Oracle exceeds expectations +
JPMorgan resumes Hapag-Lloyd with 'Underweight' + China's exports rise faster than expected + Apple presentation hardly moves

Oracle $ORCL (-4.83%) reported first-quarter results late Monday that beat Wall Street estimates, driven by the strength of the software maker's cloud offerings. Adjusted earnings per share rose to $1.39 in the three months through August from $1.19 a year earlier, beating the consensus of $1.33 polled by Capital IQ. Revenue rose 7% to $13.31 billion, beating analysts' estimate of $13.24 billion. Shares rose 7.9% in after-hours trading. Cloud services and license support revenue rose 10% to $10.52 billion, while the cloud licenses and on-premise licenses segment grew 7% to $870 million. The hardware and services segments recorded declines of 8% and 9% respectively. Oracle's remaining performance obligations - future obligations from contractual relationships - increased 53% to a record $99 billion, which will accelerate revenue growth throughout fiscal 2025.

The US bank JPMorgan $JPM (-6.91%) has increased the valuation of the shares of Hapag-Lloyd $HLAG (-6.94%) with an "Underweight" rating and a price target of 85 euros. In the European transportation and logistics sector, analyst Alexia Dogani focuses on companies with strong competitive positions with high entry barriers and significant pricing power such as DHL $DHL (-4.07%) and InPost $INPST (-1.08%). She also likes companies such as DSV $DSV (-4.98%) and Kuehne + Nagel $KNIN (-6.45%)which have consolidated the market in order to improve cost development through economies of scale and leverage. On the other hand, she is skeptical about container shipping companies such as Moller-Maersk $MAERSK B (-9.09%), ZIM $ZIM (-14.11%) and Hapag-Lloyd. Dark clouds are gathering over them, as interest rates have peaked and the supply of capacity continues to increase.

A glimmer of hope for China's economic recovery: exports from the second-largest economy grew more strongly than expected in August. According to data from the Beijing customs authority, exports rose by 8.7 percent year-on-year to the equivalent of 309 billion US dollars (around 280 billion euros). This means that Chinese exports have increased for the fifth month in a row. Imports increased by 0.5 percent. Analysts had previously expected exports to increase by 6.6 percent, while they expected imports to rise by 2.5 percent.

In the context of the presentation of new AI-enabled iPhones and other innovations, the share price rose by Apple $AAPL (-6.25%) (unchanged) were volatile within narrow limits, but turned slightly positive at the end. According to JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee, a large part of the new developments had already been leaked via leaks in the supply chain.

Rising transport costs by sea - another driver of inflation alongside the price of oil

Prices for container freight, solids and liquids by sea are already going through the roof again.

The demand for chartering container ships is currently on the rise.

Demand can hardly be met.

In my opinion, inflation will rise considerably and the interest rate level set by the Fed will be maintained, if not increased.

If interest rates are loosened, then there will be a super disaster.

PS: $MPCC (-4.9%) MPC Container Ships ASA and $ZIM (-14.11%) ZIM Integrated are also making good gains.

What does that mean? Invest anti-cyclically. In what, for example? - REITs. When? As soon as inflation and interest rates fall sustainably and persistently. Keywords: bottoming out and trend reversal.

Our fingers were tingling this week and we ended up doing a lot of shopping, but also a lot of selling.

Among other things we bought $TEAM (-8.9%) ; $ACN (-6.33%) ; $ADYEN (-7.26%) but also the one or other title that doesn't start with "a" ;-)

Sold were among others: $AAUKF ; Short on the S&P 500; $ZIM (-14.11%) ...

Have you been as active and if so, what were your buys and sells?

Review January/February

Let's take a look back at the last 2 months.

Scalable Wealth

My robo-advisor is doing very well so far this year, which is probably because it invests 10% in crypto. It is currently at +7.31% YTD. Like every month, the same amount always flows in here. Overall, the robo-advisor is now at +13,10%.

Crypto

I bought about 1700 $CRO (+0%) because I think the company is doing a good job, especially with regard to the scandal with Wirecard.

My crypto portfolio is up over +24% YTD. This is largely due to $INJ (-0.56%) . Bought in November and currently at about +160%

Shares

I bought my Commerzbank shares in January/February $CBK (-3.54%) and my $VUL (-11.66%) sold my shares. I still like Commerzbank, but I wanted to put the money into other companies. New additions are $MAERSK A (-8%) and $ZIM (-14.11%) . These are to be saved in the future with the help of a savings plan, but are not currently at the top of my list of priorities. My current priority is to build up my existing positions. My strategy has worked very well so far. Today in particular $DTG (-4.79%) Daimler Truck has been very convincing. I am currently up 41.62% with Daimler Truck.

My equity portfolio is at about +2.55% YTD

Further

As not only my investment is set to grow, but I personally would also like to grow, I will also write something briefly about this.

I have read 4 books so far this year. These include the book "The Richest Man in Babylon". So far, I have consistently achieved my goal of reading every day this year. I would be very happy to receive further book suggestions.

My studies are also progressing very well at the moment. I have already successfully completed the accounting, business administration and cost and performance accounting courses this year, even though it was very stressful, as I wrote the exam in cost and performance accounting just 2.5 weeks after the start of the course, for example. I am currently studying for the exam in financing and investment.

I'm also making progress professionally and have been able to improve there too. In a few days, I'll be starting my new job in marketing, which I'm really looking forward to.

How has your year been so far?
