are an attractive source of passive income for investors.Not only do they flow straight into your bank account, but they are also exempted from personal income tax, thereby providing you with a tax-free additional income source.Income investors have reasons to rejoice as the Singapore stock market is filled with many attractive dividend-paying stocks that sport good dividend yields.What you may want to look for, however, are stocks with the potential to increase their dividends.By doing so, these companies can help you to beat inflation and also supply you with a steadily-increasing income stream.Here are four Singapore stocks that look well-positioned to increase their dividends in 2025.iFAST Corporation Limited (SGX: AIY)iFAST is a financial technology company that operates a platform for the buying and selling of unit trusts, shares, and bonds.The group reported an impressive set of earnings for the first nine months of 2024 (9M 2024).Net revenue shot up 75.5% year on year to S$183.5 million, led by higher contributions from iFAST’s Hong Kong ePension project.Operating profit more than doubled year on year to S$60.1 million while net profit more than tripled year on year to S$47.4 million.The group’s assets under administration (AUA) climbed 23.6% year on year to hit a record high of S$23.62 billion as of 30 September 2024.For its third interim dividend, iFAST declared a dividend of S$0.015, an increase of S$0.002 compared with the prior year’s S$0.013.Management believes that the ePension division will be an important growth driver this year, while its overall wealth management platform should also show healthy progress.Its digital bank division, iFAST Global Bank, saw deposits jump 124% year on year to S$805.6 million and the group expects this division to also become an important growth driver for this year.Should these two divisions increase their contributions to overall group profit, there is a high chance that iFAST can continue to increase its dividend payout.DBS Group (SGX: D05)DBS needs no introduction, being the largest of the three local banks with a prominent local presence.The group delivered an impressive financial performance for 9M 2024 and there are hints that 2025 could see more of the same.For 9M 2024, DBS’s total income rose 11% year on year to S$16.8 billion on the back of a 5% year-on-year increase in net interest income to S$11.2 billion.Net profit stood at S$8.8 billion, a new high, and was up 12% year on year.In line with the good results, DBS paid out a quarterly dividend of S$0.54, 23% higher than the S$0.44 paid out in the previous year.CEO Piyush Gupta delivered a sanguine outlook for this year and expects pretax profits to be around 2024 levels.Non-interest income is also expected to grow in the high-single-digits year on year.With the new President-Elect Donald Trump’s policies being potentially inflationary, interest rates in the US could remain higher for longer, thus providing a boost for DBS’s net interest income.The lender also confirmed that it has excess capital of close to S$6 billion that could be returned to shareholders in the form of increased dividends or a special dividend.Back during 2023’s Investor Day, management also reiterated that it could increase its ordinary dividend by S$0.24 per year barring unforeseen circumstances.Riverstone Holdings (SGX: AP4)Riverstone is a manufacturer of nitrile and natural rubber gloves for the cleanroom and healthcare industries.The group owns six manufacturing facilities in Malaysia, Thailand, and China with an annual production capacity of 10.5 billion gloves.Riverstone pulled off an impressive financial performance for 9M 2024 as revenue rose 16% year on year to RM 794.8 million.Gross profit leapt 46.8% year on year to RM 300.3 million as gross margin expanded from 29.9% to 37.8%.Net profit climbed almost 42% year on year to RM 216.9 million.Free cash flow for 9M 2024 also climbed 40.2% year on year to RM 190.3 million.An interim dividend of RM 0.04 was declared for the third quarter, taking the year-to-date dividend per shar to RM 0.12.Riverstone is building additional production capacity for healthcare gloves.Three additional healthcare lines are expected to be ready by the first quarter of 2025.Should Riverstone enjoy higher revenue and profits again this year, the glove maker could raise its dividends further.Civmec Ltd (SGX: P9D)Civmec is an Australian integrated construction and engineering services provider to the energy, resources, and infrastructure sectors.Back during its fiscal 2024 (FY2024) press release for the fiscal year ending 30 June 2024, Civmec saw revenue jump 24.4% year on year to A$1 billion.Net profit improved by 11.6% year on year to A$64.4 million.The engineering firm raised its final dividend by 16.7% year on year to A$0.035.For its first quarter of fiscal 2025 business update, revenue climbed 7.2% year on year to A$262.7 million but net profit stayed flat year on year at A$15.2 million.In November last year, Civmec was awarded the design and construction works for the delivery of a new major shiploader with the project value in the region of A$90 million to A$100 million.Management did warn that delays in the timing of project awards may result in lower activity levels for the business.However, tendering activities remain at historically high levels and with better revenue and earnings, Civmec could continue to up its dividend payments.2024 set the stage for a bullish market—what’s next for 2025?

stocks are so-named because of their ability to brave through multiple economic cycles.Such stocks qualify as a dependable layer of stocks to serve as the bedrock of investors’ portfolios.In addition to remaining resilient in the face of economic headwinds, most blue-chip stocks also dish out a dividend.This source of passive income, coupled with the peace of mind afforded by this category of stocks, makes them a popular choice for many investors.Here are four Singapore blue-chip stocks that could be perfect for your portfolio.OCBC Ltd (SGX: O39)OCBC is Singapore’s second-largest bank by market capitalisation.The lender offers a comprehensive range of services including banking, insurance, and investments for both individuals and corporations.OCBC released a sparkling set of earnings for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024).Net interest income rose 4% year on year to S$2.4 billion for the quarter.Total income increased by 8% year on year to S$3.6 billion while operating profit improved by the same quantum to S$2.3 billion.Net profit rose 5% year on year to a record high of S$1.98 billion.OCBC not only reported its highest-ever quarterly profit but has also been steadily increasing its annual dividend.From 2020 to 2023, its yearly dividend increased from S$0.318 to S$0.82.CEO Helen Wong remains confident about the year ahead and believes that the group is on track to deliver on its strategic initiatives.The bank recently made an offer to purchase the remaining shares of Great Eastern Holdings (SGX: G07) that it does not own.If successful, the insurer will help to enhance OCBC’s profits and improve its return on equity.Singapore Technologies Engineering (SGX: S63)Singapore Technologies Engineering, or STE, is a technology and engineering group with customers across the aerospace, smart city, defence, and public security sectors.The group announced a robust set of earnings for 2023 with revenue rising nearly 12% year on year to S$10.1 billion.Operating profit increased by 24% year on year to S$915 million but would have been higher by 40% year on year at S$946 million if one-off items were excluded.Net profit excluding one-off items shot up 24% year on year to S$610 million.STE declared a final dividend of S$0.04, taking 2023’s total dividend to S$0.16.The engineering group’s 1Q 2024 saw this momentum continue.Revenue was 18% higher year on year at S$2.7 billion with two of its major divisions, Commercial Aerospace and Defence & Public Security, registering double-digit year-on-year revenue growth.STE secured contract wins of S$3 billion for 1Q 2024 which helped to propel its order book to S$27.7 billion as of 31 March 2024.Of this order book, S$6.5 billion is expected to be delivered for the rest of this year.CapitaLand Investment Limited (SGX: 9CI)CapitaLand Investment Limited, or CLI, is a global real estate manager with assets under management (AUM) of S$134 billion and funds under management (FUM) of almost S$100 billion as of 31 December 2023.The group reported a steady set of earnings for 2023 with a slight 3.2% year on year dip in revenue to S$2.8 billion.Its fee income-related business (FRB) revenue, however, improved by 8.7% year on year to S$1.1 billion.Core net profit declined by 6.7% year on year to S$568 million but CLI kept its core final dividend of S$0.12 constant from the previous year.1Q 2024 saw its FRB revenue increase by 7% year on year to S$274 million.CLI is also advancing on its capital recycling strategy with S$464 million of assets divested in 1Q 2024, sharply higher than the S$6 million sold off a year ago.The property group targets to increase its FUM to S$200 billion in five years.Meanwhile, CLI’s lodging management (LM) division also saw an improved performance as air travel and tourism recovered.LM’s fee-related earnings rose 8% year on year to S$82 million for the quarter with more than 4,600 units signed across 22 properties.Venture Corporation Limited (SGX: V01)Venture Corporation is a provider of technology products, services, and solutions and serves a variety of different sectors such as life sciences, genomics, healthcare, networking, and communications.The semiconductor sector is going through a cyclical downturn now, causing the group to report a near-27% year-on-year fall in net profit to S$270 million for 2023.Despite the weaker results, Venture still maintained its full-year dividend of S$0.75 per share.The contract manufacturing giant also generated a positive free cash flow of S$473.9 million, double the S$236.4 million churned out in 2022.1Q 2024 saw continued weakness with revenue falling nearly 19% year on year to S$666.7 million and net profit tumbling by 18.3% year on year to S$60.1 million.Management sees a better performance in the second half of 2024 compared to the first.Based on customers’ feedback, demand is strengthening in several technology domains, a good sign that the downturn may be easing.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"S63.SI":1.1,"V01.SI":1.1,"O39.SI":1.1,"9CI.SI":1.1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":4727,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":316303809958048,"gmtCreate":1718252319800,"gmtModify":1718252324942,"author":{"id":"3585275877804031","authorId":"3585275877804031","name":"JilQ","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cb3139dd245c3734bfe1d9a9064f8d8","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3585275877804031","idStr":"3585275877804031"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Please

stocks are known for their resilience during different economic cycles.Their large size and long track record make them outstanding candidates to own for peace of mind.To top it off, most blue-chip stocks also pay out a dividend, helping investors generate a useful source of passive income.However, sentiment can sometimes lead to depressed valuations even for blue-chip stocks.Here are three solid blue-chip stocks that we believe are too cheap to ignore.Hongkong Land HoldingsHongkong Land Holdings, or HKL, is a property development, management, and investment group.The property giant owns and manages more than 850,000 square metres of prime luxury retail and commercial properties in Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, and Jakarta.For 2023, the group reported an underlying net profit of US$734 million, down 5% year on year.However, the property developer maintained its annual dividend of US$0.22 per share despite the slightly weaker results.HKL’s net asset value (NAV) stood at US$14.49 per share as of 31 December 2023.At the share price of US$3.42, the group is trading at just 0.24 times its book value.HKL provided an interim management statement and business update for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024).Its underlying net profit remained the same as the corresponding period in 2023 with contributions from both investment and development properties largely unchanged.However, the group is facing tough conditions in China where buyer sentiment towards the residential sector has deteriorated.The attributable interest in contracted sales plunged by 36% year on year with profit margins also impacted by reduced sale prices across many projects.Management is taking an extensive review of these projects and HKL will incur a non-cash impairment charge of US$200 million to US$300 million for the first half of 2024 (1H 2024).Over in Hong Kong, leasing demand was negatively impacted by uncertainty in global markets with physical committed vacancy coming in at 6.6%.Rental reversions also continue to be negative.The bright spot is Singapore, where rental reversions are positive because of tight supply and a flight to quality.Committed physical vacancy remained low at just 1% compared with 0.9% at the end of 2023.Genting SingaporeGenting Singapore owns and operates the integrated resort (IR) at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS).The IR features six hotels with around 1,600 hotel rooms, a casino, one of the world’s largest aquariums (S.E.A. Aquarium), a Universal Studios Singapore (USS) theme park, and numerous dining, retail, and entertainment options.2023 saw a 40% year-on-year jump in revenue for the IR operator to S$2.4 billion as air travel and tourism recovered with a bang.The group’s net profit shot up 80% year on year to S$611.6 million.The business also generated a positive free cash flow of S$627.1 million last year.For 1Q 2024, Genting Singapore has carried on the momentum with a 62% year on year surge in revenue to S$784.4 million.Net profit for the quarter came in at S$247.4 million, up 92% year on year from S$129.2 million.Despite the strong performance, shares of Genting Singapore have fallen nearly 12% year to date.The IR operator is trading at an attractive trailing 12-month price-earnings ratio of just 14.7 times.Genting Singapore recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Sentosa Development Corporation, DBS Group (SGX: D05), and Singapore Tourism Board to establish the Sentosa Precinct Partnership.Such a collaboration should increase the appeal of RWS in the future.In line with the group’s plans for RWS 2.0, construction works for the new Minion Land attraction in USS, the Singapore Oceanarium, and the Central Lifestyle Connector remain on track.These new attractions will open in phases from 1Q 2025.City Developments Limited (SGX: C09)City Developments Limited, or CDL, is a global real estate firm with a network spanning 163 locations in 29 countries and regions.The group’s diverse portfolio includes residences, offices, hotels, serviced apartments, retail malls, and integrated developments.CDL posted a record revenue of S$4.9 billion for 2023, up 50% year on year, largely due to the strength of its property development division.The property giant’s core net profit quadrupled year on year to S$188.6 million.CDL’s net asset value stood at S$10.12 as of 31 December 2023, meaning its shares are trading at a price-to-book ratio of just 0.54 times.The group is advancing on its GET strategy, which stands for “Growth, Enhancement, and Transformation”.Just last month, CDL concluded the acquisition of the Hilton Paris Opera Hotel to boost the group’s recurring income.Its recent 1Q 2024 business update also sounded promising.The group and its associates sold 429 units in Singapore, reaping sales proceeds of S$736.8 million.This performance was significantly better than the 88 units sold for S$213.2 million in the previous corresponding period.Another two residential projects are slated for launch in 2H 2024.Its Singapore office property portfolio also boasted a high occupancy rate of 91.1% along with the group’s flagship Republic Plaza office asset reporting a positive rental reversion of 8.6% for the quarter.Its Singapore retail portfolio enjoyed a committed occupancy of 97.7%, higher than Singapore’s retail occupancy of 93.3% as of 31 March 2024.CDL will also invest S$50 million in an asset enhancement initiative to spruce up the 15-year-old City Square Mall with full completion expected in 1H 2025.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"G13.SI":1,"D05.SI":1,"C09.SI":1,"H78.SI":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":4574,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":315216917156096,"gmtCreate":1717988592732,"gmtModify":1717988596416,"author":{"id":"3585275877804031","authorId":"3585275877804031","name":"JilQ","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cb3139dd245c3734bfe1d9a9064f8d8","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3585275877804031","idStr":"3585275877804031"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Please

always a shock to learn that a stock has fallen to its 52-week low.However, investors may also view this event as an opportunity to scoop up shares at a bargain.That said, it pays to dig deeper into the reasons for the stock’s poor share price performance to determine if it is because of fundamentals or is purely sentiment-driven.If the problems plaguing the stock are temporary, then it could present an attractive buying opportunity.Here are four Singapore stocks that fell to their year-lows that could end up on your buy watchlist.Wilmar InternationalWilmar is a leading agribusiness group with an integrated business model that spans the entire agricultural commodity value chain.The blue-chip group has over 1,000 manufacturing plants and an extensive distribution network covering around 50 countries and regions.Shares of the company have declined by 11.6% year-to-date (YTD) are recently touched their 52-week low of S$3.07.In late April, the group released a downbeat business update for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024).Revenue fell by 7.3% year on year to US$15.7 billion while net profit tumbled by 22.6% year on year to US$302.9 million.Stripping out one-off items, Wilmar’s core net profit declined by 14% year on year to US$328.4 million.Sales volume for both its Food Products and Feed & Industrial Products divisions grew by 13.9% and 7% year on year, respectively.However, lower commodity prices were responsible for the fall in revenue despite these healthy volume increases.In line with the fall in net profit, operating cash flow also dipped by 17.4% year on year to US$1.8 billion.Management expects the global economic outlook to remain uncertain through 2024 but expects the group’s results to remain “satisfactory” due to its integrated business model.DelfiDelfi is a manufacturer and distributor of branded consumer products such as chocolates and confectionary products that are sold in over 17 countries.The group’s flagship brands in Indonesia include SilverQueen and Ceres and it also distributes a portfolio of well-known agency brands in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.Delfi’s share price has declined by 21.2% YTD and the confectionary producer recently hit its 52-week low of S$0.85.Late last month, the group released its 1Q 2024 business update that saw a downbeat set of earnings.Net sales fell by 5.3% year on year to US$150.7 million due to management’s decision to reduce and refocus spending on trade promotions.Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) declined by 8.5% year on year to US$23.3 million.However, a bright spot was a slight increase in gross margin from 29.7% in 1Q 2023 to 30.2% in the current quarter.Despite the weak results, Delfi maintained a sturdy balance sheet with US$66.7 million of cash and just US$18.3 million of debt as of 31 March 2024.The group also generated a positive free cash flow of US$27 million, 7.3% higher than a year ago.Frasers Hospitality TrustFrasers Hospitality Trust, or FHT, is a hospitality trust with a portfolio of 14 assets in nine cities in Asia, Australia, and Europe.These properties have an appraised value of around S$1.9 billion as of 30 September 2023.FHT’s unit price has steadily fallen to its 52-week low of S$0.42 and the stock is down 14% YTD.In early May, the hospitality trust released its first half of fiscal 2024 (1H FY2024) results ending 31 March 2024.Gross revenue inched up 1.7% year on year to S$63.3 million as the trust saw travel recovery in most of its operating markets.However, because of higher finance costs incurred as borrowings were refinanced in a higher interest rate environment, distributable income fell by 13.7% year on year to S$23.4 million.As a result, distribution per stapled security (DPSS) also tumbled by 13.7% year on year to S$0.01091.FHT’s aggregate leverage stood at 35.5% with an effective cost of borrowing of 3.4% for 1H FY2024.Looking ahead, the manager plans to enhance returns via proactive asset management while seeking to unlock value through opportunistic divestments.APAC RealtyAPAC Realty is a real estate services provider holding the exclusive ERA regional master franchise rights for 17 countries in Asia Pacific.The group is also one of Singapore’s largest real estate agencies with 8,891 advisors as of 1 January 2024.Shares of APAC Realty have fallen by 21% YTD to hit their 52-week low of S$0.40.The group released a downbeat set of earnings for 2023 with revenue falling by 21% year on year to S$557.3 million.Operating profit plunged by 62.4% year on year to S$13.5 million while net profit fell 55.7% year on year to S$11.8 million.The business also generated a positive free cash flow of S$16 million for 2023.A final dividend of S$0.014 was declared and paid out, nearly half of the S$0.0275 paid out in the prior year.In late April, APAC Realty announced its maiden foray into the Philippines with a franchise agreement signed with Upper Rooms Realty for Manila.Under this agreement, Upper Rooms can operate ERA member broker offices in Metro Manila for an initial 15-year term with effect from 4 May this year.The addition of the Philippines marks the 13th country in ERA’s Asia Pacific portfolio and 40th overall under the ERA global umbrella.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"ACV.SI":1,"CLN.SI":1,"P34.SI":1,"F34.SI":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3222,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":310721020649480,"gmtCreate":1716865149226,"gmtModify":1716865152696,"author":{"id":"3585275877804031","authorId":"3585275877804031","name":"JilQ","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cb3139dd245c3734bfe1d9a9064f8d8","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3585275877804031","idStr":"3585275877804031"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Tiger

stocks are famed for their reputation and stellar track record through different economic cycles.For investors seeking stability and peace of mind, these stocks act as the bedrock for their portfolios.Blue-chip stocks that demonstrate the ability to grow their earnings and cash flows will be accorded higher share prices, thus bestowing capital gains to their investors.As a bonus, most blue-chip stocks also dish out reliable dividends.Here are four blue-chip stocks that could see their profits rise in line with catalysts for their business.City Developments Limited (SGX: C09)City Developments Limited, or CDL, is a property company with a network spanning 163 locations in 29 countries and regions.Its diverse portfolio of real estate includes residences, offices, hotels, serviced apartments, retail malls, and integrated developments.The group released an encouraging business update for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024).A total of 429 units were sold, bringing in sales revenue of S$736.8 million.This performance was significantly better than 1Q 2023’s sale of just 88 units worth S$213.2 million and was driven by the launch of Lumina Grand, a 512-unit executive condominium in Bukit Batok.CDL has also substantially sold its residential inventory in China.Eling Palace is fully sold with Hong Leong City Center and Hongqiao Royal Lake enjoying sales of 92% and 91%, respectively.The property giant plans to launch two new residential projects in the second half of 2024, Union Square Residences (366 units) and Champions Way (348 units).In line with the group’s rejuvenation strategy, it will invest S$50 million in an asset enhancement initiative (AEI) for City Square Mall, which commenced in the third quarter of last year.Full completion is expected in the first half of 2025 for the two-phase AEI.Meanwhile, CDL also announced the completion of the acquisition of the Hilton Paris Opera Hotel, helping to add to its portfolio of hospitality properties.Genting Singapore (SGX: G13)Genting Singapore owns and operates the integrated resort (IR) at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS).The IR boasts six hotels with around 1,600 rooms, a casino, a Universal Studios theme park, and numerous dining, retail, and entertainment options.The group reported a strong set of earnings for 1Q 2024 as tourism rebounded strongly in the North Asian region with the reopening of borders.Revenue surged by 62% year on year to S$784.4 million while net profit soared 92% year on year to S$247.4 million.There could be more to come for the IR operator.In early May, RWS signed a memorandum of understanding with Sentosa Development Corporation, DBS Bank (SGX: D05), and Singapore Tourism Board, to establish a collaborative Sentosa Precinct Partnership.This initiative, along with the hosting of the Asia premiere of Harry Potter: Visions of Magic later this year, should increase the IR’s appeal.Elsewhere, construction works for the new Minion Land and the Singapore Oceanarium are on track and these two attractions are set to open in phases from 1Q 2025.Singtel (SGX: Z74) Singtel is Singapore’s largest telecommunication company and offers a comprehensive range of mobile, pay TV, and broadband services.The telco reported a resilient set of earnings for its fiscal 2024 (FY2024) ending 31 March 2024.Underlying net profit grew 10% year on year to S$2.3 billion and the telco hiked its FY2024 by 52% year on year to S$0.15.Management will focus on lifting core performance at Singtel Singapore and Optus, its Australian subsidiary.In addition, the telco also plans to scale up its growth engines Nxera, its data centre division, and build up its Paragon-X enterprise platform.Aside from these moves, Singtel has also identified around S$6 billion of assets slated for recycling which will help the group to sustain its new value realisation dividend.Singtel introduced ST28, a new growth plan to enhance customer experience and deliver sustainable value for shareholders.This new long-term strategy will help the group to optimise its core business, scale its growth engines, and deploy capital expenditure which will be funded by external partners.Over time, management aims to deliver growth in both profits and dividends to shareholders.Singapore Technologies Engineering (SGX: S63)Singapore Technologies Engineering, or STE, is a technology, defence, and engineering group that serves customers across the aerospace, smart city, and public security sectors.Revenue for 2023 rose 11.8% year on year to S$10.1 billion while operating profit jumped 24.4% year on year to S$914.7 million.Underlying net profit after excluding one-off expenses shot up 24% year on year to S$610 million.The momentum has carried over into 1Q 2024 as the group’s revenue was 18% higher than the previous year at S$2.7 billion.STE snagged S$3 billion of new contracts in 1Q 2024, taking its order book to S$27.7 billion as of 31 March 2024.Around S$6.5 billion of these contracts are expected to be delivered for the remainder of 2024.Management is confident that its digital business can triple to more than S$500 million by 2026 as it focuses on cloud, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"IR":1,"C09.SI":1,"D05.SI":1,"AEI":1,"S63.SI":1,"Z74.SI":1,"G13.SI":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":4032,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":306353575571696,"gmtCreate":1715828609186,"gmtModify":1715828613275,"author":{"id":"3585275877804031","authorId":"3585275877804031","name":"JilQ","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cb3139dd245c3734bfe1d9a9064f8d8","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3585275877804031","idStr":"3585275877804031"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Can

earnings season for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024) is almost over.Singapore’s three big banks have handed in their report cards in an environment of “higher-for-longer” interest rates.DBS Group (SGX: D05) was the first to report and announce a stellar set of results with net profit hitting a new record.United Overseas Bank (SGX: U11), or UOB, was next but delivered a subdued performance for 1Q 2024.OCBC Ltd (SGX: O39) was the last of the trio to announce its earnings and it, too, saw its net profit hit a new record.If you are looking for one of the banks to invest in, you are in luck.We place the three side by side to determine which is the best bank you should purchase.FinancialsSource: Banks’ Earnings ReportsFirst off, we look at each bank’s financial performance.There was a wide spread across the trio with DBS leading the pack with a 12.6% year on year increase in total income.DBS saw its net interest income rise 8% year on year while its fee and commission income hit a new high of S$1 billion for the quarter.UOB, on the other hand, saw its total income remain flat year on year as its net interest income fell 2% year on year while fee income rose 5% year on year.For net profit, DBS is the clear winner with a near-15% year on year rise to S$2.95 billion as expenses rose less than total income.OCBC came in second place with a decent performance – its total income rose 8% year on year on the back of a 4% year-on-year increase in net interest income.OCBC managed to improve its net profit for 1Q 2024 by 5% year on year to nearly S$2 billion.Winner: DBSLoan book and net interest margin (NIM)Source: Banks’ Earnings ReportsNext, we examine each bank’s loan book and net interest margin (NIM).The three banks all reported a year-on-year rise in their loan books with the average rise being around 2%.For NIM, OCBC has the highest among the trio at 2.27% for 1Q 2024.However, investors should note that OCBC’s NIM had dipped by 0.03 percentage points from 2.3% a year ago.Its 1Q 2024 NIM was also lower than the previous quarter’s 2.29%.DBS, on the other hand, reported a slight year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter increase for its NIM, which came in at 2.14% for 1Q 2024.UOB saw the largest year-on-year NIM decline among the three banks with a 0.12 percentage point drop.OCBC still emerges as the winner as its NIM is the highest while remaining fairly stable year on year.Winner: OCBCCost-to-income ratio (CIR)Source: Banks’ Earnings ReportsThe next metric to look at is each bank’s cost-to-income ratio (CIR).The CIR is the ratio of the bank’s total expenses to its total income and a lower ratio signifies that a bank has its expenses well-controlled.OCBC is once again the winner here with the lowest CIR among the three banks for 1Q 2024.However, credit should be given to DBS for improving its CIR both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.While UOB also saw an improvement in its CIR, it was the only bank with its CIR consistently above 40%.Winner: OCBCNon-performing loans (NPL) ratioSource: Banks’ Earnings ReportsMoving on to the non-performing loans (NPL) ratio, OCBC once again is the winner with the lowest NPL ratio.As a reminder, the NPL ratio measures the credit quality of a bank’s loan book.Hence, a lower NPL ratio will imply that a bank’s loan book has a lower level of problematic borrowers.Winner: OCBCReturn on equity (ROE)Source: Banks’ Earnings ReportsA bank’s return on equity measures the amount of profit generated per dollar of capital, so a higher ROE is a signal that a bank is more profitable with less capital.On this front, DBS is the clear winner with its ROE hitting an all-time high of 19.4% for 1Q 2024.DBS also saw a sharp increase of 3.2 percentage points for its ROE from the previous quarter (4Q 2023).OCBC also saw a 2.3 percentage point ROE improvement while UOB’s improvement came in at just 0.2 percentage points over the same period.Winner: DBSValuationSource: Banks’ Earnings ReportsWhen it comes to valuation, DBS is the most expensive bank of the three with a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 1.64 times.UOB and OCBC are both valued at 1.13 times and 1.16 times P/B, respectively, making them much more affordable compared to Singapore’s largest bank.Winner: UOBGet Smart: A tough choiceA clear decision is not easy in this case as both OCBC and DBS score points on different attributes.While OCBC has the highest NIM and the lowest CIR and NPL ratio, DBS scores points in raising its net profit and knocking the ball out of the park with the highest ROE.Investors need to decide which metrics are more important in their decision-making process.Another factor to consider is that DBS pays out a quarterly dividend while the other two banks only pay dividends every six months.For 1Q 2024, DBS declared an interim dividend of S$0.54 per share, a 42% increase over the prior year’s S$0.38.Attention: Investors aiming for both growth and peace of mind. We’ve pinpointed 5 SGX stocks known for consistent dividends. If you want to build a retirement portfolio, but don’t want the stress of stock watching, this report is for you.

earnings season is officially over.Some of the best results this season were delivered by the trio of local banks as they saw their top and bottom lines surge in tandem with rising global interest rates.Singapore’s largest bank, DBS Group (SGX: D05), pulled off an impressive performance with its 2023 net profit passing the S$10 billion mark for the first time.The other two blue-chip banks also fared well.United Overseas Bank Ltd (SGX: U11), or UOB, reported a record high net profit while OCBC Ltd (SGX: O39) saw its net profit hit S$7 billion for the first time.With all three banks reporting record results, which should you pick for your portfolio?Financial performanceFirst, we look at each bank’s financial performance.DBS Group takes the cake with a 22.3% year-on-year jump in total income, the highest among the three banks.However, when it comes to net profit, OCBC recorded the highest year-on-year jump at 27.1%.OCBC also registered a 28.5% year-on-year growth in operating profit before allowances.Winner: OCBCNIMs and loan growthMoving on to each bank’s loan book and net interest margin (NIM), we find that loan growth remains tepid for all three banks.DBS and OCBC both registered just a small 0.4% year on year increase in loans while UOB did slightly better at 0.5% year on year.Surging interest rates helped to boost all the banks’ NIMs for 2023, with DBS seeing the sharpest rise of 0.4 percentage points from 1.75% in 2022 to 2.15% in 2023.However, DBS’s NIM for the fourth quarter of 2023 (4Q 2023) was a tad lower than the 3Q 2023’s 2.19%.UOB’s NIM was also slightly lower quarter-on-quarter at 2.02% for 4Q 2023.Only OCBC managed to register a quarter-on-quarter NIM increase, ending at 2.29% for 4Q 2023 and 2.28% for the year.OCBC’s 2023 NIM was also the highest among the three banks.Winner: OCBCCost-to-income ratioNext, we look at each bank’s cost-to-income ratio (CIR).CIR is calculated as the expenses of the bank divided by its total income, so a lower CIR indicates that a bank’s operations are more efficient.All three banks saw their CIR decline year on year as total income rose faster than expenses.However, the final quarter of the year will typically see higher CIR as the bank makes provision for bonuses for their staff.OCBC has the lowest CIR among the three banks for both 4Q 2023 and the full year, making it the clear winner here.Winner: OCBC Return on equity (ROE)Next, we look at the all-important return on equity (ROE) metric.Return on equity measures the net profit generated per dollar of equity of the company and is a measure of profitability per dollar of capital.DBS not only had the highest ROE among the trio of banks at 18% but also saw the largest year-on-year increase at three percentage points.Winner: DBS GroupNon-performing loans (NPL) ratioThe non-performing loans ratio (NPL ratio) looks at the proportion of loans within a bank’s loan book that are non-performing (i.e. cannot be serviced by borrowers).Once again, OCBC holds the crown for having the lowest NPL ratio.It also enjoyed the biggest improvement in its NPL ratio over the year with a 0.2 percentage point reduction.Winner: OCBCDividend yieldIncome investors will love this next characteristic – the dividend yield for each bank.The good news is that all three banks raised their year-on-year dividends in tandem with their robust financial results.Of the three, OCBC has the highest trailing 12-month dividend yield of 6.3%.However, investors should note that DBS raised its quarterly dividend to S$0.54 from 4Q 2023 onwards.On a projected 2024 dividend of S$2.16, DBS provides a forward dividend yield of 6.4%.In addition, DBS also declared a 1-for-10 bonus issue of shares with the new shares being entitled to the increased dividend.When adjusted for this bonus issue, DBS’s dividend yield rises to 7.1%Winner: DBS GroupValuationFinally, we look at each bank’s valuation to determine if their shares are cheap, or expensive.Of the three, UOB has the lowest price-to-book ratio at 1.08 times, which was a tad lower than 1.1 times back in November 2023.OCBC’s valuation has also come down slightly from 1.14 times price-to-book to just 1.1 times.Only DBS sports the same valuation as it did back in November at 1.45 times price-to-book.Winner: UOBGet Smart: OCBC is the winnerTallying up all the attributes makes OCBC the clear winner.However, income investors may wish to own DBS which sports the highest dividend yield.You also need to look at each bank’s plans and prospects to decide which bank fits best in your investment portfolio.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"U11.SI":1,"D05.SI":1,"CIR":1,"NIM":1,"O39.SI":1,"ROE":1,"DBS":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3652,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":280617308147792,"gmtCreate":1709539622381,"gmtModify":1709539626082,"author":{"id":"3585275877804031","authorId":"3585275877804031","name":"JilQ","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cb3139dd245c3734bfe1d9a9064f8d8","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3585275877804031","idStr":"3585275877804031"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"<a

Street Crime and Punishment is a weekly series by Benzinga's Phil Hall chronicling the bankers, brokers and financial ne’er-do-wells whose ambition and greed take them in the wrong direction.\nIf you were living in the New York metropolitan area during the 1970s and 1980s, you probably remember the commercials for the Crazy Eddie electronics retail chain. They were impossible to miss: More than 7,500 spots featuring a frenetic, motor-mouthed spokesperson bombilating frenetically about the “in-saaaaaaaaane” discounts offered by the store.\nCrazy Eddie was never the biggest retail operation in the region. At its peak, there were only 43 locations spread across four states.\nBut the ubiquity of the commercials made it seem more prominent than it actually was, and the excess attention eventually brought harsh spotlights on the financial chicanery perpetrated by its chief executive,Eddie Antar.\nAn Audacious Start:Eddie Antar was born in Brooklyn, New York, on Dec. 18, 1947, the grandson of Syrian Jewish immigrants. Antar was an intelligent youth but found school boring, dropping out at 16 to work odd jobs before setting up a small stand at New York’s Port Authority in the heart of Manhattan where he sold portable televisions. While Antar belatedly realized he had the wrong product line in the wrong location, he used the experience to sharpen his sales skills.\nBy 1969, Antar saved up enough money to go into business with his father Sam and cousin named Ronnie Gindi, creating a retail operation called ERS Electronics. They opened an electronics store in the Kings Highway business shopping district in Brooklyn called Sights and Sounds.\nAt the time, small and independently-owned electronics retailers operated at a significant disadvantage against major chains due to the fair trade laws of the era that enabled manufacturers to establish a single standard retail price all retailers needed to list. To stand out from the competition, Antar challenged the laws by marking down his merchandise, thus offering a discount absent elsewhere in this retail sector.\nSome manufacturers got wise to this and refused to do business with Antar, but he circumvented their boycott by purchasing excess stock from other businesses and obtaining products through grey-market channels from overseas sources.\nThe stress was great and Gindi eventually lost interest in the enterprise, selling his one-third of the business to Antar.\nBut how could the store remain afloat financially through its seemingly reckless discounting? As Antar’s father Sam would later recall in an interview, the lo-fi nature of old-school retailing work enabled them to put their ethics on hold.\n“Back then, most customers paid in cash,” he said. “If we don’t disclose the sale, we keep the sales tax. That’s a good cushion to be able to afford to beat the competition.”\nSights and Sounds began to attract bargain hunters from outside of Brooklyn and Antar turned into something of a one-man, in-store comedy show, going so far as taking the shoes of cash-strapped customers who wanted to buy stereos for deposits and jokingly preventing shoppers from leaving unless they made a purchase.\nAntar’s shtick was so amusing that his first wife Deborah came home one evening in 1971 with a story about how one of her co-workers was talking about his shopping trip to Sights and Sounds.\nThe co-worker, who was unaware of Deborah’s connection to the store, talked happily about dealing with a salesperson that he dubbed “Crazy Eddie.” At that point, Antar decided to change the name of Sights and Sounds to Crazy Eddie.\nAn Advertising Assault:The fair trade law that initially stifled Antar and other smaller businesses was repealed in 1972. Antar’s aggressive discounting and colorful personality enabled him to prepare for a business expansion — he moved to a larger store on Kings Highway, then opened a location in the Long Island town of Syosset in 1973 and in the heart of Manhattan in 1975.\nAntar recognized how his larger competitors used advertising to their advantage, and in 1972 he began marketing his business over the airwaves via WPIX-FM, a popular music station that mixed rock oldies with current Top 40 hits. Antar created an ad copy script that would be read live on the air by Jerry Carroll, one of the station’s disk jockeys. But Carroll decided to improvise, reading the copy in a mock-frenzied manner and creating a new closing line with “Crazy Eddie — his prices are in-saaaaaaaaane.”\nRather than be upset by the deviation to the script, Antar was ecstatic with Carroll’s flippant approach as his delivery stood out wildly from the other advertising running on the station. Antar contracted Carroll to be his on-air pitchman for radio, and in 1975 Carroll was brought in front of the cameras for a television campaign.\nIt was through the television commercials Crazy Eddie became the center of consumer attention. For the next 10 years, the commercials offered endless variations on the same set-up: Carroll wore the same outfit — a dark blazer and a turtleneck sweater — and stood surrounded by displays of the electronics being peddled.\nEach commercial ran about 30 seconds, but Carroll spoke so rapidly that it seemed he was trying to cover 60 seconds of a script in half of his allotted time.\nCarroll’s physical delivery was comically spastic, with flailing arms, bulging eyes and the most manic smile this side of the Joker.\nHe would inevitably challenge shoppers to “shop around, get the best prices you can find, then bring ’em to Crazy Eddie and he’ll beat ’em.” And each commercial ended with Carroll stretching his arms out while proclaiming, “Crazy Eddie — his prices are in-saaaaaaaaane.”\nThere would be a few variations to the presentation, including a Christmas season ad campaign and a “Christmas in August” summertime effort with Carroll dressed in a Santa suit while being pelted with Styrofoam snowballs and papery snowflakes.\nA couple of movie spoof spots put Carroll in parodies of “Casablanca,” “Saturday Night Fever,” “Superman” and “10,” and one ad had a man in a gorilla suit grunting dialogue while subtitles offered simian-to-English translations.\nNot So Funny:After the commercials came on in full force, Crazy Eddie generated $350 million in annual revenue during its prime years.\nBut as Crazy Eddie grew, Antar’s approach to business became more problematic: cash payments were not recorded, the sales tax was pocketed and employees received off-the-books pay rather than paychecks that clearly deducted federal and state taxes.\nAntar helped finance his cousin Sam Antar’s college education and brought him on as a chief financial officer, but Sam would later recall this was not done out of love of family.\n“The whole purpose of the business was to commit premeditated fraud,” Sam recounted in an interview with MentalFloss.com. “My family put me through college to help them commit more sophisticated fraud in the future. I was trained to be a criminal.\n\"People have a certain idea of Crazy Eddie — in reality, it was a dark criminal enterprise.”\nAntar initially kept his ill-gotten gains hidden within his home, but later began sending the money far into the world. Offshore bank accounts in Canada, Gibraltar, Israel, Liberia, Luxembourg, Panama and Switzerland were set up, and by the early 1980s, Antar and his family were skimming upwards of $4 million annually in unreported income and unpaid taxes.\nEventually, the graft became too big to easily hide. The solution, Antar theorized, was not to hide but to be in the greatest spotlight imaginable: Antar decided to take Crazy Eddie public.\nHello, Wall Street:Crazy Eddie conducted its initial public offering on Sept. 13, 1984, taking the NASDAQ symbol CRZY. The popularity of the television commercials helped bring in the initial wave of investor interest, while gourmet-level cooked books gave the phony impression of a well-run retail operation.\nTwo years after first trading at $8 a share, Crazy Eddie stock was at a split-adjusted $75 per share.\nWhy Antar believed he could continue with his shenanigans amid the added scrutiny given to public companies is a mystery, but by 1987 he found himself in lethal shoals.\nThe increased retail competition saw Crazy Eddie’s sales decline, resulting in a tumbling stock price.\nAntar announced his resignation in December 1986, but four months later he shocked shareholders by revealing he never stepped down — and while still at the helm, he sold off his shares in the company, gaining about $30 million in the transaction.\nThe company had begun planning to go private when an outside investor group successfully agitated to take over what they believed to be a struggling but respectable company. But when their auditors came in, they were flabbergasted to find grossly exaggerated inventories of up to $28 million, $20 million in phony debit memos to vendors and sales reports that were closer to fiction than accountancy.\nThe chain went bankrupt in 1989 and was forced to shut down its retail network. Federal and state investigations overwhelmed what remained of the Crazy Eddie and Antar was hit with an endless flurry of lawsuits.\n\"By any measure, this is a staggering securities fraud,\" saidMichael Chertoff, the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, who accused the Antars of creating \"a giant bubble\" rather than a successful business.\nBy 1990, Antar disappeared after failing to appear at a court hearing. He obtained a phony U.S. passport issued to “Harry Page Shalom” and left the country. After a two-year global search, he was located in 1992 in a Tel Aviv suburb living under the name Alexander Stewart.\nAntar was brought back to the U.S. to find his cousin Sam Antar had taken a plea deal with federal prosecutors and agreed to testify against him in court.\n“There’s no better motivator than a 20-year prison term,” Sam Antar stated. “I didn’t cooperate because I found God. I cooperated to save my ass.”\nIn July 2013, Antar was found guilty of 17 counts of fraud and sentenced to 12½ years in prison. Two years later, his verdicts were overturned on appeal.\nRather than face the stress of another trial, Antar pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges in May 1996 and was sentenced in 1997 to eight years in prison.\nThe Legend Lives On:Antar was released after four years in prison and federal law enforcement officials managed to find more than $120 million from his offshore bank accounts, which was repaid to investors.\nSeveral attempts occurred over the subsequent years to revive the Crazy Eddie brand, first as a brick-and-mortar retailer and then as an e-commerce venture, but all of these efforts failed.\nIn June 2019,Jon Turteltaub, the director of the “National Treasure” film franchise, announced plans to make a biopic about Antar. But that project has yet to come to life.\nMany of the Crazy Eddie commercials can be found on YouTube, and marketing experts consider them to be among the most imaginative and successful examples of television advertising.\nAntar stayed out of the public light after leaving prison and died of complications from liver cancer on Sept. 10, 2016. He never publicly spoke about his past, although in a brief late-life exchange with a Newark Star-Ledger reporter he acknowledged the unique impact he had on retailing.\n“Everybody knows Crazy Eddie,” he said. “What can I tell you? I changed the business.

They were impossible to miss: More than 7,500 spots featuring a frenetic, motor-mouthed spokesperson bombilating frenetically about the “in-saaaaaaaaane” discounts offered by the store.\nCrazy Eddie was never the biggest retail operation in the region. At its peak, there were only 43 locations spread across four states.\nBut the ubiquity of the commercials made it seem more prominent than it actually was, and the excess attention eventually brought harsh spotlights on the financial chicanery perpetrated by its chief executive,Eddie Antar.\nAn Audacious Start:Eddie Antar was born in Brooklyn, New York, on Dec. 18, 1947, the grandson of Syrian Jewish immigrants. Antar was an intelligent youth but found school boring, dropping out at 16 to work odd jobs before setting up a small stand at New York’s Port Authority in the heart of Manhattan where he sold portable televisions. While Antar belatedly realized he had the wrong product line in the wrong location, he used the experience to sharpen his sales skills.\nBy 1969, Antar saved up enough money to go into business with his father Sam and cousin named Ronnie Gindi, creating a retail operation called ERS Electronics. They opened an electronics store in the Kings Highway business shopping district in Brooklyn called Sights and Sounds.\nAt the time, small and independently-owned electronics retailers operated at a significant disadvantage against major chains due to the fair trade laws of the era that enabled manufacturers to establish a single standard retail price all retailers needed to list. To stand out from the competition, Antar challenged the laws by marking down his merchandise, thus offering a discount absent elsewhere in this retail sector.\nSome manufacturers got wise to this and refused to do business with Antar, but he circumvented their boycott by purchasing excess stock from other businesses and obtaining products through grey-market channels from overseas sources.\nThe stress was great and Gindi eventually lost interest in the enterprise, selling his one-third of the business to Antar.\nBut how could the store remain afloat financially through its seemingly reckless discounting? As Antar’s father Sam would later recall in an interview, the lo-fi nature of old-school retailing work enabled them to put their ethics on hold.\n“Back then, most customers paid in cash,” he said. “If we don’t disclose the sale, we keep the sales tax. That’s a good cushion to be able to afford to beat the competition.”\nSights and Sounds began to attract bargain hunters from outside of Brooklyn and Antar turned into something of a one-man, in-store comedy show, going so far as taking the shoes of cash-strapped customers who wanted to buy stereos for deposits and jokingly preventing shoppers from leaving unless they made a purchase.\nAntar’s shtick was so amusing that his first wife Deborah came home one evening in 1971 with a story about how one of her co-workers was talking about his shopping trip to Sights and Sounds.\nThe co-worker, who was unaware of Deborah’s connection to the store, talked happily about dealing with a salesperson that he dubbed “Crazy Eddie.” At that point, Antar decided to change the name of Sights and Sounds to Crazy Eddie.\nAn Advertising Assault:The fair trade law that initially stifled Antar and other smaller businesses was repealed in 1972. Antar’s aggressive discounting and colorful personality enabled him to prepare for a business expansion — he moved to a larger store on Kings Highway, then opened a location in the Long Island town of Syosset in 1973 and in the heart of Manhattan in 1975.\nAntar recognized how his larger competitors used advertising to their advantage, and in 1972 he began marketing his business over the airwaves via WPIX-FM, a popular music station that mixed rock oldies with current Top 40 hits. Antar created an ad copy script that would be read live on the air by Jerry Carroll, one of the station’s disk jockeys. But Carroll decided to improvise, reading the copy in a mock-frenzied manner and creating a new closing line with “Crazy Eddie — his prices are in-saaaaaaaaane.”\nRather than be upset by the deviation to the script, Antar was ecstatic with Carroll’s flippant approach as his delivery stood out wildly from the other advertising running on the station. Antar contracted Carroll to be his on-air pitchman for radio, and in 1975 Carroll was brought in front of the cameras for a television campaign.\nIt was through the television commercials Crazy Eddie became the center of consumer attention. For the next 10 years, the commercials offered endless variations on the same set-up: Carroll wore the same outfit — a dark blazer and a turtleneck sweater — and stood surrounded by displays of the electronics being peddled.\nEach commercial ran about 30 seconds, but Carroll spoke so rapidly that it seemed he was trying to cover 60 seconds of a script in half of his allotted time.\nCarroll’s physical delivery was comically spastic, with flailing arms, bulging eyes and the most manic smile this side of the Joker.\nHe would inevitably challenge shoppers to “shop around, get the best prices you can find, then bring ’em to Crazy Eddie and he’ll beat ’em.” And each commercial ended with Carroll stretching his arms out while proclaiming, “Crazy Eddie — his prices are in-saaaaaaaaane.”\nThere would be a few variations to the presentation, including a Christmas season ad campaign and a “Christmas in August” summertime effort with Carroll dressed in a Santa suit while being pelted with Styrofoam snowballs and papery snowflakes.\nA couple of movie spoof spots put Carroll in parodies of “Casablanca,” “Saturday Night Fever,” “Superman” and “10,” and one ad had a man in a gorilla suit grunting dialogue while subtitles offered simian-to-English translations.\nNot So Funny:After the commercials came on in full force, Crazy Eddie generated $350 million in annual revenue during its prime years.\nBut as Crazy Eddie grew, Antar’s approach to business became more problematic: cash payments were not recorded, the sales tax was pocketed and employees received off-the-books pay rather than paychecks that clearly deducted federal and state taxes.\nAntar helped finance his cousin Sam Antar’s college education and brought him on as a chief financial officer, but Sam would later recall this was not done out of love of family.\n“The whole purpose of the business was to commit premeditated fraud,” Sam recounted in an interview with MentalFloss.com. “My family put me through college to help them commit more sophisticated fraud in the future. I was trained to be a criminal.\n\"People have a certain idea of Crazy Eddie — in reality, it was a dark criminal enterprise.”\nAntar initially kept his ill-gotten gains hidden within his home, but later began sending the money far into the world. Offshore bank accounts in Canada, Gibraltar, Israel, Liberia, Luxembourg, Panama and Switzerland were set up, and by the early 1980s, Antar and his family were skimming upwards of $4 million annually in unreported income and unpaid taxes.\nEventually, the graft became too big to easily hide. The solution, Antar theorized, was not to hide but to be in the greatest spotlight imaginable: Antar decided to take Crazy Eddie public.\nHello, Wall Street:Crazy Eddie conducted its initial public offering on Sept. 13, 1984, taking the NASDAQ symbol CRZY. The popularity of the television commercials helped bring in the initial wave of investor interest, while gourmet-level cooked books gave the phony impression of a well-run retail operation.\nTwo years after first trading at $8 a share, Crazy Eddie stock was at a split-adjusted $75 per share.\nWhy Antar believed he could continue with his shenanigans amid the added scrutiny given to public companies is a mystery, but by 1987 he found himself in lethal shoals.\nThe increased retail competition saw Crazy Eddie’s sales decline, resulting in a tumbling stock price.\nAntar announced his resignation in December 1986, but four months later he shocked shareholders by revealing he never stepped down — and while still at the helm, he sold off his shares in the company, gaining about $30 million in the transaction.\nThe company had begun planning to go private when an outside investor group successfully agitated to take over what they believed to be a struggling but respectable company. But when their auditors came in, they were flabbergasted to find grossly exaggerated inventories of up to $28 million, $20 million in phony debit memos to vendors and sales reports that were closer to fiction than accountancy.\nThe chain went bankrupt in 1989 and was forced to shut down its retail network. Federal and state investigations overwhelmed what remained of the Crazy Eddie and Antar was hit with an endless flurry of lawsuits.\n\"By any measure, this is a staggering securities fraud,\" saidMichael Chertoff, the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, who accused the Antars of creating \"a giant bubble\" rather than a successful business.\nBy 1990, Antar disappeared after failing to appear at a court hearing. He obtained a phony U.S. passport issued to “Harry Page Shalom” and left the country. After a two-year global search, he was located in 1992 in a Tel Aviv suburb living under the name Alexander Stewart.\nAntar was brought back to the U.S. to find his cousin Sam Antar had taken a plea deal with federal prosecutors and agreed to testify against him in court.\n“There’s no better motivator than a 20-year prison term,” Sam Antar stated. “I didn’t cooperate because I found God. I cooperated to save my ass.”\nIn July 2013, Antar was found guilty of 17 counts of fraud and sentenced to 12½ years in prison. Two years later, his verdicts were overturned on appeal.\nRather than face the stress of another trial, Antar pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges in May 1996 and was sentenced in 1997 to eight years in prison.\nThe Legend Lives On:Antar was released after four years in prison and federal law enforcement officials managed to find more than $120 million from his offshore bank accounts, which was repaid to investors.\nSeveral attempts occurred over the subsequent years to revive the Crazy Eddie brand, first as a brick-and-mortar retailer and then as an e-commerce venture, but all of these efforts failed.\nIn June 2019,Jon Turteltaub, the director of the “National Treasure” film franchise, announced plans to make a biopic about Antar. But that project has yet to come to life.\nMany of the Crazy Eddie commercials can be found on YouTube, and marketing experts consider them to be among the most imaginative and successful examples of television advertising.\nAntar stayed out of the public light after leaving prison and died of complications from liver cancer on Sept. 10, 2016. He never publicly spoke about his past, although in a brief late-life exchange with a Newark Star-Ledger reporter he acknowledged the unique impact he had on retailing.\n“Everybody knows Crazy Eddie,” he said. “What can I tell you? I changed the business. I changed the whole business.”","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1419,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":164953008,"gmtCreate":1624167385304,"gmtModify":1703830027640,"author":{"id":"3585275877804031","authorId":"3585275877804031","name":"JilQ","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cb3139dd245c3734bfe1d9a9064f8d8","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3585275877804031","idStr":"3585275877804031"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"[OK]&nbsp;","listText":"[OK]&nbsp;","text":"[OK]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/164953008","repostId":"1168762020","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1962,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
