$č°·ę(GOOG)$ This quarter wasnāt about the beat. AI is turning single searches into longer, decision-driven conversations. Thatās whatās changing: the value of each search.
Is LMS Compliance (SGX: LMS) the Hidden Gem of SGX?
$LMS Compliance(LMS.SI)$ Latest institutional research highlights LMS Compliance (LMS.SI) as a high-value growth play. Key takeaways: Sticky Revenue: 85%+ recurring income with strong cash flow. ESG Catalyst: Primary beneficiary of mandatory ESG reporting in SG & MY starting 2025. Digital Edge: AI-driven platform creating a massive operational moat. @LMS SGX
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ This quarter wasnāt about macro tailwinds. Ad volume and pricing both improved, but the real change is AI lifting engagement, conversion, and ad products at the same time. This isnāt an ad rebound. Itās an ad engine upgrade.
$微软(MSFT)$ This wasnāt a āone-quarter surpriseā story. Azure and Copilot demand stayed strong, supply is the real constraint. The target price was trimmed for one reason: AI capex is higher than expected. But the conclusion didnāt change ā more spending doesnāt mean weaker business, it means AI is moving deeper into the core.
This could be one of the most undervalued stocks in SG this half year
$LMS Compliance(LMS.SI)$ The base case is simple: compliance demand is mandatory, not cyclical. What stands out in this initiation note: Testing is the base: high repeat business (85%+), lab testing dominates revenue (FY24: 93.6%) ESG is the growth layer: Singaporeās mandatory climate disclosures (from FY2025) and Malaysiaās phased rollout expand third-party assurance demand Financials are clean: FY24 net margin 20.5%, EBITDA ma
Gold & Silver Are Soaring ā New Bull or Foolās Rally? šš¤ Precious metals have been on a tear lately. Gold hit a multi-year high and silver isnāt far behind. Some folks are calling this the start of a shiny new bull marketš«, while others warn itās just a flash in the pan. As an investor, itās that classic FOMO vs. caution dilemma: jump on the bandwagon or wait and see? One minute Iām ready to pile in, the next I remember how many times Iāve been burned chasing hype š . Itās exciting but also nerve-wracking ā nobody wants to be left holding foolās gold if things turn south.
The quarter itself was clean. Growth, margins and cash flow stayed on track. The real variable now is the WBD acquisition ā not growth, but whether the deal reshapes the structure.$å„é£(NFLX)$
Tencent is fixing the base, not chasing a new story
$č ¾č®Æę§č”(00700)$ $č ¾č®Æę§č”ADR(TCEHY)$ This earnings preview isnāt about valuation. Games and ads keep the base steady. AI shows up mainly as efficiency inside WeChat and ads. No sudden catalyst ā just gradual margin work.
Zhipu AI just IPOād, and compute is still the bottleneck
$ęŗč°±(02513)$ Zhipu AI has just gone public. Discussion focuses on models and tech. At this stage, the picture is pretty clear: revenue is growing, usage is expanding, but compute costs remain heavy.
$å°é¹ę±½č½¦-W(09868)$ $å°é¹ę±½č½¦(XPEV)$ XPeng securing L3 road-testing approval, crossing a 20% gross margin, and doubling annual volume all point to one thing ā technology is starting to translate into scale.
$é¦ęøÆäŗ¤ęę(00388)$ HKEX earnings move with turnover, and market liquidity in Hong Kong has clearly shifted into a higher range. IPO activity is back, southbound flows are strong, and derivatives volumes remain supportive. The real question isnāt what drove 2025 ā itās how long this high-liquidity regime can last.
$泔泔ēē¹(09992)$ Overseas revenue is scaling faster than domestic, margins are higher, and IPs are being replicated across regions and channels. @Tiger_SG
$MINIMAX-WP(00100)$ MiniMax has just gone public, but this research note isnāt about the IPO hype. What stands out is an AI company that already runs a dual-engine model: consumer apps for scale and data, enterprise services for margins ā with most users coming from overseas. The report looks past the listing event and asks a more practical question: how an AI company turns global usage into sustainable revenue after going public.
$éæéå·“å·“-W(09988)$ $éæéå·“å·“(BABA)$ This research note focuses on Alibabaās latest AI progress, but the real story sits underneath. As Qwen moves from a standalone model into Alibabaās cloud, maps, and core apps, AI is starting to translate into actual workload demand. The report is less about short-term numbers, and more about whether AI can structurally lift cloud margins over time.
This PANW report is about more than a quarterly beat
$Palo Alto Networks(PANW)$ This note is based on Palo Alto Networksā FY25 results, which came in ahead of expectations. But the more interesting part of the report isnāt the headline numbers. Alongside solid subscription growth and stronger RPO visibility, PANW announced the acquisition of Chronosphere ā a move that extends the platform beyond security into observability, especially for cloud-native and AI workloads. The report frames this less as a financial event and more as a strategic one: whether security platforms can move closer to the core of enterprise infrastructure as IT complexity continues to rise.
A Chinese restaurant group is changing how it expands overseas
$ä¹ęÆä¹(09922)$ Jiumaojiu is best known in China for its popular dining brands, but its latest move is less about opening more stores and more about how to go global. Instead of exporting a China-grown concept directly, the company is increasing its stake in a North Americaābased hot pot chain that already resonates with local diners. The interesting part isnāt the size of the deal, but the strategy behind it: using localized brands as a bridge for overseas expansion. This report is really about one question ā whatās the most workable way for Chinese restaurant groups to grow abroad?
$äŗęµ(ATAT)$ Estimated reading time: 30ā45 seconds Atour is best known in China as a mid-to-high-end hotel operator, but the more interesting shift is happening beyond hotel expansion. Recent financial results and research show that hotels are increasingly serving as customer and membership entry points, while branded retail ā led by sleep-related products ā is becoming a key driver of monetization per guest.
