Robert Way/iStock Editorial via Getty Images I've retained a 'Buy' rating for Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited ( SUHJY ) (0016.HK). The stock's current 36% NAV discount is too wide in my opinion. My bullishness is reflective of SUHJY's first-half results beat and the presence of re-rating catalysts. Bottom-Line Expanded Faster In Recent Interim Period I outlined expectations of "an earnings growth acceleration" and "dividend hikes" in the earlier September 12, 2025, article . My predictions have materialized with its latest financials released on Thursday, Feb 26. SUHJY's net profit was 17% higher YoY at HK$12.2B for 1HFY26 (YE June). It represented 53% of the consensus full-year projection, implying a positive surprise. That's also way better than the +1% growth recorded in FY2025. There were a number of factors contributing to the firm's solid results in my view. Its Mainland Chinese residential property operations did exceptionally well. This division's Jul-Dec '25 "Operating Profit/OP" surged by almost 16-fold year-on-year to HK$2.9B. Recently-Concluded Real Estate Developments 1HFY2026 Announcement SUHJY's "ICC Residence" and "IFC Mansion" mentioned above, were the assets that drove most of its OP increase for the interim period. Its earnings disclosure emphasized that "IFC Mansion" stood out "for its breathtaking view, unique rooftop gardens, and magnificent designs." This helps me to understand why this segment's OPM widened by 19.6 ppts from 1HFY25's 29.3% to 1HFY26's 48.9%. My Sep '25 write-up talked about how the group used to be "hurt by a heavy debt burden" which is "less of a concern now." It has continued to deleverage. The "net gearing" metric was 4.3 ppts lower YoY for the recent interim period. This resulted in its net finance cost declining 44% YoY to HK$0.18B. I'm also encouraged by SUHJY's portfolio streamlining moves. The 1HFY2026 income derived from the monetization of non-core properties rose 59% to HK$1.83B on a YoY basis. Critically, the grou...

Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images News Berkshire Hathaway’s ( BRK.B ) ( BRK.A ) changing of the guard will be front and center on Saturday, when CEO Greg Abel delivers his first letter to shareholders, marking the end of Warren Buffett’s legendary six-decade-long leadership of the investing behemoth. While Abel shared the dais with Buffett at the company’s 2025 annual meeting, investors will still be adjusting to the new management tone and style. Don’t expect any tectonic shifts in leadership, though. Abel has vowed to maintain Berkshire Hathaway’s unique culture. Both the Q4 earnings and the letter to shareholders will come out at 8:00 AM ET on Saturday. One thing that Buffett, who remains chairman, has promised is that Berkshire Hathaway will always have a large pile of cash. At Sept. 30, 2025, the stash stood at $381.7B. Any reduction in that amount signals that the company found compelling investment opportunities. Abel is likely to discuss where he sees investing opportunities in the current environment. "The first year won't be easy, as all of his steps will be watched closely by the public and compared against the legend, Buffett," said SA Analyst Millennial Dividends . The first burning question, perhaps, is, what will he do with the $380B cash pile? The SA analyst also muses about the potential for Berkshire to issue a dividend, something Buffett allowed only once in his tenure. SA Analyst Bohdan Kucheriavyi considers Berkshire’s shares to be undervalued. If Buffett and Abel agree, the company may have bought back some of its shares in Q4 after pausing buybacks for five quarters. Another point of speculation is whether Abel will eventually divest Berkshire Hathaway's 27.5% stake in Kraft Heinz ( KHC ), which Buffett describes as one of his biggest blunders. Earlier this month, Kraft Heinz halted its plan to split Kraft from Heinz to return the business to profitable growth. The biggest part of Berkshire’s wholly owned operating business is insurance, which includ...

Apple’s Houston Expansion Puts U.S. Manufacturing And AI At Center Stage simplywall.st

jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Block stock gained 13% in Friday midday trading, paring from the 20%+ jump it experienced in Thursday after-hours trading. The stock action came after the payment tech company unveiled a stunning headcount reduction, delivered strong Q4 earnings, and boosted its 2026 guidance. Much of analysts' attention focused on the ~40% headcount cut announcement and what it means down the road. Some expressed concern about the amount of disruption the cuts may have on its operations. Morningstar analyst Brett Horn has observed other payment companies prioritizing near-term profitability and reducing investment, only to backtrack when longer-term growth was hurt. "However, those situations had nothing to do with AI, and it is possible that management is proactively adapting to a positive long-term shift in the business's economics," he wrote. Horn keeps an uncertainty rating of Very High on Block ( XYZ ). Evercore ISI analyst Adam Frisch expects other companies to follow in Block's footsteps as gen-AI gains traction. "At its core, it’s about how some companies may be run going forward—not just doomsday headcount reductions, but also enabling higher ROI investments in growth and FCF," he wrote in a note to clients. He has a Buy rating on XYZ. Citi analyst Bryan Keane, who also rates Block ( XYZ ) a Buy, noted, "On the one hand, XYZ seemed confident in the organization’s ability to adapt and rise to the challenge, but on the other hand, we are aware that a 40% reduction in heads should generate many empty seats. While we believe it more likely for XYZ to succeed here, we think that more reassurance can surface should XYZ continue to do as they plan." BTIG analyst Andrew Harte, also with Buy rating on Block ( XYZ ), expects that the stock would have risen 10% or more on its strong Q4 earnings and its FY2026 gross profit guidance. Overall, Block's ( XYZ ) top- and bottom-line beats were led by its Cash App, Square gross profit margin wa...

A group of low-fee paying private schools have challenged the government's removal of the VAT exemption.

In this article CRWV Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 4:30 04:30 Demand for AI infrastructure has been relentless, says CoreWeave CEO Mike Intrator Squawk on the Street Coreweave CEO Mike Intrator backed up the company's massive spending plans during an interview with CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Friday as shares dropped post-earnings on profitability worries. Intrator told CNBC that Coreweave has willingly chosen to invest in more infrastructure and take a margin hit to meet the "once in a generation moment" for capacity demand. "I understand the concerns that people have as they see us allocating a massive scale of money to this market, but the truth of the matter is, our backlog is enormous," he said. Coreweave's stock plummeted nearly 20% on disappointing revenue guidance. The New Jersey-based company also said it plans to spend between $30 billion and $35 billion in 2026. That surpassed a FactSet estimate of $26.9 billion and fueled profitability worries. Concerns have mounted recently over the long-term sustainability of Coreweave's debt load and business model. The company relies on debt to finance purchases of advanced AI Nvidia chips, which it then rents out. Most of its revenue also hinges heavily on a small group of hyperscalers and AI companies, including Microsoft and OpenAI . When asked whether troubles in the credit market could lead to higher costs of capital, Intrator said he expects costs to continue to decline. "That narrative is out there, but the data does not support it in any way, shape, or form," he said. "Our cost of capital over the last 12 months has come down 300 basis points." Calculated across the company's debt load, Intrator said those 300 basis points equate to $700 million in savings and that costs have come down 600 basis points over the last two years.

Brutal: Democrats Walked Straight Into This Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, A new advertisement from conservative group American Sovereignty hammers Democrats for staying seated during President Trump’s State of the Union call to prioritize American citizens over illegal aliens, using footage that lays bare their priorities. The ad, which dropped Thursday, features Trump stating, “If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.” Republicans rose in applause while Democrats remained glued to their seats, with overlays labeling the divide and accusing Dems of siding with “illegal immigrant criminals.” The spot cuts to Trump’s “These people are crazy” remark before closing with “Republicans are for you.” As we highlighted in previous coverage , Democrats’ behavior during the SOTU revealed whose side they’re on—and it’s not the American people. Many boycotted the event or sat through applause for victims of illegal alien crime, exposing their allegiance to open borders over citizen safety. They doubled down afterward, with figures like Debbie Wasserman Schultz labeling the speech “absolutely revolting” for prioritizing Americans. Even more telling, Rep. Rashida Tlaib appeared to chant “KKK” while Republicans chanted “USA!”—a moment ripe for its own ad. The ad’s release comes as Republicans eye midterms, with a GOP spokesperson telling the Washington Examiner that vulnerable House Democrats should “get comfortable re-watching the moment they revealed they’re nothing more than America-hating scums who stayed glued to their seats.” The Democrats handed Republicans a raft of campaign material just in time for the midterms. They don’t even try to hide their hate for Americans If they can’t stand for ‘protect Americans first,’ what exactly are they standing for? This ad marks the first in a seven-figure blitz targeting battleground states like Nor...

da-kuk Despite its reputation for dramatic price swings and headline-grabbing rallies, bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) has trailed the broader U.S. equity market over the past five years. The digital token, which currently trades near $66,000, has gained approximately 42% over the half-decade period. While that advance underscores bitcoin’s resilience following multiple boom-and-bust cycles, it falls short of the performance delivered by large-cap U.S. stocks. Over the same timeframe, the benchmark S&P 500 ( SP500 ) — now hovering around 6,875—has climbed roughly 80%. The index’s return is nearly double that of bitcoin, reflecting sustained corporate earnings growth, strong participation from mega-cap technology firms, and continued investor appetite for equities despite intermittent volatility. The comparison may come as a surprise to some market participants, particularly given bitcoin’s outsized rallies during certain stretches. However, sharp drawdowns in 2022, 2026, and periods of consolidation have tempered its cumulative five-year performance. While bitcoin remains a highly watched asset within the digital currency ecosystem and a popular vehicle for speculative capital, recent data suggest that traditional equities have offered superior risk-adjusted returns over the medium term. The divergence also highlights how portfolio outcomes can vary significantly depending on asset allocation and entry timing.
