Two SGX Stocks Smart Money Is Watching: KIT & Skylink Holdings
1. Macro View: BCA Research on Tariffs, China, and What Comes Next 🧠US futures jumped more than 2% after Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran. Singapore, however, stayed quiet — daily market value slipped to S$1.43 billion.But two names still stood out. One is an infrastructure trust offering nearly 8% yield while quietly moving into digital assets. The other is a commercial vehicle specialist capitalizing on Singapore's EV push.Before diving into the stocks, here's what BCA Research has to say about the broader macro picture.BCA sees the recent SCOTUS tariff ruling and Trump's follow-up 15% global tariff as only marginal relief for China. The effective tariff on Chinese goods drops from ~29% to roughly 24% — not enough to change existing rerouting strategies.Their core views:Chi
Lendlease REIT 4.28% Perp Reality | SGX Daily Pulse 15 Apr | 🦖EP1548 The market cheered Lendlease's 4.28% perp pricing as a refinancing win, but an ICR of 1.8x means the income floor is one bad quarter from cracking. With gearing at 38.4% against a 35% forensic ceiling, this is not de-risking — it is a debt wall dressed in a lower coupon. For anyone deploying S$100,000 from CPF or SRS into a yield play right now, the math is unforgiving. The 6-month T-Bill sits at 1.47%, the forensic floor is 3.2%, and the minimum equity hurdle is 4.7% — and LREIT's perp clears none of those bars on a risk-adjusted basis. Capital protection demands you ask what you are paid to accept, not just what the manager is willing to offer. 📺 YouTube: https://youtu.be/sQ3PW4zG72A 📩 Substack: https://investingiguana.
📉 Down 6% vs. the Market: Why Berkshire Is Lagging & What Abel Must Prove on May 2
Current Situation: Trailing the S&P by Over 6 Percentage Points Year-to-date 2026, $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ have declined 5%, while the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ has gained approximately 1.78%—a gap of over 6 percentage points. This is Greg Abel's first "report card" since officially taking the CEO reins—and the market seems to be voting with its feet, questioning whether the "Oracle of Omaha" can still deliver the magic. But as Buffett himself once said: "We will underperform in bull markets because we hold a lot of non-public subsidiaries and cash." This current headwind is precisely the crucible testing whether Berkshire's "institutional transformation" can maintain its luster. I. Four Structural Rea

The market is at a delicate inflection point. The index strength you are seeing is real, but it is narrow and leadership-driven, not broad-based. Can earnings be the next upside catalyst? Yes, but only if three conditions align: 1. AI capex confirmation (critical) Amazon and hyperscalers must validate continued aggressive AI/cloud spending This supports semis and storage, reinforcing current leadership 2. Margin resilience If companies show they can absorb cost pressures despite prior geopolitical shocks, multiples can expand further 3. Guidance, not just beats The market is already priced for “good” results Forward guidance must upgrade expectations, not merely meet them --- Why internal divergence matters Leaders: Amazon, SanDisk Laggards: Microsoft, Oracle Corporation This signals: Capi
The move in Circle Internet Financial is not just crypto beta. It is a policy-driven re-rating. The signal from Presidential Council of Advisers on Digital Assets matters because it reduces one of the biggest overhangs: regulatory uncertainty around stablecoin yield mechanics. That shifts Circle from a “grey-zone fintech” to a potential regulated infrastructure layer. --- Can Circle become a new focal point? Bull case (structural) Regulatory clarity → institutional adoption of USDC-like stablecoins Positioned as a compliant on-ramp between TradFi and crypto Beneficiary of tokenised finance (payments, settlements, treasuries) But there are constraints Revenue still tied heavily to interest income on reserves Competition from banks and Big Tech if regulation opens the door Valuation may fron
