Singapore shares rose in early trade today, tracking mostly gains in US and European markets. 

Some notable names seeing new developments today include Keppel Corporation, which reported a 40.6 per cent on-year decline in net profit for the second half ended December. Question is - how concerned should we be about this development?

Sembcorp Industries also made the headlines recently for owning and operating Southeast Asia’s largest energy storage system in Jurong Island. Are there legs to this as the company doubles down on renewables?

Elsewhere, a number of US companies reporting last night missed estimates, with Apple, Alphabet, Starbucks among them. But how are markets there expected to close the week?

On Market View, the Drive Time team posed these questions to Benjamin Goh, Head of Research and Investor Education, SIAS.
