REUTERS/Edgar Su/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsAug 21 (Reuters) - Singapore Telecommunications (STEL.SI) reported on Monday a 23% decline in first-quarter net profit, citing the one-off impact at Bharti Airtel (BRTI.NS) in Nigeria as the naira depreciated sharply against the U.S. dollar, as well as high costs. Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel), Southeast Asia's largest telecoms company, owns an effective 29.5% stake in India's Bharti Airtel. SingTel said in a statement net profit for the quarter ended June 30 was S$483 million ($355.91 million), compared with S$628 million a year earlier. On an underlying basis, net profit for the quarter gained 14.5% to S$571 million. SingTel also recorded a 2.7% decline in its first-quarter operating revenue to S$3.49 billion, hurt by currency exchange headwinds and competition.

“What did he just say?”Those are some of the most commonly uttered words in my home. No matter how much my wife and I crank up the TV volume, the actors in streaming movies and shows are becoming increasingly difficult to understand. We usually end up turning on the subtitles, even though we aren’t hard of hearing. In the streaming era, as video consumption shifts from movie theaters toward content shrunk down for televisions, tablets and smartphones, making dialogue crisp and clear has become the entertainment world’s toughest technology challenge. “It’s getting worse,” said Si Lewis, who has run Hidden Connections, a home theater installation company in Alameda, Calif., for nearly 40 years.

‘Sigue tu pasión’ podría ser un mal consejo

“La gente empieza a considerar el trabajo como simplemente un trabajo y esa es una buena señal”. Antes de la década de 1970, la pasión no era una prioridad para quienes buscaban trabajo, aseveró Cech, autora de The Trouble With Passion: How Searching for Fulfillment at Work Fosters Inequality. Lo importante era tener un sueldo decente, horarios y seguridad laboral y, si había satisfacción, llegaba más tarde, a medida que adquirías más destreza en el trabajo. Eso empezó a cambiar en la década de 1970, con la creciente inestabilidad laboral de los profesionales y un énfasis cultural cada vez mayor en la autoexpresión y la autosatisfacción, un cambio plasmado en el muy popular libro de 1970 ¿De qué color es tu paracaídas? En particular, preocuparte por si el trabajo te va a satisfacer aplica sobre todo al privilegiado mundo de los oficinistas.
Many view the deal as a "win-win" for ESPN, Penn, and its former partner Barstool Sports. Industry insiders say the deal could signal a potential ESPN spinoff, disrupt competition, and more. Here's what industry insiders are saying about the deal:1. FanDuel and DraftKings dominate US online sports-betting and gambling market share, followed by BetMGM, according to a July report from Macquarie that analyzed Vixio data. Industry insiders like affiliate-marketing company Gambling.com Group's Max Bichsel aren't sure about that prediction.

REUTERS/David Gray/Aug 14 (Reuters) - Australian telecom firms Telstra Group (TLS.AX) and TPG Telecom (TPG.AX) on Monday said separately they would not appeal the country's competition tribunal's decision to block an asset transfer deal between the two telecom giants. In June, the Australian Competition Tribunal upheld the competition regulator's decision to block the deal between the telecom firms, under which Telstra would have bought spectrum and transmission towers from TPG, while TPG would have kept selling 4G and 5G coverage using Telstra infrastructure. The country's competition regulator had ruled against the asset transfer deal in December citing competition concerns and potentially impacting the no. Telstra did not provide any details about its decision to not appeal the tribunal's decision in the exchange filing, and did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for further details. TPG Telecom, which also did not provide any reason, said it would "continue to explore commercial options to expand its mobile network".

REUTERS/Edgar Su/File PhotoSINGAPORE, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Singapore Exchange Ltd (SGX) (SGXL.SI) is amending its initial public offering (IPO) rules to clarify that life science companies seeking to list on its mainboard exchange do not need to be revenue-generating. The revision was based on a publication of a Listings Advisory Committee's decision on SGX's life sciences listing framework on Thursday. SGX introduced the life science listing framework in 2009, where it waived certain IPO requirements including profitability and revenue for life science companies. The rules under the life science listing framework were not adjusted to reflect 2012 amendments made to the mainboard listing criteria.

HONG KONG, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Cathay Pacific Airways (0293.HK) reported on Wednesday its best first-half profit in more than a decade and announced plans to order more planes and repay a Hong Kong government rescue package after a major turnaround in travel demand. Cathay has recovered capacity more slowly than its closest rival, Singapore Airlines, (SIAL.SI) because it faced tighter quarantine rules for longer, and needed to train more staff and bring back grounded planes. The Hong Kong carrier expects to reach 70% of its pre-pandemic capacity by the end of the year and 100% by the end of 2024. Cathay said it intended to exercise purchase rights to buy 32 Airbus (AIR.PA) A320neo family aircraft, looking to add to its fleet as demand rebounds.

The quarterly results from OCBC, also Southeast Asia's second largest lender by assets, rounded up a strong earnings season by Singapore banks as DBS Group (DBSM.SI) and United Overseas Bank (UOBH.SI) also delivered double-digit profit growth. Besides higher interest rates, Singapore lenders have also benefited from strong inflows from wealthy customers amid global uncertainty, including U.S.-China geopolitical tensions, because of the city-state's status as a financial safe-haven. Higher interest rates and slower economic growth could raise asset-quality risks for businesses and individual customers, he said, adding weak loan demand could negatively impact net interest income growth momentum once margin expansion peaks. OCBC said April-June net profit climbed to S$1.71 billion ($1.28 billion) from S$1.28 billion a year earlier mainly driven by better income growth and partly offset by higher allowances for non-impaired assets. The figure compared with a mean estimate of a S$1.76 billion profit from four analysts polled by Refinitiv.

Listed and unlisted companies can list their shares in the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) housed in the Gujarat International Financial Tech City (GIFT), which is Prime Minister Narendra Modi's flagship project. "I'm pleased to announce that the government has taken a decision to enable direct listing of listed and unlisted companies on the IFSC exchanges," Sitharaman said. Indian companies can currently only list on foreign exchanges through instruments such as depository receipts. The government had announced plans in 2020 to allow firms to have their primary listings on foreign exchanges. The government has said companies can use the IFSC route to access similar benefits of foreign capital.

SINGAPORE, July 28 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Bill Winters’ bank is finally getting its act together – to an extent. London-listed Standard Chartered (STAN.L) on Friday reported its highest first-half revenue and earnings since Winters joined as CEO in 2015. The upgraded 12%-14% top-line growth for this year, from 10% previously, caught investors' eyes, as did a chunky $1 billion share buyback programme. Winters managed to get costs down to 61% of revenue in the first half, close to his 2024 target of around 60%. Even after Friday’s bump, StanChart trades at just two-thirds of 12-month forward tangible book value, using analyst estimates gathered by Refinitiv Datastream.

July 27 (Reuters) - Singapore Airlines (SIAL.SI) said on Thursday it expects competition to intensify in the coming months as carriers scramble to take advantage of strong overseas travel demand that helped the city-state's flagship airline to post a record first-quarter profit. "Macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, as well as inflation, could pose challenges for the airline industry," the company said. Singapore Airlines said it will monitor these trends closely, and adjust its capacity and network accordingly. The airline reported a net profit of S$734 million ($554.84 million) for the three months ended June 30, compared with S$370 million a year earlier. Passenger load factor — a measure of how many seats are filled on planes — for Singapore Airlines was 88.9% in the quarter, compared with 79.0% a year ago.

VATICAN CITY, July 23 (Reuters) - Pope Francis said on Sunday that recent heat waves across many parts of the world and flooding in countries such as South Korea showed that more urgent action was needed to tackle climate change. "Please, I renew my appeal to world leaders to do something more concrete to limit polluting emissions," the Pope said at the end of his Angelus message to crowds in St. Peter's Square. Francis has called on the world to rapidly ditch fossil fuels and made the protection of the environment a cornerstone of his pontificate. On Sunday, the pope expressed solidarity with those who were suffering from the climate crisis and those helping them.

SINGAPORE, July 18 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Singapore could turn a governance crisis into an opportunity. Its transport minister S. Iswaran and Ong Beng Seng, the property billionaire credited with bringing Formula One to the city, were arrested and released on bail last week. The rare high-profile probe involving a public official by the hub’s anti-graft agency is a timely test of the Asian centre’s willingness to act tough on corruption. It's been six days since Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong revealed the investigation by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau and the exact details remain unclear. S. Iswaran and businessman Ong Beng Seng were arrested on July 11 and subsequently released on bail, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau said.
