$MANULIFE US REIT(BTOU.SI)$ is an interesting play. Under US Tax Law, for a US REIT to be a REIT, it MUST pay 90% of its taxable income to unit holders. If they don't, they will pay tax. If Lenders prevent the payment of dividends, this could spiral out of control. I might jump in if I think the REIT will survive but I wouldn't go in for anything more than 7 cents. It's still overvalued.
$SINGAPORE POST LIMITED(S08.SI)$ is a RISKY RISKY RISKY play. The company should have restructured and remade itself years ago but it didn't happen. Forget the debt burden, forget the downgrades, the key question is whether the company has the right leaders to turn things around. Tell me if you're brave enough to dive in and at what price will you do it?
$HUTCHISON PORT HOLDINGS TRUST(NS8U.SI)$ I'm really curious about Hutchison Port. Can someone please give me a nugget of insight why the stock has fallen so much today? It's such an interesting stock.
$SINGAPORE AIRLINES LTD(C6L.SI)$ Mistake to think that other airlines ramping up capacity automatically means that SIA won't still be able to continue its rising trajectory. Stock should be $11+ not declining. So long as SIA continues to connect itself as a luxury premium brand, demand elasticity remains consistent irrespective of price elasticity of supply. I simply don't understand the logic behind the latest hold ratings by some of these so-called experts.
New to this and Tiger Brokers, but here goes.... I would describe current equity markets as a "low conviction environment" meaning there's very little upside. So it probably makes sense to explore US Small-caps. I'm currently looking into: $Arvinas LLC(ARVN)$ $Ducommun(DCO)$ (My biggest conviction) and $SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc.(SWTX)$ .
$Arvinas Holding Company LLC(ARVN)$ Just passing this on from attached web article. I make no opinion on the article. "The predicted price for ARVN in the upcoming period, according to Oppenheimer is $95 based on the research report published on June 26th of the current year 2023." https://newsheater.com/2023/08/01/arvinas-inc-arvn-shares-up-despite-recent-market-volatility/
$WeWork(WE)$ I think the big questions for me are: 1) yes, we understand that the cash burn is bad and at this rate it won't last long, but when will they file for bankruptcy? Is it imminent as in weeks? Or are we talking near the end of the year? 2) Where is SoftBank? When will they step in? Will they step in? I mean, if we are talking Chapter 11 filing at the end of the year, I'm tempted to just go in and play around with the volatile ups and downs until then. What are your thoughts?
If there's one pharmaceutical S&P 500 that's not going to be impacted by Medicare's new price negotiation power under the Inflation Reduction Act, it's $Viatris Inc.(VTRS)$ . It's portfolio of generics and biosimilars will carry it well in addition to its new additions. With an EPS < 8 it is potentially a good value addition.
$COMFORTDELGRO CORPORATION LTD(C52.SI)$ Horrible company. CEO has the personality of a wet fish. I'm not even sure they even know how to execute the simple growth model of EV charging points. Zombie company. Get out while you can.
Markets are overreacting towards $AT&T Inc(T)$ and $Verizon(VZ)$ to the lead cabling reports. Even if the cleanup cost is $59 billion, assigning liability to these 2 isn't straightforward. There are legal battles and procedures to go through, and a complex array of numerous third parties who will be dragged in and who may share the liability. By which time both carriers would have had the opportunity to provision the losses from their extremely large annual revenue figures.
Price-to-Book (P/B) is an important measure for publicly traded banks. Any bank with a P/B value of over 1 is a vote of confidence for that bank. But many banks trade under 1. The theory is that it's difficult to quantify the risks inherent in banking so if a bank's share trades over 1 it's considered a sturdier banking operation. But there is such a thing as too low a book value. With a P/B of 0.47 for $Citigroup(C)$ one wonders whether there is room for a value investment. What are your thoughts?
So US markets are falling this morning because jobs market shows sign of strength triggering speculation of rate hike? Ridiculous! I'm buying into stocks that gain from higher employment. $AT&T Inc(T)$ $Verizon(VZ)$
