'Dah puas buat lagu cinta

PENYANYI dan penggubah lagu kelahiran Singapura, Awi Rafael, mengakui sudah puas menghasilkan lagu mengisahkan percintaan sesama manusia dan kini fokus pada konsep ketuhanan dan keislaman. Walaupun menyedari lagu bertemakan cinta mampu menarik lebih ramai pendengar dan menjadikan sesebuah karya itu hits, namun Awi kini lebih selesa dengan naskhah yang sarat dengan nilai moral. Buy Tech on Downward Valuations: Deutsche Bank By Donna Fuscaldo | August 6, 2018 — 11:13 AM EDT SHARE ADD TO WATCHLIST FB Facebook Inc 185.69 +4.45% NFLX Netflix Inc 350.92 +2.28% View Watchlist Predictions of tech stocks’ impending demise may be premature, even if many are down double digits from their highs so far this year. That’s according to Deutsche Bank, which said in a research report that tech stocks are a great choice for investors thanks to strong earnings, valuations that are declining and expectations that the group will raise their dividend payouts going forward. Tech Stocks Down But Not Out "Following recent weakness in social media and other tech-related names, there has been increased rhetoric surrounding the 'demise of Tech' and the suggestion that tech has lost its market leadership position,” wrote Larry Adam, chief investment officer of Deutsche Bank’s Wealth Management Americas unit in a research report covered by CNBC. “In short, we believe this rhetoric is premature."

Adam did note that 18% of S&P 500 information technology sector stocks and 43% of Nasdaq-traded ones are off more than 20% from their year-to-date highs but said the S&P 500 information technology sector is up 28% during the year and remains a top performer for the index. Adam pointed to “supportive shareholder friendly” actions on the part of tech companies as a positive for the stocks and said more of that is expected to come. That has been the expectation of all sorts of investors after President Trump overhauled the tax code, slashing the corporate tax rate to 21% from 35%. That action has led to widespread expectations that companies will buy back more shares and raise their dividend payouts. According to the strategist, tech companies spent $66 billion on buybacks during the second quarter while dividends are forecasted to increase 11% this year and 9% next year.

Tech Earnings Still Expected to Be Strong Earnings for the group are also strong, with Adam pointing out that the sector as a whole had earnings growth of 33.5% during the second quarter and that more than 90% of the group were able to blow past Wall Street’s views for the June-ending quarter. Facebook Inc. (FB FB Facebook Inc 185.69 +4.45% ) and Netflix Inc. (NFLX NFLX Netflix Inc 350.92 +2.28% ) weren’t among those, which sent tech stocks lower last month. The market strategist expects earnings growth to continue for tech companies with the group ending the year with year-over-year earnings growth of 20%. For 2019, Adam expects them to lodge earnings growth of 11%. At the same time that earnings are still continuing to grow, albeit at a slower pace next year, Adam said valuations for tech stocks should continue to decline, making them cheaper for investors and thus a buying opportunity. He noted that with the economy booming in the U.S., consumer spending on tech should rise, also boding well for the companies in the tech sector.
