tg-height=\"526\"/><span>Image Credit: Singtel</span></p><p><strong>Singtel</strong> (SGX: Z74) is one of the last few blue-chip stocks to report its earnings.</p><p>Fortunately, the telco did not disappoint.</p><p>For its fiscal 2023 (FY2023) ending 31 March 2023, Singtel pulled off a commendable performance as both underlying revenue and net profit improved.</p><p>A recovery in roaming revenues along with higher 5G take-up rates helped the group to report a better FY2023 even though the fiscal year started on a rocky footing.</p><p>Here are five highlights from Singtel’s latest earnings that investors should take note of.</p><h2>1. A better financial performance</h2><p>Singtel saw its operating revenue dip by 1.7% year on year to S$14.6 billion but this figure included Optus’ NBN migration revenue and contributions from Amobee, which was divested earlier during FY2023.</p><p>Excluding these items, Singtel’s underlying revenue would have risen by 1.9% year on year instead.</p><p>Operating profit rose 6.9% year on year to S$3.4 billion while net profit climbed 14.2% year on year to S$2.2 billion.</p><p>Excluding exceptional items, the telco’s underlying net profit would have risen by 6.8% year on year to S$2.1 billion.</p><p>The better performance was because of robust mobile growth accompanied by price increases as international travel boomed, boosting roaming revenue.</p><p>In addition, 5G adoption also increased, growing from 480,000 in FY2022 to 760,000 in FY2023.</p><p>Higher demand for ICT services also played a role in helping to lift Singtel’s fortunes, and the telco managed to generate a positive free cash flow of S$2.5 billion for the fiscal year.</p><p>For FY2023, Singtel has parked S$1.37 billion into Singapore Treasury Bills to earn a better yield on its cash.</p><h2>2. Stronger Singapore consumer numbers</h2><p>For the Singapore consumer division, it saw an 11% year on year increase in mobile service revenue to S$1.26 billion.</p><p>Postpaid roaming revenue more than tripled year on year as travel demand surged.</p><p>Prepaid revenue also improved with more inbound tourists and foreign workers flocking back to Singapore</p><p>As a result, operating profit for the division climbed 18% year on year to S$331 million.</p><p>The number of mobile customers has increased by 4.4% year on year from 4.13 million to 4.31 million.</p><p>However, management estimates that Singtel’s market share has fallen from 48% to 45.6% over the same period.</p><p>The good news is that the average revenue per user (ARPU) improved by 9.7% year on year to S$26 on a blended basis.</p><p>Data usage also continued its upward climb, rising by 16% year on year to 9 GB.</p><h2>3. Improved broadband performance offset by weaker Pay TV</h2><p>Over at the Fixed Broadband division, revenue for FY2023 inched up 2.2% year on year to S$492 million as Singtel increased the number of fixed broadband lines from 658,000 a year ago to 668,000.</p><p>Despite the increase, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) published statistics that showed a slight decline in broadband market share from 43.2% to 43.1%.</p><p>As for the Pay TV division, revenue continued its downward trend, falling by 22.2% year on year to S$153 million.</p><p>The number of residential TV customers fell by 9.7% year on year to 322,000 while ARPU for the division declined by 14% year on year to S$34.</p><h2>4. NCS weighed down by acquisitions and investments</h2><p>Singtel’s NCS division reported a mixed set of numbers.</p><p>Revenue improved by 16% year on year to S$2.7 billion as the group expanded its enterprise business and enjoyed contributions from new acquisitions.</p><p>Operating profit, however, plunged by 35% year on year to S$139 million as the division spent on digital investments and paid out higher wages in line with inflation.</p><p>Despite the weaker profit, the division reported bookings of S$3.2 billion which should set up a strong foundation for a better FY2024.</p><h2>5. A higher overall dividend</h2><p>Singtel declared a final dividend of S$0.053, slightly higher than the prior year’s final dividend of S$0.048.</p><p>Together with the interim dividend of S$0.046, the total core dividend declared for FY2023 comes up to S$0.099, higher than FY2022’s S$0.093.</p><p>The telco had also declared a special dividend of S$0.05 arising from the group’s asset recycling initiatives during its fiscal 2023’s first-half earnings announcement.</p><p>Note that the first tranche of this special dividend of S$0.025 was already paid out along with the interim dividend.</p><p>Hence, Singtel will pay out the remaining S$0.025 along with the final dividend of S$0.053, bringing the total dividend payable this round to S$0.078.</p><p>Combining all these dividends, FY2023’s total dividend comes in at S$0.149, 60% higher than FY2022’s total dividends of S$0.093.</p><h2>Get Smart: Setting goals for FY2024</h2><p>Singtel has set its priorities for FY2024 as it continues with its strategic reset.</p><p>It will work on integrating consumer and enterprise businesses to drive growth while scaling its various growth engines to expand its market share.</p><p>The telco is targeting to achieve a low double-digit return on invested capital (ROIC) in the medium term, though it did not give a specific timeline.</p><p>FY2023’s ROIC came in at 8.3% (excluding Optus’ goodwill), higher than the 7.3% reported in FY2022.</p></body></html>","source":"thesmartinvestor_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

A higher overall dividendSingtel declared a final dividend of S$0.053, slightly higher than the prior year’s final dividend of S$0.048.Together with the interim dividend of S$0.046, the total core dividend declared for FY2023 comes up to S$0.099, higher than FY2022’s S$0.093.The telco had also declared a special dividend of S$0.05 arising from the group’s asset recycling initiatives during its fiscal 2023’s first-half earnings announcement.Note that the first tranche of this special dividend of S$0.025 was already paid out along with the interim dividend.Hence, Singtel will pay out the remaining S$0.025 along with the final dividend of S$0.053, bringing the total dividend payable this round to S$0.078.Combining all these dividends, FY2023’s total dividend comes in at S$0.149, 60% higher than FY2022’s total dividends of S$0.093.Get Smart: Setting goals for FY2024Singtel has set its priorities for FY2024 as it continues with its strategic reset.It will work on integrating consumer and enterprise businesses to drive growth while scaling its various growth engines to expand its market share.The telco is targeting to achieve a low double-digit return on invested capital (ROIC) in the medium term, though it did not give a specific timeline.FY2023’s ROIC came in at 8.3% (excluding Optus’ goodwill), higher than the 7.3% reported in FY2022.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9970460416,"gmtCreate":1684829346836,"gmtModify":1684829350209,"author":{"id":"3582969710070724","authorId":"3582969710070724","name":"OO_898","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9fb3c360d5d7711641a868a144192fc7","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/m/post/9970460416","repostId":"1193321102","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1193321102","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":1684828850,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1193321102?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-05-23 16:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Singapore Airlines Stock Corrects After 5 Consecutive Days of Gains","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1193321102","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Singapore Airlines stock corrected 2% in Tuesday’s trading after 5 consecutive days of gains.

source of income, and the often-proven track records of their businesses. Better yet, most dividend-paying stocks tend to grow their dividends over time.</p><p>To see how a growing dividend can transform a portfolio, look no further than <strong>Berkshire Hathaway&#39;</strong>s investment in <strong>Coca-Cola</strong>. In 1994, Berkshire completed its seven-year purchase of Coca-Cola at a total cost of $1.3 billion. Fast forward to 2022, and Coca-Cola paid $704 million in dividends on those shares, now worth roughly $25 billion.</p><p>It&#39;s a good idea for investors to start with reliable dividend payers when considering which stocks they might buy and hold forever. Here are two dividend-paying stocks that might be the next Coca-Cola for your portfolio. </p><h2>1. Costco Wholesale</h2><p><strong>Costco Wholesale</strong>&#39;s membership-only model has propelled it to become one of the most successful wholesale retailers and stocks over the past decade. The company has rewarded investors handsomely during that time, with a total return (change in stock price plus dividends) of 459%, outperforming the <strong>S&amp;P500</strong> benchmark by over 250%.</p><p>On the surface, Costco&#39;s quarterly dividend of $1.02 per share, equating to an annual dividend yield of 0.81%, won&#39;t excite many investors. The good news is that the dividend will likely grow over time as management has raised it annually since 2004. Also, Costco is known for its regular special cash dividends, which it typically pays out once every three years or so. With that timeline in mind, Costco shareholders should expect another special cash dividend soon, as the previous one came in December 2020 for $10 per share.</p><p>Beyond Costco stock&#39;s past performance and dividends, the company has one of the best balance sheets in the public markets, with a net debt (long-term debt minus cash and short-term investments) of -$7.1 billion. For comparison, competitors <strong>Target</strong> and <strong>Walmart</strong> have net debts of $14.4 billion and $30.6 billion, respectively.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93661fa779d16cd8d6f372627f2b9943\" alt=\"Image source: Getty Images.\" title=\"Image source: Getty Images.\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><p>For future growth, Costco will rely on expanding locations -- it plans to open approximately 29 additional new warehouses in 2023. That would be a roughly 3% increase from its 848 sites as of February 12, 2023. Additionally, Costco will likely increase annual membership fees soon, which generated approximately $4.2 billion in 2022. Management last raised membership fees in June 2017, averaging an increase roughly every five-and-a-half years.</p><p>For many investors, Costco stock&#39;s high valuation -- its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 36.7 -- is a reason not to invest. For comparison, Target and Walmart trade at P/E ratios of 26.5 and 35.8, respectively. However, if you consider that over the past five years Costco&#39;s stock has had an average P/E ratio of 36.8 and generated a total return of 173%, there may be a good reason for its consistently high valuation. </p><h2>2. Waste Management</h2><p>For many Americans and Canadians, <strong>Waste Management</strong> is the company that takes away their trash and recycling. The stock has produced a total return of roughly 125% over the past five years, doubling the total return of the S&amp;P500.</p><p>Waste Management currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.70 per share, representing an annual dividend yield of 1.6%. North America&#39;s leading waste services company has paid and raised its dividend for 20 consecutive years.</p><p>Moreover, the company is consistently free-cash-flow positive, signifying it can continue to pay its dividend and repurchase shares, which both return capital to shareholders. For 2023, management expects $2.6 billion to $2.7 billion in free cash flow, representing more than a 25% increase from its roughly $2 billion free cash flow in 2022.</p><p>Waste Management is investing roughly $1 billion in 2023 for growth projects in its recycling and renewable energy businesses. While this investment, combined with dividends and share repurchases, will hamper the company&#39;s balance sheet in the near term, as the company will likely be spending above its free cash flow in 2023, management expects it will lead to an additional $630 million in annual free cash flow by 2026.</p><p>So even with Waste Management&#39;s growing net debt of $15 billion, leadership could start paying it down with its reliable free cash flow if interest expenses become a nuisance. However, at this time management prefers reinvesting in the business and returning capital to shareholders. Both are positive for any long-term investor. </p><h2>Are these top dividend stocks buys?</h2><p>Historically, dividend stocks tend to be less volatile than growth stocks, providing the added benefit of a regular and reliable income stream. These two stocks in particular not only offer growing dividends, but are the leaders in their respective industries, with plans to expand their business to provide future growth. That makes Costco and Waste Management great additions to any long-term investor&#39;s portfolio. </p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

J&J, by contrast, has repeatedly been able to avoid these pitfalls by hitting on winning companies like Abiomed that ultimately enhance its overall value proposition to shareholders. J&J's successful capital allocation strategy, heavy investment on internal pipeline development, and rich tradition of dividend increases have made its stock a tremendous investment for long-term stakeholders:As such, this Buffett stock is arguably worth buying in any type of market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":7,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9970998729,"gmtCreate":1683788243962,"gmtModify":1683788247796,"author":{"id":"3582969710070724","authorId":"3582969710070724","name":"OO_898","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9fb3c360d5d7711641a868a144192fc7","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/m/post/9970998729","repostId":"2334440716","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2334440716","pubTimestamp":1683785159,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2334440716?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-05-11 14:05","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"UOB’s Acquisition of Citi’s Consumer Banking Businesses in Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam Brings Customers to Over 7 Mil","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2334440716","media":"Felicia Tan","summary":"The bank states that it will have close to 8 mil customers by end-2023 after the acquisition of Citi’s Indonesia consumer business","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The completion of United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) acquisition of Citi’s consumer banking businesses in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam has brought the bank’s regional retail customer count to over seven million as at March 31.</p><p>When it completes its acquisition of Citi’s consumer business in Indonesia, the bank’s customer count will have close to eight million customers, says UOB.</p><p>“Our transformative decision to acquire Citigroup’s consumer businesses in four Asean markets during the pandemic has proven to be very timely, positioning us well as consumer spending returns with a vengeance,” says Jacquelyn Tan, head of group personal financial services at UOB.</p><p>The four markets are also expected to provide an additional $1 billion to UOB’s revenue on a full-year basis in addition to building stronger resilience with diversification in its geographical and revenue mix.</p><p>Prior to the acquisition, 70% of UOB’s portfolio was in Singapore versus 30% in the region.

The report contained revisions to jobs numbers for March and February, though, indicating a resilient but cooling labor market and giving investors hope the Fed would pause its hikes.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9947713357,"gmtCreate":1683597542079,"gmtModify":1683597545694,"author":{"id":"3582969710070724","authorId":"3582969710070724","name":"OO_898","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9fb3c360d5d7711641a868a144192fc7","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/m/post/9947713357","repostId":"2333232379","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2333232379","pubTimestamp":1683596079,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2333232379?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-05-09 09:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Sells $5.25 Billion in Five-Part Dollar Bond Sale","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2333232379","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Bond deal is slightly higher than initial $5 billion targetDebt sale will be ‘very well received by ","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><p>Bond deal is slightly higher than initial $5 billion target</p></li><li><p>Debt sale will be ‘very well received by the market’: Invesco</p></li></ul><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple Inc.</a> tapped the US blue-chip bond market Monday as a flood of borrowers raise cash ahead of key inflation readings later this week.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The Cupertino, California-based company sold bonds in a five-part, $5.25 billion deal which was originally targeted at about $5 billion, according to a person familiar with the matter.

A mixed set of financials</h2><p>Revenue for 1Q 2023 dipped by 0.4% year on year to S$356.5 million as demand normalised with the easing of pandemic-related measures.</p><p>However, gross profit managed to inch up 0.1% year on year to S$102.8 million as gross margin improved from 28.7% in 1Q 2022 to 28.8% in 1Q 2023.</p><p>Other income fell from S$3.3 million a year ago to S$2.4 million because of lower government grants and the sale of scrap material, offset by higher rental income.</p><p>Administrative expenses rose 6.5% year on year to S$63.2 million mainly due to two reasons – higher utility costs as Sheng Siong renewed its electricity supply agreement at the end of 2022, and higher staff costs.</p><p>Although finance income jumped more than sevenfold year on year to S$2.7 million, net profit still fell by 5.2% year on year to S$33.4 million.</p><p>Despite the lower profit, Sheng Siong continued to maintain a sturdy balance sheet with S$283.1 million of cash and no debt.</p><p>The supermarket retailer also generated positive free cash flow of S$13.9 million for the quarter, though it was down 31% year on year from the prior year’s S$20.1 million.</p><h2>2.

A mixed set of financialsRevenue for 1Q 2023 dipped by 0.4% year on year to S$356.5 million as demand normalised with the easing of pandemic-related measures.However, gross profit managed to inch up 0.1% year on year to S$102.8 million as gross margin improved from 28.7% in 1Q 2022 to 28.8% in 1Q 2023.Other income fell from S$3.3 million a year ago to S$2.4 million because of lower government grants and the sale of scrap material, offset by higher rental income.Administrative expenses rose 6.5% year on year to S$63.2 million mainly due to two reasons – higher utility costs as Sheng Siong renewed its electricity supply agreement at the end of 2022, and higher staff costs.Although finance income jumped more than sevenfold year on year to S$2.7 million, net profit still fell by 5.2% year on year to S$33.4 million.Despite the lower profit, Sheng Siong continued to maintain a sturdy balance sheet with S$283.1 million of cash and no debt.The supermarket retailer also generated positive free cash flow of S$13.9 million for the quarter, though it was down 31% year on year from the prior year’s S$20.1 million.2. Gross margin continues to climbWhen Sheng Siong released its 2022 earnings, we highlighted how the retailer managed to consistently increase its gross margin.Last year, the group managed to lift its gross margin from 28.7% to 29.4% through a more favourable sales mix of higher-margin items.This trend has continued into 1Q 2023.Gross margin saw a small uptick to 28.8% for the quarter, up 0.1 percentage points, due to a sales mix with products of higher margins.Compared with 1Q 2020, the gross margin had improved by nearly two percentage points from 27%.3. Store expansion gathers paceSheng Siong’s modus operandi is to grow its business through steady store expansion.It has managed to do so even through the pandemic years of 2020 to 2022 when store count jumped from 59 at end-2019 to 67 by the end of 2022.As of 31 March 2023, the supermarket operator owned and operated 68 stores, with one new store opened during 1Q 2023.The total retail area has hit a historical high of 613,100 square feet, more than 50% higher than its store footprint of 400,000 square feet a decade ago.4. Room for further growthInvestors may be wondering if the retailer can continue to grow given that Singapore is a small country.Management plans to open at least three new stores per year and with the pandemic behind it, construction of HDB flats should also resume its normal schedule.The government is ramping up its public housing supply to meet strong demand and clear the backlog accumulated during the pandemic years.National Development Minister Desmond Lee said that there will be 150 concurrent built-to-order (BTO) projects by 2025.This year alone, HDB will launch around 23,000 BTO flats in areas such as Tengah and Jurong West.There will be ample opportunities for Sheng Siong to bid for new sites to open new stores and continue its expansion plan.The group is also due to open its fifth store in Kunming, China.5. A cautious outlookManagement has provided a cautious outlook as events such as the US banking crisis, persistent inflation, and high interest rates dampen consumer spending.The good news is that higher prices may prompt some customers to switch to cheaper alternatives such as Sheng Siong’s numerous house brand products, helping to drive sales in this area.However, higher energy prices and consistent in-store promotions will negatively impact margins and translate to lower net profit even as Sheng Siong grows its top line.There is also the chance that Singapore may enter a technical recession this year which may further crimp consumers’ propensity to spend.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9947387682,"gmtCreate":1682578472747,"gmtModify":1682578476402,"author":{"id":"3582969710070724","authorId":"3582969710070724","name":"OO_898","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9fb3c360d5d7711641a868a144192fc7","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/m/post/9947387682","repostId":"1188175337","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1188175337","pubTimestamp":1682560321,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1188175337?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-04-27 09:52","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"4 Singapore REITs Are Hitting Fresh 52-Week Lows: Are They a Bargain?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188175337","media":"The Smart Investor","summary":"These REITs are plumbing new 52-week lows even as interest rates show signs of stabilising.

style=\"text-align: start;\">Some of these could be bargains that may make you want to include them in your dividend watchlist.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">OUE Commercial REIT (SGX: TS0U)</h2><p style=\"text-align: start;\">OUE Commercial REIT, or OUECR, is a diversified REIT with seven properties spread across the commercial and hospitality sectors in both Singapore and

23.8% in the past year to S$0.32, just a whisker away from its 52-week low of S$0.30.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The REIT reported a downbeat set of earnings for 2022, with revenue dipping by 3.4% year on year to S$241.5 million.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Net property income (NPI) fell by 3.6% year on year while distribution per unit (DPU) slid by 18.5% year on year to S$0.0212.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Things could be looking up for OUECR, though.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">It just completed the refurbishment of Hilton Singapore Orchard and its full inventory of 1,080 rooms has been available since the beginning of this year with the opening of the new Orchard Wing.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">What’s more, aggregate leverage has come down slightly from 40.3% in September 2022 to 38.8% in December 2022.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The REIT also has no further refinancing requirement until September 2023 when 11.8% of its total debt is due.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Elsewhere, OUECR’s property valuation has also inched up slightly by 2.6% year on year to S$6.17 billion as of 31 December 2022, alluding to the quality of its assets.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">Dasin Retail Trust (SGX: CEDU)</h2><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Dasin Retail Trust owns a portfolio of seven retail malls in the cities of Foshan, Zhuhai and Zhongshan in China.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The REIT’s unit price has plunged by 53.3% in the space of a year to close at a 52-week low of S$0.14.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">For the first nine months of 2022 (9M 2022), the REIT saw a 7.8% year on year fall in revenue to S$70.7 million while NPI declined by 8.3% year-on-year to S$55.2 million.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The manager of Dasin had, earlier this month, terminated the leases of two tenants, Xiaolan and E-Colour, as the rental has been in arrears since February 2021.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">These two tenants make up 6.2% of the REIT’s total gross rental income.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Just this week, the retail REIT also terminated lease agreements with Carrefour China and Gome.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Carrefour China was one of the anchor tenants for Dasin’s Ocean Metro Mall while Gome is the sixth largest tenant of the REIT.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">United Hampshire US REIT (SGX: ODBU)</h2><p style=\"text-align: start;\">United Hampshire US REIT, or UHREIT, is a US-based retail REIT with 21 predominantly-freehold grocery and necessity-based properties along with two self-storage properties.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The AUM stood at US$738.7 million as of 31 December 2022.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">UHREIT’s unit price was cut by a third from S$0.63 to a 52-week low of S$0.42.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">For 2022, the retail REIT reported a 22.2% year on year

development initiative in St Lucie West to build a property of approximately 63,000 square feet.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">To be completed in the first quarter of 2025, the asset will be on a 15-year lease to <strong>Academy Sports</strong> (NASDAQ: ASO), one of the largest sporting goods retailers in the US.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Investors should also feel reassured as 81.4% of the REIT’s debts are on fixed rates.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">Elite Commercial REIT (SGX: MXNU)</h2><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Elite Commercial REIT is a UK commercial REIT with a portfolio of 155 freehold commercial buildings with a total value of £466.2 million as of 31 December 2022.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Elite’s unit price has declined by 38.5% in the past year

style=\"text-align: start;\">The manager released some good news last week showing how 134 of the REIT’s assets will see their rent increase as their leases are pegged to the UK inflation rate.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Only 11 properties will see a slight rental reduction.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Because of this change, the revised rent per annum beginning 1 April 2023 has increased from £31.8 million to £36 million.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Investors should see Elite Commercial REIT reporting higher revenue numbers moving forward while the REIT also enjoys a

Orchard Wing.What’s more, aggregate leverage has come down slightly from 40.3% in September 2022 to 38.8% in December 2022.The REIT also has no further refinancing requirement until September 2023 when 11.8% of its total debt is due.Elsewhere, OUECR’s property valuation has also inched up slightly by 2.6% year on year to S$6.17 billion as of 31 December 2022, alluding to the quality of its assets.Dasin Retail Trust (SGX: CEDU)Dasin Retail Trust owns a portfolio of seven retail malls in the cities of Foshan, Zhuhai and Zhongshan in China.The REIT’s unit price has plunged by 53.3% in the space of a year to close at a 52-week low of S$0.14.For the first nine months of 2022 (9M 2022), the REIT saw a 7.8% year on year fall in revenue to S$70.7 million while NPI declined by 8.3% year-on-year to S$55.2 million.The manager of Dasin had, earlier this month, terminated the leases of two tenants, Xiaolan and E-Colour, as the rental has been in arrears since February 2021.These two tenants make up 6.2% of the REIT’s total gross rental income.Just this week, the retail REIT also terminated lease agreements with Carrefour China and Gome.Carrefour China was one of the anchor tenants for Dasin’s Ocean Metro Mall while Gome is the sixth largest tenant of the REIT.United Hampshire US REIT (SGX: ODBU)United Hampshire US REIT, or UHREIT, is a US-based retail REIT with 21 predominantly-freehold grocery and necessity-based properties along with two self-storage properties.The AUM stood at US$738.7 million as of 31 December 2022.UHREIT’s unit price was cut by a third from S$0.63 to a 52-week low of S$0.42.For 2022, the retail REIT reported a 22.2% year on year jump in revenue to US$67.5 million.NPI improved by 12.2% year on year to US$47.1 million.However, DPU slid 3.6% year on year to US$0.0588.UHREIT enjoyed a high committed occupancy of 96.9% as of 31 December 2022.The manager has also announced a new development initiative in St Lucie West to build a property of approximately 63,000 square feet.To be completed in the first quarter of 2025, the asset will be on a 15-year lease to Academy Sports (NASDAQ: ASO), one of the largest sporting goods retailers in the US.Investors should also feel reassured as 81.4% of the REIT’s debts are on fixed rates.Elite Commercial REIT (SGX: MXNU)Elite Commercial REIT is a UK commercial REIT with a portfolio of 155 freehold commercial buildings with a total value of £466.2 million as of 31 December 2022.Elite’s unit price has declined by 38.5% in the past year to hit a 52-week low of £0.40.For 2022, the REIT’s revenue rose 6.7% year on year to £37.1 million but its DPU fell by 11.4% year on year to £0.0481.The manager released some good news last week showing how 134 of the REIT’s assets will see their rent increase as their leases are pegged to the UK inflation rate.Only 11 properties will see a slight rental reduction.Because of this change, the revised rent per annum beginning 1 April 2023 has increased from £31.8 million to £36 million.Investors should see Elite Commercial REIT reporting higher revenue numbers moving forward while the REIT also enjoys a high occupancy rate of 97.9% as of 31 December 2022.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9947385928,"gmtCreate":1682576361864,"gmtModify":1682576366032,"author":{"id":"3582969710070724","authorId":"3582969710070724","name":"OO_898","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9fb3c360d5d7711641a868a144192fc7","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/m/post/9947385928","repostId":"1170878757","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1170878757","pubTimestamp":1682575235,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1170878757?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-04-27

OCBC’s target price is now at $13 from $14 previously while UOB’s target price is at $30.30, down from $34.20 previously.Higher downside risks for Singapore banking sector overallIn an overall report on the Singapore banking sector dated April 20, Lim notes several higher downside risks ahead such as limited upside for net interest margins (NIMs).“As [the] US Federal Reserve (US Fed) comes close to a peak in this interest rate cycle, we believe there are limited upside for NIMs going forward for Singapore banks, especially as pressures from funding costs continue,” she writes.Economists from DBS Group Research expect the US Fed to hike rates once more during the 2Q2023 to 5.25%, which is the terminal rate for the current rate hike cycle.The analyst also sees increasing downside risks from potential rate cuts in FY2023 should a recession force the Fed to cut rates.“Singapore Banks have seen strong q-o-q NIM expansion since 1QFY2022, with 4QFY2022 NIMs hitting a decade high as interest rates soared. However, stronger deposit pressures seen during 1QFY2023 will likely lead to an even more muted q-o-q NIM expansion ahead, and possibly deterioration across the banks,” she says.Amid a more uncertain macroeconomic environment, the analyst sees loan growth and recovery in non-interest income may be “weaker than hoped for”.“Industry loan growth continues to be weak as system loans contracted by -1.1% year-to-date (ytd) as of end-February,” she writes.“We expect Singapore banks to see muted loan growth of 0% to 1% q-o-q during 1QFY2023.

We believe the downside to OCBC’s share price will be supported by its strong provisions buffer of 114%,” she adds.Lim also sees limited upside for UOB’s NIMs as the Fed rate cycle nears its peak with pressure from funding costs.UOB’s offering of higher fixed deposit interest rates on top of higher interest rates for its flagship current account savings accounts (CASA) compared to its peers in 2HFY2022 will weigh on its upcoming NIMs during the 1QFY2023, notes Lim.“[This is] as an increase in the cost of deposits offsets an increase in asset yields.

that the group can continue to perform well in the coming quarters.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">CEO Piyush Gupta is confident of achieving mid-single-digit year on year loan growth for 2023 along with double-digit year on year fee income growth as China’s economy reopens.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Interest rates also look set to remain high with the US Federal Reserve announcing its ninth consecutive rate hike in late March to a range of 4.75% to 5% to combat inflation.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Higher rates will support better net interest margins for the bank which

last year as the pandemic receded and <u>interest rates</u> surged.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">It didn’t help that many technology companies also announced <u>layoffs</u> in a tacit admission that they had been too exuberant over their prospects.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">However, I will argue that several companies still have what it takes to deliver growth amid these challenging conditions.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Investors need to latch on to businesses with strong franchises and possess dominant market positions within their respective sectors.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">These attributes, along with quality management, will make the stock a sure-fire winner.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">We feature four US growth stocks with lots of fuel in their tank to enable their earnings to continue increasing.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">And when the business does well, we are confident that its stock price will naturally follow.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a></h2><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Meta Platforms is a social media giant with products such as the chat program WhatsApp, the video and photo-sharing platform Instagram, and the social media app Facebook.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The company reported a downbeat set of earnings for 2022.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Revenue dipped 1% year on year to US$116.6 billion while operating profit slid 38% year on year to US$28.9 billion.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Net profit plunged 41% year on year to US$23.2 billion.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">There’s a silver lining, though.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">CEO Mark Zuckerberg has deemed 2023 as the Meta Platforms’ “Year of Efficiency” and vowed to take cost-cutting measures to make the company a “stronger and nimbler organisation”.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The social media giant has made good on its promise, with more jobs expected to be axed this week after a first round of layoffs announced in March which will see 10,000 jobs eliminated.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Meanwhile, Meta Platforms is also pursuing growth in the field of generative artificial intelligence (AI) to use it to create ads for different companies by the end of 2023.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">At the same time, the company is also opening its Horizon Worlds metaverse to teenagers in the US and Canada in the coming weeks as part of a trial to retain more users within the space.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">If all goes well, the company’s metaverse ambitions can continue while the business right-sizes itself to prepare for ad growth this year.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NFLX\">Netflix</a></h2><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Netflix offers streaming TV services and is one of the largest players in its industry.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The company is off to a slow start for the first quarter of 2023 (1Q 2023), with revenue growing 3.7% year on year to US$8.2 billion.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Operating margin rebounded strongly to 21%, up from the previous quarter’s 7%, but was down from 1Q 2022’s operating margin of 25.7%.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Consequently, net profit fell by 18.3% year on year to US$1.3 billion.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Investors have reason to cheer, though.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Paid memberships continued to rise to a new record of 232.5 million, up 4.9% year on year, adding another 1.75 million members to Netflix’s database.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Management expects roughly the same paid additions for 2Q 2023 and then a jump in 3Q as new member enhancement initiatives along with paid sharing kick in.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Netflix also quoted figures from Nielsen that showed it had a market share of 2% to 4% in markets such as Brazil, Mexico and Poland, suggesting that it has plenty of opportunity to capture more market share.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a></h2><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Adobe is a multimedia and software company that offers several software-as-a-service (SaaS) products delivered via cloud computing.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The company’s offerings include Creative Cloud, Document Cloud and Experience Cloud which deliver a range of services including digital signatures, image libraries, and customer relationship management.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Adobe announced record revenue for its 1Q 2023 ending 3 March 2023.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Revenue hit US$4.66 billion, up 9% year on year, while net profit dipped slightly by 1.5% year on year to US$1.25 billion.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The company also generated a free cash flow of US$1.59 billion for the quarter.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Adobe projects that its earnings per share for fiscal 2023 (FY2023) will rise by 8.9% year on year to end at US$11.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The company should also enjoy a long-term earnings boost from its US$20 billion acquisition of Figma back in September last year.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That is, if the acquisition is approved by authorities. </p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Although the transaction will lower earnings per share in the first two years after closing, management expects Figma to break even in year three and be profitable from then onwards.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSCO\">Tractor Supply Company</a></h2><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Tractor Supply Company is one of the largest rural lifestyle retailers in the US.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The company operated 2,066 Tractor Supply stores in 49 states as of 31 December 2022 and 186 Petsense stores in 23 states.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The rural lifestyle specialist reported a strong set of results for 2022, with revenue increasing 11.6% year on year to US$14.2 billion.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Net profit increased by 9.2% year on year to US$1.09 billion, and a total of US$3.68 in dividends per share was paid out, a sharp increase from the US$2.08 paid out a year ago.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The company’s Neighbors Club loyalty program has seen membership rise to 28 million, up 47% in the past two years.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Tractor Supply projects that revenue can hit between US$15 billion to US$15.3 billion for 2023, and that the company can enjoy comparable store sales of positive 3.5% to 5.5%.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1602567310727","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

stocks had been badly hammered last year as the pandemic receded and interest rates surged.It didn’t help that many technology companies also announced layoffs in a tacit admission that they had been too exuberant over their prospects.However, I will argue that several companies still have what it takes to deliver growth amid these challenging conditions.Investors need to latch on to businesses with strong franchises and possess dominant market positions within their respective sectors.These attributes, along with quality management, will make the stock a sure-fire winner.We feature four US growth stocks with lots of fuel in their tank to enable their earnings to continue increasing.And when the business does well, we are confident that its stock price will naturally follow.Meta PlatformsMeta Platforms is a social media giant with products such as the chat program WhatsApp, the video and photo-sharing platform Instagram, and the social media app Facebook.The company reported a downbeat set of earnings for 2022.Revenue dipped 1% year on year to US$116.6 billion while operating profit slid 38% year on year to US$28.9 billion.Net profit plunged 41% year on year to US$23.2 billion.There’s a silver lining, though.CEO Mark Zuckerberg has deemed 2023 as the Meta Platforms’ “Year of Efficiency” and vowed to take cost-cutting measures to make the company a “stronger and nimbler organisation”.The social media giant has made good on its promise, with more jobs expected to be axed this week after a first round of layoffs announced in March which will see 10,000 jobs eliminated.Meanwhile, Meta Platforms is also pursuing growth in the field of generative artificial intelligence (AI) to use it to create ads for different companies by the end of 2023.At the same time, the company is also opening its Horizon Worlds metaverse to teenagers in the US and Canada in the coming weeks as part of a trial to retain more users within the space.If all goes well, the company’s metaverse ambitions can continue while the business right-sizes itself to prepare for ad growth this year.NetflixNetflix offers streaming TV services and is one of the largest players in its industry.The company is off to a slow start for the first quarter of 2023 (1Q 2023), with revenue growing 3.7% year on year to US$8.2 billion.Operating margin rebounded strongly to 21%, up from the previous quarter’s 7%, but was down from 1Q 2022’s operating margin of 25.7%.Consequently, net profit fell by 18.3% year on year to US$1.3 billion.Investors have reason to cheer, though.Paid memberships continued to rise to a new record of 232.5 million, up 4.9% year on year, adding another 1.75 million members to Netflix’s database.Management expects roughly the same paid additions for 2Q 2023 and then a jump in 3Q as new member enhancement initiatives along with paid sharing kick in.Netflix also quoted figures from Nielsen that showed it had a market share of 2% to 4% in markets such as Brazil, Mexico and Poland, suggesting that it has plenty of opportunity to capture more market share.AdobeAdobe is a multimedia and software company that offers several software-as-a-service (SaaS) products delivered via cloud computing.The company’s offerings include Creative Cloud, Document Cloud and Experience Cloud which deliver a range of services including digital signatures, image libraries, and customer relationship management.Adobe announced record revenue for its 1Q 2023 ending 3 March 2023.Revenue hit US$4.66 billion, up 9% year on year, while net profit dipped slightly by 1.5% year on year to US$1.25 billion.The company also generated a free cash flow of US$1.59 billion for the quarter.Adobe projects that its earnings per share for fiscal 2023 (FY2023) will rise by 8.9% year on year to end at US$11.The company should also enjoy a long-term earnings boost from its US$20 billion acquisition of Figma back in September last year.That is, if the acquisition is approved by authorities. Although the transaction will lower earnings per share in the first two years after closing, management expects Figma to break even in year three and be profitable from then onwards.Tractor Supply CompanyTractor Supply Company is one of the largest rural lifestyle retailers in the US.The company operated 2,066 Tractor Supply stores in 49 states as of 31 December 2022 and 186 Petsense stores in 23 states.The rural lifestyle specialist reported a strong set of results for 2022, with revenue increasing 11.6% year on year to US$14.2 billion.Net profit increased by 9.2% year on year to US$1.09 billion, and a total of US$3.68 in dividends per share was paid out, a sharp increase from the US$2.08 paid out a year ago.The company’s Neighbors Club loyalty program has seen membership rise to 28 million, up 47% in the past two years.Tractor Supply projects that revenue can hit between US$15 billion to US$15.3 billion for 2023, and that the company can enjoy comparable store sales of positive 3.5% to 5.5%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9944581552,"gmtCreate":1681915537377,"gmtModify":1681915541707,"author":{"id":"3582969710070724","authorId":"3582969710070724","name":"OO_898","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9fb3c360d5d7711641a868a144192fc7","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/m/post/9944581552","repostId":"2328800047","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2328800047","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com
