Hasbro soars, Mattel stumbles - and the gap between winners and losers has never looked wider.

From a tale of two toymakers to sharp earnings surprises across global giants, today’s Market View unpacks what really drives stocks UP or DOWN.

Hasbro jumps to a one-year high as new IP like K-Pop Demon Hunters and Harry Potter reignite growth, while Mattel sinks on discounting pressure and weak holiday sales.

We size up mixed earnings signals from Coca-Cola, Ford, Spotify and Gucci-owner Kering, revealing how pricing power and execution are separating leaders from laggards.

US markets churn as the S&P 500 briefly hits a record before pulling back, while bold claims from President Donald Trump on 15% growth add policy noise to investor nerves.

Closer to home, we track Singapore movers including NTT DC REIT, Wing Tai and Boustead - hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.

Are investors focusing too much on headline DPU when evaluating Singapore REITs?

Michelle Martin examines why the familiar distribution-per-unit number may not tell the full story.

In this episode of Money and Me, we explore whether investors should shift their focus from the quantity of distributions to the quality and sustainability behind them.

REIT specialist and Wealth Advisory Director Kenny Loh introduces a new framework - the Management Efficiency Index (MEI) - meant to help investors evaluate how effectively REIT managers generate and protect long-term income.

The conversation also unpacks the risks behind 100% payout strategies, accounting optic moves, and the impact of management fees paid in units.

With AGM season approaching, Kenny shares the key questions retail investors should ask management teams to better understand the resilience of distributions.

Any investor heading to a REIT AGM would benefit from knowing the right questions to ask to dive beyond the numbers to get at management "sweat equity".

Are you “raising a lobster”?

A new open-source AI agent called OpenClaw - created by an Austrian developer - is sparking a frenzied wave of experimentation across China.

The AI agent can draft reports, organise your inbox and even book you a flight.

Its rapid adoption has spawned a cottage industry of small businesses helping Chinese households set up the software (you need a cloud server to run OpenClaw).

Michelle Martin steers the show with markets on edge as oil surges past US$100, with tensions around the Strait of Hormuz threatening global supply and rattling investors.

Meanwhile in the US, Adobe faces a leadership transition as markets question whether generative AI could disrupt its long-dominant creative software business.

In our UP or DOWN segment, we take a closer look at CrowdStrike and PayPay.

And in today’s Last Word, Michelle spotlight's the global rise of K-pop storytelling.
