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

Over SGD 400 million of retail buying has poured into Singapore REITs just this month… while institutional investors quietly offloaded nearly SGD 500 million. That’s not just a flow mismatch — that’s a full-on sentiment split. And it’s happening right as multiple S-REITs are punching through 52-week highs.

The Robotics Revolution: Betting on Bots with Serve’s Risky Delivery
The next mile is autonomous If there's one thing investors love more than AI, it's AI on wheels. Enter Serve Robotics, a pint-sized disruptor that's driving into the chaos of urban logistics with its autonomous delivery robots. While $Serve Robotics Inc.(SERV)$ isn’t exactly a household name—unless you live in a tech-forward neighbourhood lucky enough to see one of their charming bots trundling along the pavement—it’s quickly gaining attention from markets, institutions, and yes, even $NVIDIA(NVDA)$. But with a 354% stock rally over the past year and a rollercoaster 52-week range from $2.28 to $24.35, the real question is: can Serve Robotics deliver more than just tacos? Serve’s bots aren’t cute.

🚀 Big green open for Wall Street 🌿 — will the rally hold into the close? S&P futures ticked higher this morning as investors cheered a fresh wave of earnings beats and soft inflation chatter. With AI names bouncing, REITs recovering, and crypto turning heads again, it’s shaping up to be another action-packed session. Here’s what I’m eyeing 👇 📊 What’s Moving the Market? Cooling inflation remains the main tailwind. June’s CPI print came in at a 5-year low, giving bulls a reason to double down on rate-cut trades. Investors are also parsing through the latest bank earnings — JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley both impressed, but guidance remains cautious. In Asia, China’s GDP miss initially spooked markets, but chatter around new stimulus measures helped regional indexes recover. Meanwhile, oil p

Social feeds lit up as AI bulls rotated back into large-cap laggards. But here’s the real question: Is Alibaba finally waking up from its slump—or is this just another false start? 👀 📦 What’s Behind the Move The immediate spark came from Nvidia’s fresh AI announcements and a surge in enthusiasm for enterprise adoption across Asia. Chinese tech stocks rallied in sympathy, but Alibaba stood out with its +8% jump. Part of the optimism stems from Alibaba’s steady push into AI—via its Tongyi Qianwen model, deepening cloud-AI integrat
Tesla Earnings Preview: Should You Buy Before the Numbers — Or At All?
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Tesla Inc. is set to release its second-quarter earnings after the market closes on July 23, 2025, and investors are grappling with a familiar question: Is now the right time to buy Tesla stock — before earnings, after earnings, or perhaps not at all? This quarter’s results come at a critical juncture for the electric vehicle (EV) pioneer, which is navigating slowing demand, competitive headwinds, and strategic pivots toward autonomy, energy storage, and artificial intelligence. Over the past year, Tesla’s narrative has shifted from relentless growth to painful contraction, forcing investors to reassess what they’re really buying: a car company, a technology leader, or a dream of a self-driving future. In this article, we’ll e
