Everything is going digital, and the Corona pandemic is accelerating the process. Shopping online at Amazon or Zalando was already relatively normal before the outbreak of the virus. Now, however, new things like homeschooling, home offices and Zoom conferences are being added. The world is becoming more and more digital. Companies' business models are also changing. Be part of it and participate in the digital transformation.

    Working with the future

    Working with the technologies of the future is the Singapore-based Revez Corporation. In doing so, the Company sees itself as a creative tech hub that specializes in delivering innovative concepts and solutions to its clients across the Asia-Pacific region. The composition of this digital hub is unique. The "Revez Hub" comprises four independent brands.

    These brands are linked together to leverage synergies for breadth of clientele. The focus areas of the four vertical brands, Revez, Newood Design, IOIO Lab, and AIAC, cover information and communications technology (ICT), deep tech in artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), industrial automation, cybersecurity, and MICE support.

    Growth in all areas

    The listed Company, which is traded on its home stock exchange in Singapore as well as in Germany, has a market capitalization of EUR 28.6 million. The Company's strategy is fully geared towards growth. Thus, in addition to organic growth, it is also on the lookout for value-enhancing mergers and acquisitions.

    "Build your dream," Elon!

    Tesla founder Elon Musk is already the wealthiest person in the world. Now the US industry leader is aiming to buy 20% of the Chinese competitor BYD. The transaction is to be paid 50% in cash, 50% with Tesla shares. Various online sites spread the rumors. The Americans seem to be less interested in BYD's models than in its production capacities as a battery manufacturer. However, BYD denied via Chinese media, loosely based on Donald Trump: "Fake News!".

    Bus division still on the upswing

    On the other hand, not denied, is another order that BYD received for zero-emission electric buses from the United States, more precisely from Massachusetts. The Company, backed by Warren Buffet's investment Company Berkshire Hathaway, is building electric buses for the Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority. The Steamship Authority plans to use three BYD K9M electric buses to transport guests from parking lots to mainland ferry terminals in Hyannis and Woods Hole.

    Strong numbers, fuzzy outlook

    Chinese Internet giant Alibaba delivered strong third-quarter numbers. Revenue grew 37% year-on-year in the third to USD 33.88 billion. Operating profit rose by almost 25% to USD 7.51 billion. Net income also increased significantly by 56% to USD 11.95 billion. Growth was particularly strong in the cloud computing segment. Here, revenue was lifted by 50% year-on-year to just under USD 2.47 billion. However, the anti-Monopoly Law investigation by the Chinese government authorities is still hovering over the figures. In November, the IPO of the Ant Group subsidiary was halted just days before its launch. Following an intervention by China's central bank, the Company will probably have to discontinue or dispose of its business model's important areas.

    Stabilization of the share price

    Due to the uncertainties, Alibaba did not give an outlook; only the sales target should increase around 30%. Chart-wise, a bottom is taking place at the moment. The share price is once again trading above its rising 200-day line. If the breakout above the USD 225 mark succeeds, a short-term price target of USD 235 will result. Even though there are certainly still some regulatory hurdles to overcome, we do not expect a complete break-up of the Internet giant and see significantly rising prices in the future.

    Top Asian Picks for 2023 in place of Tesla: Alibaba, Alpina Holdings, BYD, JinkoSolar: Invest in the best!

    • RealEstate
    • Investments
    • Asia
    • Electromobility

    The Asian tech giants have not yet been able to break away from their downward trend in 2022. After losing almost 50% in 2021, e-commerce giant Alibaba again lost more than 15% at the end of the year, while other stocks such as Baidu and Tencent also posted double-digit losses. In the US, the once so-popular stocks were quickly removed from the funds. Currently, only die-hard fans are likely still invested. Fortunately, the tense situation has calmed down somewhat in recent weeks, and even the Chinese regulator is gradually realizing that the heavy monitoring of the digital economy is slowing down the growth prospects of its own economy. Some analysts have already downgraded Chinese GDP growth by a full 1.5 percentage points from 2022 to 2025. However, Asia can still score points in an international comparison. Where are the opportunities?

    Alibaba, JinkoSolar and Hong Lai Huat: Stocks for the stimulus package

    • RealEstate
    • Asia

    Asian stocks have been under pressure in recent months due to the Chinese government's strict Zero-COVID strategy with hard lockdowns like in the economic hub of Shanghai. Now they could benefit from easing and a stimulus package. In order to achieve the GDP growth target of 5.5% in 2022, the government in Beijing has put together an economic stimulus package. With 33 measures, private consumption - including the purchase of cars and household appliances - is to be boosted and investments in major projects promoted. It is not only Chinese stocks such as Alibaba and JinkoSolar that should benefit from this. The real estate sector in the entire Asian region should also breathe a sigh of relief and, with it, the Hong Lai Huat share.

    Asia has become the engine of global growth in recent years. Demographics and digitalization have driven economic and business expansion. Compared to the Western world, for example, the COVID-19 crisis was better managed, and the economy showed greater resilience. After the pandemic, the region is expected to return to a steep growth path. The real estate market is also experiencing strong growth. Alongside China, Hong Kong and Singapore, the Kingdom of Cambodia, in particular, is growing into a new region of prosperity.
