UI Boustead REIT is set to begin trading Thursday after an initial public offering that raised about S$ 973.6 million ($764 million), Singapore’s biggest this year so far. The real estate investment trust priced 1.1 billion units at $0.88 apiece in the deal. The offering received orders for about 3.3 times the number of units on sale in its placement tranche, which excludes cornerstone and retail investors. The retail portion in Singapore was about 2.9 times oversubscribed. The IPO builds on the city-state’s recent momentum in share-sale activity, after years of lackluster performance in the deals space. Singapore IPOs raised $1.9 billion last year to notch the highest proceeds since 2019, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. So far this year, excluding UI Boustead REIT’s listing, total proceeds from IPO are just a bit over $20 million, the data show. The IPO is among the largest for REITs in recent years, even in a stock market where REITs make up around 10% of the Singapore exchange’s market capitalization, according to the REIT Association of Singapore. NTT DC REIT last year raised $773 million, while Centurion Accommodation REIT raised about $600 million.

Citigroup Inc., DBS Group Holdings Ltd. and United Overseas Bank Ltd. are among those arranging the listing.

AG Bondi Moves To Secure Military Housing After Threats, Joining Other Trump Officials Attorney General Pam Bondi has reportedly moved into heavily guarded housing at a military base in the Washington area after receiving multiple threats. Several sources familiar with the situation say the threats came from drug cartels as well as political critics, prompting the relocation. Bondi joins a growing list of Donald Trump administration officials who now live at secure military facilities in and around the nation’s capital due to heightened security concerns. “Ms. Bondi moved from an apartment in the city within the past month in response to an array of threats flagged to her staff by federal law enforcement, these people said, including an uptick in criticism of Ms. Bondi, and threats relayed by investigators,” the New York Times reports . “One catalyst was an increase in threats following the capture and prosecution of President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela in January, according to a senior official with direct knowledge of the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss security matters.” The threats against Trump administration officials are very real. For example, Trump advisor Stephen Miller and his family were subjected to repeated protests outside their Arlington, Virginia home, including activists posting fliers in their neighborhood with their home address, branding him a “Nazi” and accusing him of “crimes against humanity.” Protesters with Arlington Neighbors United for Humanity also chalked messages on the sidewalk accusing him of “destroying democracy,” “kidnapping,” and “White nationalism,” and the group warned the couple on Instagram that their efforts to “dismantle our democracy” would not be tolerated. His wife, Katie Miller, also recounted that a protester told her, “I’m watching you,” as she left their house. Other officials living on a military base include Sec. of State Marco Rubio, Sec. of Defense Pete Hegseth, and outgoing DHS Sec....

All the front pages lead with the release of documents relating to Lord Mandelson's appointment as UK ambassador to the US. He was sacked in September, following new revelations about the extent of his friendship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. "Starmer did ignore Epstein warnings" is the Independent's headline, writing "documents show the prime minister [Sir Keir Starmer] was told Lord Mandelson had 'close ties' with Jeffrey Epstein even after the financier was convicted of procuring an underage girl". Sir Keir has maintained he did not know "the extent and depth" of Lord Mandelson's relationship with Epstein when he appointed him.

Find your next quality investment with Simply Wall St's easy and powerful screener, trusted by over 7 million individual investors worldwide. Amazon.com (NasdaqGS:AMZN) has launched "Amazon Now" 15 minute delivery in Brazil, entering ultrafast grocery and convenience delivery in Latin America’s largest e commerce market. In the US, Amazon is rolling out more direct to consumer features, including AI assisted "Buy for Me" shopping and expanded third party integrations for merchants. The company also secured a legal decision limiting the use of external AI bots on its marketplace, affecting how outside tools can access Amazon product data. Separately, Amazon’s Zoox unit reached an agreement with Uber to bring Zoox robotaxis onto the Uber ride hailing platform. For you as an investor, these moves touch several parts of Amazon’s business at once, from e commerce and logistics to AI tools and autonomous vehicles. Brazil’s 15 minute delivery launch puts Amazon directly into quick commerce in a large, competitive market. In the US, the "Buy for Me" features and new merchant tools highlight how the core retail platform is using AI inside the shopping experience rather than relying on outside intermediaries. Amazon’s legal win over external AI bots points to tighter control over data access, which could matter as more shopping decisions are influenced by AI tools. The Zoox Uber deal gives Amazon a way to put its robotaxis in front of existing ride hailing demand. This could serve as a testbed for how autonomous mobility might contribute to future revenue streams and partnerships beyond retail.

Find your next quality investment with Simply Wall St's easy and powerful screener, trusted by over 7 million individual investors worldwide. JD.com (NasdaqGS:JD) has drawn investor interest after recent share price swings, with the stock posting mixed returns over the past month and past 3 months, and a 1 year total return that remains negative. See our latest analysis for JD.com. The recent 7 day share price return of 10.67% suggests short term momentum is building, although the 1 year total shareholder return of 28.36% and 5 year total shareholder return of 63.79% highlight a tougher longer term experience for holders. If JD.com’s recent rebound has you rethinking where growth might come from next, it could be a good time to scan our list of 20 top founder-led companies as potential new ideas. With JD.com trading at $28.11, alongside an indicated discount to some valuation estimates and a stretch of weak multi year returns, the key question is whether this represents a genuine entry point or if the market already reflects its future growth. Most Popular Narrative: 66% Undervalued According to the most followed narrative, JD.com’s fair value sits at $82.68, well above the last close of $28.11, which puts a spotlight on how ambitious those assumptions are. Stimulus Linkage: Consumer subsidies and employment targets (12 million urban jobs)[1] bolster discretionary spending. Read the complete narrative. Curious how consumer subsidies, rural expansion, and higher margins all feed into that fair value estimate. The narrative leans heavily on future profitability and market reach. Want to see the full playbook behind that pricing gap. Result: Fair Value of $82.68 (UNDERVALUED) Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts. However, that playbook can break quickly if consumer subsidies fade sooner than expected or if JD.com’s logistics investments fail to translate into stronger margins.
