http://ift.tt/2qMvLQh

Softbank-Saudi tech fund becomes world's biggest with $93 billion of capitalThe world’s largest private equity fund, backed by Japan’s Softbank Group and Saudi Arabia’s main sovereign wealth fund, said on Saturday it had raised over $93 billion to invest in technology sectors such as artificial intelligence and robotics. “The next stage of the Information Revolution is under way, and building the businesses that will make this possible will require unprecedented large-scale, long-term investment,” the Softbank Vision Fund said in a statement. Japanese billionaire Masayoshi Son, chairman of Softbank, a telecommunications and tech investment group, revealed plans for the fund last October and since then it has obtained commitments from some of the world’s most deep-pocketed investors.

Noble Group Plunges on Profit Warning

http://ift.tt/2q4znPi

Noble Group (CGP.SG) shares are being smashed this morning after the commodities trader issued a profit warning ahead of its March quarter results announcement later today.


Photographer: Nicky Loh/Bloomberg

Shares of the Singapore-listed, Hong Kong-based company fell 20% on Thursday morning to an almost 15-year low of SGD1.02 a share. Wednesday was a public holiday in Singapore for Vesak Day.

Noble warned on May 9 that it expects to make a loss of $130 million in the March quarter due to a misplaced bet on coal prices. Analysts surveyed by FactSet were expecting the company to turn a profit.

The Business Times’ Lynette Khoo reports it would be the company’s weakest result in more than two years. Khoo writes:

But Noble added that it did make significant progress in carrying out the cost reduction initiatives which were announced during the FY2016 results presentation in February, resulting in significant reduction of quarterly selling, administrative and operating expenses in the first quarter.

The company has been trying to restore investor confidence following attacks by little-known Iceberg Research on its allegedly aggressive accounting practices and after a commodities downturn triggered several downgrades by credit rating agencies, a share price collapse, and a series of writedowns and asset sales.

  • Alternatively, a sustained close above 1,227 will take the parity higher towards key resistances around 1,237, 1,249, 1,262 and 1,274 marks respectively.
  • Important to note here that 20D, 30D and 55D EMA heads up and confirms the bullish trend in a daily chart.

NetEase: Q1 Results Trump Expectations; Stock Jumps

http://ift.tt/2qfZ007

NetEase (NTES) shares are up 3.6% in afterhours New York trading on Wednesday after the Chinese gaming giant delivered an impressive double beat with its March quarter results.

Total revenue of RMB13.6 billion jumped 72.3% compared to a year ago and surpassed the consensus analyst estimate by 15%.

Jefferies analyst Karen Chan has more details of NetEase’s top line.

Online game revenue was up 78.5% YoY and 20% QoQ to RMB10.7bn, accounting for 78.7% of total revenue, 27% above our estimate. PC game revenue reached RMB2.9bn, +28.8% YoY, -11.1% QoQ, 8% above our estimate. Mobile game revenue came in 35% above our estimate at RMB7.9bn, +107.7% YoY and +37.2% QoQ, representing 73.3% of total online games, up from 64% in 4Q16 and 63% in 1Q16. Advertising revenue was up 13.2% YoY and 63.2% QoQ to RMB445mn, accounting for 3.3% of total revenue, 4% below our estimates. Email, e-Commerce and other revenue was RMB2.5bn, +63.2% YoY, flattish QoQ, representing 18% of total revenue, 19% above our estimate. Deferred revenue was down 7.6% QoQ to RMB7.0bn as of Mar 2017, 2% below our estimate.

NetEase also performed strongly on the bottom line. It earned a non-GAAP net income of RMB4.3 billion, which was up 63% compared to a year ago and 17% higher than the consensus analyst estimate. Its GAAP operating profit was RMB4.8 billion, up 66% compared to a year ago.

While the gross margin for NetEase’s online games business slipped 3.1 percentage points compared to a year ago, it improved 3.2 percentage points compared to the December quarter.

NetEase announced a quarterly dividend of $1.08 per American Depository Share, which kept its payout ratio stable at 25%. The stock currently pays a 1.4% dividend yield.

The company also announced the resignation of CFO Onward Choi and said it will announce a replacement in the near future.

Earlier this week, Barron’s Asia blogged that NetEase was likely to beat both top and bottom line expectations with its March quarter results (Please see: NetEase: What to Expect from Q1 Earnings). We have been long-time fans of the gaming stock since August 2015 (Please see: NetEase Outscores Rivals in China’s Online Game).

NetEase shares have rallied 94% over the past year and trade at 17 times forward earnings.

It’s been an exuberant week for Chinese companies. JD.com (JD) also trumped expectations for both revenues and earnings in the March quarter. Shares of the e-commerce giant are up 10% since the beginning of the week.

JD’s rival Alibaba (BABA) will be announcing earnings next Thursday. Will Alibaba also impress? Please see: Alibaba: What to Expect from Q4 Earnings.
