The stock markets soar because Trump cannot take the heat from the trade war anymore.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/shares-soar-trump-hints-possible-061534970.html

Trump has relented in the US-China trade war because he cannot take the heat anymore since the mid-term November election is nearing.

We already knew this outcome and stated that the winner would be China in this trade war.

Apple iphone sales disappoint.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-iphone-sales-disappoint-selling-prices-way-203721425.html

As expected, Apple sales disappoint and we already warned about this in our previous post.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2018/10/apples-iphone-xr-is-having-lukewarm.html

This slowdown will impact other technology stocks and also apple suppliers.

Stock buybacks will boost the stock prices up but will also increase the leverage ratio.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/october-buybacks-60m-seven-stocks-060313368.html

Generally speaking, stock buybacks will boost up the stock prices but the corporate actions will also increase the leverage ratio which is not good.

Why?

If we look at the balance sheet format whereby Assets (A) = Liabilities (L) + Owner's Equities (OE), doing stock buybacks will reduce the A because money is used to buy back the shares.  Consequently, OE will reduce simultaneously because the stock capital is shrunk.  Since the leverage ratio (LR) is equal to L divided by OE and add 1, the leverage ratio will increase because the denominator (OE) is getting smaller.

LR = (L/OE) + 1

Having a high leverage ratio is dangerous for a company because LR is a multiplier. It can increase a company's profit or loss exponentially.  A high LR means that the company is a risk-taker and it is extremely risky in an interest rate rising environment.

Therefore, improving a company stock price through corporate action like stock buyback is not as good as improving the profitability of the business.

We need to take note when a company does a buyback because it may be a precursor that the company cannot improve its profitability anymore and has to resort to corporate action.
