Iggy's Journal: SATS Revenue Rose 9% but Operating Profit Fell 7.6%. What Lifted Profit to Shareholders?
Iggy's Journal: SATS Revenue Rose 9% but Operating Profit Fell 7.6%. What Lifted Profit to Shareholders? Thu 12 Nov 2026 | Midday The Numbers SATS grew revenue by 9%, but EBIT fell 7.6% because costs before depreciation rose 11.7%. Profit to shareholders still increased. Gateway's operating profit fell 11.1% even as its revenue rose 10%. Half-year operating cash flow before lease payments fell from S$356.8 million to S$265 million. The first-half EBITDA and EBIT margins were 17.4% and 8.2%, against 2029 targets of above 20% and above 10%. My Personal Take The line that rose is not always the line that did the work. If revenue rose 9% and operating profit fell 7.6%, what lifted profit to shareholders? That is the question I started with, and it leaves me with one more. Is the growth coming
I lean closest to @nerdbull1669’s framework—right now, rates and valuation discipline matter more than single-session price momentum. Monday’s 3.54% surge in QQQ looks encouraging on the surface, especially with AMD jumping on tangible cloud news while NVDA pulled back. That rotation shows capital isn't blindly chasing the entire sector anymore; it’s becoming selective. However, after a hot October payrolls print (165k vs. 59k expected), the 10-year Treasury yield has already begun repricing fewer rate cuts. When yields climb, multiples on 30x forward-earnings tech names face mathematical gravity regardless of AI optimism. My base case isn’t an immediate crash, nor an unbridled breakout—it’s wider, choppy range-bound trading as the market digests whether disinflation is genuinely stalling
Navigate October 2026 Inflation Shock: Cross-Market Realities and Long-Term Strategic Positioning
A hotter-than-expected October 2026 U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report and hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve officials have triggered a broad cross-market sell-off. But we have also see market staging a rally (though it might not be sustainable). In this article, we would like to share our comprehensive analysis which evaluates the underlying drivers of the sell-off, maps systemic cross-market ramifications, constructs a disciplined strategic positioning framework, and outlines tailored execution paths for aggressive long-term investors with 5 to 10-year horizons. 1. Introduction: The October 2026 Inflection Point Global financial markets entered the final quarter of 2026 riding a wave of resilient economic optimism, anchored by expectations of steady disinflation and an accommodati
🚨 Nvidia Crisis: Could Jensen Huang Be Forced Out? Is the AI Infrastructure Trade About to Change?
Hi Tigers! 🐯 $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ may be facing one of its most sensitive leadership controversies in recent years. ⚠️ On November 11, Reuters, citing a report from The Wall Street Journal, reported that NVIDIA's board was preparing to discuss whether to remove CEO Jensen Huang. The news quickly sent shockwaves through the market. Could Jensen Huang, who led NVIDIA's transformation into a global AI chip powerhouse, really leave the company? And if its leadership changes, how much could that affect NVIDIA's future strategy? 🤔 📉 $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Stock Performance: During regular trading on November 11, NVIDIA (NVDA) rose 2.87%, closing at $173.73. However, after reports of a potenti
Earnings support the rebound, but risks have not disappeared The $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ rose 2.31 per cent on Wednesday and the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ gained 1.31 per cent. CoreWeave's post-earnings strength and the recovery in memory and optical-communications shares revived discussion of how much revenue AI expansion can generate. Reports about Nvidia's leadership after the close, however, renewed concerns about whether the rebound could last. The previous day's inflation pressure did not disappear as share prices rose. Strong demand, timely project delivery and the profit absorbed by financing costs remain separate questions for AI companies. Today's earnings will provide more o
Why Singapore Banks Just Lit Up The Charts & Why It Is Time To Buy Back In
🌟🌟🌟Singapore banks ticked higher on Tuesday 10 November, staging a powerful recovery with all 3 banks closing higher. While the latest US hot inflation print sent a shudder through the US markets overnight, it has handed a fundamental gift to Singapore's financial sector. What Is Actually Fueling The Fire? This sector wide surge isn't just short term volatility. The sudden upward momentum is driven by a unique mix of global macro shifts and crucial domestic catalysts: The Higher For Longer Interest Rate Lifeline: In the stock market, sticky inflation is usually treated as a villain. However for commercial banks, it is an absolute tailwind. Markets are now aggressively pricing a prolonged rate environment from the US Federal Reserve, with some governors even floating a 50
Nvidia’s Leadership Crisis: Could AMD, Broadcom and Google Take a Bigger Share of the AI Market?
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ leadership uncertainty is creating an unexpected opportunity for its competitors. While Nvidia shares fell sharply in after-hours trading following reports about a possible leadership change involving Jensen Huang, several rival technology companies moved higher. $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ and $Broadcom(AVGO)$ each gained more than 3% after hours, while $Alphabet(GOOG)$ also edged higher. Investors appear to be considering whether Nvidia’s current situation could accelerate the search for alternative AI chip suppliers. But does this create a genuine opportunity for competitors
🚨Will Cybertruck's Extended Production Affect MUSK's $1 Trillion Pay Package?
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ is reportedly extending Cybertruck production until late summer 2027. But could this decision put Elon Musk's historic compensation package at risk? Tesla's decision to extend Cybertruck production until late summer 2027 raises a bigger question for investors: Is Elon Musk prioritizing a struggling vehicle program at the expense of Tesla's AI and autonomous driving ambitions? The short answer: Limited direct impact, but potentially significant strategic implications. Musk's compensation package is tied to Tesla's market capitalization and major operational milestones, rather than the success or failure of any individual vehicle. Three factors matter most: Vehicle Deliveries: Cybertruck contributes to Tesla's overall delivery v
CRWV Surges 24.7%: Can Its Earnings Ease AI Financing Fears?
1️⃣ The Market's Question: The Rebound Is Here. Where Will Expansion Funding Come From? At the November 11 regular-session close, CRWV rose 24.7%, NBIS gained 15.4%, and the Nasdaq advanced 1.60%. CRWV's latest earnings gave investors fresh evidence that AI compute demand is translating into business: third-quarter revenue grew 168% year over year, and management raised its full-year revenue and adjusted operating income guidance. [1][2] But a stock rebound does not answer the central question raised by the earlier credit concerns: If financing conditions tighten further, can AI cloud companies pay their interest, complete their buildouts, fulfill customer contracts, and still leave enough profit for shareholders? These results need to pass three tests: whether demand has become revenue, w
Inflation expectations fell to 2.20% on CPI day, even as the 10-year yield rose
Bond yields jumped on CPI day, yet inflation expectations slipped to 2.20%. That's the lowest since 28 July. Here's what caught my eye. The US 10-year Treasury yield rose 0.10 percentage points to 4.98% on 10 Nov. Split it in two. The real yield, the part left after inflation, rose 0.12 to 2.78%. Breakeven inflation, the gap between the two, dipped 0.02. So the whole move was real yield. The market didn't price more inflation after the print. It priced money staying expensive for longer. To me that reads as higher-for-longer, not an inflation scare. My view, not a forecast. The real yield hasn't been this high since 19 October. Breakeven inflation peaked at 2.50% on 4 May and is down 0.30 since. The catch: cheaper oil can drag inflation expectations down on its own. So a falling breakeven
Nikkei 225: Sharp Rebound Reclaims Key Zone — Bulls Back in the Driver’s Seat
Nikkei 225 has staged a sharp rebound, with price climbing from a low near 56,700 to currently trade around 61,40. The rally has pushed price back above the 59,300–60,400 zone, a level that had been closely watched on the way down. ① Daily Chart: Rebound Off Channel Support Price found its floor at the lower boundary of the equidistant channel, coinciding with previous swing lows in this area. From there, the rebound has been swift — climbing roughly 8% off the recent low in a short span and reclaiming the 59,300–60,400 zone decisively. The 20-day and 50-day moving averages are still turning down, and the 200-day moving average remains well above current price, so the broader moving average structure has not yet turned supportive. This keeps the recovery, for now, in the category of a shar
Big Options Bets: Nasdaq 25,000 Put Positions Cluster as $78 Oil Put Trades Surge
Options on futures use futures contracts as the underlying asset. Volume and open interest (OI) show positioning across expiration months and strike prices. These offer clues to market expectations, risk appetite and potential support or resistance. The data alone cannot establish a bullish or bearish signal. Today, we examine large futures options trades and changes in open interest on November 10 versus November 9. These are the latest figures in this release, offering a snapshot of positioning and risk appetite. The latest data show divergent positioning across markets. Nasdaq 100 put open interest is growing faster in nearby expiries. WTI’s December options show growth in both calls and puts, while gold’s call additions are concentrated in longer-dated contracts.

Nvidia Plunges 8% on CEO Ouster Reports; AMD & AVGO Climb
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ plunged about -8% in overnight trading following reports that its board was considering removing CEO Jensen Huang. The sell-off came amid reports of a second alleged extramarital affair, this time with an Nvidia executive, following earlier reports linking Jensen Huang to a businesswoman suspected of ties to Chinese intelligence. Amplifying the move, the NVDA 5x Short DLC (VU6W) surged nearly +40%, while the NVDA 5x Long DLC (KJHW) fell by a similar magnitude. Meanwhile, $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ and
Nvidia Faces Its Biggest Leadership Test: Could Jensen Huang’s Exit Change the AI Story?
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ is facing a new challenge that could be more significant than an ordinary share-price correction: uncertainty over its leadership. According to a Reuters report on November 11, Nvidia’s board was expected to meet to discuss whether CEO Jensen Huang should remain in his position. The report, citing a source familiar with the matter, has raised questions about who could take over if a leadership change occurs. Nvidia has not confirmed that Huang will be removed, and speculation about possible successors should not be confused with an official succession decision. Nevertheless, the news comes at a sensitive time. Nvidia has reportedly lost around US$600 billion in market value during this week’s sell-off, while investors are alrea

[Discussion] Could Jensen Huang Be Fired? Buy or Sell Nvidia?
Just days before its highly anticipated earnings report, Nvidia is facing a crisis that could shake up its leadership — and potentially change how Wall Street values the AI chip giant. On Wednesday, November 11, The New York Times reported that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang allegedly had an extramarital affair with Kimberly Powell, the company's vice president of healthcare, citing five former employees. The revelation follows an earlier controversy involving Huang's relationship with a businesswoman reportedly under scrutiny over suspected ties to Chinese intelligence. Nvidia's board has already launched an independent investigation into the matter. The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia's board was preparing to consider removing Huang as CEO, with directors expected to meet as early as W
📊 Options Puppy Market Update — 12 November 2026 and opinions TigerTrade
📊 Options Puppy Market Update — 12 November 2026 🐶 NVIDIA Leadership Crisis, Hot CPI and Today’s Trading Opportunities Thursday | Singapore Time | US Market Outlook 🐶 My take: Today is a market where I want to protect my capital, collect premiums carefully and avoid chasing falling technology stocks. We have two major developments shaking Wall Street: * 🚨 NVIDIA is facing a leadership crisis involving Jensen Huang and uncertainty about CEO succession. * 🔥 US inflation has come in hotter than expected, putting pressure on the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate outlook. These two developments are particularly important because they affect the two things supporting the market: confidence in AI growth and expectations of lower interest rates. 1️⃣ 🚨 NVIDIA: Is the AI giant facing a leadership prob
Nvidia vs TSMC: Why Is One Chip Giant Falling While the Other Rises?
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ latest sell-off has raised a difficult question for AI investors: is this simply a short-term pullback, or are concerns about the company’s leadership, competition and valuation beginning to challenge its market position? Nvidia fell 5.47% on Tuesday, adding pressure to a stock that has become one of the most important drivers of the AI market. Three issues are weighing on sentiment: reported board scrutiny, a shareholder lawsuit and concerns about interest rates following hotter-than-expected inflation data. However, it is important to separate the facts from the market reaction. The shareholder lawsuit contains allegations, not proven findings. It was also filed after Monday’s market close, so it cannot explain Monday’s intra
