Hong Kong recorded a 17 per cent growth in investment in the first quarter of the year driven mainly by machinery purchases and construction-related activities, according to the city’s finance chief, reflecting a steadily improving property market. Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po on Sunday acknowledged a gap in perceived economic growth among residents working in different sectors as the city recorded its fastest quarterly GDP rise in nearly five years of 5.9 per cent. But he remained...
Michael Vi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images I argue that every company has an "inflection point" in terms of valuation. Every company has a price, or a valuation, where the upside becomes too good to ignore, essentially. Sometimes that price may actually be negative, as in a negative share price. For some companies, you simply don't want to own if you don't actually get paid for the privilege. Bu...
Michael Vi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images I argue that every company has an "inflection point" in terms of valuation. Every company has a price, or a valuation, where the upside becomes too good to ignore, essentially. Sometimes that price may actually be negative, as in a negative share price. For some companies, you simply don't want to own if you don't actually get paid for the privilege. But those are few. Usually, the share price for a company that I'd be willing to own is positive, and it can be bought. So every company analysis, every idea I do, essentially comes down to - at what price do I believe that the company becomes so attractive that it would be folly to ignore the clear and present upside to the business in the longer term? That's the core question I ask, and in turn answer, using the valuation known as the price target and the fair value target. In exclusive IG articles, I give both of these targets in full, complete with all considerations to the company. Siemens Healthineers ( SEMHF ) is the company on today's "target list". This is neither the first time that I've covered it nor the first time I've bought it. But the company's share price has been through some very interesting trends as of late, which to me necessitates or justifies a new look here as of the latest results. There are ideas all over the place on how you should allocate capital. How you put $100k in options, derivatives, REITs, yield-paying stocks, or various strategies. My strategy is very simple. I find undervalued equity, meaning parts of companies that are cheaper than they should be for what they represent, using fundamental techniques coupled with very conservative valuation approaches. I invest in these companies conservatively, meaning in a diversified manner - never more than 5% of the total. I then sell/rotate when they become fully valued or overvalued. Rinse and repeat. This is how I build wealth - and it works for me. So let's look at Siemens Healthineers Siemens H...
MP says that unless a cabinet minister comes forward to challenge the PM by tomorrow that she will Good morning. There were many predictions for Labour’s future ahead of the English, Scottish and Welsh elections, which have been terrible for the party, but there is one outcome foreseen by no one: a leadership challenge by Catherine West . West, MP for Hornsey and Friern Barnet and a junior Foreign...
MP says that unless a cabinet minister comes forward to challenge the PM by tomorrow that she will Good morning. There were many predictions for Labour’s future ahead of the English, Scottish and Welsh elections, which have been terrible for the party, but there is one outcome foreseen by no one: a leadership challenge by Catherine West . West, MP for Hornsey and Friern Barnet and a junior Foreign Office minister until she was sacked in the reshuffle last year, announced yesterday afternoon that, unless a cabinet minister comes forward to challenge Starmer for the Labour leadership by tomorrow morning, she will do it herself. She would need the support of 81 Labour MPs to trigger a contest; there is no evidence that she has those numbers and (for reasons that are probably a mystery to anyone under the age of 50 – more on that later) she is being described as a stalking horse. I’m not going to walk away from the job I was elected to do in July 2024. I’m not going to plunge the country into chaos. Continue reading...
