Apple Tops SG Best Employers Again! How Do You Feel About These Stars?
The 2025 list of Singapore’s Best Employers is out, and once again, Apple takes the top spot. After overtaking Google in 2024, it has managed to hold its lead for a second year — no small feat in such a competitive landscape. In contrast, Google, which led the list in 2023 with an impressive score of 9.13, has slipped down to 8th place. What’s particularly interesting is how local companies are making strong moves. The usual banking giants — DBS, OCBC, and UOB — continue to be pillars of consistency, but other names stood out this year. Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Koufu Group made impressive progress this year. It's great to see a broader mix of industries being recognised for treating their employees well. These rankings are based on extensive surveys from employees, which makes them wor
Sea Core Businesses on Fire: Hold Tight Till $200?
Sea Ltd (NYSE: SE) jumped after reporting a surprising net income of $410.8 million for Q1—marking a sharp reversal from a year-earlier loss. With the stock closing at $164.63 yesterday and trading above its 52-week high in pre-market hours today, investors are naturally asking: is this the start of a new growth era—or a short-lived spark? A Closer Look at the Numbers This profitable quarter is a huge milestone for Sea, especially considering the competitive heat in Southeast Asia. The company appears to be gaining ground against formidable rivals like TikTok (Douyin) and Lazada, especially in its e-commerce and digital entertainment segments. Still, one profitable quarter does not a trend make. Investors need to examine whether Sea’s newfound profitability is sustainable, or simply the re
Super Micro Computer Inc. (SMCI) is back in the spotlight, jumping 15% in premarket trading on Wednesday after announcing a $20 billion multi-year deal with Saudi-based data center firm DataVolt. Under the agreement, SMCI will supply high-density GPU platforms and liquid cooling systems to power massive AI campuses in Saudi Arabia and the U.S. This aligns with Saudi Arabia’s broader push into AI, backed by an aggressive digital infrastructure strategy. For SMCI, the deal boosts its status as a critical player in the global AI hardware race—especially in building scalable computing systems for hyperscale deployments. The scale of the deal is impressive—but the financial specifics are still vague. The $20 billion is spread over multiple years. We don’t yet know how how revenues will be recog
UNH Hit Again by Medical Fraud Probe: When to Buy the Dip?
UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) has taken another sharp blow this week, shaking investor confidence once more. The healthcare giant saw its stock tumble 10.93% yesterday to close at $274.35 following reports that it is under criminal investigation for alleged Medicare fraud. The news was compounded by the sudden resignation of CEO Andrew Witty on Tuesday and the company's decision to withdraw its already-reduced full-year earnings guidance. This development caps off what’s been a catastrophic second quarter for the healthcare and biotech sector more broadly. President Donald Trump's new drug pricing executive order is the latest headwind brewing in biotech's cataclysmic Q2—an initiative that could threaten profit margins across the pharmaceutical and insurance industries.

Inverse ETFs: A Risky Bet When the Market Goes Bullish
As I scrolled through my watchlist on Tiger Brokers, I noticed an interesting pattern: I’ve arranged the stocks from the largest percentage declines to the biggest gains, so the ones at the top reflect the steepest drops. Yesterday, with the US stock market being bullish, I realized something striking: the stocks sitting at the top of my list were inverse ETFs. A Look at SOXS: The Semiconductors Bear 3X ETF At the very top of my list was SOXS, the Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3X Shares ETF. For those unfamiliar, inverse ETFs like SOXS are designed to move in the opposite direction of a specific index or sector, and the “3X” means it provides three times the inverse exposure. So, when the semiconductor sector goes up, SOXS is meant to go down at three times the rate. Yesterday, SOXS d
