion by growing their loans and deposits. It&#39;s a simple numbers game that favors patient investors like Buffett.</p><p>On a more company-specific level, Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive of the big banks. When the interest rate yield curve shifts, no bank sees its net interest income rise or fall more than BofA. With the Federal Reserve aggressively raising interest rates to tame historically high inflation, Bank of America can expect billions of dollars in added net interest income on its outstanding variable-rate loans.</p><p>BofA has a sizable capital return program as well. During bull markets, it&#39;s not uncommon for the company to return in excess of $20 billion to shareholders annually via dividends and buybacks.</p><h3>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVX\">Chevron</a>: 8.4% of invested assets</h3><p>Integrated oil and gas company <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVX\">Chevron</a> is Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s third-largest holding ($26.2 billion of invested assets) and a relatively newer addition to the portfolio.</p><p>Betting big on energy isn&#39;t something Warren Buffett is known for. However, certain factors do suggest that energy commodity prices could remain elevated for years to come. Russia&#39;s invasions of Ukraine, coupled with global energy majors&#39; significant reduction in capital investment during the COVID-19 pandemic, will make it difficult to quickly boost the global supply of crude oil and natural gas.</p><p>Another selling point for Chevron is its operating structure. Being &#34;integrated&#34; means Chevron controls upstream (drilling and exploration), midstream (transmission pipeline), and downstream (chemical plants and refineries) assets. While drilling brings home the juiciest operating margin, the company&#39;s midstream assets can generate highly predictable cash flow. Meanwhile, downstream assets benefit from lower input costs when crude falls. In short, downstream assets act as a hedge against falling prices.</p><p>You shouldn&#39;t be shocked to learn that Chevron is also quite generous with its capital return program. Chevron has raised its base annual payout for 35 consecutive years, and the company may repurchase up to $15 billion of its shares this year.</p><h3>4. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/KO\">Coca-Cola</a>: 7% of invested assets</h3><p>Beverage behemoth <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/KO\">Coca-Cola</a> is Warren Buffett&#39;s longest-tenured holding (34 years), as well as Berkshire&#39;s fourth-largest position by market value ($22 billion).</p><p>Strong branding plays a key role in Coke&#39;s long-term outperformance. Few companies on the planet can cross generational gaps with ease and connect with consumers. Coca-Cola can do this by utilizing social media and well-known ambassadors to reach younger consumers while leaning on its holiday tie-ins to connect with more mature audiences.</p><p>Coca-Cola&#39;s geographic diversity is another reason for its bubbling success. With the exception of Cuba, North Korea, and Russia (the latter is due to its invasion of Ukraine), Coke has operations in every country worldwide. It holds about a 20% share of the cold beverage market in developed countries, which produce predictable cash flow, and a 10% share of the cold beverage space in faster-growing emerging markets.</p><p>Coca-Cola is a big-time dividend payer, too, with a 60-year streak of increasing its base annual payout. More importantly, Berkshire is netting an amazing 54% yield on Coca-Cola relative to its initial cost basis of about $3.25 per share.</p><h3>5. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AXP\">American Express</a>: 6.6% of invested assets</h3><p>Have I mentioned Warren Buffett likes financial stocks? Second only to Coca-Cola in a continuous holding period is financial services company <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AXP\">American Express</a>. AmEx, as it&#39;s better known, has been a Berkshire Hathaway staple for the past 29 years.</p><p>Similar to Bank of America, AmEx benefits from long periods of economic expansion. Specifically, it&#39;s able to &#34;double dip.&#34; In addition to collecting payment processing fees from merchants, it acts as a lender via credit cards. Lengthy bull markets give AmEx an opportunity to generate interest income and fees.</p><p>Buffett should also be happy with AmEx&#39;s ability to attract affluent clientele. High-earning individuals are less likely to alter their spending habits or fail to meet their repayment obligations during minor domestic or global economic hiccups. These well-to-do customers help AmEx navigate downturns better than most lenders.</p><p>Further, American Express is an income powerhouse -- at least to Berkshire Hathaway. Thanks to a low cost basis of $8.49 per AmEx share, Buffett&#39;s company is netting a 24.5% annual yield on cost!</p><h3>6. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OXY\">Occidental Petroleum</a>: 4.1% of invested assets</h3><p>Lastly, Buffett&#39;s company has almost $13 billion invested in integrated oil and gas stock <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OXY\">Occidental Petroleum</a>. Note this $13 billion doesn&#39;t include the $10 billion in Occidental preferred stock Berkshire Hathaway purchased in 2019.</p><p>Among these six top holdings, Occidental is the newest and, arguably, the position Buffett has built up most aggressively this year. Pardon the pun, but the catalysts fueling Chevron are the same for Occidental Petroleum. As long as the global energy supply chain remains broken or constrained, demand should provide a healthy floor beneath the price of crude oil and natural gas.</p><p>Though it&#39;s an integrated provider like Chevron, even more of Occidental&#39;s sales are skewed toward its drilling and exploration operations. If oil and natural gas prices remain well above average, Occidental Petroleum has a chance to benefit even more than Chevron.</p><p>To keep with the theme, there&#39;s a handsome capital return in store for Berkshire Hathaway. Though Occidental&#39;s 0.8% dividend yield is nothing to write home about, Berkshire <i>is</i> generating an 8% annual yield on its $10 billion preferred stock position. Altogether, Buffett&#39;s company should collect $901 million in dividend income from Occidental Petroleum over the next 12 months.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>77% of Warren Buffett's $313 Billion Portfolio is Invested in These 6 Stocks</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n77% of Warren Buffett's $313 Billion Portfolio is Invested in These 6 Stocks\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-10-22 07:26 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/10/21/77-warren-buffett-portfolio-invested-in-6-stocks/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Few high-profile money managers have a nose for making money quite like Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett.

Apple: 40.5% of invested assetsWarren Buffett's love for portfolio concentration is readily on display with his company's position in Apple.

The $43.85 price decline shaved about 267 points off the Dow Jones Transportation Average, accounting for more than one-third of the Dow transports’ 685.39-point, or 5.1% drop, to 12,825.34.</p><p>The transportation sector tracker broke below its June 17 closing low of 12,868.60, which at the time marked the lowest close in 16 months.</p><p>The Dow transports’ selloff has sent an important message about the health of the broader stock market, given that the index is viewed by many as a leading economic indicator. There’s a saying on Wall Street that the companies in the Dow transports “take” to buyers what the companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average “make.”</p><p>Basically, if transports aren’t taking, the economy isn’t moving, and the stock market will be falling.</p><p>The Dow transports’ new low follows a big 18.2% bounce off the June low to the mid-August closing high of 15,209.96. But since that high was well below the first recovery high seen in March of 16,718.54, which in turn was below the November 2021 record close of 17,039.38, the index has continued a pattern of lower lows and lower highs, which many Wall Street chart watchers say defines a bear market.</p><p>And perhaps more significantly, the lower low completes one half of a “sell” signal, according to some followers of the century-old Dow Theory of market analysis.</p><p>As Mark Hulbert, MarketWatch contributor and founder of Hulbert Ratings LLC, has written, many agree that there are three key ingredients to a Dow Theory “sell” signal.</p><p>First, the Dow industrials and Dow transports must suffer significant selloffs after reaching new highs — Check. The respective June closing lows marked a 24.4% decline in the Dow transports from its record close in November and an 18.8% drop in the Dow industrials from a January record close.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/08496542bc0255e974b525be5c16073d\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"486\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>FACTSET, MARKETWATCH</span></p><p>Second, significant rallies off the respective lows fail to reach the previous highs — Check. The Dow transports bounced 18.2% off its June low, and the Dow industrials bounced 14.3%, to the mid-August highs, but those highs were well below the respective previous highs.</p><p>And third, both indexes fall below the lows referenced in the “First” ingredient — the indexes are halfway there.</p><p>The Dow transports have checked that box, but the Dow industrials, which slumped 139.40 points, or 0.5%, to 30,822.42 on Friday, were still more than 900 points above the June 17 closing low of 29,888.78.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The $43.85 price decline shaved about 267 points off the Dow Jones Transportation Average, accounting for more than one-third of the Dow transports’ 685.39-point, or 5.1% drop, to 12,825.34.The transportation sector tracker broke below its June 17 closing low of 12,868.60, which at the time marked the lowest close in 16 months.The Dow transports’ selloff has sent an important message about the health of the broader stock market, given that the index is viewed by many as a leading economic indicator. There’s a saying on Wall Street that the companies in the Dow transports “take” to buyers what the companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average “make.”Basically, if transports aren’t taking, the economy isn’t moving, and the stock market will be falling.The Dow transports’ new low follows a big 18.2% bounce off the June low to the mid-August closing high of 15,209.96. But since that high was well below the first recovery high seen in March of 16,718.54, which in turn was below the November 2021 record close of 17,039.38, the index has continued a pattern of lower lows and lower highs, which many Wall Street chart watchers say defines a bear market.And perhaps more significantly, the lower low completes one half of a “sell” signal, according to some followers of the century-old Dow Theory of market analysis.As Mark Hulbert, MarketWatch contributor and founder of Hulbert Ratings LLC, has written, many agree that there are three key ingredients to a Dow Theory “sell” signal.First, the Dow industrials and Dow transports must suffer significant selloffs after reaching new highs — Check. The respective June closing lows marked a 24.4% decline in the Dow transports from its record close in November and an 18.8% drop in the Dow industrials from a January record close.FACTSET, MARKETWATCHSecond, significant rallies off the respective lows fail to reach the previous highs — Check. The Dow transports bounced 18.2% off its June low, and the Dow industrials bounced 14.3%, to the mid-August highs, but those highs were well below the respective previous highs.And third, both indexes fall below the lows referenced in the “First” ingredient — the indexes are halfway there.The Dow transports have checked that box, but the Dow industrials, which slumped 139.40 points, or 0.5%, to 30,822.42 on Friday, were still more than 900 points above the June 17 closing low of 29,888.78.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":510,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9933774373,"gmtCreate":1662352072592,"gmtModify":1676537043556,"author":{"id":"3573978021681248","authorId":"3573978021681248","name":"KST66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9933774373","repostId":"1130372891","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130372891","pubTimestamp":1662346022,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1130372891?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-05

parcel of the economic cycle.</p><p>In recent months, there has been a growing chorus of opinions stating that an economic downturn is on its way.</p><p>Even Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has chimed in, cautioning that a recession may hit Singapore’s shores either next year or in 2024.</p><p>It’s natural to feel worried about whether your investment portfolio can hold up should a severe recession befall us.</p><p>Rather than predict when the recession is coming, or whether there will even be a recession, I have found that it is more helpful to prepare for one instead.</p><p>By fortifying your investment portfolio, it can better withstand the headwinds that accompany a downturn.</p><p>By positioning your portfolio wisely, you can also stand it in good stead to ride the economic upswing that immediately follows every recession.</p><p>Here are several tips you can use to stand ready should a recession hit.</p><h3>Stick with robust blue-chip stocks</h3><p>Select blue-chip stocks should form a firm foundation for your portfolio.</p><p>It makes intuitive sense to do so.</p><p>Familiar blue-chip names such as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/D05.SI\">DBS Group</a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/S68.SI\">Singapore Exchange Limited </a>, or SGX, have gone through numerous boom and bust cycles.</p><p>Having the experience and track record makes these companies more likely to get through the next downturn unscathed.</p><p>Their large size, strong franchise and professional management teams also have the competence and expertise to steer the business through rough seas.</p><p>It also helps that both stocks pay out a steady quarterly dividend.</p><p>DBS Group currently pays S$0.36 per quarter while SGX doles out a quarterly dividend of S$0.08 per share, giving the former a forward dividend yield of 4.4% and the latter a historical dividend yield of 3.6%.</p><h3>Fortify with strong REITs</h3><p>With the foundational layer built up, you can then consider fortifying the portfolio further with a bunch of strong, well-managed REITs.</p><p>REITs are known for being dependable income instruments as they are mandated to pay out at least 90% of their earnings to enjoy tax benefits.</p><p>The key is to select REITs with strong sponsors, high-quality and well-located assets, and which also boast an impressive track record of increasing their DPU through good times and bad.</p><p>A good example will be <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ME8U.SI\">Mapletree Industrial Trust</a>, or MIT.</p><p>The industrial REIT has a strong sponsor in Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd, a real estate investment and development company with S$78.7 billion of properties as of 31 March 2022.</p><p>MIT owns 141 properties across six property segments with a tenant base of more than 2,000 tenants.</p><p>The REIT has also reported an unbroken rise in distribution per unit (DPU) since fiscal 2011/2012.</p><p>DPU has increased for 10 consecutive years with fiscal 2022’s DPU at S$0.138, giving the REIT’s units a trailing distribution yield of 5.1%.</p><h3>Add in a layer of dependable dividend stocks</h3><p>To keep the dividends flowing while also capturing some growth, you can layer on smaller companies that possess both growth and dividends.</p><p>An example of a dependable dividend payer is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OV8.SI\">Sheng Siong Group Ltd </a>.</p><p>The retailer is not only resilient in the face of downturns but has also managed to grow its store count steadily over the years.</p><p>Sheng Siong’s most recent fiscal 2022 first half (1H2022) earnings saw the group report a 2.1% year on year increase in net profit while the interim dividend rose slightly to S$0.0315 from S$0.031 last year.</p><p>The retailer has grown its store count by three from 63 last June to the current 66 stores.</p><p>Another dependable dividend stock is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/5DD.SI\">Micro-Mechanics (Holdings) Ltd </a>, which designs and manufactures tools and parts used in the semiconductor industry.</p><p>The group has nearly tripled its annual dividend from S$0.05 in fiscal 2015 to S$0.14 in fiscal 2021.</p><h3>Keep some cash handy</h3><p>Finally, it’s always useful to keep some cash on hand to take advantage of any opportunities that the stock market may throw up.</p><p>By having some dry powder with you, you can then swoop in to purchase shares of great companies should there be a sharp market downswing.</p><p>The market can be volatile in the short-term and share prices can plunge for all sorts of reasons.</p><p>Cash may give poor returns while sitting in your bank account, but it opens you up to great opportunities to accumulate when everyone else is panicking and selling.</p><p>So, remember to take these tips to heart and you won’t have to worry about your investment portfolio even if a recession does arrive in the next few quarters.</p><p>Our beginner’s guide to investing is finally here!

immediately follows every recession.Here are several tips you can use to stand ready should a recession hit.Stick with robust blue-chip stocksSelect blue-chip stocks should form a firm foundation for your portfolio.It makes intuitive sense to do so.Familiar blue-chip names such as DBS Group and Singapore Exchange Limited , or SGX, have gone through numerous boom and bust cycles.Having the experience and track record makes these companies more likely to get through the next downturn unscathed.Their large size, strong franchise and professional management teams also have the competence and expertise to steer the business through rough seas.It also helps that both stocks pay out a steady quarterly dividend.DBS Group currently pays S$0.36 per quarter while SGX doles out a quarterly dividend of S$0.08 per share, giving the former a forward dividend yield of 4.4% and the latter a historical dividend yield of 3.6%.Fortify with strong REITsWith the foundational layer built up, you can then consider fortifying the portfolio further with a bunch of strong, well-managed REITs.REITs are known for being dependable income instruments as they are mandated to pay out at least 90% of their earnings to enjoy tax benefits.The key is to select REITs with strong sponsors, high-quality and well-located assets, and which also boast an impressive track record of increasing their DPU through good times and bad.A good example will be Mapletree Industrial Trust, or MIT.The industrial REIT has a strong sponsor in Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd, a real estate investment and development company with S$78.7 billion of properties as of 31 March 2022.MIT owns 141 properties across six property segments with a tenant base of more than 2,000 tenants.The REIT has also reported an unbroken rise in distribution per unit (DPU) since fiscal 2011/2012.DPU has increased for 10 consecutive years with fiscal 2022’s DPU at S$0.138, giving the REIT’s units a trailing distribution yield of 5.1%.Add in a layer of dependable dividend stocksTo keep the dividends flowing while also capturing some growth, you can layer on smaller companies that possess both growth and dividends.An example of a dependable dividend payer is Sheng Siong Group Ltd .The retailer is not only resilient in the face of downturns but has also managed to grow its store count steadily over the years.Sheng Siong’s most recent fiscal 2022 first half (1H2022) earnings saw the group report a 2.1% year on year increase in net profit while the interim dividend rose slightly to S$0.0315 from S$0.031 last year.The retailer has grown its store count by three from 63 last June to the current 66 stores.Another dependable dividend stock is Micro-Mechanics (Holdings) Ltd , which designs and manufactures tools and parts used in the semiconductor industry.The group has nearly tripled its annual dividend from S$0.05 in fiscal 2015 to S$0.14 in fiscal 2021.Keep some cash handyFinally, it’s always useful to keep some cash on hand to take advantage of any opportunities that the stock market may throw up.By having some dry powder with you, you can then swoop in to purchase shares of great companies should there be a sharp market downswing.The market can be volatile in the short-term and share prices can plunge for all sorts of reasons.Cash may give poor returns while sitting in your bank account, but it opens you up to great opportunities to accumulate when everyone else is panicking and selling.So, remember to take these tips to heart and you won’t have to worry about your investment portfolio even if a recession does arrive in the next few quarters.Our beginner’s guide to investing is finally here!

their business may be floundering or they may have temporarily hit a rough patch.</p><p>It’s important to tell these two scenarios apart as the former will cause more heartache but the latter represents a great opportunity to accumulate.</p><p>Here are four Singapore stocks that recently hit their 52-week lows.</p><p>We provide the facts but you need to decide if these stocks may be suitable for your portfolio.</p><p><b>Keppel Pacific Oak US REIT (SGX: CMOU)</b></p><p>Keppel Pacific Oak US REIT, or KORE, invests in commercial assets in key growth markets in the US.</p><p>Its portfolio comprises 15 freehold office buildings and business campuses across nine US states with a total asset value of US$1.45 billion as of 30 June 2022.</p><p>KORE’s share price has tumbled around 18% year to date and has hit a 52-week low of US$0.66.</p><p>The office REIT reported a steady set of earnings for its fiscal 2022’s first half (1H2022).</p><p>Gross revenue rose 8.4% year on year to US$74.1 million while net property income (NPI) increased by 5.9% year on year to US$43 million.</p><p>Distributio nper unit (DPU), however, fell by 4.4% year on year to US$0.0302, with part of the reason being that the manager’s base fee for the second quarter is being paid entirely in cash rather than in units of KORE.</p><p>The REIT maintains a high portfolio committed occupancy of 92%.</p><p>Its aggregate leverage stands at 37.2% with an all-in average cost of debt of 2.88%. 77.1% of the KORE’s total borrowings are on fixed rates.</p><p>However, if the borrowings are refinanced, the average cost of debt will rise to 3.15%.</p><p><b>Manulife US REIT (SGX: BTOU)</b></p><p>Manulife US REIT, or MUST, owns a portfolio of 12 freehold office properties in the US valued at around US$2.2 billion as of 31 December 2021.</p><p>The commercial REIT has seen its unit price tumble 20.9% year to date to a 52-week low of US$0.53.</p><p>1H2022 saw gross revenue rise 10.6% year on year to US$100.4 million while NPI inched up 2.8% year on year to US$57.6 million.</p><p>DPU dipped by 3.3% year on year to US$0.0261.</p><p>MUST reported 90% occupancy for its portfolio but physical occupancy only came in at around 28%.</p><p>The commercial REIT’s gearing is on the high side at 42.4% as of 30 June 2022 but more than 85% of its loans are on fixed rates.</p><p>Around 96% of MUST’s portfolio has rental escalations incorporated into its tenancy agreements that should see a 2.2% per annum uplift in rental income.</p><p><b>Yangzijiang Financial Holding Ltd (SGX: YF8)</b></p><p>Yangzijiang Financial, or YZJF, is an investment management company that invests in public and private companies, debt investments, and funds.</p><p>The group also provides wealth management services to clients and generates fee-based income through fund management activities.</p><p>Since it was spun off from parent <b>Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Holdings Ltd</b> (SGX: BS6) back in April, its share price has tumbled 43% to a 52-week low of S$0.35.</p><p>YZJF reported a 27.3% year on year fall in total income to S$173.8 million due to a fall in the fair values of financial assets that it holds.</p><p>Net profit tumbled by 30.6% year on year to S$136.4 million.</p><p>As of 30 June, close to 90% of YZJF’s investments are in China, with the remainder parked in Singapore.</p><p>The group’s medium-term target is to reduce its debt investment in China from the current 70% to just 30% while increasing its investment proportion in Singapore to around half of the portfolio.</p><p><b>Top Glove Corporation Berhad (SGX: BVA)</b></p><p>Top Glove is the world’s largest manufacturer of gloves with 49 factories capable of producing 100 billion pieces per annum as of 9 June 2022.</p><p>The group exports to more than 195 countries worldwide and employs 22,000 staff.</p><p>Top Glove’s share price has weakened by nearly 68% this year, falling from S$0.78 to a 52-week low of S$0.25.</p><p>For the first nine months of fiscal 2022 (9M2022) ended 31 May, Top Glove saw its revenue plummet 68.5% year on year to RM 4.5 billion as glove demand normalised with higher global vaccination rates.</p><p>Net profit plunged by 96% year on year to RM 288.6 million.</p><p>Average selling prices continued to decline but at a slower pace, and the poor results were due to the inability of the group to fully pass on higher costs.</p><p>In light of lower demand, Top Glove is deferred and reducing capital expenditure in the near term until the glove oversupply situation eases.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1602567310727","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta

Corporation Limited</b> (SGX: C52), or CDG.</p><p>With more COVID-19 restrictions being relaxed in countries where the group is operating, the land transport giant has reported a better set of financial numbers for its fiscal 2022’s first half (1H2022).</p><p>In addition, CDG also declared a special dividend of S$0.0141 per share, rewarding shareholders from the gains it made from the disposal of a London property.</p><p>What makes this payout extra special is that it is the first time in 15 years that the group has done so.</p><p>Chairman Lim Jit Poh also indicated that the group is open to paying out special dividends should there be extraordinary gains in the future.</p><p>Here are seven other highlights from CDG’s latest 1H2022 earnings.</p><p><b>1. Significantly higher operating and net profits</b></p><p>Revenue for the group inched up 6.7% year on year to S$1.86 billion.</p><p>Operating profit edged up 2.9% year on year to S$136.8 million, but last year’s operating profit had been boosted by COVID-19 government reliefs.</p><p>Stripping the relief out, operating profit would have surged by 67.8% year on year as economies opened up.</p><p>Finally, net profit rose 30.4% year on year to S$118.7 million, helped by a S$38.8 million net gain on the disposal of a property (see point 2).</p><p><b>2. Gain on disposal of property</b></p><p>CDG’s results this round were boosted by the gain on the sale of Alperton property in the UK of S$37.2 million.</p><p>As a result, the group’s cash flow statement reflected a nearly four-fold jump in proceeds from the disposal of fixed assets, from S$16.1 million to S$63.1 million.</p><p>Free cash flow for 1H2022 remained healthy at S$126.7 million, though this level is less than half the S$271.4 million generated in the prior year.</p><p><b>3. A mixed performance by region</b></p><p>Singapore was, by far, the largest contributor to CDG’s operating profit once again at 72%.</p><p>Next in line was Australia at 28% of group operating profit excluding disposals and government reliefs.</p><p>However, when it comes to performance between regions, the results were mixed.</p><p>Singapore saw its operating profit more than double year on year to S$91.5 million for 1H2022.</p><p>Australia’s operating profit dipped slightly from S$37.8 million to S$36 million but China saw a near-70% year on year plunge in operating profit due to COVID restrictions.</p><p>Elsewhere, the UK and Ireland saw a significant narrowing of operating losses but still posted a small operating loss of S$3.4 million.</p><p><b>4. Higher profits from public transport and taxi divisions</b></p><p>Public transport services made up close to 80% of CDG’s group revenue but makes up around half of group operating profit.</p><p>With more people riding on public transport, operating profit for the division inched up from S$82.5 million to S$85.6 million.</p><p>However, the Taxi division saw revenue fall 6.5% year on year to S$211.3 million principally due to lockdowns in China and lack of contributions from the London and Vietnam taxi businesses following their divestment in 2021 and this year, respectively.</p><p>On the bright side, operating profit for this division rose 18.4% year on year on the back of an increase in Singapore taxi revenue.</p><p><b>5. Dividend yield above 4%</b></p><p>CDG declared an interim dividend of S$0.0285, up 35.7% year on year from 1H2021’s S$0.021.</p><p>Together with the special dividend of S$0.0141, the total dividend announced this round came up to S$0.0426.</p><p>Coupled with last year’s final dividend of S$0.021, the trailing 12-month dividend stood at S$0.0636, giving CDG’s shares a trailing dividend yield of 4.4%.</p><p><b>6.

Significantly higher operating and net profitsRevenue for the group inched up 6.7% year on year to S$1.86 billion.Operating profit edged up 2.9% year on year to S$136.8 million, but last year’s operating profit had been boosted by COVID-19 government reliefs.Stripping the relief out, operating profit would have surged by 67.8% year on year as economies opened up.Finally, net profit rose 30.4% year on year to S$118.7 million, helped by a S$38.8 million net gain on the disposal of a property (see point 2).2. Gain on disposal of propertyCDG’s results this round were boosted by the gain on the sale of Alperton property in the UK of S$37.2 million.As a result, the group’s cash flow statement reflected a nearly four-fold jump in proceeds from the disposal of fixed assets, from S$16.1 million to S$63.1 million.Free cash flow for 1H2022 remained healthy at S$126.7 million, though this level is less than half the S$271.4 million generated in the prior year.3. A mixed performance by regionSingapore was, by far, the largest contributor to CDG’s operating profit once again at 72%.Next in line was Australia at 28% of group operating profit excluding disposals and government reliefs.However, when it comes to performance between regions, the results were mixed.Singapore saw its operating profit more than double year on year to S$91.5 million for 1H2022.Australia’s operating profit dipped slightly from S$37.8 million to S$36 million but China saw a near-70% year on year plunge in operating profit due to COVID restrictions.Elsewhere, the UK and Ireland saw a significant narrowing of operating losses but still posted a small operating loss of S$3.4 million.4. Higher profits from public transport and taxi divisionsPublic transport services made up close to 80% of CDG’s group revenue but makes up around half of group operating profit.With more people riding on public transport, operating profit for the division inched up from S$82.5 million to S$85.6 million.However, the Taxi division saw revenue fall 6.5% year on year to S$211.3 million principally due to lockdowns in China and lack of contributions from the London and Vietnam taxi businesses following their divestment in 2021 and this year, respectively.On the bright side, operating profit for this division rose 18.4% year on year on the back of an increase in Singapore taxi revenue.5. Dividend yield above 4%CDG declared an interim dividend of S$0.0285, up 35.7% year on year from 1H2021’s S$0.021.Together with the special dividend of S$0.0141, the total dividend announced this round came up to S$0.0426.Coupled with last year’s final dividend of S$0.021, the trailing 12-month dividend stood at S$0.0636, giving CDG’s shares a trailing dividend yield of 4.4%.6. Driving growth in four segmentsCDG plans to drive growth through investments in four business segments.These are rail, electrification, logistics, and non-emergency medical transportation.In 1H2022, the group’s 50% joint venture, Auckland One Rail, made its maiden contribution to group revenue.Investors can look forward to more acquisitions or partnerships in these four areas in the coming quarters.7. A cautious business outlookCDG sounded a cautious tone for its business outlook.High energy prices will negatively impact the public transport services division, and the impact of fuel indexation for public bus contracts remains unclear.Rail ridership in Singapore and bus and coach services in Australia and the UK are expected to improve, but taxi revenues in China continue to be badly impacted by the country’s COVID-zero policy.Meanwhile, high inflation rates will put pressure on margins for the group.Amid the challenges, CDG will carry on looking for suitable investments in smart and green mobility and continue to look for growth opportunities.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":230,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9907879763,"gmtCreate":1660178797855,"gmtModify":1703478761925,"author":{"id":"3573978021681248","authorId":"3573978021681248","name":"KST66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9907879763","repostId":"2258221706","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2258221706","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1660177446,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2258221706?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-11 08:24","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Singapore Q2 GDP Grows 4.4% Y/Y, Slower Than First Estimated","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2258221706","media":"Reuters","summary":"SINGAPORE, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Singapore's economy expanded less than initially estimated in the seco","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>SINGAPORE, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Singapore&#39;s economy expanded less than initially estimated in the second quarter, official data showed on Thursday.</p><p>Gross domestic product (GDP) grew 4.4% year-on-year in the second quarter, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) said, lower than the 4.8% growth seen in the government&#39;s advance estimate.</p><p>On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally adjusted basis, the economy contracted 0.2%, compared with the government&#39;s advance 0% estimate and the 0.8% growth in the first quarter.</p><p>The MTI said it would narrow its 2022 GDP growth forecast to &#34;3% to 4%&#34;

A strong set of financial numbers</b></p><p>SCI reported a 45% year on year jump in revenue to S$4.76 billion, with its Conventional Energy segment bringing in the lion’s share (87.4%) of the total.</p><p>Gross profit grew a smaller 28% year on year to S$677 million.</p><p>Net profit soared more than 10-fold to US$490 million as a result of higher profits from changes in the fair value of financial instruments, coupled with the absence of an impairment loss of S$206 million..</p><p>If the impairment loss is excluded, SCI’s net profit would have surged by 94% year on year.</p><p>The group had around S$1.66 billion of cash and financial assets as of 30 June 2022 along with S$8.7 billion of debt.</p><p>Free cash flow generated for 1H2022 was nearly 20% higher year on year at S$394 million.</p><p><b>2. Higher contributions from Energy segments</b></p><p>The group saw significantly better contributions from both its energy segments for 1H2022.</p><p>SCI’s Renewables division saw revenue climb 52.1% year on year from S$146 million to S$222 million with net profit for the segment more than tripling year on year to S$76 million.</p><p>The better result was due to new acquisitions in China, higher installed wind energy capacity in India, and higher selling prices for solar energy in Singapore.</p><p>As for Conventional Energy, revenue grew 50.8% year on year to S$4.16 billion while net profit (before exceptional items) more than doubled over the same period from S$187 million to S$397 million.</p><p>The division benefitted from higher electricity prices in India and Singapore along with gains from Singapore gas hedges entered into last year.</p><p><b>3. Good progress in growing renewables capacity</b></p><p>SCI’s gross installed renewables capacity has grown steadily over the years.</p><p>It stood at 2.6 gigawatts (GW) at end-2020 and has now more than doubled to 5.4 GW at end-1H2022.</p><p>1H2022 saw 0.9 GW being added, with a further 1.7 GW under development.</p><p>The utility group had completed acquisitions in China, secured renewable projects in India, and launched a solar farm in Singapore, among other successful business development efforts.</p><p>Together with projects under development, SCI’s gross renewables capacity will hit 7.1 GW.</p><p>The growth is in line with the group’s plan to grow its installed capacity to 10 GW by 2025 as articulated during itsInvestor Daylast year.</p><p><b>4. Doubling its interim dividend</b></p><p>In line with its strong performance, SCI has doubled its interim dividend from S$0.02 last year to S$0.04.</p><p>When added to the final dividend of S$0.03 for FY2021, the group’s trailing 12-month dividend stands at S$0.07, giving its share a trailing dividend yield of 2.3%.</p><p><b>5. A mixed outlook</b></p><p>For 2H2022, earnings from SCI’s Conventional Energy division are expected to hold up assuming market conditions remain favourable.</p><p>For its Renewables division, contributions will flow in from the China renewables portfolio that was acquired in 1H2022.</p><p>However, SCI did caution that higher corporate expenses are also on the cards.</p><p>Rising interest rateswill raise borrowing costs for the group even as it undertakes new acquisitions by tapping on debt.</p><p>Finally, volatility in the commodity markets, along with disrupted supply chains due to theRussia-Ukraine war, are also additional risks that investors need to be mindful of.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1602567310727","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

A strong set of financial numbersSCI reported a 45% year on year jump in revenue to S$4.76 billion, with its Conventional Energy segment bringing in the lion’s share (87.4%) of the total.Gross profit grew a smaller 28% year on year to S$677 million.Net profit soared more than 10-fold to US$490 million as a result of higher profits from changes in the fair value of financial instruments, coupled with the absence of an impairment loss of S$206 million..If the impairment loss is excluded, SCI’s net profit would have surged by 94% year on year.The group had around S$1.66 billion of cash and financial assets as of 30 June 2022 along with S$8.7 billion of debt.Free cash flow generated for 1H2022 was nearly 20% higher year on year at S$394 million.2. Higher contributions from Energy segmentsThe group saw significantly better contributions from both its energy segments for 1H2022.SCI’s Renewables division saw revenue climb 52.1% year on year from S$146 million to S$222 million with net profit for the segment more than tripling year on year to S$76 million.The better result was due to new acquisitions in China, higher installed wind energy capacity in India, and higher selling prices for solar energy in Singapore.As for Conventional Energy, revenue grew 50.8% year on year to S$4.16 billion while net profit (before exceptional items) more than doubled over the same period from S$187 million to S$397 million.The division benefitted from higher electricity prices in India and Singapore along with gains from Singapore gas hedges entered into last year.3. Good progress in growing renewables capacitySCI’s gross installed renewables capacity has grown steadily over the years.It stood at 2.6 gigawatts (GW) at end-2020 and has now more than doubled to 5.4 GW at end-1H2022.1H2022 saw 0.9 GW being added, with a further 1.7 GW under development.The utility group had completed acquisitions in China, secured renewable projects in India, and launched a solar farm in Singapore, among other successful business development efforts.Together with projects under development, SCI’s gross renewables capacity will hit 7.1 GW.The growth is in line with the group’s plan to grow its installed capacity to 10 GW by 2025 as articulated during itsInvestor Daylast year.4. Doubling its interim dividendIn line with its strong performance, SCI has doubled its interim dividend from S$0.02 last year to S$0.04.When added to the final dividend of S$0.03 for FY2021, the group’s trailing 12-month dividend stands at S$0.07, giving its share a trailing dividend yield of 2.3%.5. A mixed outlookFor 2H2022, earnings from SCI’s Conventional Energy division are expected to hold up assuming market conditions remain favourable.For its Renewables division, contributions will flow in from the China renewables portfolio that was acquired in 1H2022.However, SCI did caution that higher corporate expenses are also on the cards.Rising interest rateswill raise borrowing costs for the group even as it undertakes new acquisitions by tapping on debt.Finally, volatility in the commodity markets, along with disrupted supply chains due to theRussia-Ukraine war, are also additional risks that investors need to be mindful of.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":239,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9908431855,"gmtCreate":1659412359577,"gmtModify":1705980112967,"author":{"id":"3573978021681248","authorId":"3573978021681248","name":"KST66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9908431855","repostId":"1173234785","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":276,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9909260688,"gmtCreate":1658881015744,"gmtModify":1676536222008,"author":{"id":"3573978021681248","authorId":"3573978021681248","name":"KST66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9909260688","repostId":"1157699686","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":115,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9074517942,"gmtCreate":1658371891586,"gmtModify":1676536149520,"author":{"id":"3573978021681248","authorId":"3573978021681248","name":"KST66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9074517942","repostId":"1163305982","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1163305982","pubTimestamp":1658370483,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1163305982?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-07-21

The $43.85 price decline shaved about 267 points off the Dow Jones Transportation Average, accounting for more than one-third of the Dow transports’ 685.39-point, or 5.1% drop, to 12,825.34.</p><p>The transportation sector tracker broke below its June 17 closing low of 12,868.60, which at the time marked the lowest close in 16 months.</p><p>The Dow transports’ selloff has sent an important message about the health of the broader stock market, given that the index is viewed by many as a leading economic indicator. There’s a saying on Wall Street that the companies in the Dow transports “take” to buyers what the companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average “make.”</p><p>Basically, if transports aren’t taking, the economy isn’t moving, and the stock market will be falling.</p><p>The Dow transports’ new low follows a big 18.2% bounce off the June low to the mid-August closing high of 15,209.96. But since that high was well below the first recovery high seen in March of 16,718.54, which in turn was below the November 2021 record close of 17,039.38, the index has continued a pattern of lower lows and lower highs, which many Wall Street chart watchers say defines a bear market.</p><p>And perhaps more significantly, the lower low completes one half of a “sell” signal, according to some followers of the century-old Dow Theory of market analysis.</p><p>As Mark Hulbert, MarketWatch contributor and founder of Hulbert Ratings LLC, has written, many agree that there are three key ingredients to a Dow Theory “sell” signal.</p><p>First, the Dow industrials and Dow transports must suffer significant selloffs after reaching new highs — Check. The respective June closing lows marked a 24.4% decline in the Dow transports from its record close in November and an 18.8% drop in the Dow industrials from a January record close.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/08496542bc0255e974b525be5c16073d\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"486\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>FACTSET, MARKETWATCH</span></p><p>Second, significant rallies off the respective lows fail to reach the previous highs — Check. The Dow transports bounced 18.2% off its June low, and the Dow industrials bounced 14.3%, to the mid-August highs, but those highs were well below the respective previous highs.</p><p>And third, both indexes fall below the lows referenced in the “First” ingredient — the indexes are halfway there.</p><p>The Dow transports have checked that box, but the Dow industrials, which slumped 139.40 points, or 0.5%, to 30,822.42 on Friday, were still more than 900 points above the June 17 closing low of 29,888.78.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The $43.85 price decline shaved about 267 points off the Dow Jones Transportation Average, accounting for more than one-third of the Dow transports’ 685.39-point, or 5.1% drop, to 12,825.34.The transportation sector tracker broke below its June 17 closing low of 12,868.60, which at the time marked the lowest close in 16 months.The Dow transports’ selloff has sent an important message about the health of the broader stock market, given that the index is viewed by many as a leading economic indicator. There’s a saying on Wall Street that the companies in the Dow transports “take” to buyers what the companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average “make.”Basically, if transports aren’t taking, the economy isn’t moving, and the stock market will be falling.The Dow transports’ new low follows a big 18.2% bounce off the June low to the mid-August closing high of 15,209.96. But since that high was well below the first recovery high seen in March of 16,718.54, which in turn was below the November 2021 record close of 17,039.38, the index has continued a pattern of lower lows and lower highs, which many Wall Street chart watchers say defines a bear market.And perhaps more significantly, the lower low completes one half of a “sell” signal, according to some followers of the century-old Dow Theory of market analysis.As Mark Hulbert, MarketWatch contributor and founder of Hulbert Ratings LLC, has written, many agree that there are three key ingredients to a Dow Theory “sell” signal.First, the Dow industrials and Dow transports must suffer significant selloffs after reaching new highs — Check. The respective June closing lows marked a 24.4% decline in the Dow transports from its record close in November and an 18.8% drop in the Dow industrials from a January record close.FACTSET, MARKETWATCHSecond, significant rallies off the respective lows fail to reach the previous highs — Check. The Dow transports bounced 18.2% off its June low, and the Dow industrials bounced 14.3%, to the mid-August highs, but those highs were well below the respective previous highs.And third, both indexes fall below the lows referenced in the “First” ingredient — the indexes are halfway there.The Dow transports have checked that box, but the Dow industrials, which slumped 139.40 points, or 0.5%, to 30,822.42 on Friday, were still more than 900 points above the June 17 closing low of 29,888.78.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":510,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9074517942,"gmtCreate":1658371891586,"gmtModify":1676536149520,"author":{"id":"3573978021681248","authorId":"3573978021681248","name":"KST66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9074517942","repostId":"1163305982","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":95,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9961984905,"gmtCreate":1668820432507,"gmtModify":1676538117558,"author":{"id":"3573978021681248","authorId":"3573978021681248","name":"KST66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9961984905","repostId":"1177646844","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":338,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9078623210,"gmtCreate":1657679782430,"gmtModify":1676536045272,"author":{"id":"3573978021681248","authorId":"3573978021681248","name":"KST66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9078623210","repostId":"1160094543","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1160094543","pubTimestamp":1657677205,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1160094543?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-07-13

Soaring revenue and profitsTotal revenue for SIA tripled year on year from S$1.3 billion to S$3.9 billion for 1Q2023.Singapore threw open its borders to vaccinated travellers in April this year, resulting in the carrier enjoying buoyant demand for travel bookings.Two quarters ago, SIA benefitted from the expansion of the vaccinated travel lanes (VTL) scheme, and this momentum carried on as Singapore reopened its borders tentatively in the previous quarter.This sharp jump in revenue is expected to be sustained as SIA heads into the holiday period with forward sales staying healthy up till October 2022.Operating profit came in at S$556 million, reversing from an operating loss of S$274 million in 1Q2022.Net profit stood at S$370 million for the quarter.2.

The European and U.S. markets were down and the Asian markets are predicted to follow that lead.</p><p>The STI finished modestly higher on Tuesday following gains from the financial shares, while the properties and industrials were mixed.</p><p>For the day, the index improved 11.65 points or 0.37 percent to finish at 3,192.12 after trading between 3,174.39 and 3,193.64.

But if it had not been for the monthly options expiration, last week would have been a disaster. The S&amp;P 500 (SP500) was down more than 4% at its lows on Thursday morning but finished the week lower by around 1%. The end-of-week comeback was aided by the slow melt of the VIX index (VIX).</p><p>Options expiration managed to keep the markets afloat and did not allow the S&amp;P 500 to drift too far from the significant open interest levels around the 3,800 and 3,850 levels. As the market drifted lower during the week, the higher strike prices&#39; gravity helped lift the index higher throughout Thursday and Friday.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1087749c4a64eb74faaa94e6ef166198\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"427\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>CBOE Live Vol/ Trade Alert</p><p>That is primarily why the S&amp;P 500 was stuck between 3,845 and 3,860 on Friday after 11 AM.

The big intraday rebounds witnessed on Wednesday and Thursday were helped by falling implied volatility throughout the day.

The CPI report came in much hotter than expected. The market is now betting on a 75 and 100 bps rate hike at the end of July. The odds of a 75 bps rate hike now stand around 70%, while a 100 bps rate hike stands around 30%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6eb066f2ad57e2b88ce053c85c0b6ff7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>CME</p><p>While retail sales were better than expected, rising by 1.0% month-over-month versus estimates of 0.9%, they were still well below the CPI month-over-month gain of 1.3%. That means retail sales were down 0.3% on a month-over-month basis in <i>real</i> terms. Even on a year-over-year basis, retail sales were negative, rising 8.4%, below the 9.1% year-over-year gain in CPI. In <i>real</i> terms, retail sales fell 0.7% year-over-year and were negative for the fourth straight month. While the declines to this point are modest, it is rare for retail sales to be negative year-over-year in <i>real</i> terms. It has only previously happened in recessions.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/23850297cf6fd31a46b4ec6832eff964\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"336\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p>On top of this, the data out of China was just as bad, with second quarter GDP missing consensus estimates by a wide margin, rising by just 0.4%, well short of forecasts for 1.2%. This news was unnoticed by US markets during Friday&#39;s trading session. Still, it didn&#39;t go unnoticed in Asia, with CSI 300 index dropping by around 4% last week and the HK Hang Seng index dropping approximately 6.6%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8d36b1238969edc97e9d15f739fe4e6a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"337\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p>If that weren&#39;t enough, Europe had its problems, with Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi announcing his intentions to resign. The news caused the Italian 2-year yield to explode higher, which sent the euro sharply lower versus the dollar.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d802f80bfd8388f361e196f6128658f5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"245\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p>The euro is trading at its lowest point versus the dollar in nearly 20 years and at parity with the dollar. Couple that with China&#39;s weak economic data and Japan&#39;s reluctance to come off its negative interest rate policy and yield curve control, the dollar has strengthened versus the Japanese yen and the Chinese renminbi too.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b6ccc0f82bdcbc76dbad6692f22a2fb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"337\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p><b>Implied Volatility Saves The Day</b></p><p>The macro backdrop did not support stocks rising and is a big reason markets were down sharply on Wednesday and Thursday morning. But once implied volatility and the VIX index began to melt, stocks got a boost right into Friday&#39;s close.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a1b8e003a50ee69e05d1b5c176386e8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"337\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p><b>Stress Builds</b></p><p>But not all is well beneath the surface. As noted by the spread between the 3-Month USD Libor Rate and the US Effective Fed Funds Rate, a sign of stress may have shown its head in the overnight lending markets. The spread is not high compared to peaks in 2018, 2019, or 2020, but it is at its widest point since Russia invaded Ukraine and needs to be watched closely. The widening spread can signal increased equity market volatility.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/24c444f4b9b9989639b08c1b0642df18\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"338\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p>Given this backdrop, the melt of implied volatility is likely to change this week as the market moves past the VIX options expiration and begins to focus on macro issues along with a European Central Bank and Bank of Japan meeting this week, along with the FOMC meeting on July 27.</p><p><b>FOMC Cycle Should Kick In</b></p><p>The period after the FOMC meeting tends to be bullish. The only period that didn&#39;t see a rally post-FOMC came following the May meeting. Otherwise, we have seen relatively big rallies following the FOMC meeting this year. But the period before the FOMC meeting can be very turbulent, especially 6 to 9 days before the meeting.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/834fbfe4ecdf8c8c2b32456c1af66ddb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"332\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Trading View</p><p><b>Volatility Rising?</b></p><p>The rallies after the FOMC meeting are usually because the VIX is elevated heading into that meeting. After all, the FOMC meeting creates an event risk. Therefore, traders look to put hedges in place by buying puts, pushing implied volatility up and, as a result, causing the VIX to go higher and stock prices down about 6 to 10 days before the FOMC meeting.

But there continue to be many more reasons for it not to rally.Stocks had a solid finish to the week, thanks to options expiration. But if it had not been for the monthly options expiration, last week would have been a disaster. The S&P 500 (SP500) was down more than 4% at its lows on Thursday morning but finished the week lower by around 1%. The end-of-week comeback was aided by the slow melt of the VIX index (VIX).Options expiration managed to keep the markets afloat and did not allow the S&P 500 to drift too far from the significant open interest levels around the 3,800 and 3,850 levels. As the market drifted lower during the week, the higher strike prices' gravity helped lift the index higher throughout Thursday and Friday.CBOE Live Vol/ Trade AlertThat is primarily why the S&P 500 was stuck between 3,845 and 3,860 on Friday after 11 AM. It only managed to move higher in the final 5 minutes of the trading session and closed just above 3,860.Trading ViewMonday starts a new options cycle, meaning the push and pull of options start over, and the market will be free to move much more easily. Open interest levels for the S&P 500 will be nearly cut in half with the removal of the July 15 trade date.CBOE Live Vol/ Trade AlertAdditionally, there was a consistent decline in implied volatility levels in the S&P 500 throughout the week. The big intraday rebounds witnessed on Wednesday and Thursday were helped by falling implied volatility throughout the day. It would suggest the intraday price action was more mechanical and options related than due to the underlying macro backdrop.BloombergMacro Factors Forgotten For NowThe macro backdrop this past week was very negative. The CPI report came in much hotter than expected. The market is now betting on a 75 and 100 bps rate hike at the end of July. The odds of a 75 bps rate hike now stand around 70%, while a 100 bps rate hike stands around 30%.CMEWhile retail sales were better than expected, rising by 1.0% month-over-month versus estimates of 0.9%, they were still well below the CPI month-over-month gain of 1.3%. That means retail sales were down 0.3% on a month-over-month basis in real terms. Even on a year-over-year basis, retail sales were negative, rising 8.4%, below the 9.1% year-over-year gain in CPI. In real terms, retail sales fell 0.7% year-over-year and were negative for the fourth straight month. While the declines to this point are modest, it is rare for retail sales to be negative year-over-year in real terms. It has only previously happened in recessions.BloombergOn top of this, the data out of China was just as bad, with second quarter GDP missing consensus estimates by a wide margin, rising by just 0.4%, well short of forecasts for 1.2%. This news was unnoticed by US markets during Friday's trading session. Still, it didn't go unnoticed in Asia, with CSI 300 index dropping by around 4% last week and the HK Hang Seng index dropping approximately 6.6%.BloombergIf that weren't enough, Europe had its problems, with Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi announcing his intentions to resign. The news caused the Italian 2-year yield to explode higher, which sent the euro sharply lower versus the dollar.BloombergThe euro is trading at its lowest point versus the dollar in nearly 20 years and at parity with the dollar. Couple that with China's weak economic data and Japan's reluctance to come off its negative interest rate policy and yield curve control, the dollar has strengthened versus the Japanese yen and the Chinese renminbi too.BloombergImplied Volatility Saves The DayThe macro backdrop did not support stocks rising and is a big reason markets were down sharply on Wednesday and Thursday morning. But once implied volatility and the VIX index began to melt, stocks got a boost right into Friday's close.BloombergStress BuildsBut not all is well beneath the surface. As noted by the spread between the 3-Month USD Libor Rate and the US Effective Fed Funds Rate, a sign of stress may have shown its head in the overnight lending markets. The spread is not high compared to peaks in 2018, 2019, or 2020, but it is at its widest point since Russia invaded Ukraine and needs to be watched closely. The widening spread can signal increased equity market volatility.BloombergGiven this backdrop, the melt of implied volatility is likely to change this week as the market moves past the VIX options expiration and begins to focus on macro issues along with a European Central Bank and Bank of Japan meeting this week, along with the FOMC meeting on July 27.FOMC Cycle Should Kick InThe period after the FOMC meeting tends to be bullish. The only period that didn't see a rally post-FOMC came following the May meeting. Otherwise, we have seen relatively big rallies following the FOMC meeting this year. But the period before the FOMC meeting can be very turbulent, especially 6 to 9 days before the meeting.Trading ViewVolatility Rising?The rallies after the FOMC meeting are usually because the VIX is elevated heading into that meeting. After all, the FOMC meeting creates an event risk. Therefore, traders look to put hedges in place by buying puts, pushing implied volatility up and, as a result, causing the VIX to go higher and stock prices down about 6 to 10 days before the FOMC meeting. Once the event risk passes, there is no reason to have hedges anymore, causing implied volatility to fall and for the market to rally.The VIX appears to be set up similar to how it was at the June FOMC meeting. With volatility melting lower, there is potential to push significantly higher between now and the FOMC meeting.Trading ViewInterestingly, there has been a turn-up in 10-day realized volatility in the S&P 500. When the spread between 10-day realized volatility and S&P 500 30-day implied volatility widens by about 5 percentage points, it tends to push realized volatility higher, pulling implied volatility higher, which is bearish for stocks.BloombergCan the market continue to rally, sure? But there continue to be many more reasons for it not to rally. Given several geopolitical factors, along with an upcoming central bank meeting from the ECB and BOJ this week and the FOMC next week, the risk for further downside pain is not over yet.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":234,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9981125804,"gmtCreate":1666425942708,"gmtModify":1676537755738,"author":{"id":"3573978021681248","authorId":"3573978021681248","name":"KST66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9981125804","repostId":"2277473668","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2277473668","pubTimestamp":1666394795,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2277473668?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-10-22 07:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"77% of Warren Buffett's $313 Billion Portfolio is Invested in These 6 Stocks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2277473668","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The Oracle of Omaha is a big believer that portfolio concentration drives wealth creation.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Few high-profile money managers have a nose for making money quite like Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. In the 57 years since taking the reins, the Oracle of Omaha, as he&#39;s come to be known, has led his company&#39;s Class A shares (BRK.A) to a jaw-dropping average annual return of 20.1%.</p><p>Buffett&#39;s willingness to stick with his investments for many years (if not decades) and his love of dividend stocks are two reasons he&#39;s been such a successful investor. But a key ingredient to Buffett&#39;s success that&#39;s often overlooked is his portfolio concentration.</p><p>The Oracle of Omaha believes diversification is &#34;protection against ignorance.&#34; In other words, buying a boatload of stocks makes sense only if you don&#39;t know what you&#39;re doing, according to Buffett. Although Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s $313 billion investment portfolio has stakes in around four dozen securities, more than $241 billion of invested assets -- 77% of total portfolio value -- is tied up in just six stocks.</p><h3>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a>: 40.5% of invested assets</h3><p>Warren Buffett&#39;s love for portfolio concentration is readily on display with his company&#39;s position in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a>. The tech stock makes up an astounding 40.5% ($126.6 billion) of invested assets and has been labeled by the Oracle of Omaha as one of Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s &#34;four giants.&#34;</p><p>There is a long list of reasons for Buffett and his investment team to have such strong convictions in Apple. This includes having a well-known brand, an exceptionally loyal customer base, and a product and service lineup driven by innovation. For instance, introducing 5G-capable iPhones has helped Apple maintain approximately half of the U.S. smartphone market share.</p><p>Apple&#39;s evolution has also seen it become a force in the subscription services space. This ongoing transformation to a platform-based operating model should accelerate its organic growth rate, boost its operating margin, and minimize the revenue fluctuations associated with physical product replacement cycles.</p><p>As one final note, Apple&#39;s capital return program is unmatched. It pays out nearly $14.8 billion in dividends annually and has repurchased roughly $520 billion of its own common stock since the beginning of 2013.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e7003706e2028bde743b3cdeda783ff2\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Rising interest rates are a tailwind for banks with outstanding variable-rate loans. Effective Federal Funds Rate data by YCharts.</p><h3>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BAC\">Bank of America</a>: 10.5% of invested assets</h3><p>Though Apple is Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s largest holding by a significant amount, bank stocks will forever be Warren Buffett&#39;s favorite industry. The $32.7 billion invested in money-center giant <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BAC\">Bank of America</a> is no surprise at all.</p><p>The beauty of bank stocks is their cyclical ties. Even though recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, they&#39;re usually short-lived. By comparison, periods of economic expansion almost always last for years. Banks benefit from disproportionately long periods of expansion by growing their loans and deposits. It&#39;s a simple numbers game that favors patient investors like Buffett.</p><p>On a more company-specific level, Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive of the big banks. When the interest rate yield curve shifts, no bank sees its net interest income rise or fall more than BofA. With the Federal Reserve aggressively raising interest rates to tame historically high inflation, Bank of America can expect billions of dollars in added net interest income on its outstanding variable-rate loans.</p><p>BofA has a sizable capital return program as well. During bull markets, it&#39;s not uncommon for the company to return in excess of $20 billion to shareholders annually via dividends and buybacks.</p><h3>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVX\">Chevron</a>: 8.4% of invested assets</h3><p>Integrated oil and gas company <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVX\">Chevron</a> is Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s third-largest holding ($26.2 billion of invested assets) and a relatively newer addition to the portfolio.</p><p>Betting big on energy isn&#39;t something Warren Buffett is known for. However, certain factors do suggest that energy commodity prices could remain elevated for years to come. Russia&#39;s invasions of Ukraine, coupled with global energy majors&#39; significant reduction in capital investment during the COVID-19 pandemic, will make it difficult to quickly boost the global supply of crude oil and natural gas.</p><p>Another selling point for Chevron is its operating structure. Being &#34;integrated&#34; means Chevron controls upstream (drilling and exploration), midstream (transmission pipeline), and downstream (chemical plants and refineries) assets. While drilling brings home the juiciest operating margin, the company&#39;s midstream assets can generate highly predictable cash flow. Meanwhile, downstream assets benefit from lower input costs when crude falls. In short, downstream assets act as a hedge against falling prices.</p><p>You shouldn&#39;t be shocked to learn that Chevron is also quite generous with its capital return program. Chevron has raised its base annual payout for 35 consecutive years, and the company may repurchase up to $15 billion of its shares this year.</p><h3>4. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/KO\">Coca-Cola</a>: 7% of invested assets</h3><p>Beverage behemoth <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/KO\">Coca-Cola</a> is Warren Buffett&#39;s longest-tenured holding (34 years), as well as Berkshire&#39;s fourth-largest position by market value ($22 billion).</p><p>Strong branding plays a key role in Coke&#39;s long-term outperformance. Few companies on the planet can cross generational gaps with ease and connect with consumers. Coca-Cola can do this by utilizing social media and well-known ambassadors to reach younger consumers while leaning on its holiday tie-ins to connect with more mature audiences.</p><p>Coca-Cola&#39;s geographic diversity is another reason for its bubbling success. With the exception of Cuba, North Korea, and Russia (the latter is due to its invasion of Ukraine), Coke has operations in every country worldwide. It holds about a 20% share of the cold beverage market in developed countries, which produce predictable cash flow, and a 10% share of the cold beverage space in faster-growing emerging markets.</p><p>Coca-Cola is a big-time dividend payer, too, with a 60-year streak of increasing its base annual payout. More importantly, Berkshire is netting an amazing 54% yield on Coca-Cola relative to its initial cost basis of about $3.25 per share.</p><h3>5. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AXP\">American Express</a>: 6.6% of invested assets</h3><p>Have I mentioned Warren Buffett likes financial stocks? Second only to Coca-Cola in a continuous holding period is financial services company <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AXP\">American Express</a>. AmEx, as it&#39;s better known, has been a Berkshire Hathaway staple for the past 29 years.</p><p>Similar to Bank of America, AmEx benefits from long periods of economic expansion. Specifically, it&#39;s able to &#34;double dip.&#34; In addition to collecting payment processing fees from merchants, it acts as a lender via credit cards. Lengthy bull markets give AmEx an opportunity to generate interest income and fees.</p><p>Buffett should also be happy with AmEx&#39;s ability to attract affluent clientele. High-earning individuals are less likely to alter their spending habits or fail to meet their repayment obligations during minor domestic or global economic hiccups. These well-to-do customers help AmEx navigate downturns better than most lenders.</p><p>Further, American Express is an income powerhouse -- at least to Berkshire Hathaway. Thanks to a low cost basis of $8.49 per AmEx share, Buffett&#39;s company is netting a 24.5% annual yield on cost!</p><h3>6. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OXY\">Occidental Petroleum</a>: 4.1% of invested assets</h3><p>Lastly, Buffett&#39;s company has almost $13 billion invested in integrated oil and gas stock <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OXY\">Occidental Petroleum</a>. Note this $13 billion doesn&#39;t include the $10 billion in Occidental preferred stock Berkshire Hathaway purchased in 2019.</p><p>Among these six top holdings, Occidental is the newest and, arguably, the position Buffett has built up most aggressively this year. Pardon the pun, but the catalysts fueling Chevron are the same for Occidental Petroleum. As long as the global energy supply chain remains broken or constrained, demand should provide a healthy floor beneath the price of crude oil and natural gas.</p><p>Though it&#39;s an integrated provider like Chevron, even more of Occidental&#39;s sales are skewed toward its drilling and exploration operations. If oil and natural gas prices remain well above average, Occidental Petroleum has a chance to benefit even more than Chevron.</p><p>To keep with the theme, there&#39;s a handsome capital return in store for Berkshire Hathaway.

In the 57 years since taking the reins, the Oracle of Omaha, as he's come to be known, has led his company's Class A shares (BRK.A) to a jaw-dropping average annual return of 20.1%.Buffett's willingness to stick with his investments for many years (if not decades) and his love of dividend stocks are two reasons he's been such a successful investor. But a key ingredient to Buffett's success that's often overlooked is his portfolio concentration.The Oracle of Omaha believes diversification is \"protection against ignorance.\" In other words, buying a boatload of stocks makes sense only if you don't know what you're doing, according to Buffett. Although Berkshire Hathaway's $313 billion investment portfolio has stakes in around four dozen securities, more than $241 billion of invested assets -- 77% of total portfolio value -- is tied up in just six stocks.1. Apple: 40.5% of invested assetsWarren Buffett's love for portfolio concentration is readily on display with his company's position in Apple. The tech stock makes up an astounding 40.5% ($126.6 billion) of invested assets and has been labeled by the Oracle of Omaha as one of Berkshire Hathaway's \"four giants.\"There is a long list of reasons for Buffett and his investment team to have such strong convictions in Apple. This includes having a well-known brand, an exceptionally loyal customer base, and a product and service lineup driven by innovation. For instance, introducing 5G-capable iPhones has helped Apple maintain approximately half of the U.S. smartphone market share.Apple's evolution has also seen it become a force in the subscription services space. This ongoing transformation to a platform-based operating model should accelerate its organic growth rate, boost its operating margin, and minimize the revenue fluctuations associated with physical product replacement cycles.As one final note, Apple's capital return program is unmatched. It pays out nearly $14.8 billion in dividends annually and has repurchased roughly $520 billion of its own common stock since the beginning of 2013.Rising interest rates are a tailwind for banks with outstanding variable-rate loans. Effective Federal Funds Rate data by YCharts.2. Bank of America: 10.5% of invested assetsThough Apple is Berkshire Hathaway's largest holding by a significant amount, bank stocks will forever be Warren Buffett's favorite industry. The $32.7 billion invested in money-center giant Bank of America is no surprise at all.The beauty of bank stocks is their cyclical ties. Even though recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, they're usually short-lived. By comparison, periods of economic expansion almost always last for years. Banks benefit from disproportionately long periods of expansion by growing their loans and deposits. It's a simple numbers game that favors patient investors like Buffett.On a more company-specific level, Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive of the big banks. When the interest rate yield curve shifts, no bank sees its net interest income rise or fall more than BofA. With the Federal Reserve aggressively raising interest rates to tame historically high inflation, Bank of America can expect billions of dollars in added net interest income on its outstanding variable-rate loans.BofA has a sizable capital return program as well. During bull markets, it's not uncommon for the company to return in excess of $20 billion to shareholders annually via dividends and buybacks.3. Chevron: 8.4% of invested assetsIntegrated oil and gas company Chevron is Berkshire Hathaway's third-largest holding ($26.2 billion of invested assets) and a relatively newer addition to the portfolio.Betting big on energy isn't something Warren Buffett is known for. However, certain factors do suggest that energy commodity prices could remain elevated for years to come. Russia's invasions of Ukraine, coupled with global energy majors' significant reduction in capital investment during the COVID-19 pandemic, will make it difficult to quickly boost the global supply of crude oil and natural gas.Another selling point for Chevron is its operating structure. Being \"integrated\" means Chevron controls upstream (drilling and exploration), midstream (transmission pipeline), and downstream (chemical plants and refineries) assets. While drilling brings home the juiciest operating margin, the company's midstream assets can generate highly predictable cash flow. Meanwhile, downstream assets benefit from lower input costs when crude falls. In short, downstream assets act as a hedge against falling prices.You shouldn't be shocked to learn that Chevron is also quite generous with its capital return program. Chevron has raised its base annual payout for 35 consecutive years, and the company may repurchase up to $15 billion of its shares this year.4. Coca-Cola: 7% of invested assetsBeverage behemoth Coca-Cola is Warren Buffett's longest-tenured holding (34 years), as well as Berkshire's fourth-largest position by market value ($22 billion).Strong branding plays a key role in Coke's long-term outperformance. Few companies on the planet can cross generational gaps with ease and connect with consumers. Coca-Cola can do this by utilizing social media and well-known ambassadors to reach younger consumers while leaning on its holiday tie-ins to connect with more mature audiences.Coca-Cola's geographic diversity is another reason for its bubbling success. With the exception of Cuba, North Korea, and Russia (the latter is due to its invasion of Ukraine), Coke has operations in every country worldwide. It holds about a 20% share of the cold beverage market in developed countries, which produce predictable cash flow, and a 10% share of the cold beverage space in faster-growing emerging markets.Coca-Cola is a big-time dividend payer, too, with a 60-year streak of increasing its base annual payout. More importantly, Berkshire is netting an amazing 54% yield on Coca-Cola relative to its initial cost basis of about $3.25 per share.5. American Express: 6.6% of invested assetsHave I mentioned Warren Buffett likes financial stocks? Second only to Coca-Cola in a continuous holding period is financial services company American Express. AmEx, as it's better known, has been a Berkshire Hathaway staple for the past 29 years.Similar to Bank of America, AmEx benefits from long periods of economic expansion. Specifically, it's able to \"double dip.\" In addition to collecting payment processing fees from merchants, it acts as a lender via credit cards. Lengthy bull markets give AmEx an opportunity to generate interest income and fees.Buffett should also be happy with AmEx's ability to attract affluent clientele. High-earning individuals are less likely to alter their spending habits or fail to meet their repayment obligations during minor domestic or global economic hiccups. These well-to-do customers help AmEx navigate downturns better than most lenders.Further, American Express is an income powerhouse -- at least to Berkshire Hathaway. Thanks to a low cost basis of $8.49 per AmEx share, Buffett's company is netting a 24.5% annual yield on cost!6. Occidental Petroleum: 4.1% of invested assetsLastly, Buffett's company has almost $13 billion invested in integrated oil and gas stock Occidental Petroleum. Note this $13 billion doesn't include the $10 billion in Occidental preferred stock Berkshire Hathaway purchased in 2019.Among these six top holdings, Occidental is the newest and, arguably, the position Buffett has built up most aggressively this year. Pardon the pun, but the catalysts fueling Chevron are the same for Occidental Petroleum. As long as the global energy supply chain remains broken or constrained, demand should provide a healthy floor beneath the price of crude oil and natural gas.Though it's an integrated provider like Chevron, even more of Occidental's sales are skewed toward its drilling and exploration operations. If oil and natural gas prices remain well above average, Occidental Petroleum has a chance to benefit even more than Chevron.To keep with the theme, there's a handsome capital return in store for Berkshire Hathaway. Though Occidental's 0.8% dividend yield is nothing to write home about, Berkshire is generating an 8% annual yield on its $10 billion preferred stock position. Altogether, Buffett's company should collect $901 million in dividend income from Occidental Petroleum over the next 12 months.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":96,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9933774373,"gmtCreate":1662352072592,"gmtModify":1676537043556,"author":{"id":"3573978021681248","authorId":"3573978021681248","name":"KST66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9933774373","repostId":"1130372891","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130372891","pubTimestamp":1662346022,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1130372891?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-05

their business may be floundering or they may have temporarily hit a rough patch.</p><p>It’s important to tell these two scenarios apart as the former will cause more heartache but the latter represents a great opportunity to accumulate.</p><p>Here are four Singapore stocks that recently hit their 52-week lows.</p><p>We provide the facts but you need to decide if these stocks may be suitable for your portfolio.</p><p><b>Keppel Pacific Oak US REIT (SGX: CMOU)</b></p><p>Keppel Pacific Oak US REIT, or KORE, invests in commercial assets in key growth markets in the US.</p><p>Its portfolio comprises 15 freehold office buildings and business campuses across nine US states with a total asset value of US$1.45 billion as of 30 June 2022.</p><p>KORE’s share price has tumbled around 18% year to date and has hit a 52-week low of US$0.66.</p><p>The office REIT reported a steady set of earnings for its fiscal 2022’s first half (1H2022).</p><p>Gross revenue rose 8.4% year on year to US$74.1 million while net property income (NPI) increased by 5.9% year on year to US$43 million.</p><p>Distributio nper unit (DPU), however, fell by 4.4% year on year to US$0.0302, with part of the reason being that the manager’s base fee for the second quarter is being paid entirely in cash rather than in units of KORE.</p><p>The REIT maintains a high portfolio committed occupancy of 92%.</p><p>Its aggregate leverage stands at 37.2% with an all-in average cost of debt of 2.88%. 77.1% of the KORE’s total borrowings are on fixed rates.</p><p>However, if the borrowings are refinanced, the average cost of debt will rise to 3.15%.</p><p><b>Manulife US REIT (SGX: BTOU)</b></p><p>Manulife US REIT, or MUST, owns a portfolio of 12 freehold office properties in the US valued at around US$2.2 billion as of 31 December 2021.</p><p>The commercial REIT has seen its unit price tumble 20.9% year to date to a 52-week low of US$0.53.</p><p>1H2022 saw gross revenue rise 10.6% year on year to US$100.4 million while NPI inched up 2.8% year on year to US$57.6 million.</p><p>DPU dipped by 3.3% year on year to US$0.0261.</p><p>MUST reported 90% occupancy for its portfolio but physical occupancy only came in at around 28%.</p><p>The commercial REIT’s gearing is on the high side at 42.4% as of 30 June 2022 but more than 85% of its loans are on fixed rates.</p><p>Around 96% of MUST’s portfolio has rental escalations incorporated into its tenancy agreements that should see a 2.2% per annum uplift in rental income.</p><p><b>Yangzijiang Financial Holding Ltd (SGX: YF8)</b></p><p>Yangzijiang Financial, or YZJF, is an investment management company that invests in public and private companies, debt investments, and funds.</p><p>The group also provides wealth management services to clients and generates fee-based income through fund management activities.</p><p>Since it was spun off from parent <b>Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Holdings Ltd</b> (SGX: BS6) back in April, its share price has tumbled 43% to a 52-week low of S$0.35.</p><p>YZJF reported a 27.3% year on year fall in total income to S$173.8 million due to a fall in the fair values of financial assets that it holds.</p><p>Net profit tumbled by 30.6% year on year to S$136.4 million.</p><p>As of 30 June, close to 90% of YZJF’s investments are in China, with the remainder parked in Singapore.</p><p>The group’s medium-term target is to reduce its debt investment in China from the current 70% to just 30% while increasing its investment proportion in Singapore to around half of the portfolio.</p><p><b>Top Glove Corporation Berhad (SGX: BVA)</b></p><p>Top Glove is the world’s largest manufacturer of gloves with 49 factories capable of producing 100 billion pieces per annum as of 9 June 2022.</p><p>The group exports to more than 195 countries worldwide and employs 22,000 staff.</p><p>Top Glove’s share price has weakened by nearly 68% this year, falling from S$0.78 to a 52-week low of S$0.25.</p><p>For the first nine months of fiscal 2022 (9M2022) ended 31 May, Top Glove saw its revenue plummet 68.5% year on year to RM 4.5 billion as glove demand normalised with higher global vaccination rates.</p><p>Net profit plunged by 96% year on year to RM 288.6 million.</p><p>Average selling prices continued to decline but at a slower pace, and the poor results were due to the inability of the group to fully pass on higher costs.</p><p>In light of lower demand, Top Glove is deferred and reducing capital expenditure in the near term until the glove oversupply situation eases.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1602567310727","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta

results.</p><p>Thetrio of local bankshas reported a set of results that attest to their resilience even as an economic slowdown looms, while conglomerate <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BN4.SI\">Keppel Corporation Limited</a> and contract manufacturer <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V03.SI\">Venture Corporation Limited</a> have both announced higher profits.</p><p>Inflationhas pushed up the prices of a wide variety of goods and services, including electricity and gas prices.</p><p>But this news is sweet music to the ears of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/U96.SI\">Sembcorp Industries Limited</a>, or SCI.</p><p>The increase in electricity prices has resulted in the utility company reporting significantly higher profits for 1H2022.</p><p>Here are five highlights from SCI’s latest earnings.</p><p><b>1. A strong set of financial numbers</b></p><p>SCI reported a 45% year on year jump in revenue to S$4.76 billion, with its Conventional Energy segment bringing in the lion’s share (87.4%) of the total.</p><p>Gross profit grew a smaller 28% year on year to S$677 million.</p><p>Net profit soared more than 10-fold to US$490 million as a result of higher profits from changes in the fair value of financial instruments, coupled with the absence of an impairment loss of S$206 million..</p><p>If the impairment loss is excluded, SCI’s net profit would have surged by 94% year on year.</p><p>The group had around S$1.66 billion of cash and financial assets as of 30 June 2022 along with S$8.7 billion of debt.</p><p>Free cash flow generated for 1H2022 was nearly 20% higher year on year at S$394 million.</p><p><b>2. Higher contributions from Energy segments</b></p><p>The group saw significantly better contributions from both its energy segments for 1H2022.</p><p>SCI’s Renewables division saw revenue climb 52.1% year on year from S$146 million to S$222 million with net profit for the segment more than tripling year on year to S$76 million.</p><p>The better result was due to new acquisitions in China, higher installed wind energy capacity in India, and higher selling prices for solar energy in Singapore.</p><p>As for Conventional Energy, revenue grew 50.8% year on year to S$4.16 billion while net profit (before exceptional items) more than doubled over the same period from S$187 million to S$397 million.</p><p>The division benefitted from higher electricity prices in India and Singapore along with gains from Singapore gas hedges entered into last year.</p><p><b>3. Good progress in growing renewables capacity</b></p><p>SCI’s gross installed renewables capacity has grown steadily over the years.</p><p>It stood at 2.6 gigawatts (GW) at end-2020 and has now more than doubled to 5.4 GW at end-1H2022.</p><p>1H2022 saw 0.9 GW being added, with a further 1.7 GW under development.</p><p>The utility group had completed acquisitions in China, secured renewable projects in India, and launched a solar farm in Singapore, among other successful business development efforts.</p><p>Together with projects under development, SCI’s gross renewables capacity will hit 7.1 GW.</p><p>The growth is in line with the group’s plan to grow its installed capacity to 10 GW by 2025 as articulated during itsInvestor Daylast year.</p><p><b>4.

A strong set of financial numbersSCI reported a 45% year on year jump in revenue to S$4.76 billion, with its Conventional Energy segment bringing in the lion’s share (87.4%) of the total.Gross profit grew a smaller 28% year on year to S$677 million.Net profit soared more than 10-fold to US$490 million as a result of higher profits from changes in the fair value of financial instruments, coupled with the absence of an impairment loss of S$206 million..If the impairment loss is excluded, SCI’s net profit would have surged by 94% year on year.The group had around S$1.66 billion of cash and financial assets as of 30 June 2022 along with S$8.7 billion of debt.Free cash flow generated for 1H2022 was nearly 20% higher year on year at S$394 million.2. Higher contributions from Energy segmentsThe group saw significantly better contributions from both its energy segments for 1H2022.SCI’s Renewables division saw revenue climb 52.1% year on year from S$146 million to S$222 million with net profit for the segment more than tripling year on year to S$76 million.The better result was due to new acquisitions in China, higher installed wind energy capacity in India, and higher selling prices for solar energy in Singapore.As for Conventional Energy, revenue grew 50.8% year on year to S$4.16 billion while net profit (before exceptional items) more than doubled over the same period from S$187 million to S$397 million.The division benefitted from higher electricity prices in India and Singapore along with gains from Singapore gas hedges entered into last year.3. Good progress in growing renewables capacitySCI’s gross installed renewables capacity has grown steadily over the years.It stood at 2.6 gigawatts (GW) at end-2020 and has now more than doubled to 5.4 GW at end-1H2022.1H2022 saw 0.9 GW being added, with a further 1.7 GW under development.The utility group had completed acquisitions in China, secured renewable projects in India, and launched a solar farm in Singapore, among other successful business development efforts.Together with projects under development, SCI’s gross renewables capacity will hit 7.1 GW.The growth is in line with the group’s plan to grow its installed capacity to 10 GW by 2025 as articulated during itsInvestor Daylast year.4. Doubling its interim dividendIn line with its strong performance, SCI has doubled its interim dividend from S$0.02 last year to S$0.04.When added to the final dividend of S$0.03 for FY2021, the group’s trailing 12-month dividend stands at S$0.07, giving its share a trailing dividend yield of 2.3%.5. A mixed outlookFor 2H2022, earnings from SCI’s Conventional Energy division are expected to hold up assuming market conditions remain favourable.For its Renewables division, contributions will flow in from the China renewables portfolio that was acquired in 1H2022.However, SCI did caution that higher corporate expenses are also on the cards.Rising interest rateswill raise borrowing costs for the group even as it undertakes new acquisitions by tapping on debt.Finally, volatility in the commodity markets, along with disrupted supply chains due to theRussia-Ukraine war, are also additional risks that investors need to be mindful of.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":239,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
