Intel $Intel(INTC)$  is back in focus today after reports that Apple Inc. $Apple(AAPL)$  has held early-stage discussions with both Intel and Samsung Electronics $CSOP Samsung Electronics Daily (2x) Leveraged Product(07747)$  to potentially manufacture its core processors. While nothing concrete has materialised yet, even exploratory engagement from Apple is enough to shift sentiment, especially as Intel's foundry ambitions hinge on landing high-profile customers. The market reaction—Intel up in premarket—reflects how starved the narrative has been for credible external validation. Strategically, this signals Ap

$AJJ Medtech(584.SI)$   List-Co Update AJJ Medtech announced that Dr Tan Wei Jie will be appointed Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director with effect from 15 May 2026, while Ms Zhao Xin will step down from both roles on the same date and continue to support the company as a senior strategic adviser. The announcement makes clear that this is more than a routine management change. The board said the group is moving from platform development into execution and commercialization. Put simply, Ms Zhao was more associated with the 0-to-1 phase of platform building, while Dr Tan appears to be positioned for the 1-to-10 phase of scaling execution, revenue delivery and operating discipline. Dr Tan holds a PhD in Nanomedicine and Materia

$CSE Global(544.SI)$ 2 Target Price. CSE Global: Powering the Data Centre Boom When Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) secured rights to acquire up to 63 million shares in CSE Global (SGX: 544) in November 2025, the move validated the systems integrator's pivot towards data centres. CSE Global strategic partnership with Amazon, extending through 2030, signals where the cloud giant sees opportunity in CSE Global cutting-edge power conservation technology. AI workloads are notoriously power-hungry, requiring massive computing infrastructure with sophisticated electrification and automation systems. CSE Global, operating across 15 countries with over 2,000 staff, delivers precisely these capabilities. For the first nine months of 2025 (9M2025), revenue rose 8.7% year on year (YoY) to S$698.6 million. The

Memory Lane. I am feeling a little generous today. In fact, I am afire with the need to tell you a story, one of “innocent-ignorance” dating back to 2021. I have casually mentioned on different occasions that when I first started getting interested in US stocks, it was right smack at when SPACs came into prominence. It was a time when the US stock market was on unsustainable high, almost on a daily basis, where a company’s fundamentals took a back seat and was a secondary concern. It was also a time where Youtube gurus were all the rage and each of them were pushing out minimally two or more videos on US stocks. I followed a handful of them and Cathie Woods was featured in heavy rotation by one of the Fin Tubers. On 15 Jan 2021, I invested in $Cohu(CO

Palantir Earnings Crush. U.S. Revenue Surges 104% and Backlog Soars $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$   reported its FY26 Q1 earnings, with results coming in significantly above market expectations. Revenue, profitability, and order metrics all strengthened, further reinforcing its leadership in the AI software space. Earnings Snapshot: Revenue $1.63B (vs. $1.54B est., +85% Y/Y, +16% Q/Q) Adjusted EPS $0.33 (vs. $0.28 est.) Adjusted Operating Income $984M (60% margin) U.S. Government Revenue $687M (vs. $0.61B est.) U.S. Commercial Revenue $0.595B (vs. $0.603B est.) From a growth mix perspective, the U.S. remains the core driver: total U.S. revenue reached $1.28B (+104% Y/Y, +19% Q/Q), with U.S. government

The AI Boom’s Most Uncomfortable Question Super Micro Computer has become the stock market equivalent of a Formula One car being rebuilt while still racing at 300 kilometres per hour. One side of the market sees an AI infrastructure champion powering the next phase of Nvidia’s Blackwell rollout. The other sees a company drowning in legal risk, collapsing margins, and geopolitical scrutiny. Personally, I think both camps are right — and that is precisely what makes $SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC(SMCI)$ one of the most fascinating stocks in the market today. Most AI commentary still treats Nvidia as the sole protagonist of the artificial intelligence boom. Yet the uncomfortable truth is that GPUs are useless without the server infrastructure surrounding

$Walt Disney(DIS)$ is scheduled to report its fiscal Q2 2026 earnings tomorrow, Wednesday, May 6, 2026, before the market opens. The stock has been in a broad consolidation phase, recently trading around the $101–$102 level. With a bearish longer-term trend since 2025, this report is a critical "prove it" moment for the streaming profitability narrative. Q2 2026 Forecast & Estimates Analysts are looking for modest top-line growth but are highly focused on bottom-line margin expansion, particularly in the Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) segment. Consensus EPS: $1.49 (vs. $1.45 in Q2 2025). Based on tipranks.com, the consensus EPS forecast is expected at $1.49. Consensus Revenue: $24.85 billion (expected +5% YoY). Whisper Number: The sentiment is slight

The NACHO Narrative & How XLE ETF Is A Good Tactical Play 🌟🌟🌟 The political arena is serving up some spicy new terminology and while it might sound like a late night snack, the implications for your portfolio is anything but light. Here is a lowdown on the latest NACHO nickname and why it makes $Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLE)$  a compelling tactical play right now. The NACHO Narrative  Just when we thought the food themed acronyms had peaked with TACO - Trump Always Chickens Out, Wall Street traders have doubled down with NACHO : Not A Chance Hormuz Opens.

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ $Amazon.com(AMZN)$  $Alphabet(GOOGL)$  📊📈 Earnings Regime Shift: Explosive Beats, Collapsing Misses, Structural Upside Bias 📈📊 🧠 A statistically significant inflection is now undeniable This is not a routine “beat season.” The distribution itself has shifted. With 61% of S&P 500 constituents beating by more than one standard deviation versus a 49% long-run average, upside outcomes are dominating in a way that historically aligns with durable market strength.

Today my stock in focus will be Xiaomi Corporation $XIAOMI-W(01810)$  $Xiaomi Corp.(XIACY)$  , as momentum in Hong Kong tech names continues to build with strong sector-wide volatility and upside. Xiaomi surged more than 10%, alongside strength in peers like Alibaba, Baidu, and Kuaishou, suggesting this is not just a single-name move but part of a broader risk-on rotation in China tech. What really stands out is the continued acceleration in Xiaomi's EV business. Xiaomi Auto delivered over 30,000 vehicles in April alone, up 50% month-on-month, marking a new growth milestone. Cumulative deliveries of 109,000 units in just four months highlight improving execu

$SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC(SMCI)$ is scheduled to report its fiscal third-quarter 2026 results tomorrow, Tuesday, May 5, 2026, after the market close. The stock has been highly volatile leading up to this print, trading around $27.00–$28.00 after a significant recovery from its late-2024 lows. Investors are primarily looking for stabilization in margins and clarity on the "Blackwell" GPU ramp-up. Q3 2026 Earnings Consensus Estimates Super Micro Computer (SMCI) reported its fiscal second-quarter 2026 results on February 3, 2026. The report was a massive "beat and raise" on the top line, though it underscored the growing pains of scaling AI infrastructure at such a rapid pace.

Energy First, Compute Second I see Arm Holdings as the market’s clearest bet that AI’s next constraint will not be compute, but energy. At roughly $211, with a trailing P/E approaching 280x and a forward multiple still above 100x, the stock is not reflecting what the business is—it is reflecting what the infrastructure will demand. If energy becomes the bottleneck, Arm is essential. If it does not, the valuation begins to look like a very expensive assumption. AI’s real ceiling isn’t compute—it’s electricity From Architect to Toll Collector I find the most misunderstood part of Arm’s story lies in its transition from licensing intellectual property to selling higher-value compute subsystems. Historically, $ARM Holdings(ARM)$ was the architect—desig

$Strategy(MSTR)$ is scheduled to report its fiscal Q1 2026 earnings on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, after the market close. Given our focus on options and earnings volatility, MSTR is a unique case because it trades less like a software company and more like a high-beta Bitcoin ETF. Below is a breakdown of the key metrics and potential short-term trading opportunities. Key Earnings Estimates (Q1 2026) Wall Street expectations are heavily skewed by the accounting of Bitcoin holdings, leading to significant variance in EPS estimates. MicroStrategy (MSTR) reported its fiscal Q4 2025 results on February 5, 2026.

$UnitedHealth(UNH)$   Investment banker Goldman Sachs recently raised its price target for UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (UNH) shares from $400 to $435, citing the company’s increased full-year guidance, announced in its latest quarterly results release, as evidence of UnitedHealth’s long-term earnings growth potential (as cited in Investing.com). Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS | GS Price Prediction) added UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH) stock to its U.S. Conviction List, reiterating a Buy rating with a $435 price target. The firm argues UnitedHealth is nearing the bottom of its underwriting cycle in Medicare Advantage (MA), which represents 40% of its business.

As of early 2026, it manages approximately $744 billion in assets, operating across private equity, credit, infrastructure, real estate, and capital markets. Known for its hands-on “one-firm” approach, KKR aims for operational excellence in its portfolio companies, holding investments for 5–7 years. The firm has evolved into a diversified alternative asset manager, including a major insurance business through Global Atlantic. Led by co-CEOs Joe Bae and Scott Nuttall, KKR operates

The Market’s First Real AI Reckoning I see Microsoft not as a participant in the AI trade, but as its first genuine stress test—where ambition, capital, and monetisation collide in plain sight. After a sharp stumble in early 2026, $Microsoft(MSFT)$ has become the market’s most consequential question mark. It is no longer enough that the company leads in AI. What matters now is whether that leadership produces incremental profit, or simply gets absorbed into an already dominant ecosystem. That distinction is where the entire debate sits. The Hidden Risk: Giving AI Away Too Cheaply AI dominance means little if pricing power quietly evaporates I believe the real battleground is not technological leadership, but pricing architecture.

Zuckerberg is no longer being judged on earnings beats—he is being judged on whether $40 billion in AI spending will compound like AWS or combust like the metaverse with better branding Meta is once again doing what it does best: making investors richer, twitchier and occasionally behave as though a 30% profit margin is some sort of corporate distress signal. This time, the market’s anxiety is not about user growth, regulators or TikTok-inspired existential dread. It is about capital allocation—specifically Meta’s decision to drive annual capital expenditure towards roughly $35–$40 billion in AI infrastructure, data centres and computing power. For context, this is not a modest budget increase. It is one of the largest strategic spending surges in modern Big Tech, and a dramatic pivot from
