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). CCOs give their unique perspective on current and impending business risks and opportunities to help CEOs successfully steer their organizations through these turbulent times. Whatever the size of your organization, your customers, employees, suppliers, investors and other stakeholders have a growing list of expectations for it. Greater diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I), optimal sustainability and enhanced workers’ rights are among some of your stakeholders’ demands.

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 […]

India sees meteoric rise in e-commerce businesses, online payments through UPI | Photo Credit: Wpadington Internet penetration continues to climb at approximately 59 per cent, and as the number grows and consumer behaviour and shopping patterns continue to shift online, India represents a trillion-dollar digital opportunity that will lead consumption in this coming decade, according to a report by Bessemer Venture Partners. 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. As that slide shows, it’s one of only 186 companies in the S&P 1000 with a market cap above $5 billion. That gives it a decent size. Larger companies can benefit from scale advantages.

Net-zero is “the economic opportunity of the 21st century”, according to an independent review commissioned by the UK government. Undertaken by the Conservative former energy minister Chris Skidmore, the “ mission zero ” report includes 129 recommendations to “turbocharge” the nation’s climate action. More than half of them have a deadline of this year. The proposals include a “solar and onshore wind revolution”, an earlier ban on the sale of new gas boilers and new targets for electric-car sales imposed on manufacturers. The report contains frank criticism of the UK government, which it says is “not matching world-leading ambition with world-leading delivery”. It adds that inconsistent policymaking has led to missed opportunities for businesses. The average household stands to save up to £6,000 by 2050 if current net-zero policies are implemented, according to new analysis conducted for the review. More ambitious policies could make these savings even higher – as much as £14,000 in total. This pushes back against net-zero sceptics in the Conservative party and certain sections of the media. They have sought to portray the target as a financial burden on ordinary people and a contributor to the current energy crisis, which has, in fact, been caused […]
