Orsted may pay dividend again after several years
Orsted, the Danish renewable energy utility, recently published its Q2 earnings report, which showed mixed results. The company exceeded analysts’ expectations in terms of both revenue and EBITDA, but fell short of net income estimates. Nonetheless, project developments are on track, and the company’s liquidity position remains adequate. In light of the results, management maintains its 2026 guidance, and announced dividend payment plans for 2027. Overall, Orsted keeps making good progress, so we are keeping the stock on our Equity Top Pick List.
Commodities - Technical Analysis
Gold and silver have broken their downtrends, triggering upward waves that still hold potential for further gains. After a strong retest, the oil price may settle into a range, but there are still opportunities for further gains. Natural gas prices did not reach a new low, but no pattern indicating a reversal has yet emerged. Copper is maintaining its upward trend; it must rise again within the next few days, or the rally could break down. Wheat and corn are also beginning to turn upward again from key support levels after strong retests.
Alibaba's share price failed to maintain its breakout from weeks ago, reaching the stop level of our trading idea yesterday after the reversal. We therefore consider the position closed, which we attribute primarily to the underperformance of the technology sector rather than any change in the company's specific fundamentals. Therefore, although we are exiting our trading position, we are maintaining the stock on our equity top pick list due to its favorable long-term fundamentals.
The development of AI solutions (such as Anthropic's developments in recent times) has put software stocks under serious selling pressure, as in many cases artificial intelligence may call into question the business model of these companies, which could present them with structural challenges. The wave of selling had a negative impact on the entire technology sector, and in recent days, investors have responded to the quarterly flash reports of several large technology companies by reducing their positions, triggered either by higher-than-expected capex plans or growth figures that fell just short of expectations. The underlying reason may be that expectations were simply too high, while positioning became stretched, leading to corrections.
Relative price movements of Alibaba and its peers
We basically attribute the downward trend in the shares of Alibaba and several other Chinese competitors in recent days to this unfavorable industry environment, which ultimately caused our long trading position to reach its previously set stop-loss level. It is worth cutting losses here and stepping back until the general sector-wide selling pressure subsides.
