Can Sembcorp Marine Turn Around?

Sembcorp Marine Ltd(SGX: S51), or SMM, is still reeling from the oil price crash in 2020 and the effects of the pandemic. The oil rig specialist had announced itssecond rights issuein as many years last August as it sought to shore up its balance sheet. The group recently released its fiscal 2021 (FY2021) earnings and it wasn’t a pretty picture. SMM reported a S$1.2 billion net loss, double of what it incurred in FY2020. At the same time, news of a potential sanction on Russian crude oil has pushed oil prices briefly past US$130 per barrel. Analysts from Bank of America estimated that the world may face a shortfall of five million barrels if this happens. As a result, oil prices could then soar to US$200 per barrel, a level unseen thus far, analysts said. Amid this development, could SMM s

Meme Stock Mania: Still Gas Left in the Tank?

One of the market's most interesting stories over the last several years was the uprising of “meme stocks.” Out of the bunch, GameStop GME was undoubtedly the most popular, shaking the market violently with a short-squeeze that was the magnitude of which is rarely seen.No matter which side you were on, we can all agree on one thing – it was a wild time. GME shares were trading at around $20 per share at the beginning of January 2021, and after the month was over, shares closed up more than 1500% at around $325 per share.Needless to say, long-term investors were rewarded handsomely, and it was an absolute paradise for day traders. For short-sellers, it was a nightmare.Simply put, it was a rollercoaster that many market participants decided to take a ride on.Along with GameStop, a few others

FYI. ADP private employment report this morning delivered numbers very different from rosy statistics, supplied by US labor dept. As you likely know, ADP did not report any numbers for few months, because of internal changes, whatever it means. Certainly, it helped US government to propagate "very strong" employment numbers for the same period.$Micron Technology(MU)$

Oversea-Chinese Banking (SGX:O39) Is Increasing Its Dividend To S$0.28

Oversea-Chinese Banking's Earnings Easily Cover the Distributions We aren't too impressed by dividend yields unless they can be sustained over time. Based on the last payment, Oversea-Chinese Banking's earnings were much higher than the dividend, but it wasn't converting those earnings into cash flow. No cash flows could definitely make returning cash to shareholders difficult, or at least mean the balance sheet will come under pressure. The next year is set to see EPS grow by 12.0%. Assuming the dividend continues along recent trends, we think the payout ratio could be 46% by next year, which is in a pretty sustainable range. While the company has been paying a dividend for a long time, it has cut the dividend at least once in the last 10 years. The dividend has gone from S$0.30 in 2012

Alibaba (BABA)'sADRscould rip higher after a massive relief rally spurred by an ease of regulatory risks, which one equity manager called "a sea change." "I think you're going to see China stocks rip for the next 8 or 12 months into the China National Congress [elections]," Thomas Hayes, chairman of Great Hill Capital, told Yahoo Finance. "When you look at some of them in particular, we're focused on Alibaba, I think the returns are going to be spectacular.' On Wednesday, e-commerce giant Alibaba and its peerssoared more than 30%after China's top financial body said it would ensure stability in capital markets and support stock listings overseas. "The only two things holding these companies back were ... the tech crackdown over the summer, in earnest, and then the delisting risk," said Hay

FedEx just bombed market for tomorrow cutting earnings estimates by 50% based on macro deteriorating faster than they thought. GE just warned too lol. Watch out below. The warnings starting to roll in like immigrants to the southern border. This is heading below all time lows because everything is so much worse. Loosing a Billion each quarter and only 10billion left in cash. Last quarter cash was down $3Billion so maybe 1 year left. SEC investigation, class action lawsuits will cost billions, insider trading criminal charges just out this week, money trusts management now. Insiders sold 99% of shares in just 1 year. Why? Now market share has crashed from 10% to 2.5% as customers are being hacked and customers move to free platforms like FTX vs paying 5% for a trade. This is a bankrupt

Sea Limited: Is It Cheap Enough?

My last article about Sea Limited (NYSE:SE) waspublished in February 2022when the stock was trading around $140, and I rated the stock as a hold.

We start by looking at the quarterly results.Quarterly ResultsOn Tuesday,Sea Limited reported second quarter resultsfor fiscal 2022.

Intel's Data Center Business Is Struggling

Given how strongly the major cloud computing companies are growing, it's a little surprising how poorlyIntel's(INTC-8.56%)data center business performed during the second quarter.Intel's enterprise customer base is far broader than cloud computing providers, and recession fears are starting to impact purchasing and expansion decisions at businesses. But the company wasn't even in the ballpark of expectations.Unexpected weaknessIntel's data center and artificial-intelligence (AI) segment produced $4.65 billion of revenue in the second quarter, down 16% year over year. Analyst Vivek Arya ofBank of America(BAC1.47%)Merrill Lynch pointed outduring the earnings callthat this performance was close to 25% below expectations, which was likely a big reason the stock had dropped around 9% by Friday

NIO (NYSE:NIO) shareholders are still up 555% over 3 years despite pulling back 11% in the past week

NIO Inc.(NYSE:NIO) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 11% in the last week. But that doesn't displace its brilliant performance over three years. In fact, the share price has taken off in that time, up 555%. So you might argue that the recent reduction in the share price is unremarkable in light of the longer term performance. The thing to consider is whether there is still too much elation around the company's prospects. Anyone who held for that rewarding ride would probably be keen to talk about it.Although NIO has shed CN¥4.5b from its market cap this week, let's take a look at its longer term fundamental trends and see if they've driven returns.See our latest analysis for NIOBecause NIO made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probabl
