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

Oracle $ORCL (+2,52%) 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 (+1,68%) has increased the valuation of the shares of Hapag-Lloyd $HLAG (+2,39%) 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 (+1,58%) and InPost $INPST (+1,6%). She also likes companies such as DSV $DSV (+3,87%) and Kuehne + Nagel $KNIN (+2,73%)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 (+4,02%), ZIM $ZIM (+1,41%) 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 (+2,14%) (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.

Let's see where the journey takes us 😉

Probably too expensive and too late

Fewer and fewer shipping companies are sailing through the Suez Canal. The reason for this is the attacks by the Huthi rebels. The price of oil and freight rates are already rising.

Is this fueling inflation again? The exploding freight rates were one of the main reasons for inflation. Can the shipping companies repeat their record year 2022?

Do you have any thoughts on this?

$HLAG (+2,39%)

$600428

$MAERSK B (+4,02%) the rise of the last two days is only due to the announcement of the fed to lower interest rates, or have I missed some other important news?

😄 I'm curious to see if it was a good idea yesterday (almost exactly at the low point) $HLAG (+2,39%) and $MAERSK B (+4,02%) to buy, or stupid 😄

Has anyone here ever applied for the withholding tax refund from Denmark? I have applied for this in mid - late April but have not received anything back yet. No notification that an application has been received, no money, nothing. Does anyone have any experience? On google someone had written, he had only waited 4 weeks but much can not be found.

By the way, I needed a notice of tax residency in DE from the tax office and then they told me that I am now subject to income tax return because I own shares ... After 20 minutes on the phone with someone who was unfortunately not very competent, nothing has changed. Do I care then next year again drum that I am taken out of the duty hopefully again, for this year I do eh a..

Yesterday still big-headed rumgetönt - I no longer buy under 500 euros... no 24h later but again become weak. Was probably a frustration purchase because I $MAERSK B (+4,02%) with my provider do not get into the depot.
