🌟🌟🌟 $Marvell Technology(MRVL)$ entered this latest earnings results up nearly 160% year todate. It is priced to perfection. Short sellers are treating this like a cyclical software fad. However AI capital expenditure from hyperscalers have not slowed down. Alphabet, Amazon & Microsoft are keen to escape Nvidia's premium GPU prices. They need custom ASICs to optimise their data centers at a lower cost. Marvell is the undisputed king of this custom silicon transition. Marvell's management also said that their custom chip business is expected to double next year. You do not double your core growth engine in a cooling market. So a great strategy is to dollar cost average $Marve
Hawkish Pivot at Jackson Hole: Navigating the 60% September Rate Hike Odds Across Q3 2026
Kevin Warsh’s inaugural appearance at the Jackson Hole symposium delivered a surprisingly hawkish stance, elevating September 2026 rate hike odds to 60% and reshaping market expectations for Q3 2026. Prior consensus favored an extended monetary pause; however, Warsh highlighted sticky core inflation and labor market tightness, warning against premature policy easing. This policy pivot induces equity valuation contraction, particularly in hyper-growth and long-duration tech sectors. Simultaneously, a sharp sector rotation is underway, favoring cash-generative value sectors (Energy, Financials, Short-Duration Value) over rate-sensitive growth assets. Fixed income and currency markets face heightened volatility: short-term Treasury yields have surged, driving a bear-flattening yield curve, wh

Navigating Singapore’s Data Center REITs: AI Growth vs. Macro Headwinds
The generative AI boom, persistent cloud adoption, and tight supply constraints in core Asia-Pacific hubs continue to fuel the data center sector. Singapore's S-REIT market provides unique exposure to this digital real estate expansion—ranging from pure-play operators to diversified industrial giants. However, navigating the space requires looking past headline yields. High-density GPU workloads, grid power constraints, variable cost of debt, and geographical concentration create distinct risk profiles across individual counters. 1. Keppel DC REIT (SGX: AJBU) — The Blue-Chip Pure Play $Keppel DC Reit(AJBU.SI)$ Keppel DC REIT remains the marquee pure-play option for regional investors seeking targeted exposure. Tailwinds: Superior Balance Sheet
My pick is CRWD. The refining rally is backed by genuine fundamentals: Middle East disruptions, tight product supply and elevated crack spreads are driving exceptional earnings for MPC, VLO, PSX and DINO. However, refining remains cyclical, and margins can normalize quickly if geopolitical risks ease or global supply improves. CRWD has a more durable secular tailwind. AI agents are expanding the cybersecurity attack surface, creating entirely new workloads that require identity, endpoint, cloud and data protection. Strong ARR growth also suggests enterprises are still consolidating security spending onto broader platforms. The valuation is demanding, so I wouldn’t chase blindly. But compared with potentially peak-cycle refining margins, I prefer CRWD’s structural growth runway. For the ne
Why Affirm’s Record Quarter Still Failed the Price-Action Test
$Affirm Holdings, Inc.(AFRM)$ reported its strongest operating quarter yet, but the stock could not hold the post-earnings enthusiasm. That divergence does not prove the business is weakening. It does show that investors are no longer rewarding buy-now-pay-later volume growth without testing funding costs, credit discipline and the quality of reported profit. Affirm released results on August 27 for its fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30. Gross merchandise volume increased 36% to $14.1 billion, revenue rose 33% to $1.166 billion and active consumers increased 21% to 27.8 million. Transactions per active consumer reached 7.0, up 20%, while Affirm Card GMV more than doubled to $2.84 billion. These figures show that the network is expanding through
Why Hims & Hers’ Australian Launch Cannot Hide a 12-Point Margin Decline
$Hims & Hers Health Inc.(HIMS)$ entered Australia on August 31 by converting Eucalyptus’s Pilot men’s-health platform to the Hims brand. The launch expands the addressable market and reduces dependence on US regulation, but international growth is arriving while consolidated margins and cash flow are moving in the wrong direction. The Australian offering initially covers sexual health, weight loss and hair loss, with access to branded GLP-1 medicines where clinically appropriate. Management says the expansion supports a path to $1 billion of international annual revenue within three years. The event happened and was announced on August 31; it followed the closing of the Eucalyptus acquisition in June. Hims & Hers’ official Australian annou
Why Lululemon’s September 3 Report Is a Product Test
$Lululemon Athletica(LULU)$’s shares already trade at a dramatically lower multiple than during the brand’s growth era. That alone does not create a turnaround. The September 3 earnings report must show that North American customers are responding to fresher products and that management can stabilise gross margin before incoming CEO Heidi O’Neill starts on September 8. The company’s latest reported quarter ended May 3 and was released June 4. Revenue increased 4% to $2.47 billion, but constant-currency growth was only 2%. Americas revenue fell 3% and comparable sales declined 5%; international revenue increased 22%, including 30% growth in mainland China. The regional divergence shows that Lululemon still possesses global brand equity, but its lar
The used-car dealer that wants a technology valuation I have watched plenty of supposedly disruptive companies discover that selling something online does not magically turn an asset-heavy business into software. Carvana is now testing that rule to destruction. The market has taken notice. At the end of August, $Carvana Co.(CVNA)$ carried an $81.85 billion market capitalisation, with the shares at $73.46. Yet Wall Street remains remarkably divided over what investors are actually buying, with sell-side targets reportedly spanning a wide range. Some see a technology-enabled used-car platform whose unit economics have undergone a structural transformation. Others see a highly cyclical auto retailer whose impressive profitability remains unusually de
Look Back, Trade Forward: The August Post Mortem & Your Survival Guide for September
🌟🌟🌟Let's take a deep breath and wipe the sweat from our foreheads. We have officially survived August 2026. It was a month that felt less like a civilised financial period and more like a high stakes psychological thriller directed by a manic depressive algorithm. From Jackson Hole twists to geopolitical energy wars, the market spent the last 31 days throwing tantrums. As we step into September, historically the most brutal calendar month for the stock market, it is time to review our August battlefield wounds and engineer a bulletproof playbook using specialised ETFs to build a resilient portfolio. The August Trading Review: What Happened? August was the month where Wall Street decided to completely tear up the old playbook and rewrite the rules of gravity. The Kevin War
Why Dell’s AI-Server Scale Still Needs Margin Proof
$Dell Technologies Inc.(DELL)$ reports fiscal-second-quarter results after the September 1 close with an unusually demanding setup. Revenue is expected to be nearly 50% higher than a year earlier because AI-server shipments have expanded rapidly, but scale alone does not determine whether Dell deserves to trade like an AI platform rather than a hardware assembler. The central question is whether Infrastructure Solutions Group margin can improve as the product mix shifts toward expensive $NVIDIA(NVDA)$-based systems. Dell’s latest completed quarter ended May 1 and was reported May 28. Revenue increased 88% year over year to a record $43.84 billion, operating income rose 214% to $3.66 billion and adjusted f
My view: the memory supercycle still has room to run, but the easy money is probably behind us. The key is separating DRAM from NAND. DRAM remains structurally tight because AI accelerators and HBM are consuming enormous wafer capacity, while new fabs take years to build and ramp. NAND, however, faces a clearer risk of supply catching up with demand in 2027. That makes me more comfortable with MU and SK hynix than pure NAND exposure. SK hynix’s ₩40T buyback is a strong signal that management remains confident in future cash generation, but buybacks are not a guaranteed price floor. At ~85% gross margins, expectations are already extremely high. I would watch DRAM contract prices, HBM demand, hyperscaler capex and gross margins rather than stock charts. If DRAM prices roll over while AI ca
$SNAP Recovers as Meta Settlement Fears Lose Their Grip
$Snap Inc(SNAP)$ $Snap Inc (SNAP) +2.21% Bounce Off $5.43 Low: Social Media Legal Overhang Eases, $5.89 Reclaim in Sight Latest Close Data: SNAP closed at $5.55 (+2.21%) on 2026-09-01, rebounding from intraday low $5.43. Price sits ~40.2% below 52-week high of $9.28, and just above yesterday's close of $5.43. Volume reached 42.44M shares with turnover rate 2.51%. Core Market Drivers: Meta's $16.68B youth addiction settlement initially spooked social media peers, but sector sentiment is repairing as legal risk gets priced. SNAP's Q2 revenue +19% YoY to $1.6B and adjusted EBITDA beat continue to anchor fundamentals. Tencent remains top shareholder at 14.37%.
