$XIAOMI-W(01810)$ Summary Xiaomi's smartphone business segment might struggle to perform in 2022 taking into account stiff competition in China and weak consumer demand. The company's R&D expenses could rise sharply this year, with the increase in staff strength for its new electric vehicle business venture. I continue to assign a Hold investment rating to Xiaomi; the company's 2022 outlook isn't great, but its current valuations are reasonably fair Elevator Pitch My Hold investment rating for Xiaomi Corporation (OTCPK:XIACF) [1810:HK] stays unchanged as permy earlier updatefor the company. In my prior article for Xiaomi, I touched on its loss of market share to Honor in the China smartphone market and the launch of new flagship smartpho

These passive income powerhouses will bring in between $101 million and $904 million annually for Berkshire Hathaway.

$SEMBCORP MARINE LTD(S51.SI)$ The leading energy and urban solutions provider saw its shares hit a three-year high recently at S$2.85, exceeding the S$2.74 it was trading at on 12 April 2019. To be sure, the share price is still around half of the level the group traded at back in September 2012. For context, a decade ago, oil prices were still riding high above US$100 per barrel (see chart below) and its then-subsidiary,Sembcorp Marine Limited(SGX: S51), or SMM, was performing well. The pivot towards renewables SCI is focused on pivoting its order book towards renewable energy as part of its commitment to a sustainable future.

By Gillian TettWhen the American entrepreneur Alex Karp and the PayPal billionaire Peter Thiel co-founded a data analytics company 18 years ago, they decided to call it Palantir.At the time, the name — a reference to the palantíri, the seven “seeing stones” used in The Lord of the Rings to monitor the world from great distances — was considered whimsical by some, downright cute by others. Today, it has turned into rather a double-edged sword. Just as the stones in Tolkien’s novels were used for both good and evil, so the modern Palantir inspires admiration but also loathing.Palantir is currently bidding for a $360mn contract to manage more NHS data. It seems likely to win given that the Covid platform worked well. Indeed, Palantir has already poached senior NHS officials. But part of

These three stocks check all the right boxes for patient investors. Patience can pay off handsomely with these high-growth, innovative companies. Over the past three and a half months, Wall Street and investors have been given a not-so-subtle reminder that stocks can go down just as easily as they can rise. Since the year began, both the broad-basedS&P 500and 125-year-oldDow Jones Industrial Averageentered official correction territory with declines of at least 10%. The tech-heavyNasd

Adobe's stock has tumbled from a high of about $688 per share in November 2021 to roughly $286 per share today. As I said, that's a staggering 58% decline in less than a year.Now, it's no secret that markets fluctuate. But for a stock to fall that far in a relatively short period... You might think something is seriously wrong with the company.That doesn't seem to be the case with Adobe, though. The recurring revenue from its Creative Cloud is a great quality. It's a telltale sign of a fundamentally strong business.And earlier this month, Adobe announced plans to buy design platform Figma...To me, that seems like a good idea. Adobe is taking advantage of the tough environment to expand its offerings. It's a $20 billion buyout – half in cash and half in stock.For Adobe, that isn't much mone

ATTENTION HERE COMES $16.00Nio and CATL's new deal hints at new brand launchJan 17 2023 Nio and CATL are long-standing partners, as all of Nio EV's swappable /batteries are supplied by CATL.

The two companies will share expertise in manufacturing and ultimately help Nio speed up its own battery development efforts. Things we are certain are already happening. However, the partnership will also involve batteries and even technical cooperation on new projects and markets. So, it appears Nio is planning on following BYD in diversifying its portfolio with new brands in the near.$NIO Inc.(NIO)$
