$Alphabet(GOOGL.US)

Context: I actually think the Cloud/AI numbers are more important than the temporary cash-flow hit. Google has a US$514B Cloud backlog, and its TPU business is becoming another potential AI revenue stream.

My trade: I am constantly adding a little bit more when the price below 330.

Takeaway:

GOOGL is one of my top preferred mega-cap AI plays at current levels. The interesting thing is that you're not paying purely for an AI story—you get Search, YouTube, Cloud, Gemini, TPUs and Waymo underneath it.

The biggest risk is not that Google suddenly becomes a bad company. It's that Alphabet spends so aggressively on AI that the return on that enormous capex disappoints investors.

$Sembcorp Ind(U96.SG)

Context: Analyst target‑price range varies across brokers, with near‑term pressure from power‑spread volatility and acquisition‑related debt, long‑term support from renewable‑energy assets and power‑purchase agreements, dividend‑policy adjustments in recent interim results.

My trade: Bought Sembcorp shares at an average cost of SGD 5.752. Have more in other accounts. other than banks, this is my biggest holding.

Takeaway: Multiple brokers have mixed‑to‑constructive outlooks with varying price targets; monitor 2H earnings from acquired assets, power‑market spreads, and dividend updates. My target price is at 7. Will start to sell by then.

$Sembcorp Ind(U96.SG)

testing

$Sembcorp Ind(U96.SG)

Context: Sembcorp has some near-term earnings pressure, but Alinta and the expected 2H recovery provide potential catalysts.

My trade: I progressively bought it when the prices were below 6.

Takeaway: HOLD, I won't add aggressively. The average is already below the current market area and gives a reasonable margin of safety. If Sembcorp falls toward S$5.50–5.60 without a fundamental deterioration, I'd be more interested in adding. If it reaches S$6.80–7.30, I'd start considering taking some profit rather than waiting indefinitely for an even higher price.

$Sembcorp Ind(U96.SG)

Context:

Sembcorp benefits from Singapore’s energy‑transition plans, renewable‑energy growth and stable utility cash flows, but is exposed to commodity price swings, interest‑rate risks and construction‑project delays.

My trade:

I hold Sembcorp Industries with an average cost of SGD 5.862 per share.

Takeaway:

Sembcorp has defensive utility‑style cash flow plus renewable‑growth upside, but it is sensitive to interest rates and macro conditions. I should watch its quarterly earnings, dividend policy and long‑term energy‑transition progress; always manage position size and be prepared for share‑price volatility.

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)

Context:

The AI infrastructure story therefore remains intact. Dell's latest results are also a good external confirmation: its AI-server orders are booming, and those servers heavily use NVIDIA GPUs.

My trade:

I would HOLD / ACCUMULATE on meaningful dips, rather than chase at $220+.

Takeaway:

NVDA remains one of my strongest long-term AI holdings, but I wouldn't aggressively buy at $217.

My preferred strategy is to hold existing shares → add around $200–205 → add more around $185–190 → aggressively add below $170.

I would not buy NVDA because of this $3.5B deal. But if you're already bullish on NVDA's long-term moat, this announcement strengthens the thesis considerably.

I wouldn't chase NVDA at $228 just because the earnings were fantastic.

But I also wouldn't sell a good NVDA position simply because it has risen sharply.

The earnings changed the fundamental picture. Nvidia is no longer merely saying "AI demand is strong." It's effectively saying AI demand is strong enough that we expect another ~70% year of growth after an already enormous revenue base. That's a very powerful signal.

The biggest risk is not actually a rate hike announcement. It's Warsh making the market realize that 2026 rate cuts are not the easy base case anymore.

@Nvidia The biggest positive is not just that Nvidia beat estimates. It's that the company effectively told the market that:

AI infrastructure demand is still nowhere near finished. 🎉 Hooray

$Sembcorp Ind(U96.SG)

Context:

50% of Sembcorp is held by Temasek. Sembcorp Industries is no longer just a traditional Singapore utility. The investment story is increasingly about energy transition + power demand from data centres/AI + international expansion.

My trade: Closed. It's my third biggest holdings in Sg market, after banks only.

Take away: Singapore's data-centre expansion means demand for reliable electricity should remain strong. Sembcorp already has around 1GW of contracted power load associated with this demand.

That gives Sembcorp exposure to the AI boom without having to buy an AI semiconductor stock.

Hey. thanks for the invite. Sent the request.

recently the price always dropped after earnings release. The expectation is too high. everyone is taking high profit and margin for granted.

$Alphabet(GOOGL.US)

Context:

Alphabet (GOOGL) is around 345. The recent pullback is mainly about concerns over huge AI infrastructure spending and rising capex, rather than a deterioration in the core business. At the same time, Q2 was very strong: revenue grew 24%, Search grew 17%, YouTube Ads 13%, and Google Cloud jumped 82%, with Cloud backlog reaching $514B.

Analysts remain broadly bullish. The current 12-month consensus target is around 428, with a range of roughly 340-515. Recent targets include $410 from Rosenblatt, $425 from Barclays, $440 from Roth and $465 from BMO.

My trade:

Currently about my cost price.

Since the position is already around breakeven, I would hold. I would only add aggressively if GOOGL falls toward 325. Above $380, I would stop chasing and let the position run.

Takeaway:

Hold. I like GOOGL here for a medium/long-term position. The AI capex is the main risk, but the underlying business is still accelerating—especially Cloud and AI monetisation.

I would treat 400 as the first meaningful profit taking checkpoint and 425-450 as the area where I'd consider selling 20-30%, rather than selling everything.

$Palantir Tech(PLTR.US)PLTR's fundamentals are genuinely exceptional:

Q2 2026 revenue was $1.94B, +93% YoY, beating estimates.

EPS was $0.41 vs $0.34 expected.

U.S. commercial revenue grew 149%.

The problem is valuation, not the business. Around $170+, PLTR is trading at roughly 100x+ forward earnings and ~67x sales.

If PLTR corrects toward $140–150, I'd be much more interested in adding. If it goes to $200 without a corresponding earnings upgrade, I'd become more cautious.

Modena's price hiking percentage overnight is the highest I have never seen. lol 😍 Amazing. hopefully I can choose such a stock right.

My call: US$136

Why: Earnings are the big catalyst. Alibaba reports before the U.S. market opens on Aug. 20, so tomorrow’s entire session will be driven by the results and guidance. But expectations are high. This is why I wouldn't predict $140+ tomorrow. If cloud growth or AI spending guidance disappoints, BABA could easily fall back toward $120–123.

HK: More

The reason I'm expecting a relatively large move is that cloud/AI growth is the key number investors are watching, while Alibaba's heavy AI investment is putting pressure on current profitability. Consensus revenue is aroud RMB269bn, with adjusted EPS expected to decline year-on-year.
