What Really Drives Your Personality?

Markets weighed a flurry of corporate earnings alongside an unusually divided Federal Reserve, leaving investors with fresh questions about where opportunities lie.

Michelle Martin unpacks Keppel's sharp drop in headline profit and why its underlying business tells a much stronger story as the company continues its asset-light transformation.

She also explores why DBS believes StarHub could emerge as an unexpected winner following the collapse of the M1-Simba deal, and what renewed consolidation could mean for Singapore's telecom sector.

The programme also covers a strong turnaround at Starbucks, a volatile night on Wall Street following a split Fed decision, and the latest winners and losers from the AI investment cycle, including Microsoft, Samsung Electronics and Meta Platforms.

Plus, Singtel's reported plans to unlock value from its fast-growing data centre business, Nxera, through a potential dual listing and REIT, and in the Last Word, why FIFA's proposed US$20 billion commercial rights deal raises bigger questions about the growing influence of private capital in global sport.
