Acumen Diagnostics is mainly involved in the manufacture, sale and distribution of diagnostic test kits for Covid-19.\n\"Q&M continues to generate stable and resilient earnings, and we foresee no material changes in or threats to its market share in the private dental space in the medium term,\" said Mr Ng.\n\"Overall, Singapore continues to be the main revenue driver as a significant proportion of Q&M's sales are generated by the local segment. With Q&M's plans on expanding its network, we expect resilience in future years via gaining greater market share,\" he added.\nShares Raffles Medical was trading $0.01 or 0.9 per cent higher at $1.15 as at 11.12am on Friday, while Q&M was up by one cent or 1.5 per cent at 68.5 cents.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":423,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181204518,"gmtCreate":1623394546334,"gmtModify":1704202426188,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XPEV\">$XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$</a>???","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XPEV\">$XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$</a>???","text":"$XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$???","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a146a3ab07397077158a87e9ea2ac8a","width":"1284","height":"2457"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/181204518","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":502,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181205806,"gmtCreate":1623394460505,"gmtModify":1704202424067,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"New ticker in my Watchlist","listText":"New ticker in my Watchlist","text":"New ticker in my Watchlist","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/093e097cc6a3ca574f54965e03688250","width":"1125","height":"2433"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/181205806","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":607,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":117901942,"gmtCreate":1623112128886,"gmtModify":1704196215018,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"??fast","listText":"??fast","text":"??fast","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aded34a6c5c26969e5e9821b9c1a6d86","width":"1125","height":"3213"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/117901942","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":405,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":374980188,"gmtCreate":1619408884844,"gmtModify":1704723401824,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ha ha ha ha ha","listText":"Ha ha ha ha ha","text":"Ha ha ha ha ha","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/374980188","repostId":"1117221855","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117221855","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619407271,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117221855?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-26 11:21","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Huawei pivots to software with Google-like ambitions as U.S. sanctions hit hardware business","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117221855","media":"CNBC","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nHuawei is boosting its efforts in areas such as cloud computing and smart cars hoping so","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nHuawei is boosting its efforts in areas such as cloud computing and smart cars hoping software becomes a larger part of its revenue mix in the future.\nThe pivot to software comes after U.S...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/26/huawei-focuses-on-software-as-us-sanctions-hurt-hardware-business.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

It included a cockpit kitted out with HarmonyOS, the operating system Huawei launched in 2019, as well as autonomous driving capabilities. Huawei will not be making cars and will instead focus on the technology that powers them.\nAnd on Sunday, Huawei launched some new cloud computing products as it looks to challenge China’s market leader, Alibaba.\nHuawei said in a press release on Sunday that it hopes the focus on cloud will “eventually increase the proportion our software and service business has in our total revenue mix.”\nThe pivot to software comes after U.S. sanctions on Huawei have caused smartphone sales to plunge. The Chinese giant was put on a blacklist known as the Entity List in 2019 which restricted its access to some American technology. And last year, Washington moved tocut Huawei off form key semiconductor supplies.\n“Huawei is doubling down on pivoting to a software/cloud and services company,” Neil Shah, research director at Counterpoint Research, said.\nAs a result of Washington’s sanctions, Shah said the Chinese company is “unable to procure critical semiconductor components and related tech” from the U.S.\n“Huawei with this effort is becoming like Google,” he said.\nGoogle makes the Android mobile operating system used by the majority of the world’s smartphones. The tech giant is also working onin-car software and has a fast-growing cloud computing business.\nHuawei has also touted its HarmonyOS as being able to work across different devices from smartphones to TVs and cars.\n“The smartphone business is facing challenges, they have another mobile platform which is the car for them to utilize HarmonyOS. The car could be a big mobile platform to apply and use HarmonyOS,” Will Wong, research manager at IDC said.\nIn its pursuit of areas such as vehicles and cloud, Huawei will look to challenge some of China’s biggest technology companies. Alibaba is the market leader in China for cloud computing. And in the vehicle space, a slew of companies are vying for a slice of the pie from established players like Baidu to new entrants such as Xiaomi.\nInsulation from geopolitics\nBehind Huawei’s push into software is also an attempt to insulate itself from potential geopolitics and any further actions from the U.S. While Washington successfully hindered Huawei’s access to chips, it could be a bigger challenge to hurt the software business.\n“It will be more protected when talking about geopolitics from the U.S.,” IDC’s Wong said.\nHe noted that the chipsets required for vehicles require a less advanced manufacturing process too than smartphones.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":375,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":374917007,"gmtCreate":1619408827709,"gmtModify":1704723400529,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ha ha ha ha ha","listText":"Ha ha ha ha ha","text":"Ha ha ha ha ha","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/374917007","repostId":"2130395818","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2130395818","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1619406690,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2130395818?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-26 11:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Takes Aim at Spotify's Podcast Ambitions","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2130395818","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Spotify wants to dominate podcasts, but Apple is taking a big swing at taking the market back.","content":"<p>Despite being extremely early in podcast distribution, <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL)&nbsp;neglected its podcast app for a long time, failing to grow subscriptions, streaming advertisements, or exclusive, high-quality content.

Free podcasts are easy to find and they open up a world of users to podcast producers. Once a podcast goes behind a paywall there's a lot more friction between users and discovery. \nSpotify is playing a different game\nApple is a big competitor of Spotify in podcasts, but this move may not upend the company's plans. Spotify already has a subscription business in music and exclusive podcasts, and subscriptions to some podcasts may be coming. But I think the biggest opportunity will be building out an advertising business with the user data and advertiser network to make \"free\" podcasts profitable. \nPodcast production, which Spotify has in its portfolio, is also not dependent on being on Spotify's platform. It has creation tools with Anchor and an editing suite with Soundtrap, just to name a couple of tools. So it's possible that Spotify will make money on podcasts that are made with its tools but distributed through Apple Podcasts. \nDo subscriptions make sense in podcasting at all?\nFor creators, it's great that Apple is providing a new revenue option in its podcast business. But the biggest question facing Apple is whether or not subscriptions make sense at all in podcasts. If listeners don't mind a few targeted ads in a podcast, just as they get with radio content, then the subscription model may not generate as much revenue as ad-supported podcasts. \nAggregation is another thing to think about in podcast subscriptions. Paying one lump sum for access to all podcasts may be appealing, but paying 5-10 subscription fees may be a turnoff. There's a reason music, TV, and now streaming have aggregated content from multiple sources into a subscription and not charged on a per channel or per record label basis. \nThere's also the medium that makes podcasts slightly different from any other streaming service to date. Podcasts are a passive medium that you can listen to while working out, driving, or doing almost anything throughout the day. There's no action needed, unlike clicking on an article or actively watching TV. Given the passive nature, ads may not be the end of the world for podcasts. And if discovery outweighs the revenue from subscriptions, I could see an ad model working out better than subscriptions long term.\nAs an Apple podcast listener, I'm happy to see the company put more attention into audio content. But as a Spotify shareholder, I don't think it's as big a threat as some investors might think. And even if subscriptions are successful, Spotify is small and nimble enough to adapt to the market as it grows, so my money is still on Spotify winning the podcast battle long term.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":357,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":374911071,"gmtCreate":1619408291093,"gmtModify":1704723392074,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good news","listText":"Good news","text":"Good news","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/374911071","repostId":"2129366917","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":608,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":373025638,"gmtCreate":1618804998524,"gmtModify":1704715105470,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi nio going down","listText":"Hi nio going down","text":"Hi nio going down","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1494ec433a005a5920dd718580ec40a7","width":"1125","height":"2976"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/373025638","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":112,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379866231,"gmtCreate":1618716661123,"gmtModify":1704714275373,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi please check this","listText":"Hi please check this","text":"Hi please check this","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f244ccf2bdedabfaf326b590a7574dcc","width":"1125","height":"2976"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379866231","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":217,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":343860258,"gmtCreate":1617703127674,"gmtModify":1704701964953,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi huh","listText":"Hi huh","text":"Hi huh","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a63750729c0e0ca6a38d01eb97a0e05","width":"1125","height":"3255"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/343860258","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":171,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":349509631,"gmtCreate":1617621175723,"gmtModify":1704700946990,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good good","listText":"Good good","text":"Good good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/349509631","repostId":"1143289418","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143289418","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617608016,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143289418?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-05 15:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"T-Mobile, AMD, Levi Strauss, Constellation Brands, and Other Stocks to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143289418","media":"Barrons","summary":"It’s a quiet week on the earnings calendar.

Others are discussing how to preempt and navigate demands from governments, and the wider public, to pick up their share of the recovery costs.</p>\n<p>“The stock market crashed a year ago, by July or so my portfolio was back where it was before, at the beginning of the year, and now it’s far higher,” said Morris Pearl, a former managing director at BlackRock who chairs Patriotic Millionaires, a group that believes the high net worth should do more to close the wealth gap.</p>\n<p>“The fundamental problem is this gross inequality that’s getting worse.”</p>\n<p>The plans being discussed by the ultra-rich range from philanthropy, to shifting money and businesses into trust funds, and relocating to other countries or states with favourable tax regimes, according to Reuters interviews with seven millionaires and billionaires and more than 20 advisers to the wealthy.</p>\n<p>“It’s quite evident that the bill is coming for everybody,” said Rob Weeber, CEO at Swiss wealth manager Tiedemann Constantia, who said some clients were also considering selling major assets like businesses before tax rates rise.</p>\n<p>In the United States, the election of Joe Biden as president, and anticipated higher taxes for the rich, have in particular triggered a sharp increase in demand from clients to set up trusts, according to wealth managers.</p>\n<p>This would allow them to pass along money to children or other relatives under the current $11.7 million tax-free threshold per person.

Profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company was approximately RMB34.0 million, which represented a decline of approximately 8.8% as compared to the last year. The decrease in profit was mainly caused by the net effect of the decrease in valuation gains on investment properties, the increase in administrative expenses due to recognition of costs in relation to preparatory works for the acquisition of properties in the United Kingdom (\"U.K.\") and the increase in other income, net. The basic earnings per share was approximately RMB0.08. The Board has proposed to pay a final dividend of RMB1.92 cents (equivalent to HK2.29 cents) per share for the year ended 31 December 2020.</p>\n<p>Property Leasing</p>\n<p>The Group's leasing properties are located in Chengdu, Sichuan province and Kunming, Yunnan province in the PRC. At 31 December 2020, the property portfolio comprises three commercial buildings, namely Everbright Financial Center, part of Everbright International Mansion and Ming Chang Building, with a total gross floor area (\"GFA\") of approximately 89,507 (2019: 88,529) square meter (\"sq.m.\"). The Group's residential properties, namely Dufu Garden, with GFA of approximately 1,319 sq.m., were disposed during the year.</p>\n<p>Property Management Service</p>\n<p>In order to maximize the value of the Group's properties, the Group has a professional property management team to provide property management services for its properties, namely, Everbright Financial Center and Everbright International Mansion. Revenue from the Group's property management services was approximately RMB15.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. During the year, the decrease in revenue from property management services was due to the rise in vacancy rate resulting from the expiration of tenancy agreements of individual tenants. Total GFA under the management was approximately 70,498 sq.m., an increase of 1.9% as compared with last year.</p>\n<p>Investment Properties</p>\n<p>The investment properties mainly consist of land and/or buildings which are owned or held under leasehold interest to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation. As at 31 December 2020, the fair value of the investment properties was RMB933.3 million. The valuation gain on investment properties for the year ended 31 December 2020 amounted to approximately RMB17.2 million, representing a decrease of approximately RMB9.2 million as compared with last year. The decrease indicates the slow down of property market in the PRC.</p>\n<p>Prospects</p>\n<p>Looking ahead to 2021, the world economic outlook still depends highly on the situation and changes of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has caused permanent damage to the global economy, leading to further aggravation of long-term problems, and the withdrawal of expansionary policies will also bring uncertainty to the economic recovery. At present, developed economies have begun to vaccinate in a large scale, but in view of the difficulty of obtaining vaccines in emerging economies other than China, it is expected that the recovery process of emerging economies other than China will be slower than that of developed economies. Although the alleviation of pandemic is conducive to economic recovery, the global economy continues to face severe challenges in many areas such as public health, debt management, budget policies, central bank operation and structural reform.</p>\n<p>With the recovery of economic activities in China, the demand for real estate purchases and property management services has gradually picked up. The unexpected epidemic has not slowed down the development of the property management industry. In early 2021, ten departments including the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the Notice on Strengthening and Improving Residential Property Management, which encourages property management companies to use technologies such as the Internet of Things and cloud computing to build smart property management service platform, and encourages property management companies to extend to areas such as elderly care, childcare and courier pick-up and delivery. Some research indicates that improving the profitability of individual project is the heart of the policy. Thanks to favorable policies, 2021 will remain as a meaningful year for the development of property management industry, and the market size of property management industry is projected to expand to RMB2,408 billion in 3 to 5 years. At the same time, hopefully the benefits brought by technology services and value-added services will be prominent, and the revenue of property management companies is expected to grow significantly.</p>\n<p>The epidemic has not only made the public aware of the importance of property management service, but also led the capital market to rediscover the value of property management service. The property management industry is entering a new stage of development with a new look. In 2020, the Group worked hard on the front line of anti-epidemic, flexibly adjusted its commercial leasing strategy, minimized the risk of immediate rent termination, and safeguarded the long-term interests of tenants to tide over difficult times, as well as reduced rents and exempted and / or waived rent for some customers with difficulties. The Group maintained a positive brand image and welcomed new customers to settle in, which expanded the source of continuous income. Meanwhile, the property capital market was unprecedentedly hot during the year, listed property service companies were given higher valuations, and capital values continued to be reshaped.</p>\n<p>Looking forward, as China's economy continues to recover and the stimulus measures introduced during the year continues to be effective, the momentum of economic growth is expected to carry on. The Group will keep up with its large-scale expansion efforts, focus on effective scale growth, actively explore new revenue growth points for diversified operations, deepen the use of high-tech means to optimize management and services, and compete on the golden track of property management. Meanwhile, the Group has entered into the new framework agreement with China Everbright Group Limited and the long-term cooperation between both parties will promote the continuous growth of the leasing business. Benefiting from the recognition of the \"Everbright\" brand, the Group will strengthen its bargaining power and win the trust of the counterparty, which will help improve the inherent ability to expand business and achieve sustainable growth. The Group has sufficient resources in terms of capital and capability to capture opportunities of the Company and overcome challenges, and is committed to protecting the long-term interests of the shareholders (the \"Shareholders\") as a whole.</p>\n<p>About Everbright Grand China Assets Limited</p>\n<p>Everbright Grand China Assets Limited, a subsidiary of China Everbright Group, principally engaged in the businesses of property leasing, property management and sales of properties held for sale, owns, leases and manages properties located in Chengdu, Sichuan province, and also owns and leases a property located in Kunming, Yunnan province.

Profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company was approximately RMB34.0 million, which represented a decline of approximately 8.8% as compared to the last year. The decrease in profit was mainly caused by the net effect of the decrease in valuation gains on investment properties, the increase in administrative expenses due to recognition of costs in relation to preparatory works for the acquisition of properties in the United Kingdom (\"U.K.\") and the increase in other income, net. The basic earnings per share was approximately RMB0.08. The Board has proposed to pay a final dividend of RMB1.92 cents (equivalent to HK2.29 cents) per share for the year ended 31 December 2020.\nProperty Leasing\nThe Group's leasing properties are located in Chengdu, Sichuan province and Kunming, Yunnan province in the PRC. At 31 December 2020, the property portfolio comprises three commercial buildings, namely Everbright Financial Center, part of Everbright International Mansion and Ming Chang Building, with a total gross floor area (\"GFA\") of approximately 89,507 (2019: 88,529) square meter (\"sq.m.\"). The Group's residential properties, namely Dufu Garden, with GFA of approximately 1,319 sq.m., were disposed during the year.\nProperty Management Service\nIn order to maximize the value of the Group's properties, the Group has a professional property management team to provide property management services for its properties, namely, Everbright Financial Center and Everbright International Mansion. Revenue from the Group's property management services was approximately RMB15.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. During the year, the decrease in revenue from property management services was due to the rise in vacancy rate resulting from the expiration of tenancy agreements of individual tenants. Total GFA under the management was approximately 70,498 sq.m., an increase of 1.9% as compared with last year.\nInvestment Properties\nThe investment properties mainly consist of land and/or buildings which are owned or held under leasehold interest to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation. As at 31 December 2020, the fair value of the investment properties was RMB933.3 million. The valuation gain on investment properties for the year ended 31 December 2020 amounted to approximately RMB17.2 million, representing a decrease of approximately RMB9.2 million as compared with last year. The decrease indicates the slow down of property market in the PRC.\nProspects\nLooking ahead to 2021, the world economic outlook still depends highly on the situation and changes of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has caused permanent damage to the global economy, leading to further aggravation of long-term problems, and the withdrawal of expansionary policies will also bring uncertainty to the economic recovery. At present, developed economies have begun to vaccinate in a large scale, but in view of the difficulty of obtaining vaccines in emerging economies other than China, it is expected that the recovery process of emerging economies other than China will be slower than that of developed economies.

That left an opening for <b>Spotify</b> (NYSE:SPOT) to build and acquire the tools necessary to make podcasts a success for listeners and producers alike, potentially making it Spotify's biggest business long term.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>That dynamic changed on Tuesday when Apple introduced subscriptions to its Podcast app. Subscriptions will allow producers to charge listeners directly for their content. It could be an effective way to monetize content, but does it really hurt Spotify's position in the industry?&nbsp;</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a45f922033657837323a41ed525e5e1\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\"><span>Image source: Apple.</span></p>\n<h2>Apple's theory of the case&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>What Apple is betting on is that easy-to-use subscriptions will be a win-win for producers and listeners. Producers can make money while listeners can get premium, ad-free content. The theory makes sense, but may not be as easy to pull off as you might think.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Print organizations have proven that paywalls are a tough way to build a business model. The <i>New York Times </i>and a handful of other large organizations have had success moving content behind a subscription paywall, but most who've attempted paywalls have failed.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The reason why paywalls haven't made sense on the internet is that a free version of the information users might be looking for is likely only a click away. And information travels so quickly that paying for content is a tough ask for consumers.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Audio may be a little different because the content is unique and consumed differently. A conversation between a podcaster and a guest can't easily be replicated into print or other audio forms like the content of a news article can. So the paywall could work for Apple and podcasters because it's the exclusive place to find the content people are seeking.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The challenge will be discovery. Free podcasts are easy to find and they open up a world of users to podcast producers. Once a podcast goes behind a paywall there's a lot more friction between users and discovery.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Spotify is playing a different game</h2>\n<p>Apple is a big competitor of Spotify in podcasts, but this move may not upend the company's plans. Spotify already has a subscription business in music and exclusive podcasts, and subscriptions to some podcasts may be coming. But I think the biggest opportunity will be building out an advertising business with the user data and advertiser network to make \"free\" podcasts profitable.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Podcast production, which Spotify has in its portfolio, is also not dependent on being on Spotify's platform. It has creation tools with Anchor and an editing suite with Soundtrap, just to name a couple of tools. So it's possible that Spotify will make money on podcasts that are made with its tools but distributed through Apple Podcasts.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Do subscriptions make sense in podcasting at all?</h2>\n<p>For creators, it's great that Apple is providing a new revenue option in its podcast business. But the biggest question facing Apple is whether or not subscriptions make sense at all in podcasts. If listeners don't mind a few targeted ads in a podcast, just as they get with radio content, then the subscription model may not generate as much revenue as ad-supported podcasts.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Aggregation is another thing to think about in podcast subscriptions. Paying <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> lump sum for access to all podcasts may be appealing, but paying 5-10 subscription fees may be a turnoff. There's a reason music, TV, and now streaming have aggregated content from multiple sources into a subscription and not charged on a per channel or per record label basis.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>There's also the medium that makes podcasts slightly different from any other streaming service to date. Podcasts are a passive medium that you can listen to while working out, driving, or doing almost anything throughout the day. There's no action needed, unlike clicking on an article or actively watching TV. Given the passive nature, ads may not be the end of the world for podcasts.

It could be an effective way to monetize content, but does it really hurt Spotify's position in the industry? \nImage source: Apple.\nApple's theory of the case \nWhat Apple is betting on is that easy-to-use subscriptions will be a win-win for producers and listeners. Producers can make money while listeners can get premium, ad-free content. The theory makes sense, but may not be as easy to pull off as you might think. \nPrint organizations have proven that paywalls are a tough way to build a business model. The New York Times and a handful of other large organizations have had success moving content behind a subscription paywall, but most who've attempted paywalls have failed. \nThe reason why paywalls haven't made sense on the internet is that a free version of the information users might be looking for is likely only a click away. And information travels so quickly that paying for content is a tough ask for consumers. \nAudio may be a little different because the content is unique and consumed differently. A conversation between a podcaster and a guest can't easily be replicated into print or other audio forms like the content of a news article can. So the paywall could work for Apple and podcasters because it's the exclusive place to find the content people are seeking. \nThe challenge will be discovery. Free podcasts are easy to find and they open up a world of users to podcast producers. Once a podcast goes behind a paywall there's a lot more friction between users and discovery. \nSpotify is playing a different game\nApple is a big competitor of Spotify in podcasts, but this move may not upend the company's plans. Spotify already has a subscription business in music and exclusive podcasts, and subscriptions to some podcasts may be coming. But I think the biggest opportunity will be building out an advertising business with the user data and advertiser network to make \"free\" podcasts profitable. \nPodcast production, which Spotify has in its portfolio, is also not dependent on being on Spotify's platform. It has creation tools with Anchor and an editing suite with Soundtrap, just to name a couple of tools. So it's possible that Spotify will make money on podcasts that are made with its tools but distributed through Apple Podcasts. \nDo subscriptions make sense in podcasting at all?\nFor creators, it's great that Apple is providing a new revenue option in its podcast business. But the biggest question facing Apple is whether or not subscriptions make sense at all in podcasts. If listeners don't mind a few targeted ads in a podcast, just as they get with radio content, then the subscription model may not generate as much revenue as ad-supported podcasts. \nAggregation is another thing to think about in podcast subscriptions. Paying one lump sum for access to all podcasts may be appealing, but paying 5-10 subscription fees may be a turnoff. There's a reason music, TV, and now streaming have aggregated content from multiple sources into a subscription and not charged on a per channel or per record label basis. \nThere's also the medium that makes podcasts slightly different from any other streaming service to date. Podcasts are a passive medium that you can listen to while working out, driving, or doing almost anything throughout the day. There's no action needed, unlike clicking on an article or actively watching TV. Given the passive nature, ads may not be the end of the world for podcasts. And if discovery outweighs the revenue from subscriptions, I could see an ad model working out better than subscriptions long term.\nAs an Apple podcast listener, I'm happy to see the company put more attention into audio content.

And even if subscriptions are successful, Spotify is small and nimble enough to adapt to the market as it grows, so my money is still on Spotify winning the podcast battle long term.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":357,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181204518,"gmtCreate":1623394546334,"gmtModify":1704202426188,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XPEV\">$XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$</a>???","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XPEV\">$XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$</a>???","text":"$XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$???","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a146a3ab07397077158a87e9ea2ac8a","width":"1284","height":"2457"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/181204518","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":502,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":374911071,"gmtCreate":1619408291093,"gmtModify":1704723392074,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good news","listText":"Good news","text":"Good news","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/374911071","repostId":"2129366917","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":608,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":349509631,"gmtCreate":1617621175723,"gmtModify":1704700946990,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good good","listText":"Good good","text":"Good good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/349509631","repostId":"1143289418","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143289418","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617608016,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143289418?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-05 15:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"T-Mobile, AMD, Levi Strauss, Constellation Brands, and Other Stocks to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143289418","media":"Barrons","summary":"It’s a quiet week on the earnings calendar.

Others are discussing how to preempt and navigate demands from governments, and the wider public, to pick up their share of the recovery costs.</p>\n<p>“The stock market crashed a year ago, by July or so my portfolio was back where it was before, at the beginning of the year, and now it’s far higher,” said Morris Pearl, a former managing director at BlackRock who chairs Patriotic Millionaires, a group that believes the high net worth should do more to close the wealth gap.</p>\n<p>“The fundamental problem is this gross inequality that’s getting worse.”</p>\n<p>The plans being discussed by the ultra-rich range from philanthropy, to shifting money and businesses into trust funds, and relocating to other countries or states with favourable tax regimes, according to Reuters interviews with seven millionaires and billionaires and more than 20 advisers to the wealthy.</p>\n<p>“It’s quite evident that the bill is coming for everybody,” said Rob Weeber, CEO at Swiss wealth manager Tiedemann Constantia, who said some clients were also considering selling major assets like businesses before tax rates rise.</p>\n<p>In the United States, the election of Joe Biden as president, and anticipated higher taxes for the rich, have in particular triggered a sharp increase in demand from clients to set up trusts, according to wealth managers.</p>\n<p>This would allow them to pass along money to children or other relatives under the current $11.7 million tax-free threshold per person. During his campaign, Biden proposed to return to 2009 levels, when the exemption stood at $3.5 million.</p>\n<p>“We saw a surge of trusts created and funded in Q4 of last year,” said Alvina Lo, chief wealth strategist at Wilmington Trust. “The vast majority of our clients adopted a wait-and-see approach until the election in November, and then it just kicked up into high gear.”</p>\n<p>‘EXTRAORDINARILY AGILE’</p>\n<p>Nearly two-thirds of the world’s billionaire class amassed greater fortunes in 2020, according to Forbes, with the biggest gainers reaching unprecedented levels of wealth, helped by the trillions of dollars in recovery money from policymakers.</p>\n<p>Forbes, which tracks publicly known fortunes, estimated billionaires had gotten 20% richer in 2020 by mid-December.</p>\n<p>Many enjoyed investment opportunities off-limits to ordinary retail investors, capitalising on market volatility with short-term derivative trades, according to Maximilian Kunkel, UBS’s chief investment officer for wealthy family offices.</p>\n<p>When asset prices tumbled, he said, many of the bank’s biggest private clients sold put options or opted for more complex trades known as risk reversals, helping them capitalise on their bet that prices would eventually rise.</p>\n<p>“Some of our clients were extraordinarily agile in taking advantage of the biggest market dislocations,” Kunkel added.</p>\n<p>Now, as governments globally grapple with ballooning debt and growing social unrest, billionaires know the spotlight on their wealth will get stronger, according to the interviews.</p>\n<p>Many of the wealthy are mindful of looming demands from tax authorities, and are speeding up plans to pour money into trust funds for their children.</p>\n<p>Wealth strategist Jason Cain said many ultra-rich families had also sought to move other assets including businesses into trust funds, capitalising on the “unique” situation presented by the pandemic of low interest rates and depressed valuations to make potentially windfall tax savings in years to come.</p>\n<p>Inquiries in such strategies tripled during the first seven to eight months of the pandemic, according to Cain, who works for U.S.-based wealth advisory Boston Private.</p>\n<p>“75-80% of the families that we talk to were convinced that that was an opportunistic time and they needed to do something.”</p>\n<p>THE HAMPTONS, OR SINGAPORE?</p>\n<p>Others across the globe are also taking more drastic action, by relocating to countries and areas where the tax regimes and societies are more benign for the mega-rich.</p>\n<p>“They are actually saying: look, we see the world inevitably going towards more and more transparency. And there’s no point fighting a trend,” said Babak Dastmaltschi, Credit Suisse’s head of strategic clients in its international wealth management division.</p>\n<p>“Let’s just find suitable jurisdictions which are transparent, open, respected, and internationally recognised, and establish our structures there,” he added, citing Switzerland, Luxembourg and Singapore as popular targets.</p>\n<p>Henley &amp; Partners, a global citizenship and residence advisory firm based in London, said inquiries from high-net-worth individuals seeking to relocate had jumped during the pandemic. The number of calls from U.S.-based clients surged 206% in 2020 from the prior year, for example, while calls from Brazil rose 156%.</p>\n<p>For many in emerging countries, fears that strains on public services could lead to civil unrest have prompted younger generations of wealthy families particularly to seek opportunities abroad.</p>\n<p>“COVID just basically took the clothes off the Emperor, and all of a sudden, people started to realize: our healthcare system is not strong, our social safety net is really not available,” said Beatriz Sanchez, head of Latin America at global wealth manager Julius Baer.</p>\n<p>Cindy Ostranger, tax director at Clarfeld Citizens Private Wealth, said she also saw many ultra-wealthy clients moving out of New York City into their vacation getaways in the likes of the Hamptons, initially to escape the worst of the pandemic, and subsequently staying to pay lower taxes.</p>\n<p>Moves to low-tax states, including Texas, Florida and Washington, have also become more popular, said Kristi Hanson, director of taxable research at investment consulting firm NEPC’s Private Wealth group.</p>\n<p>FOCUS ON PHILANTHROPY</p>\n<p>As countries continue to grapple with the pandemic’s fallout, economists point to a larger looming issue: the decoupling of extreme wealth from overall economic prosperity.</p>\n<p>By early March, the wealth of U.S. billionaires had risen $1.3 trillion, or by nearly a half, since the start of the pandemic, according to research conducted by the Institute for Policy Studies and Americans for Tax Fairness.</p>\n<p>That brings their wealth to $4.2 trillion, roughly a fifth of U.S. economic output for 2020 and double the total wealth held by the bottom-half of the 330 million population.</p>\n<p>“We’re at a moment, you might say, after four years of celebrating inequality, people are saying that wasn’t exactly the right answer,” said Nobel Laureate and Columbia University economist Joseph Stiglitz, referring to the U.S. Trump administration reducing taxation for the rich.</p>\n<p>The pandemic has focused the attention of many super-rich people on social causes, according to UBS’s American head of family advisory and philanthropy services Judy Spalthoff.</p>\n<p>“There’s been a massive shift in the conversations we’re witnessing among families, in terms of the consideration of social inequity,” she said. “The younger generation has really been pushing this topic at the board level.</p>\n<p>“We see so many conversations in families really gut-checking to say, ‘Yes, we’ve had success.

Acumen Diagnostics is mainly involved in the manufacture, sale and distribution of diagnostic test kits for Covid-19.\n\"Q&M continues to generate stable and resilient earnings, and we foresee no material changes in or threats to its market share in the private dental space in the medium term,\" said Mr Ng.\n\"Overall, Singapore continues to be the main revenue driver as a significant proportion of Q&M's sales are generated by the local segment. With Q&M's plans on expanding its network, we expect resilience in future years via gaining greater market share,\" he added.\nShares Raffles Medical was trading $0.01 or 0.9 per cent higher at $1.15 as at 11.12am on Friday, while Q&M was up by one cent or 1.5 per cent at 68.5 cents.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":423,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181205806,"gmtCreate":1623394460505,"gmtModify":1704202424067,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"New ticker in my Watchlist","listText":"New ticker in my Watchlist","text":"New ticker in my Watchlist","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/093e097cc6a3ca574f54965e03688250","width":"1125","height":"2433"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/181205806","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":607,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":117901942,"gmtCreate":1623112128886,"gmtModify":1704196215018,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"??fast","listText":"??fast","text":"??fast","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aded34a6c5c26969e5e9821b9c1a6d86","width":"1125","height":"3213"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/117901942","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":405,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":374980188,"gmtCreate":1619408884844,"gmtModify":1704723401824,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ha ha ha ha ha","listText":"Ha ha ha ha ha","text":"Ha ha ha ha ha","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/374980188","repostId":"1117221855","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117221855","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619407271,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117221855?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-26 11:21","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Huawei pivots to software with Google-like ambitions as U.S. sanctions hit hardware business","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117221855","media":"CNBC","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nHuawei is boosting its efforts in areas such as cloud computing and smart cars hoping so","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nHuawei is boosting its efforts in areas such as cloud computing and smart cars hoping software becomes a larger part of its revenue mix in the future.\nThe pivot to software comes after U.S...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/26/huawei-focuses-on-software-as-us-sanctions-hurt-hardware-business.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

It included a cockpit kitted out with HarmonyOS, the operating system Huawei launched in 2019, as well as autonomous driving capabilities. Huawei will not be making cars and will instead focus on the technology that powers them.\nAnd on Sunday, Huawei launched some new cloud computing products as it looks to challenge China’s market leader, Alibaba.\nHuawei said in a press release on Sunday that it hopes the focus on cloud will “eventually increase the proportion our software and service business has in our total revenue mix.”\nThe pivot to software comes after U.S. sanctions on Huawei have caused smartphone sales to plunge. The Chinese giant was put on a blacklist known as the Entity List in 2019 which restricted its access to some American technology. And last year, Washington moved tocut Huawei off form key semiconductor supplies.\n“Huawei is doubling down on pivoting to a software/cloud and services company,” Neil Shah, research director at Counterpoint Research, said.\nAs a result of Washington’s sanctions, Shah said the Chinese company is “unable to procure critical semiconductor components and related tech” from the U.S.\n“Huawei with this effort is becoming like Google,” he said.\nGoogle makes the Android mobile operating system used by the majority of the world’s smartphones. The tech giant is also working onin-car software and has a fast-growing cloud computing business.\nHuawei has also touted its HarmonyOS as being able to work across different devices from smartphones to TVs and cars.\n“The smartphone business is facing challenges, they have another mobile platform which is the car for them to utilize HarmonyOS. The car could be a big mobile platform to apply and use HarmonyOS,” Will Wong, research manager at IDC said.\nIn its pursuit of areas such as vehicles and cloud, Huawei will look to challenge some of China’s biggest technology companies. Alibaba is the market leader in China for cloud computing. And in the vehicle space, a slew of companies are vying for a slice of the pie from established players like Baidu to new entrants such as Xiaomi.\nInsulation from geopolitics\nBehind Huawei’s push into software is also an attempt to insulate itself from potential geopolitics and any further actions from the U.S. While Washington successfully hindered Huawei’s access to chips, it could be a bigger challenge to hurt the software business.\n“It will be more protected when talking about geopolitics from the U.S.,” IDC’s Wong said.\nHe noted that the chipsets required for vehicles require a less advanced manufacturing process too than smartphones.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":375,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":373025638,"gmtCreate":1618804998524,"gmtModify":1704715105470,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi nio going down","listText":"Hi nio going down","text":"Hi nio going down","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1494ec433a005a5920dd718580ec40a7","width":"1125","height":"2976"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/373025638","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":112,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379866231,"gmtCreate":1618716661123,"gmtModify":1704714275373,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi please check this","listText":"Hi please check this","text":"Hi please check this","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f244ccf2bdedabfaf326b590a7574dcc","width":"1125","height":"2976"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379866231","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":217,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":343860258,"gmtCreate":1617703127674,"gmtModify":1704701964953,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi huh","listText":"Hi huh","text":"Hi huh","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a63750729c0e0ca6a38d01eb97a0e05","width":"1125","height":"3255"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/343860258","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":171,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":358951550,"gmtCreate":1616655028370,"gmtModify":1704796967751,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good info","listText":"Good info","text":"Good info","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/358951550","repostId":"2122949214","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2122949214","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1616650361,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2122949214?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-25 13:32","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Everbright Grand China Announces 2020 Annual Results","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2122949214","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"HONG KONG, Mar 25, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - - Everbright Grand China Assets Limited (\"Everbright Gran","content":"<p>HONG KONG, Mar 25, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - - Everbright Grand China Assets Limited (\"Everbright Grand China\" or the \"Group\"; HKEX stock code: 03699), a subsidiary of China Everbright Group, principally engaged in the businesses of property leasing, property management and sales of properties held for sale, announced its annual results ended 31 December 2020 (\"Reporting Period\").</p>\n<p>Dearing the reporting period, the Group's revenue amounted to approximately RMB51.7 million, which represented a decrease of approximately RMB19.6 million as compared to last year, mainly due to the absence of revenue generated from sales of the residential properties. Profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company was approximately RMB34.0 million, which represented a decline of approximately 8.8% as compared to the last year. The decrease in profit was mainly caused by the net effect of the decrease in valuation gains on investment properties, the increase in administrative expenses due to recognition of costs in relation to preparatory works for the acquisition of properties in the United Kingdom (\"U.K.\") and the increase in other income, net. The basic earnings per share was approximately RMB0.08. The Board has proposed to pay a final dividend of RMB1.92 cents (equivalent to HK2.29 cents) per share for the year ended 31 December 2020.</p>\n<p>Property Leasing</p>\n<p>The Group's leasing properties are located in Chengdu, Sichuan province and Kunming, Yunnan province in the PRC. At 31 December 2020, the property portfolio comprises three commercial buildings, namely Everbright Financial Center, part of Everbright International Mansion and Ming Chang Building, with a total gross floor area (\"GFA\") of approximately 89,507 (2019: 88,529) square meter (\"sq.m.\"). The Group's residential properties, namely Dufu Garden, with GFA of approximately 1,319 sq.m., were disposed during the year.</p>\n<p>Property Management Service</p>\n<p>In order to maximize the value of the Group's properties, the Group has a professional property management team to provide property management services for its properties, namely, Everbright Financial Center and Everbright International Mansion. Revenue from the Group's property management services was approximately RMB15.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. During the year, the decrease in revenue from property management services was due to the rise in vacancy rate resulting from the expiration of tenancy agreements of individual tenants. Total GFA under the management was approximately 70,498 sq.m., an increase of 1.9% as compared with last year.</p>\n<p>Investment Properties</p>\n<p>The investment properties mainly consist of land and/or buildings which are owned or held under leasehold interest to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation. As at 31 December 2020, the fair value of the investment properties was RMB933.3 million. The valuation gain on investment properties for the year ended 31 December 2020 amounted to approximately RMB17.2 million, representing a decrease of approximately RMB9.2 million as compared with last year. The decrease indicates the slow down of property market in the PRC.</p>\n<p>Prospects</p>\n<p>Looking ahead to 2021, the world economic outlook still depends highly on the situation and changes of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has caused permanent damage to the global economy, leading to further aggravation of long-term problems, and the withdrawal of expansionary policies will also bring uncertainty to the economic recovery. At present, developed economies have begun to vaccinate in a large scale, but in view of the difficulty of obtaining vaccines in emerging economies other than China, it is expected that the recovery process of emerging economies other than China will be slower than that of developed economies. Although the alleviation of pandemic is conducive to economic recovery, the global economy continues to face severe challenges in many areas such as public health, debt management, budget policies, central bank operation and structural reform.</p>\n<p>With the recovery of economic activities in China, the demand for real estate purchases and property management services has gradually picked up. The unexpected epidemic has not slowed down the development of the property management industry. In early 2021, ten departments including the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the Notice on Strengthening and Improving Residential Property Management, which encourages property management companies to use technologies such as the Internet of Things and cloud computing to build smart property management service platform, and encourages property management companies to extend to areas such as elderly care, childcare and courier pick-up and delivery. Some research indicates that improving the profitability of individual project is the heart of the policy. Thanks to favorable policies, 2021 will remain as a meaningful year for the development of property management industry, and the market size of property management industry is projected to expand to RMB2,408 billion in 3 to 5 years. At the same time, hopefully the benefits brought by technology services and value-added services will be prominent, and the revenue of property management companies is expected to grow significantly.</p>\n<p>The epidemic has not only made the public aware of the importance of property management service, but also led the capital market to rediscover the value of property management service. The property management industry is entering a new stage of development with a new look. In 2020, the Group worked hard on the front line of anti-epidemic, flexibly adjusted its commercial leasing strategy, minimized the risk of immediate rent termination, and safeguarded the long-term interests of tenants to tide over difficult times, as well as reduced rents and exempted and / or waived rent for some customers with difficulties. The Group maintained a positive brand image and welcomed new customers to settle in, which expanded the source of continuous income. Meanwhile, the property capital market was unprecedentedly hot during the year, listed property service companies were given higher valuations, and capital values continued to be reshaped.</p>\n<p>Looking forward, as China's economy continues to recover and the stimulus measures introduced during the year continues to be effective, the momentum of economic growth is expected to carry on. The Group will keep up with its large-scale expansion efforts, focus on effective scale growth, actively explore new revenue growth points for diversified operations, deepen the use of high-tech means to optimize management and services, and compete on the golden track of property management. Meanwhile, the Group has entered into the new framework agreement with China Everbright Group Limited and the long-term cooperation between both parties will promote the continuous growth of the leasing business. Benefiting from the recognition of the \"Everbright\" brand, the Group will strengthen its bargaining power and win the trust of the counterparty, which will help improve the inherent ability to expand business and achieve sustainable growth.

Profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company was approximately RMB34.0 million, which represented a decline of approximately 8.8% as compared to the last year. The decrease in profit was mainly caused by the net effect of the decrease in valuation gains on investment properties, the increase in administrative expenses due to recognition of costs in relation to preparatory works for the acquisition of properties in the United Kingdom (\"U.K.\") and the increase in other income, net. The basic earnings per share was approximately RMB0.08. The Board has proposed to pay a final dividend of RMB1.92 cents (equivalent to HK2.29 cents) per share for the year ended 31 December 2020.\nProperty Leasing\nThe Group's leasing properties are located in Chengdu, Sichuan province and Kunming, Yunnan province in the PRC. At 31 December 2020, the property portfolio comprises three commercial buildings, namely Everbright Financial Center, part of Everbright International Mansion and Ming Chang Building, with a total gross floor area (\"GFA\") of approximately 89,507 (2019: 88,529) square meter (\"sq.m.\"). The Group's residential properties, namely Dufu Garden, with GFA of approximately 1,319 sq.m., were disposed during the year.\nProperty Management Service\nIn order to maximize the value of the Group's properties, the Group has a professional property management team to provide property management services for its properties, namely, Everbright Financial Center and Everbright International Mansion. Revenue from the Group's property management services was approximately RMB15.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. During the year, the decrease in revenue from property management services was due to the rise in vacancy rate resulting from the expiration of tenancy agreements of individual tenants. Total GFA under the management was approximately 70,498 sq.m., an increase of 1.9% as compared with last year.\nInvestment Properties\nThe investment properties mainly consist of land and/or buildings which are owned or held under leasehold interest to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation. As at 31 December 2020, the fair value of the investment properties was RMB933.3 million. The valuation gain on investment properties for the year ended 31 December 2020 amounted to approximately RMB17.2 million, representing a decrease of approximately RMB9.2 million as compared with last year. The decrease indicates the slow down of property market in the PRC.\nProspects\nLooking ahead to 2021, the world economic outlook still depends highly on the situation and changes of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has caused permanent damage to the global economy, leading to further aggravation of long-term problems, and the withdrawal of expansionary policies will also bring uncertainty to the economic recovery. At present, developed economies have begun to vaccinate in a large scale, but in view of the difficulty of obtaining vaccines in emerging economies other than China, it is expected that the recovery process of emerging economies other than China will be slower than that of developed economies. Although the alleviation of pandemic is conducive to economic recovery, the global economy continues to face severe challenges in many areas such as public health, debt management, budget policies, central bank operation and structural reform.\nWith the recovery of economic activities in China, the demand for real estate purchases and property management services has gradually picked up. The unexpected epidemic has not slowed down the development of the property management industry. In early 2021, ten departments including the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the Notice on Strengthening and Improving Residential Property Management, which encourages property management companies to use technologies such as the Internet of Things and cloud computing to build smart property management service platform, and encourages property management companies to extend to areas such as elderly care, childcare and courier pick-up and delivery. Some research indicates that improving the profitability of individual project is the heart of the policy. Thanks to favorable policies, 2021 will remain as a meaningful year for the development of property management industry, and the market size of property management industry is projected to expand to RMB2,408 billion in 3 to 5 years. At the same time, hopefully the benefits brought by technology services and value-added services will be prominent, and the revenue of property management companies is expected to grow significantly.\nThe epidemic has not only made the public aware of the importance of property management service, but also led the capital market to rediscover the value of property management service. The property management industry is entering a new stage of development with a new look. In 2020, the Group worked hard on the front line of anti-epidemic, flexibly adjusted its commercial leasing strategy, minimized the risk of immediate rent termination, and safeguarded the long-term interests of tenants to tide over difficult times, as well as reduced rents and exempted and / or waived rent for some customers with difficulties. The Group maintained a positive brand image and welcomed new customers to settle in, which expanded the source of continuous income. Meanwhile, the property capital market was unprecedentedly hot during the year, listed property service companies were given higher valuations, and capital values continued to be reshaped.\nLooking forward, as China's economy continues to recover and the stimulus measures introduced during the year continues to be effective, the momentum of economic growth is expected to carry on. The Group will keep up with its large-scale expansion efforts, focus on effective scale growth, actively explore new revenue growth points for diversified operations, deepen the use of high-tech means to optimize management and services, and compete on the golden track of property management. Meanwhile, the Group has entered into the new framework agreement with China Everbright Group Limited and the long-term cooperation between both parties will promote the continuous growth of the leasing business. Benefiting from the recognition of the \"Everbright\" brand, the Group will strengthen its bargaining power and win the trust of the counterparty, which will help improve the inherent ability to expand business and achieve sustainable growth. The Group has sufficient resources in terms of capital and capability to capture opportunities of the Company and overcome challenges, and is committed to protecting the long-term interests of the shareholders (the \"Shareholders\") as a whole.\nAbout Everbright Grand China Assets Limited\nEverbright Grand China Assets Limited, a subsidiary of China Everbright Group, principally engaged in the businesses of property leasing, property management and sales of properties held for sale, owns, leases and manages properties located in Chengdu, Sichuan province, and also owns and leases a property located in Kunming, Yunnan province.

The earlier interim data was based on 141 infections through Feb. 17.\nIt also said the vaccine showed 85% efficacy in adults 65 years and older, higher than the 80% rate reported on Monday.\nAstraZeneca said the latest data has been presented to the independent trial oversight committee, the Data Safety Monitoring Board, and it plans to submit the analysis for peer-reviewed publication in the coming weeks.\n“The primary analysis is consistent with our previously released interim analysis, and confirms that our COVID-19 vaccine is highly effective in adults,” Mene Pangalos, executive vice president of BioPharmaceuticals R&D at AstraZeneca said in a statement.\nThe drugmaker noted there were 14 additional possible or probable cases to be analysed so numbers in later updates of the trial results may fluctuate slightly.\nThe updated 76% efficacy rate compares with rates of about 95% for vaccines from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna in their trial data.\nExperts have noted, however, that AstraZeneca’s latest data is particularly significant because it was compiled after more infectious variants of the coronavirus became prevalent.\n“This appears to be a very effective vaccine with no safety concerns,” said Paul Griffin, a professor at the University of Queensland.\n“Hopefully, this should now give people the confidence that this vaccine is the right one to continue to use moving forward,” he said, adding that he and his parents have received the vaccine.\nAstraZeneca’s vaccine is seen as crucial in tackling the spread of COVID-19 across the globe, not just due to limited supply of vaccines but also because it is easier and cheaper to transport than rival shots. It has been granted conditional marketing or emergency use authorisation in more than 70 countries.\nThe vaccine, once hailed as a milestone in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, has been dogged by questions since late last year when the drugmaker and Oxford University published data from an earlier trial with two different efficacy readings as a result of a dosing error.\nThen this month, more than a dozen countries temporarily suspended giving out the vaccine after reports linked it to a rare blood clotting disorder in a very small number of people.\nThe European Union’s drug regulator said last week the vaccine was clearly safe, but Europeans remain sceptical about its safety.\nCanada on Wednesday said it was safe but added a warning to the vaccine’s label about rare blood clots.\nIts rollout has also been marred by production glitches and export curbs imposed by India and the European Union, threatening to slow global efforts to end the pandemic which has killed more than 2.8 million.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":309,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":358953390,"gmtCreate":1616654865810,"gmtModify":1704796966135,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Going down mah!!","listText":"Going down mah!!","text":"Going down mah!!","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2a680072a177b1f04798e2f0b04bc73","width":"1125","height":"3256"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/358953390","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":205,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":359939351,"gmtCreate":1616315133873,"gmtModify":1704792857922,"author":{"id":"3576042754222931","authorId":"3576042754222931","name":"shafeeq1993","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/332a0392fdf52c452a399b8e9e581519","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576042754222931","authorIdStr":"3576042754222931"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">$NIO Inc.(NIO)$</a>Please go up!!","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">$NIO Inc.(NIO)$</a>Please go up!!","text":"$NIO Inc.(NIO)$Please go up!!","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f45f26070c9312c354ea1b7cba84f52","width":"1284","height":"2223"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/359939351","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":467,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
