$Microsoft(MSFT.US)

I am solidly Bullish on Microsoft ahead of its earnings report.

Key Thesis & Catalysts:

1. Strong Azure AI Demand: Azure revenue growth is guided at a robust 39%–40%, backed by accelerating enterprise adoption of AI workloads and cloud migration.

2. Copilot Monetization: M365 Copilot adoption and Copilot Studio custom agent deployments are actively driving high-margin SaaS recurring revenue expansion.

3. Overblown CapEx Concerns: Market fears over AI infrastructure spend are overdone; Microsoft’s massive Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) prove genuine, paying demand that justifies the capital expenditure.

With recent price consolidation offering an excellent risk/reward ratio, I expect a strong report to catalyze the next leg up!

Checking in on the portfolio with my latest update from ⁠today market. The Singapore allocation is showing great resilience today, with two notable turnarounds across our real estate and energy plays.

CapLand Ascendas (A17U) made a solid run back into green territory, jumping up to +0.80%, while Sembcorp Ind (U96) clawed back a significant chunk of yesterday’s loss, narrowing its dip from -5.50% down to -3.55%.

Meanwhile, my top three anchors are holding down the fort with steady returns: SingTel (Z74) leads at +3.75%, Genting Sing (G13) stays firm at +2.45%, and Mapletree Log Tr (M44U) maintains +2.36%. With CapitaLandInvest (9CI) sitting right at -0.40%, 4 out of our 6 positions are holding positive momentum. Broad-based strategy doing its job—holding steady!

Starting off a new trading week with a look at the dashboard from ⁠my portfolio. Volatility is a natural part of the game, but having a diversified defensive strategy is what keeps things grounded. SingTel (Z74) and Genting Sing (G13) are currently running in lockstep as our dual engines, pacing the green side beautifully at +3.28% and +3.27% respectively. Meanwhile, Mapletree Log Tr (M44U) continues to be a highly reliable anchor, holding its ground firmly at +2.36%.

My property counters, CapitaLandInvest (9CI) and CapLand Ascendas (A17U), are mirroring each other with minor, identical dips of -0.40%. The newest energy play, Sembcorp Ind (U96), has faced the sharpest drop, drifting down to -5.50% amidst a broader sector rotation. However, given its tight position sizing at just 3.01% of my allocation, the capital impact remains completely insulated. It’s an excellent reminder that position sizing matters just as much as stock picking. Keeping the long-term vision clear—holding strong!”

Mid-week portfolio assessment! We are seeing some clear divergence in sector momentum, but the defensive setup continues to hold its own nicely. SingTel (Z74) anchors the portfolio solidly at +3.52%, with Genting Sing (G13) right behind it carrying an impressive +2.45% cushion. Mapletree Log Tr (M44U) also remains remarkably steady at +2.36%.

The highlight today is CapitaLandInvest (9CI), which has completely broken free from its flat baseline and climbed up to a very encouraging +1.20% return. My newest entry, Sembcorp Ind (U96), has trimmed its previous losses by half, narrowing its dip to just -1.06%, while CapLand Ascendas (A17U) remains steady at -0.40%. With 4 out of 6 positions sitting comfortably flat or well in the green, the structural health here is strong. No need to chase the market noise—holding firm!

Checking in on my Singapore portfolio as of July 14⁠. We are seeing some broad market fluctuations, but the core foundation of this setup remains incredibly robust. SingTel (Z74) has caught a nice bid, climbing back up to +4.22%, while Genting Sing (G13) continues its stellar turnaround story, locking in a very healthy +2.45% gain.

Over on the real estate front, Mapletree Log Tr (M44U) stays highly dependable at +2.36%, and CapitaLandInvest (9CI) rests comfortably at flat break-even (0.00%). CapLand Ascendas (A17U) down a minor -0.40% is negligible. My newest energy counter, Sembcorp Ind (U96), has felt the brunt of recent volatility, dipping to -2.13%, but given it is still our smallest allocated position at 3.11%, the actual dollar impact is very manageable. Having the majority of the portfolio insulated in the green proves the value of picking quality anchors. Staying the course!

Starting the new week with a fresh addition to the portfolio as seen in ⁠below⁠. I’ve expanded my Singapore holdings to 6 counters by initiating a new position in Sembcorp Ind (U96) with 400 shares at a 3.17% portfolio weight. It’s currently sitting just down a tiny fraction at -0.17%, giving me a clean baseline entry into the energy and urban development sector.

Meanwhile, my existing core plays continue to show great structural resilience. SingTel (Z74) is leading the gains at +3.75%, while Mapletree Log Tr (M44U) and Genting Sing (G13) are maintaining solid ground at +3.21% and +1.63% respectively. CapLand Ascendas (A17U) holds green at +0.40%, and CapitaLandInvest (9CI) sits right at break-even (0.00%). Happy with this added diversification—holding strong and watching the momentum!

An amazing milestone update from ⁠my portfolio to finish up the week. I have achieved a 100% green portfolio!

Every single one of my 5 Singapore counters is now sitting in positive territory. Mapletree Log Tr is pacing the group with a strong +4.06% return, followed closely by SingTel at +3.28%. Genting Sing and CapitaLandInvest are in lockstep, picking up great momentum at +1.63% and +1.60% gains. Even CapLand Ascendas has turned the corner nicely to sit at +0.80%. The systematic diversification across telecom, gaming, and premium real estate assets is paying off beautifully. Staying the course and letting this run!

Looking at the 1-year chart for Genting Singapore ($Genting Sing.SG), the steep correction over the past few months has clearly priced in a lot of the recent negative sentiment. While short-term earnings have faced temporary pressure from ongoing transformation and operational upgrades at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS 2.0), the long-term value thesis remains incredibly compelling.

Financially, Genting is a fortress with a rock-solid balance sheet featuring zero debt and roughly S$3.3 billion in cash. Sitting at these cyclical lows, the stock now offers a highly attractive dividend yield hovering near 6.5% to 7%. For patient investors, this looks like a classic accumulation zone where you get paid a premium yield to wait out the massive capacity expansions. Keeping a firmly Bullish outlook as the downside appears deeply protected by cash reserves!

Mid-week portfolio assessment looking at ⁠my holding shares. Following the recent market peak, we are seeing some expected consolidation across the Singapore space, but the underlying structure remains remarkably steady. SingTel (Z74) continues to anchor the portfolio with a solid +2.58% return, while Mapletree Log Tr (M44U) remains a dependable bastion of stability, locked in at a very healthy +3.21% gain.

Meanwhile, Genting Sing (G13) and CapitaLandInvest (9CI) are both showing great defensive discipline, holding completely flat exactly at break-even (0.00%). CapLand Ascendas (A17U) has dipped slightly to a minor -0.40%, but this is minor noise in the grand scheme. With 4 out of 5 counters at flat or in the green, it’s a great environment to practice patience. No rash moves—just staying the course and letting the strategy play out!

$SingTel(Z74.SG)Taking a closer look at the 1-year chart for SingTel ($SingTel.SG), the recent price action tells a highly encouraging story for the bulls. After a period of healthy consolidation following its peak earlier in the year, the stock is currently riding a steady, stable bottoming structure and appears to be gathering clear upward momentum again.

From a fundamental and income perspective, the structural foundation here remains incredibly solid. The combination of strong regional performance, defensive market positioning, and upcoming July dividend incentives make it an attractive anchor. I am firmly Bullish at these levels and expect it to test higher resistance zones as the broader telecom and digital infrastructure sectors continue to show strength. Staying the course!

Checking in on my Singapore portfolio as of July 6 according to ⁠below. I’m thrilled to report that the entire portfolio has officially flipped into a sea of green!

My top performer, SingTel (Z74), remains incredibly strong and provides great baseline support at +4.46%. Mapletree Log Tr (M44U) and Genting Sing (G13) are maintaining their solid post-weekend posture at +3.21% and +0.81% respectively. The most exciting news today is that CapitaLandInvest (9CI) has broken out of negative territory, moving up to +0.40%. Even CapLand Ascendas (A17U) has climbed back up to hit absolute break-even at 0.00%. Seeing all 5 counters completely wipe out their paper losses makes for an excellent start to the week. Holding firmly and letting this momentum ride!

Ending the week on a strong note according to the latest snapshot in ⁠below! It‘s fantastic to see the portfolio gaining some solid upward momentum. SingTel (Z74) is continuing its stellar run, hitting a high of +4.92%.

The biggest highlight today, though, is Genting Sing (G13)—it has officially broken out of its flat streak and moved into the green at +0.81%. Mapletree Log Tr (M44U) also caught a nice bounce back up to +3.21%. Meanwhile, our newer additions, CapitaLandInvest (9CI) and CapLand Ascendas (A17U), have trimmed their losses in half and are now sitting at a very minor -0.40% each. Having three out of five counters firmly in the green makes for a very satisfying weekend update. Holding strong!

A quick portfolio health check looking at ⁠below⁠. My Singapore-centric strategy is showing some great resilience today. SingTel (Z74) is leading the charge, hitting an impressive +4.69% return and providing a strong tailwind for the overall portfolio.

Over on the real estate side, Mapletree Log Tr (M44U) has pulled back slightly but remains comfortably in the green at +2.36%. My newest additions from earlier this week, CapitaLandInvest (9CI) and CapLand Ascendas (A17U), have drifted a bit lower to -0.80% each, but I’m completely fine with this as it gives me a solid base to consider accumulating more if they stay at these levels. Meanwhile, Genting Sing (G13) remains locked exactly at break-even (0.00%). No major changes planned; I‘m happy to hold steady and let the green run!

An update on my portfolio strategy as seen in ⁠below⁠. To start July, I’ve expanded my Singapore holdings to 5 counters, adding CapitaLandInvest (9CI) and CapLand Ascendas (A17U) with equal weights of 3.52% each. Both have dipped slightly at -0.40%, giving me a clean baseline entry.

Reviewing my streamlined SG portfolio snapshot from ⁠below portfolio. The overall momentum looks highly encouraging. SingTel is leading the charge with a strong +4.22% gain, and Mapletree Log Tr remains highly reliable with a consistent +4.06% return. It’s also great to see Genting Sing climb back up to hit the break-even mark (0.00%) after a brief slight drop. The portfolio feels tight, manageable, and well-positioned. No major adjustments needed right now—just staying the course and watching these compound!

An update on my portfolio adjustments as shown in ⁠post. I’ve trimmed down my position in Mapletree Log Tr (M44U) to 2,500 shares, which is looking strong with an increased P/L of +4.06%. Meanwhile, SingTel (Z74) continues its steady upward march, now sitting at a solid +3.99% gain. To keep the portfolio clean, I have completely liquidated the minor positions in Intl Cement and SoFi Tech. On the entry side, I‘ve initiated a new position in Genting Sing (G13) at a 4.29% weight, which is hovering just below break-even at -0.81%, and grabbed a tiny fractional slice of SpaceX (SPCX).

Sharing a quick update on my SG holdings as seen in image.png. It’s great to see a sea of green today! My larger weights, Mapletree Log Tr and SingTel, are putting in solid work with gains of +1.66% and +2.11% respectively, providing nice stability. Seatrium is the star performer today, climbing +3.81%. Intl Cement is down a tiny -1.56%, but at a 0.04% weight, it’s negligible. Happy with how this is shaping up—definitely holding for now!
