WPP Sends Another Warning: Profits Hit Again as Economy Falters
$WPP PLC(WPP)$ WPP plc (LON: WPP), the world’s largest advertising agency by revenue, issued its second profit warning of the year this week, cutting its full-year outlook once more and rattling investors already concerned about the deteriorating macroeconomic picture. The company cited a confluence of headwinds — a weakening global economy, tariff-driven trade uncertainty, continued client churn, and the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence on traditional advertising models — as the key reasons for its downward revision. The stark warning underscores how vulnerable even the largest industry players have become in an environment of tepid growth, shifting client budgets, and disruptive technologies. WPP’s shares tumbled nearly 8% on the ne
AMD on the Rise: Can It Close the Gap With Nvidia — and Should You Buy?
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ For investors who missed out on Nvidia’s meteoric rally over the past two years, the question now looming large is whether Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) still offers a viable second chance to ride the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. Nvidia’s shares have more than tripled since early 2023, fueled by an insatiable global appetite for AI chips and data center GPUs. Meanwhile, AMD has also benefited from the AI boom — albeit to a lesser extent — leaving it in Nvidia’s considerable shadow. But with AMD rolling out its own AI-focused hardware and promising roadmaps, many investors are asking: Is it too late for AMD to catch up? And does the stock still offer a compelling opportunity at today’s prices? This article ex

Will Netflix Pair Earnings Growth With a Stock Split Surprise?
$Netflix(NFLX)$ When Netflix Inc. reports its latest quarterly earnings later this week, investors will scrutinize more than just subscriber additions and revenue growth. After a remarkable rally that pushed its stock price above $700 earlier this year — and a steady climb since — speculation has grown that Netflix management could announce a stock split alongside earnings results. The streaming giant last split its stock nearly a decade ago, when it executed a 7-for-1 split in July 2015 as the share price crossed $700. Now, with its stock having regained that lofty level after years of volatility, some investors are asking: Is Netflix ready for another split? And more importantly, do its fundamentals justify continued optimism? This article exami

From a structural standpoint, the current price behaviour isn’t weakness, it’s sequencing.

I find it interesting to see AMD $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ stock jumping 6% as it restarts M1308 sales to China following a US review. This move suggests a positive shift for AMD, and it makes me consider it as a potential investment opportunity, especially for those like me who might have missed out on Nvidia's earlier growth. The news about AMD's progress in the chip market is encouraging, and I am intrigued by how this could position the company moving forward. I am also impressed by Broadcom's $Broadcom(AVGO)$ recent achievement, with its stock reaching a new high thanks to the launch of the Tomahawk Ultra chip. T
S-REITs Soar to 52-Week Highs: Dividend Goldmine or Risky Bet?
Singapore’s REIT market is on fire, with top performers like Frasers Hospitality Trust, CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust, and First REIT hitting 52-week highs in H1 2025. Retail investors poured SGD 400 million into S-REITs as of June 26, 2025, drawn by juicy dividend yields, while institutions sold off SGD 500 million, wary of high valuations and interest rate risks. With the iEdge S-REIT Leaders Index up 11.7% since April, the question looms: Are these high-flying S-REITs dividend kings poised for more gains in H2 2025, or are they value traps waiting to trip investors? This report dives into their performance, growth prospects, investor dynamics, and strategic investment approaches to capitalize on this rally while managing risks.

$ASML Holding NV(ASML)$$Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ The semiconductor sector is at a crossroads as ASML’s Q2 2025 earnings, reported on July 16, 2025, delivered a solid beat but a cautious 2026 outlook, sending its stock tumbling 7%. Meanwhile, TSMC’s Q2 earnings, due July 17, 2025, are poised to capitalize on a 39% year-over-year sales surge, fueled by the AI chip boom. With TSMC expected to post a 60% EPS increase and a $114 billion full-year revenue forecast, investors are buzzing: Can TSMC deliver a blockbuster beat and stronger guidance to lift the sector, or will ASML’s caution signal broader headwinds?

Meta Bulls Pour Millions Onto Options Amid Superintelligence Buildout $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ bulls are pouring millions onto call options after analysts increased its earnings forecast for the stock, citing the social media giant's AI-enabled ad tools, improving ad revenue and macroeconomic recovery.

Rare Earths Rocket: MP Materials Surges 20% on Apple’s $500M Bet—Power & Energy or Rare Earths for the Win?
The rare earths sector is electrified as MP Materials (MP) stock soared 20% to ~$60 after Apple (AAPL) announced a $500 million investment to secure U.S.-made rare earth magnets, a critical move to bolster domestic supply chains. Meanwhile, President Trump’s $70 billion investment in AI and energy sectors, unveiled on July 15, 2025, has ignited power and energy stocks like OKLO and SMR, which jumped 11%. With the U.S. pushing for technological and energy independence, investors are torn: Are rare earths like MP Materials the high-octane trade, or do power and energy stocks offer a safer bet? This report dives into MP’s rally, Trump’s bold plan, and whether rare earths or power and energy will lead the charge in this dynamic market.

Netflix’s Q2 Showdown: Blockbuster Earnings or Stock Split Surprise?
Netflix ( $Netflix(NFLX)$ ) is stealing the spotlight as it prepares to unveil its Q2 2025 earnings on July 17, 2025, with investors eyeing both its financial performance and whispers of a potential stock split. The streaming giant’s stock has soared 40% year-to-date to $1,275, nearly doubling over the past 12 months, driven by price hikes, ad-tier growth, and a robust content slate. With consensus estimates projecting $11 billion in revenue and $7.06 EPS, the stakes are high. Can Netflix deliver a blockbuster beat, or will its history of uneven Q2 results and lofty valuation trigger a pullback? And with shares trading near all-time highs, is a stock split on the horizon to lure retail investors? This report dives into Netflix’s earnings outlook,
I believe CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust and Keppel DC REIT still have growth potential in the second half of 2025. CICT benefits from strong retail and office recovery with key assets like ION Orchard, while Keppel DC REIT rides on digitalisation trends, supported by stable long-term leases in the data centre space. Despite institutional selling, I side with retail investors who have been steadily buying. The steady inflows reflect confidence in S-REITs' resilience and dividend yields. It is also telling that some REITs, like CICT and Parkway Life, attracted net institutional inflows, hinting at selective institutional support. S-REITs may not match equities in growth, but their stability and income appeal are strong. I allocate about 20 to 25 percent of my portfolio to REITs for
I believe AMD and Broadcom still have room to run, even as Nvidia leads the rally. AMD's recent surge, upcoming AI event, and stock buyback show renewed investor confidence. With a potential Golden Cross forming, the momentum is strong. While it still trails Nvidia in some areas, AMD is gaining ground as AI demand expands beyond just GPUs. Broadcom’s launch of the Tomahawk Ultra is a bold move, offering an Ethernet-based alternative to Nvidia’s NVLink. With the ability to connect more processors, Broadcom is well-positioned to benefit from the rising demand for AI infrastructure. It is showing that it can compete by focusing on system-level innovation. Although I respect Nvidia’s dominance, I prefer not to invest only in the top name. Spreading investments across key players like AMD and
META Retests All-Time High with Bearish Divergence – What Traders Should Watch
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ Weekly Chart- Bearish Divergence Forming META is approaching a resistance zone near previous highs. However, RSI shows bearish divergence – while price retests highs, RSI forms lower highs. This suggests slowing momentum, and traders should watch for potential pullback or consolidation. Bearish Scenario: If META breaks below the immediate support at 708, it may trigger short-term downside pressure. Daily Short DLCs (e.g. $META 3xShortSG261006(USFW.SI)$ ) will benefit from price trading lower. Bullish Scenario: If META breaks above its all-time high (~$730–$740) with strong volume, it may resume its uptrend. Daily Long DLCs (e.g. $ME
