Atlan Holdings Bhd's (KLSE:ATLAN) Earnings Are Weaker Than They Seem

Despite posting some strong earnings, the market for Atlan Holdings Bhd's (KLSE:ATLAN) stock hasn't moved much. Our analysis suggests that shareholders have noticed something concerning in the numbers. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Most companies divide classify their revenue as either 'operating revenue', which comes from normal operations, and other revenue, which could include government grants, for example. Generally speaking, operating revenue is a more reliable guide to the sustainable revenue generating capacity of the business. However, we note that when non-operating revenue increases suddenly, it will sometimes generate an unsustainable boost to profit. It's worth noting that Atlan Holdings Bhd saw a big increase in non-operating revenue over the last year. Indeed, its non-operating revenue rose from RM2.33m last year to RM71.4m this year. The high levels of non-operating revenue are problematic because if (and when) they do not repeat, then overall revenue (and profitability) of the firm will fall. Sometimes, you can get a better idea of the underlying earnings potential of a company by excluding unusual boosts to non-operating revenue. Note: we always recommend investors check balance sheet strength. Click here to be taken to our balance sheet analysis of Atlan Holdings Bhd. Since Atlan Holdings Bhd saw a big increase in its non-operating revenue over the last twelve months, we'd be very cautious about relying too heavily on the statutory profit number, which would have benefitted from this potentially unsustainable change. As a result, we think it may well be the case that Atlan Holdings Bhd's underlying earnings power is lower than its statutory profit. But the happy news is that, while acknowledging we have to look beyond the statutory numbers, those numbers are still improving, with EPS growing at a very high rate over the last year. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly. In light of this, if you'd like to do more analysis on the company, it's vital to be informed of the risks involved. Be aware that Atlan Holdings Bhd is showing 2 warning signs in our investment analysis and 1 of those shouldn't be ignored... Today we've zoomed in on a single data point to better understand the nature of Atlan Holdings Bhd's profit. But there are plenty of other ways to inform your opinion of a company. Some people consider a high return on equity to be a good sign of a quality business.

Marvell Technology Stock Rallies After AI Event Sparks Investor Optimism

Shares of Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) climbed nearly 8% on June 19, following the company's AI-focused investor event that highlighted its expanding role in the custom semiconductor market. The presentation marked a pivotal moment in Marvell's positioning within the rapidly evolving AI hardware landscape, and investors responded with strong buying interest. The event showcased Marvell's latest advances in custom AI accelerators, along with a bullish outlook on the market opportunity ahead. The company raised its estimate for the custom AI chip total addressable market (TAM) to $55 billion by 2028, up from a prior estimate of $43 billion. It also increased its data center semiconductor TAM to $94 billion, a jump from its earlier projection of $75 billion. Marvell also disclosed two new customer wins for its next-generation AI accelerators, adding to its existing portfolio of three major partners, likely hyperscale cloud providers, although names weren't disclosed. Copyright: ralwel / 123RF Stock Photo Several major analysts responded positively to the event. Bank of America raised its price target to $90, calling Marvell's pipeline 'stronger and more diverse than previously understood.' Deutsche Bank reaffirmed its bullish stance with an $85 target, while Citi and Morgan Stanley held steady at $96 and $73, respectively. The rally comes as a welcome reversal for Marvell, which had been under pressure for much of the year and remains roughly 30% below its 52-week high. The AI presentation appears to have restored confidence in the company's roadmap and its ability to compete with larger players like Nvidia and Broadcom in the fast-growing AI infrastructure space. Still, analysts note that sustained momentum will depend on execution, especially around revenue visibility, hyperscaler retention, and the ability to convert design wins into long-term production contracts. As AI continues to reshape the semiconductor landscape, Marvell's more aggressive push into custom chips could give it a critical edge—if it can deliver on what it's now promised. MRVL is one of the most crowded hedge fund stocks that are targeted by short sellers. While we acknowledge the potential of MRVL as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

We are having a candy moment

Customers make their selections at Lil Sweet Treat on Newbury Street.

Enter Email Sign Up The shops are a child's wildest dream, but they are here for the adults. 'What we're trying to capture is that feeling of feeling like a kid in a candy store,' says Ross, who calls her customers 'candy connoisseurs' and emphasizes the concept of community. 'How do you create those moments of magic and joy, in even the smallest parts of your day? Everyone needs a little joy right now, and candy has that. It knows no bounds. Regardless of age, culture, gender, ethnicity, everyone can appreciate a sweet treat.' Advertisement On Clarendon Street in the South End, Madeleine's Candy Shop specializes in Swedish candy and more. It opened in February. Devra First Especially right now. Lil Sweet Treat arrives on the heels of 'I've always had a major sweet tooth, and the Swedish candy craze was taking off in New York. I'd be Googling, walking around trying to find it,' says founder Madeleine Brason, who left a career in clinical research for candy. 'I identified a gap in the market for candy stores, and also in a selfish way, I wanted a lifetime supply of unlimited candy for myself.' Another pick-and-mix-style candy store, If it seems candy sales must be exploding, that isn't the case exactly. Dollar sales are up (2.5 percent for chocolate and 3.6 for non-chocolate), but unit sales are down (2 and .9 percent respectively), according to Chicago-based market research firm Circana. Cocoa prices continue to rise, and budgets continue to tighten. Consumers are shifting purchasing patterns, perhaps buying less candy or different candy. But there is still candy in almost every household in America. 'We have not seen households back away from treating,' says Sally Lyons Wyatt, global EVP and chief adviser for Circana. 'Candy is one of those categories that everybody loves. It is something that brings joy, it is something essential to social occasions, and that I don't think is ever going to waver.' Advertisement Happy Buttons are one of Lil Sweet Treat's own offerings, bouncy and chewy smiley faces in strawberry, raspberry, pear, and pineapple. Jonathan Wiggs/Globe Staff In this landscape, one category keeps doing well: gummy candy. Consumers (particularly younger ones) cannot resist the lure of brightly colored, chewy, sweet, and tart gummies in a glorious riot of shapes and textures. 'The only categories growing in interest from younger consumers are all chewy: chewy candy, beef jerky, gum,' says Hunter Thurman, founder of Cincinnati-based consulting firm Alpha-Diver, which focuses on why consumers do the things they do. 'Chewing actually has some real proven stress relief ability.' In case you haven't noticed, the last few years have been a lot. 'We have measured it, and we have seen over the last five to six years people are feeling more and more anxious and stressed. The upshot is more people are looking to make themselves feel better,' Thurman says. 'From an evolutionary psychology perspective, food and drink are right at the core of how we help ourselves feel better. There's a reason there's a phrase called comfort food.' The scene inside Boston's Lil Sweet Treat on a recent Thursday afternoon. Jonathan Wiggs/Globe Staff Perhaps we are candy freaks because we are control freaks. 'If you ask a psychologist what do human beings crave above all else, there's one answer: control,' Thurman says. 'Something like candy is very easy to control. I can't control what's happening in Iran or the economy, but I can control something that makes me feel better in the near term.' Banana-caramel Bubs? Don't mind if I do. It's emotional self-regulation. Advertisement Stores like Lil Sweet Treat, Madeleine's Candy Shop, and Nantasket Sweets are tapping into this: Safe spaces, Thurman calls them. They also offer an experience, one more affordable than tickets to a game or a concert, or a new outfit, or dinner out. (Although these candies aren't cheap, priced at around $20 per pound, it's all relative.) In a recent Circana snacking survey, 59 percent of consumers said they like to eat snacks that add excitement to their daily diet, and 58 percent are looking for authentic and/or unique experiences, says Lyons Wyatt. Eric Williams makes pick-and-mix selections at Lil Sweet Treat. Jonathan Wiggs/Globe Staff 'Those stores are the answer to this,' she says. 'They are really feeding into the experience, the excitement. Let's face it, it's been pretty heavy stuff the last few years. These stores are just a breath of fresh of air.' That's the idea. This summer, Madeleine's Candy Shop will open an adjacent ice cream window, serving creemees, Vermont's take on soft-serve. (Yes, you can add candy to your ice cream.) 'I think in a post-pandemic world we're really just looking to feel like kids again and have that nostalgia and be playful,' says Brason, who offers chopsticks with each bag of candy, to aid customers in their nibbling. 'With a candy store like this, the options are limitless. We can have a lot of fun.' Sour hitschies from Belgium at Lil Sweet Treat. Jonathan Wiggs/Globe Staff Devra First can be reached at
