SHOP Breakdown: Wave (II) Scenario Gains Strength After Weak Rebound
Shopify’s (SHOP) stock has been experiencing a bit of a downturn recently, and investors are eager to see what the second and third quarters of the year will hold. Analysts expect that the company will focus on refining its e-commerce tools and expanding its merchant solutions. Consequently, there’s a sense of cautious optimism that these efforts might help stabilize the stock’s performance. In addition, as we move further into the year, investors are keeping an eye on how macroeconomic trends will impact the broader e-commerce sector. Therefore, Shopify is likely to adapt its strategies to maintain a competitive edge. Altogether, these elements could influence the stock’s trajectory and shape how it performs in the upcoming months. Elliott Wave Outlook: SHOP Daily Chart December 2025 Elli

META likely converts first. Its AI spend already feeds ad targeting, Reels ranking and ARPU, so margin uplift can appear faster without waiting for enterprise AI adoption. MSFT is second: Azure demand is strong, but Copilot monetisation must prove scale. GCP may show the fastest growth, but Google faces Search disruption and capex scrutiny. AWS remains profitable, yet AMZN’s AI ROI may look more like capacity investment than near-term margin expansion. AAPL is the weakest AI scorecard: supply chain, iPhone demand and succession uncertainty matter more than AI capex ROI for now. My ranking: META > MSFT > GOOGL > AMZN > AAPL. The market will reward not the biggest AI spend, but the cleanest evidence that AI is improving margins now.
TOPhenshengqi: agree, meta's ad targeting from ai spend is showing results faster.

Alphabet at $400 this year is plausible, but earnings must validate three things: 1. Cloud acceleration: If Google Cloud sustains ~high-30s to 40%+ growth, the market will reward it with a higher multiple. 2. TPU monetisation: TPU 8t/8i is strategically strong. Google is now attacking both training + inference, with better performance-per-dollar and lower latency, directly strengthening its AI moat. 3. Ad resilience: Core Search margins still fund everything. If AI Overviews lift engagement without hurting monetisation, upside remains open. My view: Base case: $360 to $390. Bull case: breaks $400. Risk is classic sell-the-news, especially after a fresh ATH, if Cloud growth merely meets expectations. Still, among mega caps, Google may have one of the cleanest AI full-stack stories: ch

NVIDIA can hold the narrative, but the bar is now extremely high. Three things must happen for $300 this year to be credible: 1. Big Tech capex beats again If Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Meta all raise AI infrastructure guidance, NVDA’s backlog story strengthens materially. 2. Margins stay elite At $5T+, the market is paying for continued scarcity economics, not normal semiconductor margins. 3. Competition remains edge pressure, not core pressure Advanced Micro Devices, Google TPU and custom silicon can nibble at the edges, but hyperscaler demand is still expanding fast enough for NVDA to dominate the core. My view: Base case: $240 to $270 Bull case: $300+ if capex guides sharply higher and Blackwell supply ramps cleanly. Bear case: sell-the-news if hyperscaler spend merely meets lofty

🚨 $POET NUCLEAR MELTDOWN: -47% Crash, Marvell Dumps Orders – Is This a Legal Nightmare or Generational Dip? ⚡
💥 The Pulse $POET Technologies Inc(POET)$ Technologies just experienced a catastrophic 47-48% implosion in after-hours trading Monday, April 27, 2026, plunging to $6.97-$7.13 after $MRVL (Marvell Semiconductor) pulled the ultimate rug: canceling ALL outstanding purchase orders tied to its Celestial AI acquisition. The trigger? Allegations that $POET leaked confidential purchase order and shipping details back in April 2023—a disclosure violation that's now attracting shareholder class action attorneys. What started as a photonic AI darling riding a 76% weekly surge has turned into a credibility crisis. With an RSI at 81.43 (dangerously overbought before the crash) and support hovering near the 52-week low of $3.78, this isn't just a dip—it's a tr

Pricing Strength Battles Network Deleveraging ⚖️📉🚚 📦 Q1 did not read to me as a simple beat-and-guide quarter. It looked more like a stress test of whether $UPS can absorb a deliberate network reset without impairing long-term earnings power. The market’s initial answer was sceptical, sending shares down -5.8%, as fuel-cost concerns, demand sensitivity and pressure from a declining 50DMA overshadowed earnings and revenue beats. 🟢 EPS: $1.07 vs $1.02 est 🟢 Revenue: $21.2B vs $20.97B est ⚠️ Adj. Operating Margin: 6.2% 🔍 What really matter

I think $DBS(D05.SI)$ will deliver a decent set of Q1 results, even if it’s not a blowout quarter. The bar has clearly been reset lower after the FY25 miss & with NIM compression already well flagged, lot of downside feels priced in. What matters is whether wealth management & trading income can provide some upside surprise, especially with safe-haven flows coming into Singapore. From a positioning standpoint, I don’t expect the stock to break out aggressively. Rate cuts & softer SORA will likely keep a lid on sentiment & I don’t think this is the kind of quarter that drives a sharp re-rating. That said, as long as guidance remains stable and management doesn’t sound overly cautious on macro risks, the market should react positi

Cathie Wood Dumps AMD for AMZN as Nvidia Hits $5 Trillion — Time to Buy the Dip or Bail? ARK Invest just dropped a bomb on AMD bulls, fully liquidating its position on Friday. By offloading over 215,000 shares—roughly $75 million—Cathie Wood’s fund acted as the immediate catalyst for AMD sliding nearly 4% down to the ~$334 level. But this isn't just about one fund trimming a position; it’s a glaring symptom of a massive shift in AI capital. With Nvidia simultaneously crossing a historic $5 trillion market cap and ARK rotating capital directly into Amazon (AMZN), the market is flashing a clear signal. Is AMD getting squeezed out of the AI hardware race, or is this the ultimate contrarian setup for a bounce? Let’s break down the mechanics behind the move and what it means for your portfolio.

Google at All-Time Highs: Will Earnings Fuel the Run to $400, or Trigger a Brutal Sell-the-News? Alphabet ($GOOG) just closed near a fresh all-time high of $348, riding massive momentum following the reveal of its 8th-generation TPU lineup (TPU 8t and 8i) at Google Cloud Next last week. The market is currently fully pricing in Google’s aggressive evolution from a search giant into an "Agentic AI" infrastructure powerhouse. But with the stock trading at record levels and expectations sky-high heading into the earnings print, the real question for active traders is whether this fundamental momentum can sustain a breakout toward $400, or if we are walking blindly into a classic sell-the-news trap. 1️⃣ Why the Market Reacted So Violently to TPU 8 The recent rally isn't just retail hype; it rep

$DBS Group Holdings Ltd.(DBSDF)$ $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ $SGX(S68.SI)$ $UOB(U11.SI)$ Pulse DBS just reported Q1 2026 net profit of S$2.89 billion—down 2% YoY on the surface, but here's the plot twist: this is a record pre-tax profit of S$3.44 billion being hammered by the global 15% minimum tax. While NIM compression to 1.93% is real (from 2.12% YoY), wealth management surged to record levels, safe-haven deposit inflows are flowing like never before, and treasury customer sales stayed healthy.

Why Is Japan’s 57% Occupancy Killing MPACT FY25/26 Dividends (MPACT FY25/26 Results Review) |🦖EP1578
Why Is Japan’s 57% Occupancy Killing MPACT FY25/26 Dividends (MPACT FY25/26 Results Review) |🦖EP1578 The market sees “safe” S$ dividends, but the math sees 36.5% gearing chained to half‑empty North Asia offices. When MPACT’s DPU slips while overseas valuations fall 9.2%, I do not see a cosy CPF/SRS sanctuary; I see a Singapore retail engine forced to drag a weak China/Japan portfolio uphill. My stance this round is simple: treat MPACT as a forensic Watchlist, not a blind retirement core. In a 5,000‑point STI era, the benchmark is no longer “any REIT yield above fixed deposit”. With the six‑month T‑Bill clustering around 1.37% and my Forensic Floor at 3.2%, you should demand at least a 4.7% spread that is actually defendable, not just printed on last year’s slide.

My stock in focus today is $NIO Inc.(NIO)$ $NIO Inc.(NIO.SI)$ $NIO-SW(09866)$ , after its Onvo L80 SUV pre-sales drove shares up about 8% in Hong Kong. Priced at 245,800 yuan — lower than the L90 and even cheaper under the BaaS model — the L80 highlights a more aggressive push into the mass market, signaling NIO’s intent to boost demand amid rising competition. Strategically, the L80 supports NIO’s shift toward volume growth through flexible offerings, including LiDAR and pure-vision variants. Combined with practical positioning around space and family use, this suggests NIO is prioritizing scalability over purely premium branding. The key test now is execu

$Mapletree PanAsia Com Tr(N2IU.SI)$ Mapletree PanAsia Com Tr - 4th quarter results is out! DPU is down 2.8 percent to 1.9 cents versus 1.95 cents last year.

Expand Your Strategy with HK Index Options
🚀 Why I Trade HK Index Options 🇭🇰📈 My Strategy • My Process • My Edge 💰🐯 Hong Kong index options have become one of the main instruments I trade because they offer flexibility, liquidity, leverage, and clear risk management. Instead of focusing on one single stock, I can trade the direction of the whole market through products such as the Hang Seng Index (HSI), Mini Hang Seng Index (MHI), Hang Seng Tech Index (HTI), and China Enterprises Index (HHI). This allows me to focus on macro trends, technical analysis, and market sentiment rather than worrying about company-specific news. One major reason I like HK index options is the extended trading hours. There is both a day session and a night session, which means I can react not only to Hong Kong market news, but also to moves in Europe and t

Breakdown of Visa(V US) latest earnings
Visa delivered a strong beat in its fiscal Q2 2026 earnings (ended March 31, 2026), reinforcing its position as a high-quality compounder in the global payments ecosystem. Net revenue rose 17% year-over-year to $11.2 billion, marking the strongest growth pace since 2022 (and the fastest organic growth in over a decade when adjusting for prior one-offs). Non-GAAP EPS climbed 20% to $3.31, comfortably beating consensus estimates of around $3.09–$3.10. GAAP net income reached $6.0 billion ($3.14 per share), aided by a lower year-ago litigation provision but still reflecting robust underlying performance Key Operating MetricsPayments volume: Grew 9% in constant dollars to approximately $3.7 trillion.

🌟🌟🌟Can DBS $DBS(D05.SI)$ close above SGD 60 tomorrow? It is a coin toss but I believe it will close at SGD 59.00 tomorrow. The market is bracing for a good but not great performance that reflects a stabilising but pressured banking environment. Analysts expect a net profit of around SGD 2.78 billion to SGD 2.88 billion, a slight YoY decline of 2 to 4%. Net Interest Margin or NIM is expected to slide by 3 to 22 basis points as interest rates globally begin to moderate. This means that DBS earns less on every loan. However the bright spot would be Wealth Management and treasury customer sales, potentially delivering mid teens growth

1) Closing price (Friday): SGD 51 DBS Bank has been resilient on strong NIM, wealth inflows, and capital return appeal. Unless guidance disappoints sharply, downside may be cushioned. 2) Q1 net profit beat estimate? Yes, slight beat is my lean. Higher fee income and treasury contribution could offset some margin compression concerns. Key watchpoint: forward guidance. A beat with softer outlook can still pressure shares. A beat + confident FY guidance could push DBS higher.
