Trade Ideas
Anthony Stevens Bloomberg Market Producer 4:17
Long Indian IT services rotation.
Rotation from hardware to software is gaining traction in Asia, and Indian IT services have been underweight and are now catching up with strong ADR sessions, presenting a buying opportunity.
Vikas Pershad Portfolio Manager, M&G Investments 5:15
Avoid memory overvaluation.
Valuations for conventional DRAM are stretched with assumptions that don't hold beyond 2027, and the recent inflation shock in Korea adds pressure, so reducing exposure to memory.
Vikas Pershad Portfolio Manager, M&G Investments 17:20
Healthcare mispriced, buy Asian healthcare.
Healthcare is mispriced across Asia, including Indian services, Japanese pharma, with high cash flow and dividends, while AI stocks are overvalued.
Vince Senior Vice President, MediaTek 25:38
MediaTek data center growth bullish.
MediaTek's data center business is growing from zero to $2 billion this year and will be a large part of the $70-80 billion addressable market, driving significant revenue growth.
