$AEM SGD(AWX.SI)$ surged +17.84% to S$9.84 today after reporting Q1 FY2026 net profit of S$14.347M, confirming a semiconductor equipment cycle recovery. Meanwhile $NTT DC REIT USD(NTDU.SI)$ — SGX's first pure-play data centre REIT — sits at S$1.02, barely off its July 2025 IPO price after releasing full-year results this week. Both companies are direct plays on AI infrastructure buildout. One ran 18%. The other didn't move. That gap is worth unpacking. AEM: From Intel Dependency to AI Chip Testing AEM builds semiconductor test handlers — precision equipment that validates chips before they ship. The company was badly hit in 2024 when Intel slashed capex, cratering AEM's order book. Q1 FY2026 net prof

1. New to Options? Start with the Learning Guide For investors who are new to options, one of the most important things to understand is how an option’s price may change under different expected market movements. To make this easier, we have prepared a beginner-friendly learning guide to help you better understand how options work in different scenarios. For example, let’s say we are bullish on TSLA and expect the stock price to rise sharply. In this case, a commonly used strategy would be to buy call options. Assume today is 1 February, and we expect Tesla’s share price to rise from the current US$422 to US$443 by 18 February. Looking at the call options expiring on 6 March, we can see that not every call option would generate a profit under this expected scenario. For example, the call o

We often hear from Tigers who say: “I want to see unusual options activity. I want to know what the smart money is doing. Is there anything I can refer to?” Good news — Unusual Options Activity is now available. 1. What counts as unusual options activity? Unusual options activity usually refers to a particularly large options trade, where the single-trade volume and notional value are significantly higher than usual. In simple terms, it suggests that someone may be placing a sizeable bet on a particular option contract. This type of activity may be more meaningful when it appears ahead of key market events, such as earnings releases, company meetings, or clinical trial results for pharmaceutical and biotech companies. 2. How can investors analyse and use it? Let’s take META’s options activ

Explanation of Option Analysis Indicators As a derivative financial instrument, the price of an option is affected by multiple factors, with volatility and market sentiment being core elements. Option analysis indicators help investors assess risks, predict price trends, and formulate strategies. This article introduces several key indicators: 30-day Implied Volatility (IV), IV Percentile, IV Rank, Historical Volatility (HV), Call/Put Ratio (C/P Ratio), and Volatility Curve. These indicators provide decision-making basis by quantifying market expectations and historical data. How to Analyze First, the 30-day IV refers to the expected volatility of the underlying asset in the next 30 days, calculated based on option prices. It reflects the market's expectation of uncertainty; high IV means

$SIA(C6L.SI)$ at S$6.30 (+0.64%) today. Full-year results drop Thursday, May 14. The setup is unusually clean: the same Middle East conflict that's driving safe-haven wealth flows into Singapore is also pushing Brent crude above US$120/barrel — SIA's biggest cost and biggest tailwind are both being powered by the same geopolitical event, in opposite directions. Keypoints to watch for earnings 1. Fuel: 29% of costs, and oil just gained another 20% Fuel represents approximately 29% of SIA's total expenditure — the largest single cost line. The conversation in early April was about US$100 oil threatening aviation recovery. By late April, $Brent Last Day Financial - main 2607(BZmain)$ hit US$120+, the h

All three beat Bloomberg consensus but also posted NII declines as SORA averaged just 1.07% in Q1 (vs 2.54% a year ago). The dividing line wasn't credit quality or margins — it was wealth management execution. And on that measure, the gap between the three is wider than the headlines suggest. 📊 Q1 2026 Scorecard for $DBS(D05.SI)$, $UOB(U11.SI)$ and. $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ DBS — Deposit surge + wealth machine, guidance upgraded.

The results for Singapore's first COE bidding round in May are out: Category A (Small/Mid-sized) hit S$124,790, and Category B (Large/Luxury) reached S$126,236. This marks five consecutive increases, with the COE price now easily exceeding the cost of a mid-range car itself. 🚗 What is the COE? The Certificate of Entitlement (COE) is a "quota license" required to drive on Singapore's roads. The total supply is controlled by the government, and licenses are auctioned every two weeks. For Category A, there were only 1,265 quotas available, but 2,410 bids were placed—a nearly 90% oversubscription that drove prices straight to S$125k. This piece of paper is valid for 10 years, after which its value drops to zero unless you renew or re-bid. Total Cost of Ownership: A Toyota Corolla Altis (approx

After Monday’s close, Amazon announced it will invest up to an additional $25 billion into Anthropic, while Anthropic simultaneously committed to spending $100 billion on AWS over the next decade. $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ rose more than 2.4% pre-market to $254. With earnings season approaching (April 29), one core question is now on the table: This time, will Amazon become the next “Google-style re-rating”? Over the past two weeks, Amazon has rebounded strongly by 18%, turning its year-to-date performance positive at +7.5%, completely shaking off its label as “one of the worst-performing Mag 7 stocks” at the start of the year. Now, the weakest names are Microsoft and Tesla — Amazon is no longer on that list. 1. What does Anthropic mega deal really mean
