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.

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

and booms are part and parcel of the economic cycle.In recent months, there has been a growing chorus of opinions stating that an economic downturn is on its way.Even Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has chimed in, cautioning that a recession may hit Singapore’s shores either next year or in 2024.It’s natural to feel worried about whether your investment portfolio can hold up should a severe recession befall us.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.By fortifying your investment portfolio, it can better withstand the headwinds that accompany a downturn.By positioning your portfolio wisely, you can also stand it in good stead to ride the economic upswing that 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

cheap.</p><p>By doing so, we increase the chances of obtaining a favourable outcome in the long run.</p><p>That said, it pays to be wary of value traps.</p><p>Some companies are hitting a low because 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

being paid entirely in cash rather than in units of KORE.The REIT maintains a high portfolio committed occupancy of 92%.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.However, if the borrowings are refinanced, the average cost of debt will rise to 3.15%.Manulife US REIT (SGX: BTOU)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.The commercial REIT has seen its unit price tumble 20.9% year to date to a 52-week low of US$0.53.1H2022 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.DPU dipped by 3.3% year on year to US$0.0261.MUST reported 90% occupancy for its portfolio but physical occupancy only came in at around 28%.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.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.Yangzijiang Financial Holding Ltd (SGX: YF8)Yangzijiang Financial, or YZJF, is an investment management company that invests in public and private companies, debt investments, and funds.The group also provides wealth management services to clients and generates fee-based income through fund management activities.Since it was spun off from parent Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Holdings Ltd (SGX: BS6) back in April, its share price has tumbled 43% to a 52-week low of S$0.35.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.Net profit tumbled by 30.6% year on year to S$136.4 million.As of 30 June, close to 90% of YZJF’s investments are in China, with the remainder parked in Singapore.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.Top Glove Corporation Berhad (SGX: BVA)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.The group exports to more than 195 countries worldwide and employs 22,000 staff.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.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.Net profit plunged by 96% year on year to RM 288.6 million.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.In light of lower demand, Top Glove is deferred and reducing capital expenditure in the near term until the glove oversupply situation eases.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":770,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9993920102,"gmtCreate":1660614879608,"gmtModify":1676536366099,"author":{"id":"3573978021681248","authorId":"3573978021681248","name":"KST66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573978021681248","authorIdStr":"3573978021681248"},"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/9993920102","repostId":"1170902712","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1170902712","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1660614084,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1170902712?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-16

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":323,"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":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573978021681248","authorIdStr":"3573978021681248"},"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,"repost":{"id":"1173234785","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1659409978,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1173234785?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-02 11:12","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"SIA Reports its Second-Highest Operating Profit in History: 5 Things You Need to Know","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1173234785","media":"The Smart Investor","summary":"The airline is seeing a sharp surge in demand as borders reopen around the world.Blue skies are here","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The airline is seeing a sharp surge in demand as borders reopen around the world.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c602cd199bad1945bb2ecc4a8758f645\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"799\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Blue skies are here for <b>Singapore Airlines Limited</b> (SGX: C6L), or SIA.</p><p>After a turbulent two years, the airline is reporting strong numbers as it witnesses a surge in demand for air travel.</p><p>SIA and its budget carrier Scoot were among the first carriers to launch services when restrictions eased in September last year.</p><p>This move allowed the group to capture pent-up demand for travel, thus accelerating its recovery.</p><p>For its fiscal 2022/2023 first quarter (1Q2023) ended on 30 June 2022, SIA reported its second-highest operating profit on record.</p><p>Here are five other things you need to know about the airline’s latest results.</p><p><b>1. Soaring revenue and profits</b></p><p>Total revenue for SIA tripled year on year from S$1.3 billion to S$3.9 billion for 1Q2023.</p><p>Singapore threw open its borders to vaccinated travellers in April this year, resulting in the carrier enjoying buoyant demand for travel bookings.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Operating profit came in at S$556 million, reversing from an operating loss of S$274 million in 1Q2022.</p><p>Net profit stood at S$370 million for the quarter.</p><p><b>2. Rising capacity and load factor</b></p><p>The April to June period this year saw a significant jump in passenger numbers for SIA.</p><p>As borders reopened in April, passenger numbers shot up above the one million mark that month and have been rising ever since.</p><p>For 1Q2023, total passengers carried came up to 5.1 million, more than 14-fold above the 362,000 chalked up in the same period last year.</p><p>Passenger load factor soared to 79%, the highest since the onset of the pandemic, up 34.1 percentage points.</p><p>Passenger and cargo capacities jumped to 60.7% and 77% for 1Q2023, up from 26.5% and 56.8% in 1Q2022, respectively.</p><p><b>3. Keeping its fleet young</b></p><p>During 1Q2023, SIA took delivery of two Airbus A350-900s, of which one joined its operating fleet.</p><p>In addition, three Boeing 737-8s also joined SIA’s fleet this quarter, with another to be added once it completes its cabin retrofit.</p><p>As of 30 June 2022, SIA’s operating fleet consisted of 127 passenger aircraft and seven freighters, with Scoot operating 55 passenger aircraft.</p><p>The group’s fleet is just six years and three months old and is one of the youngest and most fuel-efficient fleets in the airline industry, with the average fleet age at 15 years and six months.</p><p><b>4. Increasing its network points</b></p><p>SIA continued to increase the number of destinations it flies to in response to healthy demand.</p><p>In 1Q2023, it reinstated flights to cities such as Cebu, Medan, and Nanjing while Scoot launched new services to Jeju in South Korea.</p><p>As of 30 June, the group’s passenger network covered 98 destinations in 36 countries, getting closer to its pre-pandemic network of 137 destinations in 37 countries.</p><p>SIA plans to increase services in anticipation of the Northern Winter operating season from 30 October 2022 to 25 March 2023, and will add more flights to Los Angeles, Paris and Japan as well as restore its Indian network to pre-pandemic levels.</p><p>Group capacity is expected to reach 76% by 3Q2023.</p><p><b>5. Reinforcing its brand status</b></p><p>Apart from boosting its fleet and increasing its network points, SIA has also been busy with other initiatives to reinforce its premium brand status.</p><p>The group has increased the number of self-service options and is working closely with ecosystem partners to improve the airport experience for customers.</p><p>SIA also unveiled its revamped flagship SilverKris Lounge and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Changi Airport for S$50 million.</p><p><b>Get Smart: A firm recovery expected</b></p><p>With healthy sets of financial and operating numbers, investors can expect more of the same from SIA as the recovery gathers steam.</p><p>Another piece of good news was Changi Airport reporting that the number of passengers exceeded half of the pre-pandemic figure for the first time, and was ahead of the year-end target set.</p><p>The second half of 2022 is expected to see even more people travelling despite the presence of more Omicron variants.</p><p>Changi Airport will reopen its Terminal 4 on 13 September, with 16 airlines to be relocated there.</p><p>This reopening will coincide with another quarter of Terminal 2’s opening in October, allowing the airport to handle its pre-COVID capacity of 70 million passengers per year.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1602567310727","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

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. Rising capacity and load factorThe April to June period this year saw a significant jump in passenger numbers for SIA.As borders reopened in April, passenger numbers shot up above the one million mark that month and have been rising ever since.For 1Q2023, total passengers carried came up to 5.1 million, more than 14-fold above the 362,000 chalked up in the same period last year.Passenger load factor soared to 79%, the highest since the onset of the pandemic, up 34.1 percentage points.Passenger and cargo capacities jumped to 60.7% and 77% for 1Q2023, up from 26.5% and 56.8% in 1Q2022, respectively.3. Keeping its fleet youngDuring 1Q2023, SIA took delivery of two Airbus A350-900s, of which one joined its operating fleet.In addition, three Boeing 737-8s also joined SIA’s fleet this quarter, with another to be added once it completes its cabin retrofit.As of 30 June 2022, SIA’s operating fleet consisted of 127 passenger aircraft and seven freighters, with Scoot operating 55 passenger aircraft.The group’s fleet is just six years and three months old and is one of the youngest and most fuel-efficient fleets in the airline industry, with the average fleet age at 15 years and six months.4. Increasing its network pointsSIA continued to increase the number of destinations it flies to in response to healthy demand.In 1Q2023, it reinstated flights to cities such as Cebu, Medan, and Nanjing while Scoot launched new services to Jeju in South Korea.As of 30 June, the group’s passenger network covered 98 destinations in 36 countries, getting closer to its pre-pandemic network of 137 destinations in 37 countries.SIA plans to increase services in anticipation of the Northern Winter operating season from 30 October 2022 to 25 March 2023, and will add more flights to Los Angeles, Paris and Japan as well as restore its Indian network to pre-pandemic levels.Group capacity is expected to reach 76% by 3Q2023.5. Reinforcing its brand statusApart from boosting its fleet and increasing its network points, SIA has also been busy with other initiatives to reinforce its premium brand status.The group has increased the number of self-service options and is working closely with ecosystem partners to improve the airport experience for customers.SIA also unveiled its revamped flagship SilverKris Lounge and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Changi Airport for S$50 million.Get Smart: A firm recovery expectedWith healthy sets of financial and operating numbers, investors can expect more of the same from SIA as the recovery gathers steam.Another piece of good news was Changi Airport reporting that the number of passengers exceeded half of the pre-pandemic figure for the first time, and was ahead of the year-end target set.The second half of 2022 is expected to see even more people travelling despite the presence of more Omicron variants.Changi Airport will reopen its Terminal 4 on 13 September, with 16 airlines to be relocated there.This reopening will coincide with another quarter of Terminal 2’s opening in October, allowing the airport to handle its pre-COVID capacity of 70 million passengers per year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":435,"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":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573978021681248","authorIdStr":"3573978021681248"},"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,"repost":{"id":"1157699686","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1658880350,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1157699686?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-27 08:05","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Rebound Predicted For Singapore Stock Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1157699686","media":"RTTNews","summary":"The Singapore stock market has alternated between positive and negative finishes through the last si","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The Singapore stock market has alternated between positive and negative finishes through the last six trading days since the end of the two-day winning streak in which it had collected more than 30 points or 1 percent.

that pays outdividendsthrough good times and bad.</p><p>Companies that pay an increasing dividend each year allow you to enjoy a larger flow of passive income over time.</p><p>Blue-chipcompanies,REITsand even smaller businesses have built up a track record of increasing their dividends every year.</p><p>Their reliability andresiliencemake them perfect candidates for an investment portfolio that can withstand a recession.</p><p>Although my investment portfolio contains these four dividend-paying stocks, I wished I had owned them sooner.</p><h2><b>Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX: S68)</b></h2><p>Singapore Exchange Limited, or SGX, is Singapore’s sole stock exchange operator.</p><p>The bourse operator offers a comprehensive range of securities for investors and fund managers to buy and sell.</p><p>I scooped up shares of SGX back in 2018 when it was paying out an annual dividend of S$0.30 per share.</p><p>Fast forward to today, and SGX has increased its dividend to S$0.32 per share, paying out S$0.08 every quarter.</p><p>Shares now offer a trailing dividend yield of 3.3%.</p><p>The exchange has been busy this year with the listing of threespecial purpose acquisition companies(SPACs), a first for Singapore.</p><p>SGX is also partnering with <b>OCBC Bank</b>(SGX: O39) to launch its Lion-OCBC Securities Singapore Low Carbon ETF, an exchange-traded fund with S$60 million of assets under management at launch.</p><p>In addition, SGX has also welcomed new listings from spin-offs such as <b>Yangzijiang Financial Holding Ltd</b>(SGX: YF8), as well as secondary listings from <b>Nio Inc</b>(SGX: NIO) and <b>Emperador Inc</b>(SGX: EMI), an electric car and liquor company, respectively.</p><h2><b>DBS Group (SGX: D05)</b></h2><p>DBS needs no introduction, being Singapore’s largest bank.</p><p>I first accumulated shares of the lender in early 2020, when the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)called onall three local banks to limit their dividend payments.</p><p>As a result, DBS had to slash its quarterly dividend from S$0.33 to S$0.18 but offered scrip as an alternative to its cash dividend.</p><p>I was not worried about its financial viability or its ability to continue paying out dividends because the lender has been through multiple crises in the past.</p><p>True to form, when MASlifted these restrictionsin July last year, DBS restored its dividend and subsequently, increased it to S$0.36 per quarter.</p><p>At an annualised dividend of S$1.44, DBS’ shares offer a prospective dividend yield of 4.8%.</p><h2><b>Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U)</b></h2><p>Mapletree Industrial Trust, or MIT, is an industrial REIT that owns 143 properties worth S$8.8 billion as of 31 March 2022.</p><p>I started scooping up units of this REIT only in October last year.</p><p>As a result, I missed out on consecutive years of increasing distributions since MIT was listed back in 2010.</p><p>The REIT has a great combination of a solid track record of delivering higher distribution per unit (DPU) and also a strong sponsor in Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd.</p><p>Overall portfolio occupancy remained high at 93.9% as of 31 March 2022, and MIT had a gearing ratio of 38.4% with a low average cost of debt of 2.5%.</p><p>The REIT is currently redeveloping a cluster of buildings at Kallang Way for S$300 million which is expected to be completed in the first half of next year.</p><h2><b>Micro-Mechanics (Holdings) Ltd (SGX: 5DD)</b></h2><p>Micro-Mechanics (Holdings) Ltd, or MMH, designs, manufactures, and markets high-precision tools and parts used in the semiconductor industry.</p><p>The group also engages in the contract manufacturing of parts and tools used in the wafer fabrication industry.</p><p>MMH is a stock I wished I’d owned much earlier on, as the company had raised its annual dividend from just S$0.03 in fiscal 2014 (FY2014) to S$0.14 in FY2021, a more than four-fold increase.</p><p>The group reported a respectable set of earnings for the first nine months of FY2022 (9M2022).</p><p>Revenue rose 10.8% year on year to S$60.5 million while operating profit increased by 10% year on year to S$18.7 million.</p><p>Net profit inched up 5% year on year to S$13.9 million.</p><p>The outlook for the semiconductor industry appears bright.</p><p>The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) projects that the global semiconductor market will grow by 8.8% year on year in 2022 to US$601 billion.</p><p>In a recession…should you buy blue chip companies? Or will REITs be a better investment vehicle? These are questions every investor might ask today. And these are what we’ll be answering in our upcoming webinar “How to make money during a recession”. Come prepared as you migh walk away with insights that could make you even more money than during a bull market.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1602567310727","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE

loves to own a stock that pays outdividendsthrough good times and bad.Companies that pay an increasing dividend each year allow you to enjoy a larger flow of passive income over time.Blue-chipcompanies,REITsand even smaller businesses have built up a track record of increasing their dividends every year.Their reliability andresiliencemake them perfect candidates for an investment portfolio that can withstand a recession.Although my investment portfolio contains these four dividend-paying stocks, I wished I had owned them sooner.Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX: S68)Singapore Exchange Limited, or SGX, is Singapore’s sole stock exchange operator.The bourse operator offers a comprehensive range of securities for investors and fund managers to buy and sell.I scooped up shares of SGX back in 2018 when it was paying out an annual dividend of S$0.30 per share.Fast forward to today, and SGX has increased its dividend to S$0.32 per share, paying out S$0.08 every quarter.Shares now offer a trailing dividend yield of 3.3%.The exchange has been busy this year with the listing of threespecial purpose acquisition companies(SPACs), a first for Singapore.SGX is also partnering with OCBC Bank(SGX: O39) to launch its Lion-OCBC Securities Singapore Low Carbon ETF, an exchange-traded fund with S$60 million of assets under management at launch.In addition, SGX has also welcomed new listings from spin-offs such as Yangzijiang Financial Holding Ltd(SGX: YF8), as well as secondary listings from Nio Inc(SGX: NIO) and Emperador Inc(SGX: EMI), an electric car and liquor company, respectively.DBS Group (SGX: D05)DBS needs no introduction, being Singapore’s largest bank.I first accumulated shares of the lender in early 2020, when the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)called onall three local banks to limit their dividend payments.As a result, DBS had to slash its quarterly dividend from S$0.33 to S$0.18 but offered scrip as an alternative to its cash dividend.I was not worried about its financial viability or its ability to continue paying out dividends because the lender has been through multiple crises in the past.True to form, when MASlifted these restrictionsin July last year, DBS restored its dividend and subsequently, increased it to S$0.36 per quarter.At an annualised dividend of S$1.44, DBS’ shares offer a prospective dividend yield of 4.8%.Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U)Mapletree Industrial Trust, or MIT, is an industrial REIT that owns 143 properties worth S$8.8 billion as of 31 March 2022.I started scooping up units of this REIT only in October last year.As a result, I missed out on consecutive years of increasing distributions since MIT was listed back in 2010.The REIT has a great combination of a solid track record of delivering higher distribution per unit (DPU) and also a strong sponsor in Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd.Overall portfolio occupancy remained high at 93.9% as of 31 March 2022, and MIT had a gearing ratio of 38.4% with a low average cost of debt of 2.5%.The REIT is currently redeveloping a cluster of buildings at Kallang Way for S$300 million which is expected to be completed in the first half of next year.Micro-Mechanics (Holdings) Ltd (SGX: 5DD)Micro-Mechanics (Holdings) Ltd, or MMH, designs, manufactures, and markets high-precision tools and parts used in the semiconductor industry.The group also engages in the contract manufacturing of parts and tools used in the wafer fabrication industry.MMH is a stock I wished I’d owned much earlier on, as the company had raised its annual dividend from just S$0.03 in fiscal 2014 (FY2014) to S$0.14 in FY2021, a more than four-fold increase.The group reported a respectable set of earnings for the first nine months of FY2022 (9M2022).Revenue rose 10.8% year on year to S$60.5 million while operating profit increased by 10% year on year to S$18.7 million.Net profit inched up 5% year on year to S$13.9 million.The outlook for the semiconductor industry appears bright.The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) projects that the global semiconductor market will grow by 8.8% year on year in 2022 to US$601 billion.In a recession…should you buy blue chip companies? Or will REITs be a better investment vehicle? These are questions every investor might ask today. And these are what we’ll be answering in our upcoming webinar “How to make money during a recession”. Come prepared as you migh walk away with insights that could make you even more money than during a bull market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":209,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9075742798,"gmtCreate":1658272837314,"gmtModify":1676536130559,"author":{"id":"3573978021681248","authorId":"3573978021681248","name":"KST66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573978021681248","authorIdStr":"3573978021681248"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9075742798","repostId":"2252275158","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2252275158","kind":"highlight","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":1658272419,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2252275158?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-20 07:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Wall Street Closes Sharply Higher on Strong Corporate Earnings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2252275158","media":"Reuters","summary":"U.S. stocks closed with sharp gains on Tuesday as more companies joined big banks in reporting earni","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>U.S. stocks closed with sharp gains on Tuesday as more companies joined big banks in reporting earnings that beat forecasts, offering respite to investors worried about higher inflation and a tightening Fed denting the corporate bottomline.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500    gained 2.8%, the highest close since June 9.

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. Once the event risk passes, there is no reason to have hedges anymore, causing implied volatility to fall and for the market to rally.</p><p>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.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2c2827ed751751392e441b5d4342e41b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"332\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Trading View</p><p>Interestingly, there has been a turn-up in 10-day realized volatility in the S&amp;P 500. When the spread between 10-day realized volatility and S&amp;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.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4bb093d9ce1f7d6ddb39e7a61f7c0b62\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"245\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p>Can the market continue to rally, sure? But there continue to be many more reasons for it not to rally.

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":399,"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":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573978021681248","authorIdStr":"3573978021681248"},"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","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1657677205,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1160094543?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-13

src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/021a26498981299d3d83215f432685b8\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"667\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Recessions, like unhappy families, are each painful in their own way.</p><p>And the next one -- which economists see as increasingly possible by the end of next year -- will probably bear that out. A US downturn may well be modest, but it might also be long.</p><p>Many observers expect any decline to be a lot less wrenching than the 2007-09 Great Financial Crisis and the back-to-back downturns seen in the 1980s, when inflation was last this high. The economy is simply not as far out of whack as it was in those earlier periods, they say.</p><h2>America&#39;s Post-WWII Recessions</h2><p>Sources: National Bureau of Economic Research, Bureau of Economic Analysis</p><p>Note: Dates denote starts of recessions. BEA lists 2001 as 0.5% rise in GDP.</p><p>While the recession may be moderate, it could end up lasting longer than the abbreviated, eight-month contractions of 1990-91 and 2001. That’s because elevated inflation may hold the Federal Reserve back from rushing to reverse the downturn.</p><p>“The good news is there’s a limit to how severe it’s going to be,” said Nomura Securities senior US economist Robert Dent. “The bad news is it’s going to be prolonged.” The former New York Fed analyst sees a roughly 2% contraction that begins in the fourth quarter and lasts through next year.</p><p>No matter what shape the pullback takes, one thing seems certain: There will be a lot of hurt when it comes. In the dozen recessions since World War II, on average the economy contracted by 2.5%, unemployment rose about 3.8 percentage points and corporate profits fell some 15%. The average length was 10 months.</p><p>Even a downturn on the shallower end of the spectrum would likely see hundreds of thousands of Americans -- at least -- lose their jobs. The batteredstock marketmay suffer a further fall as earnings drop. And President Joe Biden’s already poor pollratingscould take another hit.</p><p>“This would be the sixth or seventh recession, I think, since I started doing this,” private-equity veteran Scott Sperling said. “Every one of them is somewhat different, and every one of them feels equally painful.”</p><p>Signs of economic weakness are multiplying, with personalspendingfalling in May for the first time this year, after accounting for inflation, and a US manufacturing gauge hitting atwo-year lowin June. JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. chief US economist Michael Feroli responded to the latest data by cutting his mid-year growth forecasts “perilously closeto a recession.”</p><p>The depth and length of the recession will largely be determined by how persistent inflation proves to be, and by how much pain the Fed is willing to inflict on the economy to bring it down to levels it deems acceptable.</p><h2>Inflation Genie</h2><p>Allianz SE chief economic adviser Mohamed El-Erian said he’s worried about a stop-go scenario akin to the 1970s, where the Fed prematurely eases policy in response to economic weakness before it has eradicated inflation from the system.</p><p>Such a strategy would set the stage for a deeper economic decline down the road, and even greater inequality, the Bloomberg Opinion columnist said. El-Erian was out front in warning last year the Fed was making a big blunder by playing down the inflationary threat.</p><blockquote>“The Fed is not going to pause until they see that inflation has convincingly come down. That means that this Fed will be hiking well into economic weakness, likely prolonging the duration of the recession.”</blockquote><blockquote>-- Anna Wong, chief US economist</blockquote><p>For his part, Fed Chair Jerome Powell hasarguedthat while there’s a risk of a recession, the economy is still in good enough shape to withstand the Fed’s interest-rate hikes and dodge a downturn.</p><p>A growing number of private economists aren’t convinced.</p><p>“A faltering economy is all but inevitable,” said Lindsey Piegza, chief economist for Stifel Nicolaus &amp; Co. “The question has moved beyond if we are going to see a recession to what’s the depth and duration of a downturn.”</p><p>Just as happened some 40 years ago, the decline in gross domestic product will be driven by a central bank determined to rein in runaway consumer prices.

A US downturn may well be modest, but it might also be long.Many observers expect any decline to be a lot less wrenching than the 2007-09 Great Financial Crisis and the back-to-back downturns seen in the 1980s, when inflation was last this high. The economy is simply not as far out of whack as it was in those earlier periods, they say.America's Post-WWII RecessionsSources: National Bureau of Economic Research, Bureau of Economic AnalysisNote: Dates denote starts of recessions. BEA lists 2001 as 0.5% rise in GDP.While the recession may be moderate, it could end up lasting longer than the abbreviated, eight-month contractions of 1990-91 and 2001. That’s because elevated inflation may hold the Federal Reserve back from rushing to reverse the downturn.“The good news is there’s a limit to how severe it’s going to be,” said Nomura Securities senior US economist Robert Dent. “The bad news is it’s going to be prolonged.” The former New York Fed analyst sees a roughly 2% contraction that begins in the fourth quarter and lasts through next year.No matter what shape the pullback takes, one thing seems certain: There will be a lot of hurt when it comes. In the dozen recessions since World War II, on average the economy contracted by 2.5%, unemployment rose about 3.8 percentage points and corporate profits fell some 15%. The average length was 10 months.Even a downturn on the shallower end of the spectrum would likely see hundreds of thousands of Americans -- at least -- lose their jobs. The batteredstock marketmay suffer a further fall as earnings drop. And President Joe Biden’s already poor pollratingscould take another hit.“This would be the sixth or seventh recession, I think, since I started doing this,” private-equity veteran Scott Sperling said. “Every one of them is somewhat different, and every one of them feels equally painful.”Signs of economic weakness are multiplying, with personalspendingfalling in May for the first time this year, after accounting for inflation, and a US manufacturing gauge hitting atwo-year lowin June. JPMorgan Chase & Co. chief US economist Michael Feroli responded to the latest data by cutting his mid-year growth forecasts “perilously closeto a recession.”The depth and length of the recession will largely be determined by how persistent inflation proves to be, and by how much pain the Fed is willing to inflict on the economy to bring it down to levels it deems acceptable.Inflation GenieAllianz SE chief economic adviser Mohamed El-Erian said he’s worried about a stop-go scenario akin to the 1970s, where the Fed prematurely eases policy in response to economic weakness before it has eradicated inflation from the system.Such a strategy would set the stage for a deeper economic decline down the road, and even greater inequality, the Bloomberg Opinion columnist said. El-Erian was out front in warning last year the Fed was making a big blunder by playing down the inflationary threat.“The Fed is not going to pause until they see that inflation has convincingly come down. That means that this Fed will be hiking well into economic weakness, likely prolonging the duration of the recession.”-- Anna Wong, chief US economistFor his part, Fed Chair Jerome Powell hasarguedthat while there’s a risk of a recession, the economy is still in good enough shape to withstand the Fed’s interest-rate hikes and dodge a downturn.A growing number of private economists aren’t convinced.“A faltering economy is all but inevitable,” said Lindsey Piegza, chief economist for Stifel Nicolaus & Co. “The question has moved beyond if we are going to see a recession to what’s the depth and duration of a downturn.”Just as happened some 40 years ago, the decline in gross domestic product will be driven by a central bank determined to rein in runaway consumer prices. The Fed’s favorite inflation gauge is more than triple its 2% objective.But there are good reasons to expect the outcome won’t be nearly as bad as the early 1980s, or the 2007-09 financial crisis -- episodes when unemployment soared to double-digit levels.As Goldman Sachs Group Inc. chief economist Jan Hatzius has noted, inflation isn’t as embedded in the economy or in Americans’ psyche as it was when Paul Volcker took the helm of the Fed in 1979 after a decade of persistently powerful price pressures. So it won’t take nearly as big of a slump for today’s Fed to bring price rises down to more acceptable levels.Prominent academic economist Robert Gordonreckonsthe Fed’s task today requires about half the amount of disinflation that Volcker had to put the economy through.What’s more, consumers, banks and the housing market are all better placed to weather economic turbulence than they were ahead of the 2007-09 recession.“Private-sector balance sheets are in good shape,” said Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. chief US economist Matthew Luzzetti. “We haven’t seen leverage taken out to the extent that we saw” ahead of the financial crisis.Thanks in part to hefty government handouts that boosted savings, household debt obligations amounted to just 9.5% of disposable personal income in the first quarter, according to Feddata. That’s well below the 13.2% seen in late 2007.Banks, for their part, recentlyacedthe Fed’s latest stress test, proving they have the wherewithal to withstand a nasty combination of surging unemployment, collapsing real-estate prices and a plunge in stocks.Housing MarketAnd while housing has been battered of late by the Fed-engineered surge in mortgage rates, it too is in a better place than 2006-07, when it was awash with supply due to a speculative building boom.Today the US is about 2 million housing units “short of what our demographic profile would suggest at this point,” said Doug Duncan, chief economist at Fannie Mae. “That puts a floor to some degree under how big a recession could be.”Duncan’s base case is for a sharp depreciation in home-price increases, but not an outright decline.In the labor market, an underlying shortage of workers -- thanks to baby boomers retiring and immigration lagging -- is likely to make companies more cautious about shedding staff in a downturn, especially if it’s a mild one.“The story of the past two years has been businesses struggling to find workers,” said Jay Bryson, chief economist for Wells Fargo’s Corporate and Investment Bank. “We don’t think you’re going to see mass layoffs.”Some economists say the next recession will prove long-lived, however, if the Fed holds back from riding to the economy’s rescue -- as it’s signaled it might if inflation stays stubbornly high.Powelltolda central banking conference last week that failing to restore price stability would be a “bigger mistake” than pushing the US into a recession.Fiscal policy will also be hamstrung -- and could well turn contractionary -- if Republicans win back power in Congress, as looks likely in November midterm elections. In an echo of what happened after the financial crisis, GOP lawmakers might use debt-limit standoffs to push for cuts in government spending.While not predicting a downturn, JPMorgan’s Feroli agreed a recession may be lengthy if one occurred. That would particularly be true if the Fed is again hampered from providing the economy with help by not being able to cut interest rates below zero.“We don’t think it will be a severe one but it could be a long one,” he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":155,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9912646256,"gmtCreate":1664837593676,"gmtModify":1676537514635,"author":{"id":"3573978021681248","authorId":"3573978021681248","name":"KST66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573978021681248","authorIdStr":"3573978021681248"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9912646256","repostId":"1199244085","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1199244085","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1664810379,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1199244085?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-03 23:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Stocks Flew Higher in Morning Trading;

Rates","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1177646844","media":"The Smart Investor","summary":"Welcome to the latest edition of top stock market highlights.Temasek HoldingsInvestment firm Temasek","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Welcome to the latest edition of top stock market highlights.</p><h2>Temasek Holdings</h2><p>Investment firm Temasek Holdings has been affected by the implosion of popular cryptocurrency trading firm FTX.</p><p>FTX was one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges before it sought bankruptcy protection last week.</p><p>Its CEO and founder, Sam-Bankman Fried, has also resigned.</p><p>Temasek has released a statement confirming that it will write down its entire US$275 million investment in FTX, regardless of the outcome of the latter’s bankruptcy filing.</p><p>The US$275 million investment was made in two separate tranches between October 2021 to January 2022 for a 2.5% stake in the cryptocurrency outfit.</p><p>It also clarified that it did not invest directly in cryptocurrencies.</p><p>The due diligence process for FTX was extensive and lasted approximately eight months, during which Temasek reviewed the cryptocurrency exchange’s audited financial statements and spoke to numerous people familiar with FTX and its operations.</p><p>Its US$275 million investment made up 0.09% of its total portfolio value of US$403 billion as of 31 March 2022.</p><p>Temasek’s rationale for investing in FTX is based on its belief that cryptocurrency exchanges form a key part of the global financial system.</p><p>Hence, its thesis involved gaining exposure to the crypto markets indirectly through a fee-based model with no trading or balance sheet risk (as no direct investment in any cryptocurrency was made).</p><p>Early-stage investments in such nascent companies make up just 6% of its entire portfolio.</p><p>Thus far, such investments have, on average, generated a mid-teens rate of returns even though such investments are inherently riskier.</p><h2>Warren Buffett and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSM\">TSMC</a></h2><p>It’s been a tepid period for the semiconductor industry as chip makers have downgraded their revenue forecasts in light of slowing demand.</p><p>The COVID-fuelled boom had initially led to a chronic undersupply situation as many chip makers ramped up production aggressively to tackle the shortage.</p><p>The pendulum has now swung to the other extreme.</p><p>Chip makers such as Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) are scaling back on their capital spending plans for 2023 while clearing excess inventory.</p><p>Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has also reported waning demand for personal computers as it conducts layoffs to reduce staff costs.</p><p>Amid the gloom, one of the world’s best investors, Warren Buffett, has taken an opposing view.</p><p>The Oracle of Omaha, as he is sometimes called, has scooped up US$5 billion worth of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE: TSM), or TSMC for his conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B).</p><p>Berkshire disclosed that it acquired around 60 million American Depository Receipts (ADRs) of TSMC for the quarter ended 30 September 2022.</p><p>TSMC is the world’s leading chip maker and counts technology giants such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) as its clients.</p><p>It also manufactures semiconductors for clients such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM).</p><p>The nonagenarian investor has a history of shying away from the technology sector in his earlier years but has altered his stance recently by allocating an increasing proportion of Berkshire’s investments to the technology sector.</p><p>Whether Buffett’s bet on TSMC will work out or not remains to seen, but investors should remember that his investments are typically long-term and that he is giving a vote of confidence to semiconductors.</p><h2>Singapore bank mortgage rates</h2><p>As the US Federal Reserve raises its benchmark rates further, the local banks have also hiked their mortgage rates northward.</p><p>It’s the second time in as many months that home loan interest rates have increased.</p><p>All three banks last adjusted their home loan rates in October.</p><p>Back then, DBS Group (SGX: D05) had fired the first salvo by raising its four fixed-rate loan packages to 3.5%.</p><p>Not to be outdone, United Overseas Bank Ltd (SGX: U11), or UOB, raised its two and three-year fixed rate home loan packages to 3.75% and 3.85%, respectively.</p><p>OCBC Ltd (SGX: O39) followed suit by adjusting its two-year fixed rate package to 3.5%, too.</p><p>This round, the banks have bumped up their fixed rate loans to as high as 4.5%.</p><p>DBS’ four fixed-rate loan packages are all set at 4.25% while OCBC’s one and two-year fixed rate mortgage loans are priced at 4.3%.</p><p>UOB now has the highest rates of the trio, with its two-year package fixed at 4.5%.</p><p>With the latest increase, homeowners that need to refinance are left in a quandary.</p><p>They can choose a floating-rate loan such as the one DBS Group is offering. It is priced at 1% above the three-month compounded Singapore Overnight Rate Average (SORA) which is currently at 2.663%.</p><p>The borrowing rate will be lower, at 3.663, than its fixed rate loans of 4.5%, but there is a two-year lock-in period.</p><p>The problem is that any further increases in SORA will then bump up the floating up without the borrower being able to refinance.</p><p>And it looks increasingly like the US central bank is committing to further hikes to stub out high inflation.</p><p>Yet, if the same homeowner chooses a fixed rate package, he or she stands to pay substantially more than in interest payments compared to a year ago.</p><p>It’s not an easy choice, but perhaps these homeowners can park some of their spare cash in shares of DBS Group to somewhat offset the higher interest.</p><p>The lender’s shares are offering a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 4% right now.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1602567310727","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE

to the latest edition of top stock market highlights.Temasek HoldingsInvestment firm Temasek Holdings has been affected by the implosion of popular cryptocurrency trading firm FTX.FTX was one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges before it sought bankruptcy protection last week.Its CEO and founder, Sam-Bankman Fried, has also resigned.Temasek has released a statement confirming that it will write down its entire US$275 million investment in FTX, regardless of the outcome of the latter’s bankruptcy filing.The US$275 million investment was made in two separate tranches between October 2021 to January 2022 for a 2.5% stake in the cryptocurrency outfit.It also clarified that it did not invest directly in cryptocurrencies.The due diligence process for FTX was extensive and lasted approximately eight months, during which Temasek reviewed the cryptocurrency exchange’s audited financial statements and spoke to numerous people familiar with FTX and its operations.Its US$275 million investment made up 0.09% of its total portfolio value of US$403 billion as of 31 March 2022.Temasek’s rationale for investing in FTX is based on its belief that cryptocurrency exchanges form a key part of the global financial system.Hence, its thesis involved gaining exposure to the crypto markets indirectly through a fee-based model with no trading or balance sheet risk (as no direct investment in any cryptocurrency was made).Early-stage investments in such nascent companies make up just 6% of its entire portfolio.Thus far, such investments have, on average, generated a mid-teens rate of returns even though such investments are inherently riskier.Warren Buffett and TSMCIt’s been a tepid period for the semiconductor industry as chip makers have downgraded their revenue forecasts in light of slowing demand.The COVID-fuelled boom had initially led to a chronic undersupply situation as many chip makers ramped up production aggressively to tackle the shortage.The pendulum has now swung to the other extreme.Chip makers such as Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) are scaling back on their capital spending plans for 2023 while clearing excess inventory.Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has also reported waning demand for personal computers as it conducts layoffs to reduce staff costs.Amid the gloom, one of the world’s best investors, Warren Buffett, has taken an opposing view.The Oracle of Omaha, as he is sometimes called, has scooped up US$5 billion worth of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE: TSM), or TSMC for his conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B).Berkshire disclosed that it acquired around 60 million American Depository Receipts (ADRs) of TSMC for the quarter ended 30 September 2022.TSMC is the world’s leading chip maker and counts technology giants such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) as its clients.It also manufactures semiconductors for clients such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM).The nonagenarian investor has a history of shying away from the technology sector in his earlier years but has altered his stance recently by allocating an increasing proportion of Berkshire’s investments to the technology sector.Whether Buffett’s bet on TSMC will work out or not remains to seen, but investors should remember that his investments are typically long-term and that he is giving a vote of confidence to semiconductors.Singapore bank mortgage ratesAs the US Federal Reserve raises its benchmark rates further, the local banks have also hiked their mortgage rates northward.It’s the second time in as many months that home loan interest rates have increased.All three banks last adjusted their home loan rates in October.Back then, DBS Group (SGX: D05) had fired the first salvo by raising its four fixed-rate loan packages to 3.5%.Not to be outdone, United Overseas Bank Ltd (SGX: U11), or UOB, raised its two and three-year fixed rate home loan packages to 3.75% and 3.85%, respectively.OCBC Ltd (SGX: O39) followed suit by adjusting its two-year fixed rate package to 3.5%, too.This round, the banks have bumped up their fixed rate loans to as high as 4.5%.DBS’ four fixed-rate loan packages are all set at 4.25% while OCBC’s one and two-year fixed rate mortgage loans are priced at 4.3%.UOB now has the highest rates of the trio, with its two-year package fixed at 4.5%.With the latest increase, homeowners that need to refinance are left in a quandary.They can choose a floating-rate loan such as the one DBS Group is offering. It is priced at 1% above the three-month compounded Singapore Overnight Rate Average (SORA) which is currently at 2.663%.The borrowing rate will be lower, at 3.663, than its fixed rate loans of 4.5%, but there is a two-year lock-in period.The problem is that any further increases in SORA will then bump up the floating up without the borrower being able to refinance.And it looks increasingly like the US central bank is committing to further hikes to stub out high inflation.Yet, if the same homeowner chooses a fixed rate package, he or she stands to pay substantially more than in interest payments compared to a year ago.It’s not an easy choice, but perhaps these homeowners can park some of their spare cash in shares of DBS Group to somewhat offset the higher interest.The lender’s shares are offering a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 4% right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":774,"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":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573978021681248","authorIdStr":"3573978021681248"},"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","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1657677205,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1160094543?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-13

to this new segment where we feature interesting stocks you can look at every month.Straits Trading Co Ltd (SGX: S20)Straits Trading Co, or STC, is a conglomerate with operations and financial interests in resources (tin mining and smelting), property, and hospitality.It also has a strategic stake in Malaysia Smelting Corporation Berhad (SGX: NPW), one of the world’s leading tin producers.For the first half of 2022 (1H2022), STC reported a 23.3% year on year jump in revenue to S$270.2 million.Tin mining and smelting revenue rose 25.5% year on year while property revenue inched up 5.2% year on year.The group recorded an exceptional gain of S$658.1 million from the disposal of ARA Asset Management to ESR Group Limited (SEHK: 1821).This transaction resulted in net profit surging more than five-fold year on year from S$122.6 million to S$673 million.To reward shareholders for the unlocking of value from the above transaction, STC has proposed a special dividend by way of a distribution in specie (DIS).For the DIS, entitled shareholders can choose to receive either 145 shares of ESR or 180 new STC shares for every 1,000 STC shares owned at books closure.The equivalent value of these two options is around S$0.50 per share, which is around a 15.7% dividend yield based on STC’s latest share price of S$3.19.AEM Holdings Ltd (SGX: AWX)AEM provides comprehensive semiconductor and electronics test solutions for its clients.The group has manufacturing plants in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, Finland, South Korea and the US.AEM reported its highest half-year revenue and profit before tax for 1H2022.Revenue nearly tripled year on year from S$192.3 million to S$540.5 million while net profit soared nearly 180% year on year to S$83.1 million.The group also generated a healthy positive free cash flow of S$13.9 million for the period.AEM’s interim dividend jumped to S$0.067 for 1H2022, significantly above the S$0.026 that was paid out a year ago.The testing solutions provider also revised its revenue guidance upwards for fiscal 2022 (FY2022) to a range between S$750 million to S$800 million.Megatrends such as 5G, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence will continue to drive growth in spending for testing solutions, thereby benefitting AEM over the long run.The next phase of testing, aptly named Test 2.0, will set the scene for AEM’s future growth.The group estimates that the market for Test 2.0 could grow eightfold over the next eight years.If this projection comes to pass, it could signal a significant upside for AEM’s revenue and profits in the years to come.Nanofilm Technologies International Ltd (SGX: MZH)Nanofilm Technologies is a provider of nanotechnology solutions to clients in a wide range of industries.The group reported a respectable set of earnings for 1H2022 despite facing a challenging operating environment in Shanghai due to the COVID-19 lockdown.Revenue climbed 15.2% year on year to S$111.3 million year on year revenue growth for all its three divisions.Net profit inched up 5.1% year on year to S$18.8 million but would have risen by close to 17% year on year if the effects of COVID-19-related expenses were excluded.Nanofilm continued to generate a free cash flow of S$11.3 million for 1H2022, a slight  drop from the S$12.8 million last year.An interim dividend of S$0.011 was declared, 10% higher than the S$0.01 paid out in 1H2021.For 2H2022, Nanofilm will expand its coating services capability with a coating facility in Japan and is currently seeking qualification with a customer for application on ceramic products.The group is also exploring if it can increase its production capacity for its nanofilm business unit as it sees strong pipeline visibility.The move to its new corporate headquarters will take place in the fourth quarter of this year and Nanofilm will also set up a Nanofab engineering centre at Tai Seng Drive.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":570,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9996122640,"gmtCreate":1661134330682,"gmtModify":1676536459142,"author":{"id":"3573978021681248","authorId":"3573978021681248","name":"KST66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573978021681248","authorIdStr":"3573978021681248"},"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/9996122640","repostId":"1169939062","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1169939062","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1661132567,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1169939062?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-22

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. Rising capacity and load factorThe April to June period this year saw a significant jump in passenger numbers for SIA.As borders reopened in April, passenger numbers shot up above the one million mark that month and have been rising ever since.For 1Q2023, total passengers carried came up to 5.1 million, more than 14-fold above the 362,000 chalked up in the same period last year.Passenger load factor soared to 79%, the highest since the onset of the pandemic, up 34.1 percentage points.Passenger and cargo capacities jumped to 60.7% and 77% for 1Q2023, up from 26.5% and 56.8% in 1Q2022, respectively.3. Keeping its fleet youngDuring 1Q2023, SIA took delivery of two Airbus A350-900s, of which one joined its operating fleet.In addition, three Boeing 737-8s also joined SIA’s fleet this quarter, with another to be added once it completes its cabin retrofit.As of 30 June 2022, SIA’s operating fleet consisted of 127 passenger aircraft and seven freighters, with Scoot operating 55 passenger aircraft.The group’s fleet is just six years and three months old and is one of the youngest and most fuel-efficient fleets in the airline industry, with the average fleet age at 15 years and six months.4. Increasing its network pointsSIA continued to increase the number of destinations it flies to in response to healthy demand.In 1Q2023, it reinstated flights to cities such as Cebu, Medan, and Nanjing while Scoot launched new services to Jeju in South Korea.As of 30 June, the group’s passenger network covered 98 destinations in 36 countries, getting closer to its pre-pandemic network of 137 destinations in 37 countries.SIA plans to increase services in anticipation of the Northern Winter operating season from 30 October 2022 to 25 March 2023, and will add more flights to Los Angeles, Paris and Japan as well as restore its Indian network to pre-pandemic levels.Group capacity is expected to reach 76% by 3Q2023.5. Reinforcing its brand statusApart from boosting its fleet and increasing its network points, SIA has also been busy with other initiatives to reinforce its premium brand status.The group has increased the number of self-service options and is working closely with ecosystem partners to improve the airport experience for customers.SIA also unveiled its revamped flagship SilverKris Lounge and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Changi Airport for S$50 million.Get Smart: A firm recovery expectedWith healthy sets of financial and operating numbers, investors can expect more of the same from SIA as the recovery gathers steam.Another piece of good news was Changi Airport reporting that the number of passengers exceeded half of the pre-pandemic figure for the first time, and was ahead of the year-end target set.The second half of 2022 is expected to see even more people travelling despite the presence of more Omicron variants.Changi Airport will reopen its Terminal 4 on 13 September, with 16 airlines to be relocated there.This reopening will coincide with another quarter of Terminal 2’s opening in October, allowing the airport to handle its pre-COVID capacity of 70 million passengers per year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":435,"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":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573978021681248","authorIdStr":"3573978021681248"},"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,"repost":{"id":"1157699686","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1658880350,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1157699686?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-27 08:05","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Rebound Predicted For Singapore Stock Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1157699686","media":"RTTNews","summary":"The Singapore stock market has alternated between positive and negative finishes through the last si","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The Singapore stock market has alternated between positive and negative finishes through the last six trading days since the end of the two-day winning streak in which it had collected more than 30 points or 1 percent.

The Straits Times Index now rests just above the 3,190-point plateau although it figures to head south again on Wednesday.The global forecast for the Asian markets is negative, with weakness expected especially from the oil and technology stocks ahead of the FOMC rate decision later today. The European and U.S. markets were down and the Asian markets are predicted to follow that lead.The STI finished modestly higher on Tuesday following gains from the financial shares, while the properties and industrials were mixed.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. Volume was 1 billion shares worth 741.2 million Singapore dollars. There were 248 gainers and 183 decliners.Among the actives, Ascendas REIT soared 1.38 percent, while CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust surged 1.90 percent, CapitaLand Investment plummeted 1.53 percent, City Developments gained 0.39 percent, Comfort DelGro plunged 1.38 percent, DBS Group collected 0.58 percent, Hongkong Land slumped 0.61 percent, Keppel Corp added 0.61 percent, Mapletree Commercial Trust was up 0.54 percent, Mapletree Industrial Trust rallied 1.13 percent, Mapletree Logistics Trust jumped 1.15 percent, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation and United Overseas Bank both climbed 0.87 percent, SATS and SingTel both advanced 0.76 percent, SembCorp Industries sank 0.34 percent, Singapore Exchange tanked 1.22 percent, Singapore Technologies Engineering fell 0.24 percent, Wilmar International lost 0.25 percent, Yangzijiang Financial spiked 1.28 percent, Yangzijiang Shipbuilding tumbled 1.09 percent and Genting Singapore and Thai Beverage were unchanged.The lead from Wall Street is soft as the major averages opened lower on Tuesday and remained in the red throughout the day, ending near session lows.The Dow tumbled 228.50 points or 0.71 percent to finish at 31,761.54, while the NASDAQ plunged 220.09 points or 1.87 percent to close at 11,562.57 and the S&P 500 dropped 45.79 points or 1.15 percent to end at 3,921.05.The weakness on Wall Street also came as traders looked ahead to the Federal Reserve's monetary policy announcement later today. The Fed is widely expected to announce another 75 basis point rate hike as part of its efforts to combat elevated inflation.In corporate news, Walmart came under pressure after lowering its guidance for the second quarter and full year due to pricing actions aimed to improve inventory levels. Auto giant General Motors (GM) also moved to the downside after reporting Q2 earnings that missed estimates.In U.S. economic news, the Commerce Department said new home sales pulled back by more than expected in June. Also, the Conference Board said consumer confidence in the U.S. deteriorated by more than expected in of July.Crude oil prices fell on Tuesday, weighed by an announcement from the Biden administration about more sales from the national oil reserve to fight inflation at the pump.

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. Once the event risk passes, there is no reason to have hedges anymore, causing implied volatility to fall and for the market to rally.</p><p>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.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2c2827ed751751392e441b5d4342e41b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"332\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Trading View</p><p>Interestingly, there has been a turn-up in 10-day realized volatility in the S&amp;P 500. When the spread between 10-day realized volatility and S&amp;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.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4bb093d9ce1f7d6ddb39e7a61f7c0b62\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"245\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p>Can 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.</p></body></html>","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>The S&P 500 May Drop Sharply As A VIX Surge Nears</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\">\nThe S&P 500 May Drop Sharply As A VIX Surge Nears\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-07-18 14:47 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4523796-sp-500-may-drop-sharply-as-vix-surge-nears><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryLast week could have been a disaster for the equity market if not for options expiration.The macro backdrop is deteriorating quickly, and that is likely to weigh on stocks heading into next ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4523796-sp-500-may-drop-sharply-as-vix-surge-nears\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".SPX":"S&P 500 Index","VIX":"标普500波动率指数"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4523796-sp-500-may-drop-sharply-as-vix-surge-nears","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1171216673","content_text":"SummaryLast week could have been a disaster for the equity market if not for options expiration.The macro backdrop is deteriorating quickly, and that is likely to weigh on stocks heading into next week's FOMC meeting.Can the market continue to rally, sure?

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":399,"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":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573978021681248","authorIdStr":"3573978021681248"},"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,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":332,"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":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573978021681248","authorIdStr":"3573978021681248"},"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","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1662346022,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1130372891?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-05

Singapore Sale where we can buy stocks on the cheap.By doing so, we increase the chances of obtaining a favourable outcome in the long run.That said, it pays to be wary of value traps.Some companies are hitting a low because their business may be floundering or they may have temporarily hit a rough patch.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.Here are four Singapore stocks that recently hit their 52-week lows.We provide the facts but you need to decide if these stocks may be suitable

src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/021a26498981299d3d83215f432685b8\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"667\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Recessions, like unhappy families, are each painful in their own way.</p><p>And the next one -- which economists see as increasingly possible by the end of next year -- will probably bear that out. A US downturn may well be modest, but it might also be long.</p><p>Many observers expect any decline to be a lot less wrenching than the 2007-09 Great Financial Crisis and the back-to-back downturns seen in the 1980s, when inflation was last this high. The economy is simply not as far out of whack as it was in those earlier periods, they say.</p><h2>America&#39;s Post-WWII Recessions</h2><p>Sources: National Bureau of Economic Research, Bureau of Economic Analysis</p><p>Note: Dates denote starts of recessions. BEA lists 2001 as 0.5% rise in GDP.</p><p>While the recession may be moderate, it could end up lasting longer than the abbreviated, eight-month contractions of 1990-91 and 2001. That’s because elevated inflation may hold the Federal Reserve back from rushing to reverse the downturn.</p><p>“The good news is there’s a limit to how severe it’s going to be,” said Nomura Securities senior US economist Robert Dent. “The bad news is it’s going to be prolonged.” The former New York Fed analyst sees a roughly 2% contraction that begins in the fourth quarter and lasts through next year.</p><p>No matter what shape the pullback takes, one thing seems certain: There will be a lot of hurt when it comes. In the dozen recessions since World War II, on average the economy contracted by 2.5%, unemployment rose about 3.8 percentage points and corporate profits fell some 15%. The average length was 10 months.</p><p>Even a downturn on the shallower end of the spectrum would likely see hundreds of thousands of Americans -- at least -- lose their jobs. The batteredstock marketmay suffer a further fall as earnings drop. And President Joe Biden’s already poor pollratingscould take another hit.</p><p>“This would be the sixth or seventh recession, I think, since I started doing this,” private-equity veteran Scott Sperling said. “Every one of them is somewhat different, and every one of them feels equally painful.”</p><p>Signs of economic weakness are multiplying, with personalspendingfalling in May for the first time this year, after accounting for inflation, and a US manufacturing gauge hitting atwo-year lowin June. JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. chief US economist Michael Feroli responded to the latest data by cutting his mid-year growth forecasts “perilously closeto a recession.”</p><p>The depth and length of the recession will largely be determined by how persistent inflation proves to be, and by how much pain the Fed is willing to inflict on the economy to bring it down to levels it deems acceptable.</p><h2>Inflation Genie</h2><p>Allianz SE chief economic adviser Mohamed El-Erian said he’s worried about a stop-go scenario akin to the 1970s, where the Fed prematurely eases policy in response to economic weakness before it has eradicated inflation from the system.</p><p>Such a strategy would set the stage for a deeper economic decline down the road, and even greater inequality, the Bloomberg Opinion columnist said. El-Erian was out front in warning last year the Fed was making a big blunder by playing down the inflationary threat.</p><blockquote>“The Fed is not going to pause until they see that inflation has convincingly come down. That means that this Fed will be hiking well into economic weakness, likely prolonging the duration of the recession.”</blockquote><blockquote>-- Anna Wong, chief US economist</blockquote><p>For his part, Fed Chair Jerome Powell hasarguedthat while there’s a risk of a recession, the economy is still in good enough shape to withstand the Fed’s interest-rate hikes and dodge a downturn.</p><p>A growing number of private economists aren’t convinced.</p><p>“A faltering economy is all but inevitable,” said Lindsey Piegza, chief economist for Stifel Nicolaus &amp; Co. “The question has moved beyond if we are going to see a recession to what’s the depth and duration of a downturn.”</p><p>Just as happened some 40 years ago, the decline in gross domestic product will be driven by a central bank determined to rein in runaway consumer prices. The Fed’s favorite inflation gauge is more than triple its 2% objective.</p><p>But there are good reasons to expect the outcome won’t be nearly as bad as the early 1980s, or the 2007-09 financial crisis -- episodes when unemployment soared to double-digit levels.</p><p>As Goldman Sachs Group Inc. chief economist Jan Hatzius has noted, inflation isn’t as embedded in the economy or in Americans’ psyche as it was when Paul Volcker took the helm of the Fed in 1979 after a decade of persistently powerful price pressures. So it won’t take nearly as big of a slump for today’s Fed to bring price rises down to more acceptable levels.</p><p>Prominent academic economist Robert Gordonreckonsthe Fed’s task today requires about half the amount of disinflation that Volcker had to put the economy through.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3898720ca3ef960db90583d02e46e080\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"724\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>What’s more, consumers, banks and the housing market are all better placed to weather economic turbulence than they were ahead of the 2007-09 recession.</p><p>“Private-sector balance sheets are in good shape,” said Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. chief US economist Matthew Luzzetti. “We haven’t seen leverage taken out to the extent that we saw” ahead of the financial crisis.</p><p>Thanks in part to hefty government handouts that boosted savings, household debt obligations amounted to just 9.5% of disposable personal income in the first quarter, according to Feddata.

A US downturn may well be modest, but it might also be long.Many observers expect any decline to be a lot less wrenching than the 2007-09 Great Financial Crisis and the back-to-back downturns seen in the 1980s, when inflation was last this high. The economy is simply not as far out of whack as it was in those earlier periods, they say.America's Post-WWII RecessionsSources: National Bureau of Economic Research, Bureau of Economic AnalysisNote: Dates denote starts of recessions. BEA lists 2001 as 0.5% rise in GDP.While the recession may be moderate, it could end up lasting longer than the abbreviated, eight-month contractions of 1990-91 and 2001. That’s because elevated inflation may hold the Federal Reserve back from rushing to reverse the downturn.“The good news is there’s a limit to how severe it’s going to be,” said Nomura Securities senior US economist Robert Dent. “The bad news is it’s going to be prolonged.” The former New York Fed analyst sees a roughly 2% contraction that begins in the fourth quarter and lasts through next year.No matter what shape the pullback takes, one thing seems certain: There will be a lot of hurt when it comes. In the dozen recessions since World War II, on average the economy contracted by 2.5%, unemployment rose about 3.8 percentage points and corporate profits fell some 15%. The average length was 10 months.Even a downturn on the shallower end of the spectrum would likely see hundreds of thousands of Americans -- at least -- lose their jobs. The batteredstock marketmay suffer a further fall as earnings drop. And President Joe Biden’s already poor pollratingscould take another hit.“This would be the sixth or seventh recession, I think, since I started doing this,” private-equity veteran Scott Sperling said. “Every one of them is somewhat different, and every one of them feels equally painful.”Signs of economic weakness are multiplying, with personalspendingfalling in May for the first time this year, after accounting for inflation, and a US manufacturing gauge hitting atwo-year lowin June. JPMorgan Chase & Co. chief US economist Michael Feroli responded to the latest data by cutting his mid-year growth forecasts “perilously closeto a recession.”The depth and length of the recession will largely be determined by how persistent inflation proves to be, and by how much pain the Fed is willing to inflict on the economy to bring it down to levels it deems acceptable.Inflation GenieAllianz SE chief economic adviser Mohamed El-Erian said he’s worried about a stop-go scenario akin to the 1970s, where the Fed prematurely eases policy in response to economic weakness before it has eradicated inflation from the system.Such a strategy would set the stage for a deeper economic decline down the road, and even greater inequality, the Bloomberg Opinion columnist said. El-Erian was out front in warning last year the Fed was making a big blunder by playing down the inflationary threat.“The Fed is not going to pause until they see that inflation has convincingly come down. That means that this Fed will be hiking well into economic weakness, likely prolonging the duration of the recession.”-- Anna Wong, chief US economistFor his part, Fed Chair Jerome Powell hasarguedthat while there’s a risk of a recession, the economy is still in good enough shape to withstand the Fed’s interest-rate hikes and dodge a downturn.A growing number of private economists aren’t convinced.“A faltering economy is all but inevitable,” said Lindsey Piegza, chief economist for Stifel Nicolaus & Co. “The question has moved beyond if we are going to see a recession to what’s the depth and duration of a downturn.”Just as happened some 40 years ago, the decline in gross domestic product will be driven by a central bank determined to rein in runaway consumer prices. The Fed’s favorite inflation gauge is more than triple its 2% objective.But there are good reasons to expect the outcome won’t be nearly as bad as the early 1980s, or the 2007-09 financial crisis -- episodes when unemployment soared to double-digit levels.As Goldman Sachs Group Inc. chief economist Jan Hatzius has noted, inflation isn’t as embedded in the economy or in Americans’ psyche as it was when Paul Volcker took the helm of the Fed in 1979 after a decade of persistently powerful price pressures. So it won’t take nearly as big of a slump for today’s Fed to bring price rises down to more acceptable levels.Prominent academic economist Robert Gordonreckonsthe Fed’s task today requires about half the amount of disinflation that Volcker had to put the economy through.What’s more, consumers, banks and the housing market are all better placed to weather economic turbulence than they were ahead of the 2007-09 recession.“Private-sector balance sheets are in good shape,” said Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. chief US economist Matthew Luzzetti. “We haven’t seen leverage taken out to the extent that we saw” ahead of the financial crisis.Thanks in part to hefty government handouts that boosted savings, household debt obligations amounted to just 9.5% of disposable personal income in the first quarter, according to Feddata. That’s well below the 13.2% seen in late 2007.Banks, for their part, recentlyacedthe Fed’s latest stress test, proving they have the wherewithal to withstand a nasty combination of surging unemployment, collapsing real-estate prices and a plunge in stocks.Housing MarketAnd while housing has been battered of late by the Fed-engineered surge in mortgage rates, it too is in a better place than 2006-07, when it was awash with supply due to a speculative building boom.Today the US is about 2 million housing units “short of what our demographic profile would suggest at this point,” said Doug Duncan, chief economist at Fannie Mae. “That puts a floor to some degree under how big a recession could be.”Duncan’s base case is for a sharp depreciation in home-price increases, but not an outright decline.In the labor market, an underlying shortage of workers -- thanks to baby boomers retiring and immigration lagging -- is likely to make companies more cautious about shedding staff in a downturn, especially if it’s a mild one.“The story of the past two years has been businesses struggling to find workers,” said Jay Bryson, chief economist for Wells Fargo’s Corporate and Investment Bank. “We don’t think you’re going to see mass layoffs.”Some economists say the next recession will prove long-lived, however, if the Fed holds back from riding to the economy’s rescue -- as it’s signaled it might if inflation stays stubbornly high.Powelltolda central banking conference last week that failing to restore price stability would be a “bigger mistake” than pushing the US into a recession.Fiscal policy will also be hamstrung -- and could well turn contractionary -- if Republicans win back power in Congress, as looks likely in November midterm elections. In an echo of what happened after the financial crisis, GOP lawmakers might use debt-limit standoffs to push for cuts in government spending.While not predicting a downturn, JPMorgan’s Feroli agreed a recession may be lengthy if one occurred. That would particularly be true if the Fed is again hampered from providing the economy with help by not being able to cut interest rates below zero.“We don’t think it will be a severe one but it could be a long one,” he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":155,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9904807803,"gmtCreate":1660014759104,"gmtModify":1703476984725,"author":{"id":"3573978021681248","authorId":"3573978021681248","name":"KST66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573978021681248","authorIdStr":"3573978021681248"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9904807803","repostId":"1100048788","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1100048788","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1660010935,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1100048788?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-09 10:08","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Sembcorp Industries Doubles its Interim Dividend: 5 Highlights from its 1H2022 Earnings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1100048788","media":"The Smart Investor","summary":"It is earnings season once again, and manyblue-chip stockshave reported their latest fiscal 2022’s f","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>It is earnings season once again, and manyblue-chip stockshave reported their latest fiscal 2022’s first half (1H2022) 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 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":323,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
