Shares of the ride-hailing gia

2022-12-17

Shares of the ride-hailing giant were down 55.7% year to date to close at US$3.20. With the interest rate still climbing, I think it will drop further even though the revenue improves. What do you think?

ReserveThe US Federal Reser","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Welcome to this week’s edition of top stock market highlights.</p><h3>US Federal Reserve</h3><p>The US Federal Reserve has thus far been relentless in its quest to bring inflation down to its targeted 2% level.</p><p>On Wednesday, the central bank raised its benchmark rate once again, this time by 0.5 percentage points (50 basis points or bps).</p><p>As a result, the benchmark rate rose to between 4.25% and 4.5%, its highest level since 2007.</p><p>The latest hike is a step down from its previous four consecutive 75 bps increases.</p><p>Meanwhile, officials also indicated that interest rates are expected to stay elevated next year, with possibly no reductions until 2024 rolls by.</p><p>The “terminal rate”, defined as the maximum interest rate where the central bank will stop raising rates, was pegged at 5.1% based on a summary of individual member expectations.</p><p>This water mark indicates that officials still have some way to go by way of rate hikes that should continue into 2023.</p><p>In the longer term, analysts believe that the rate will go down to 4.1% in 2024 before ending 2025 at 3.1%.</p><p>Should all go way in the inflation fight, long-term rates should settle at around the 2.5% level.</p><p>As a homeowner in Singapore, the rise in interest rates will flow through to higher mortgage rates.</p><p>Hence, homeowners may wish to lock in their mortgage rates for a fixed period rather than select a floating rate that may steadily rise in tandem with the US benchmark rate.</p><h3>Singapore’s GDP and inflation</h3><p>Professional forecasters have weighed in on Singapore’s gross domestic product (GDP) for 2022.</p><p>The GDP for this year is expected to come in at 3.6% year on year, slightly higher than the previous estimate of 3.5%.</p><p>For 2023, GDP is projected to increase by 1.8%, down from the previous estimate of 2.8% in a survey conducted in September.</p><p>These forecasts seem to imply that Singapore’s economy will not tip into a recession next year, contrary to what Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had warned in May this year.</p><p>Inflation, however, should remain elevated.</p><p>Meanwhile, the median forecast for all-in inflation and core inflation for 2022 stands at 6.1% and 4.1%, respectively.</p><p>For 2023, all-in inflation is projected to be at 5.2% while core inflation should remain fairly high at 4%.</p><p>These forecasts incorporate the effects of the impending 1% rise in the GST rate which will take place on 1 January 2023.</p><p>To counteract the effects of inflation, you can consider investing in a variety of REITs and blue-chip stocks that not only pay out steady dividends but also offer long-term growth.</p><h3>Grab Holdings (NASDAQ: GRAB)</h3><p>Grab, like many growth stocks, has been under pressure as interest rate soar and investors’ risk appetite wane.</p><p>The largest ride-hailing and food delivery in South-East Asia has announced a series of cost-cutting measures aimed at conserving cash.</p><p>The measures include freezing hiring, having no salary increments for senior managers and reducing the budgets for travel and other expenses.</p><p>These initiatives were released in a memo sent by CEO Anthony Tan, who prepared his staff for a leaner and fitter organisation as it pivots towards “sustainable and profitable growth”.</p><p>Revenue for the company’s fiscal 2022’s third quarter surged by 143% year on year to US$382 million, with a doubling of ride-hailing revenue and a 250% year on year jump in delivery revenue.</p><p>Gross merchandise value climbed 26% year on year for the quarter.</p><p>Grab narrowed its net loss to US$327 million, a significant improvement from the net loss of US$970 million in the same period last year.</p><p>Revenue guidance for the full year was lifted to a range of between US$1.32 billion to US$1.35 billion, up from the previous range of between US$1.25 billion to US$1.3 billion.</p><p>Shares of the ride-hailing giant were down 55.7% year to date to close at US$3.20.</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
