Global Cooperation The world needs more leaders who can stay focused on long-term resilience objectives while addressing the short-term challenges. The Big Picture Crowdsource Innovation Global disruption is ramping up, everywhere from geopolitics to food and energy. Addressing these disruptions cannot be done in a piecemeal manner — we must confront them systemically. Sustained collective action by the public and private sectors is the only path forward; a resilient growth strategy is not only a necessity, but it also represents an opportunity. In the past year, leaders of public and private-sector organizations have been confronted with a lifetime’s worth of disruption and crises. Global conflict, energy uncertainty, food shortages, accelerating inflation and severe climate events rocked a world still unsettled by the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, leaders now recognize that our societies and organizations must function in an environment defined by continuous natural and man-made disruptions. These disruptions cannot be addressed in a reactive manner as they arise one after the other and reverberate through our fragile ecosystems and stressed networks. An isolated, short-term focus on a discrete recovery from every crisis is not a feasible path — there aren’t enough resources in the world to do that. We need […]

The Big Picture Crowdsource Innovation From sustainability to complex geopolitical shifts and a potential recession, CEOs have a lot to navigate in 2023. How these issues are managed often falls on the organization’s Chief Communications Officer (CCO).

Source: Shutterstock While Kontron AG ( ETR:SANT ) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the XTRA. Less-covered, small caps sees more of an opportunity for mispricing due to the lack of information available to the public, which can be a good thing. So, could the stock still be trading at a low price relative to its actual value? Let’s take a look at Kontron’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists. What’s The Opportunity In Kontron? According to my valuation model, Kontron seems to be fairly priced at around 13% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Kontron today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is €20.58, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because Kontron’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to […]

With the economy in flux and a recession looming, it’s surprising to see evidence that the current British Government is missing opportunities to harness sectors of the UK economy that have a proven track record in delivering growth. For example, the creative industries (which has a strong intersection with technological development) was worth more than £115 billion to the UK economy before the pandemic, making up as many as one in eight businesses across the country – and yet, according to a new report by the House of Lords Communications Committee, is largely being ignored by the current administration in charge. To put this into context, the UK’s creative industries, which includes everything from visual arts to software, marketing and design, in 2019 contributed more to the economy than aerospace, life sciences and automotive industries combined. Not only this, but the Committee’s report highlights how the government is seemingly failing to understand how the advancement of digital technologies could impact the creative industries in the near future – and is not putting in place regulatory frameworks to protect them. The report argues that if the UK’s creative industries are not put at the heart of the government’s future growth […]

The country has seen a meteoric rise in e-commerce businesses, online payments through the unified payments infrastructure (UPI), and the maturation of supply chain and logistics technologies, the report added. According to the report by 2030, the number of users will increase from 125 million to 500 million, and the average digital spend per person will increase from $750 to $2,000. At present, about 125 million Indians, or less than 10 per cent of the total population, and less than 20 per cent of the Internet population, transact online. The study states two major aspects of the region set the stage for increased traction among internet marketplaces: fragmentation and offline operations challenges. Moreover, the marketplaces have evolved from horizontal listing — connection platforms where sellers list their products and services and consumers find suppliers of different goods […]

The company projects to deliver powerful dividend growth for the next several years. Many dividend investors focus on a stock’s yield. However, the data points to an even more important factor: A company’s ability to increase its payout. Over the last 50 years, dividend growers have vastly outperformed companies with no change in their dividend policy (10.7% annualized total return vs. 7.1%), according to a study by Ned Davis Research and Hartford Funds. Many companies pay attractive and growing dividends. However, one stands out for its combination of having an above-average dividend yield and superior dividend growth prospects: NextEra Energy Partners ( NEP 0.08%). Dividend investors will want to consider adding it to their portfolios. A compelling value proposition Image source: NextEra Energy Partners Investor Relations Presentation.
