Trade tensions aren't stopping Chinese companies from pushing into the U.S.
BEIJING — Chinese companies are so intent on global expansion that even the biggest stock offering to date on Shanghai's tech-heavy STAR board counts the U.S. as one of its biggest markets, on par with China. Shenzhen-based camera company Insta360, a rival to GoPro, raised 1.938 billion yuan ($270 million) in a Shanghai listing Wednesday under the name Arashi Vision. Shares soared by 274%, giving the company a market value of 71 billion yuan ($9.88 billion). The United States, Europe and mainland China each accounted for just over 23% of revenue last year, according to Insta360, whose 360-degree cameras officially started Apple Store sales in 2018. The company sells a variety of cameras — priced at several hundred dollars — coupled with video-editing software. Co-founder Max Richter said in an interview Tuesday that he expects U.S. demand to remain strong and dismissed concerns about geopolitical risks. "We are staying ahead just by investing into user-centric research and development, and monitoring market trends that ultimately meet the consumer['s] needs," he told CNBC ahead of the STAR board listing. China launched the Shanghai STAR Market in July 2019 just months after Chinese President Xi Jinping announced plans for the board. The Nasdaq-style tech board was established to support high-growth tech companies while raising requirements for the investor base to limit speculative activity. In 2019, only 12% of companies on the STAR board said at least half of their revenue came from outside China, according to CNBC analysis of data accessed via Wind Information. In 2024, with hundreds more companies listed, that share had climbed to more than 14%, the data showed. "We are just seeing the tip of the iceberg. More and more capable Chinese firms are going global," said King Leung, global head of financial services, fintech and sustainability at InvestHK. Leung pointed to the growing global business of Chinese companies such as battery giant CATL, which listed in Hong Kong last month. "There are a lot of more tier-two and tier-three companies that are equally capable," he said. InvestHK is a Hong Kong government department that promotes investment in the region. It has organized trips to help connect mainland Chinese businesses with overseas opportunities, including one to the Middle East last month. Roborock, a robotic vacuum cleaner company also listed on the STAR board, announced this month it plans to list in Hong Kong. More than half of the company's revenue last year came from overseas markets. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this year, Roborock showed off a vacuum with a robotic arm for automatically removing obstacles while cleaning floors. The device was subsequently launched in the U.S. for $2,600. Other consumer-focused Chinese companies also remain unfazed by heighted tensions between China and the U.S. In November, Chinese home appliance company Hisense said it aimed to become the top seller of television sets in the U.S. in two years. And last month, China-based Bc Babycare announced its official expansion into the U.S. and touted its global supply chain as a way to offset tariff risks. Chinese companies have been pushing overseas in the last several years, partly because growth at home has slowed. Consumer demand has remained lackluster since the Covid-19 pandemic. But the expansion trend is now evolving into a third stage in which the businesses look to build international brands on their own with offices in different regions hiring local employees, said Charlie Chen, managing director and head of Asia research at China Renaissance Securities. He said that's a change from the earliest years when Chinese companies primarily manufactured products for foreign brands to sell, and a subsequent phase in which Chinese companies had joint ventures with foreign companies. Insta360 primarily manufactures out of Shenzhen, but has offices in Berlin, Tokyo and Los Angeles, Richter said. He said the Los Angeles office focuses on services and marketing — the company held its first big offline product launch in New York's Grand Central Terminal in April. Chen also expects the next phase of Chinese companies going global will sell different kinds of products. He pointed out that those that had gone global primarily sold home appliances and electronics, but are now likely to expand significantly into toys. Already, Beijing-based Pop Mart has become a global toy player, with its Labubu figurine series gaining popularity worldwide. Pop Mart's total sales, primarily domestic, were 4.49 billion yuan in 2021. In 2024, overseas sales alone surpassed that to hit 5.1 billion yuan, up 373% from a year ago, while mainland China sales climbed to 7.97 billion yuan. "It established another Pop Mart versus domestic sales in 2021," said Chris Gao, head of China discretionary consumer at CLSA. The Hong Kong-listed retailer doesn't publicly share much about its global store expansion plans or existing locations, but an independent blogger compiled a list of at least 17 U.S. store locations as of mid-May, most of which opened in the last two years. The toy company has been "very good" at developing or acquiring the rights to characters, Gao said. She expects its global growth to continue as Pop Mart plans to open more stores worldwide, and as consumers turn more to such character-driven products during times of stress and macroeconomic uncertainty.

Times running out to snag one of Dodo's excellent 12-month NBN deals – get cheaper internet from AU$54p/m
Searching for a better deal on your NBN plan this EOFY? Meet Dodo. Dodo is an Aussie-based internet, mobile and energy provider. It operates via the Vocus Network, piggybacking off its infrastructure to supply internet services. The network also supplies fibre for other telcos, like iPrimus and Tangerine. But there's one thing this flightless bird knows that sets it apart from the flock — and that's a damn good discount. Right now, Dodo has a long-running NBN promo that'll save you AU$180 off your first 12 months. These egg-cellent discounts have been in motion for some time now, as we first noticed them during the extravaganza that was Black Friday 2024 — almost 8 months ago — but their time is finally running out. Luckily for you, this offer has been graciously extended until June 24, 2025. We anticipate that these deals will truly go extinct after that date, so you'll need to act fast to maximise your savings. We've rounded up the best four Dodo plans on offer right now, ranging from 50Mbps to 250Mbps connections. All Dodo plans come with unlimited data, no lock-in contracts, and you can add a modem for as little as AU$8.90p/m (or AU$99.90 upfront). Dodo | NBN 25 | AU$53.90p/m (for 12 months, then AU$68.90p/m) Dodo's cheapest NBN deal falls to its 25Mbps plan, which is now just AU$53.90p/m for the first 12 months. This plan is great for single-person households, or even seniors wanting a little more from their NBN 12 connection. Do note, though, this plan is better suited for light internet usage, so if you're worried about exceeding your downloads, you may want to consider the NBN 50 plan below. Total minimum cost: AU$53.90 | Total first year cost: AU$646.80 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$826.80 Dodo | NBN 50 | AU$68.90p/m (for 12 months, then AU$83.90p/m) Advertising 50Mbps during the typical evening hours, this discount will knock AU$15 off the first 12 months — that's AU$180 — before the price increases. Given that this is the most popular NBN speed tier, this plan is likely just right for you, provided you don't want a seriously fast internet connection Honestly, we don't think it's the best bargain in the long run. After the first year, Dodo's NBN 100 plan costs AU$5p/m more (AU$60 per year) but has double the speeds. Of course, it's up to you, but if you're itching for a faster plan, Dodo's NBN 100 deal is one to consider instead. Total minimum cost: AU$68.90 | Total first year cost: AU$826.80 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,006.80 Dodo | NBN 100 | AU$73.90p/m (for 12 months, then AU$88.90p/m) Dodo currently offers one of the most attractive NBN 100 plans. However, there is a very minor catch. Dodo's NBN 100 plan is only available for customers with FTTC, FTTP and HFC connection types. Other providers offering NBN 100 plans are available to all, including FTTN connections. That said, this introductory offer slashes a mammoth AU$180 off the first year, which is a pretty stellar saving on any NBN plan if you ask us. Even once the price increases, you'll still spend less than the average NBN 100 cost, which is AU$92.01p/m. Total minimum cost: AU$73.90 | Total first year cost: AU$886.80 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,066.80 Dodo | NBN 250 | AU$83.90p/m (for 12 months, then AU$98.90p/m) Dodo's Superfast plan savings do come in at AU$180 for the first 12 months, which is no surprise here. But what's mighty impressive about this offer is that its ongoing rate is well under the average of AU$105.66 for the tier. And it only costs AU$1,186.80 per ongoing year after the discount ends. We find this fee to be relatively modest, especially when compared to competitors' exorbitant costs, like Telstra's AU$1,560 or Optus' AU$1,428 yearly rates. Like other 250Mbps plans, Dodo's deal is only available for customers with FTTP and HFC addresses. Total minimum cost: AU$83.90 | Total first year cost: AU$1,006.80 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,186.80 If these deals don't tweak your beak, you can check out Dodo's top-rated NBN plans in the widget below.

5 Singapore Stocks at 52-Week Highs: Sell, Hold or Buy More?
You must admit it's a happy problem to have when your stock hits a 52-week high. The surge in the share price may signal that the business is improving and reporting higher profits, free cash flow, and dividends. But what should you do now? Is it better to sell the stock and to another, hold it for more upside, or to buy even more if the business continues to grow? This decision will depend on the attractiveness of the company and whether it has the potential to continue doing well in the long term. We highlight five Singapore stocks that recently hit their 52-week highs, and you can decide if you should buy more, hold, or sell them. DFI Retail Group is a pan-Asian retailer operating around 7,700 outlets and employing over 85,000 people as of 31 May 2025. The retailer's share price has shot up almost 20% year-to-date (YTD) and recently hit its 52-week high of US$2.84. DFI Retail Group released its interim management statement for the first quarter of 2025 (1Q 2025). For 1Q 2025, underlying subsidiary sales were 1% lower year on year, but underlying profit shot up 28% year on year once divestments are excluded. The group is evolving its portfolio to focus more on high-growth, high-margin businesses. To this end, it announced the sale of its Singapore Cold Storage and Giant stores back in March 2025 for S$125 million. In February, DFI Retail also completed the sale of its stake in Yonghui Superstores, netting proceeds which were used to pay down US$617 million of debt. Because of this, the retailer ended the quarter in a net cash position of US$127 million. Boustead Singapore, or BSL, is a conglomerate with four divisions – energy engineering, real estate, geospatial technology, and healthcare. Boustead's share price has risen 21.4% YTD to hit its 52-week high of S$1.25. The conglomerate reported a mixed set of earnings for its fiscal 2025 (FY2025) ending 31 March 2025. Revenue plunged 31% year on year to S$527.1 million as the group carried a much lower order book at the end of FY2024. However, gross profit improved by 3% year on year to S$233.3 million because of effective cost control. Net profit after adjusting for one-off items rose 8% year on year to S$68.6 million. In light of the improved profit, BSL declared a final dividend of S$0.04 and a special dividend of S$0.02, taking its FY2025 total dividend to S$0.075. VICOM is a leading test and inspection centre for vehicles, and the group also performs non-vehicle testing in areas such as biochemical, mechanical, and non-destructive testing. VICOM's share price has climbed steadily in recent months to hit its 52-week high of S$1.46, and is up nearly 10% YTD. The test and inspection firm reported a commendable set of earnings for 1Q 2025. Revenue jumped 19% year on year to S$33.3 million, aided by the installation of on-board units (OBUs) for the electronic road pricing 2.0. A total of 53,000 OBUs were installed in 1Q 2025 compared with 35,000 in the previous corresponding quarter. Operating profit increased by 8.7% year on year to S$9 million while net profit improved by 7.5% year on year to S$7.5 million. VICOM also churned out a positive free cash flow of S$4.5 million for the quarter. Sabana REIT owns a diversified portfolio of 18 properties in Singapore with total assets under management of around S$1 billion as of 31 December 2024. The industrial REIT's unit price shot up 11.1% YTD and hit its 52-week high of S$0.41 recently. The REIT reported a sturdy set of results for 1Q 2025 with gross revenue rising 4.6% year on year to S$29.1 million. The better results were because of higher occupancy at a multi-tenanted building, coupled with positive rental reversions across the portfolio. Net property income climbed 22% year on year to S$16 million, and distributable income per unit surged 26.5% year on year to S$0.0086. Occupancy improved slightly quarter-on-quarter to 86.4%, and the REIT continued to log a strong positive rental reversion of 15.3% for 1Q 2025. Hongkong Land Holdings, or HKL, is a property development, management, and investment group. The group's real estate footprint spans more than 830,000 square metres of property in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Shanghai. HKL's share price has risen almost 25% YTD to hit its 52-week high of US$5.54. Back in October 2024, the property group announced a strategic review to unlock value for shareholders and double its dividend by 2035. For its 1Q 2025 business update, management announced the sale of office floors and selected office space of One Exchange Square in Hong Kong for around US$810 million. This transaction means that the group has secured 30% of its target to recycle at least US$4 billion of capital by the end of 2027. In the longer term, HKL aims to recycle up to US$10 billion of capital over 10 years. The group's underlying profit for 1Q 2025 remained flat year on year and had net gearing of 16% with committed liquidity of US$3.2 billion. For Singapore, rental reversions were positive and on a committed basis, vacancy remained very low at just 0.8%. Ready to discover the next $100 billion stock?
