After more than a decade investing in tungsten mining and processing, Masan High-Tech Materials (UPCoM: MSR) is starting to generate cash for Masan Group (HOSE: MSN), with about US$350 million expected from dividends and a deal with partner Elmet. In the first 6 months of 2026, MSR booked about US$423 million in revenue and US$83 million in after-tax profit, and management expects full-year revenue of about US$1.4 billion and after-tax profit of about US$233 million. Elmet completed its purchase of a 4.99% stake in MSR for about US$125 million on October 1, 2026, while about US$225 million is expected from the 2026 dividend, subject to approval steps. From fiscal 2027, MSR plans to pay at least 50% of consolidated after-tax profit attributable to parent shareholders. Masan expects its net debt/EBITDA ratio to fall to about 2.3 times by end-2026, from 2.4 times at end-June.

- Masan Ramps Up Cooperation to Deepen Its Role in the Tungsten Supply Chain
In early October, Masan High-Tech Materials (MSR) announced that US-based advanced materials firm Elmet Group had become a strategic shareholder with a 4.99% stake, and the two companies signed a long-term tungsten supply agreement. Under the deal, MSR will supply about 1,250 tonnes of tungsten, measured by WO3 content, per year for more than 8 years, with potential total revenue of roughly USD 1.5 billion at prices at the time of announcement. The two firms had traded for over a decade, and their relationship now extends to capital and supply, linking MSR's Vietnam mining and processing capacity with Elmet's production in the US. MSR also aims to raise its tungsten oxide product capacity to over 8,000 tonnes per year. The moves come as tungsten prices surge, with APT in Europe and the US reaching USD 2,700-2,900 per mtu on October 2, about 355% higher than a year earlier.

- He Sold the Duplex to His Daughter for $540 , 000 and Took It Back in Fifteen Years of Monthly Checks . The Rent Pays the Note , and Most of Each Year Slice of Gain Has Landed in His 0 % Bracket Since 2019
A father sold a duplex to his daughter in 2019 for $540,000 on a 15-year note, and rent from the second unit covers her monthly payments. Under the installment method, each principal payment includes a tax-free return of basis and a taxable gain portion, fixed at closing as the gross profit percentage, while interest is taxed as ordinary income. Long-term gain can fall into the 0% bracket when the seller's taxable income stays low, with the 2026 limit at $49,450 for single filers and $98,900 for joint filers. Depreciation recapture must be recognized in the year of sale and is taxed before the 0% gain, and sales to an LLC the seller controls or a trust the seller benefits from generally lose installment deferral.
- He Sold the Duplex to His Daughter for $540 , 000 and Took It Back in Fifteen Years of Monthly Checks . The Rent Pays the Note , and Most of Each Year Slice of Gain Has Landed in His 0 % Bracket Since 2019
In 2019 a father sold a duplex to his daughter for $540,000 on a 15-year note, acting as the lender and paying tax on the gain only as payments came in. Rent from the second unit covers the daughter's monthly payments, and because his other income is low, most of each year's gain can fall into the 0% long-term capital gains bracket. The article notes that a sale to an individual child qualifies for installment reporting, but a sale to an LLC or trust the seller controls or benefits from could trigger full gain recognition at once. Depreciation recapture is taxed first at up to 25%, so the 0% rate applies only after that layer is used up.

- An AI bust could come from places investors arent watching , an economist says
Concerns about an AI bubble are growing, and TS Lombard's Dario Perkins warns that investors may be overlooking other risks. Debt among smaller cloud providers, model developers and suppliers could reach $2 trillion by the end of 2027. Perkins does not see this as a systemic risk, but warns that earnings disappointments and canceled orders could ripple through the ecosystem, and that a chip glut could follow over-ordering. Much of the industry's revenue growth still comes from spending within the AI ecosystem rather than from businesses and consumers outside it. He also flags political backlash, noting that ordinary people dislike AI and nearby datacenters, and warns that one high-profile accident could turn AI toxic.
- Yen jumps after JGB auction draws big demand , euro finds relief
The yen rose 0.2% to 158.15 per dollar in Asian trading after a 20-year Japanese government bond auction drew bids of 5.84 times the amount sold, well above the 4.01 times at the previous auction, and the yield fell 6 basis points to 3.71%. A State Street strategist said the record demand suggests sidelined cash is returning and that JGBs are becoming a relative haven from political and fiscal volatility in Europe, particularly France. Anti-government protests in France prompted curfews in several cities, while Italy said it would send 500 troops after two days of unrest, and the euro rallied 0.2% to $1.1234. Elsewhere, bitcoin slipped 0.3% to $81,674.25 and ether edged down 0.2% to $2,393.21.
- Unemployment rate dips to 4 . 7 % - but vacancies hit five - year low
Vacancies fell by 21,000 to 691,000 in the three months to September, the biggest drop since the three months to March and the lowest since July to September 2014 outside the pandemic, while unemployment dipped in the three months to August. Payroll numbers were down 66,000 over the year to September. The ONS said the fall was mainly among smaller firms struggling with higher labour costs, following rises in employer national insurance, the minimum wage and workers' rights. A CBI survey found labour costs and regulations were making it harder to create jobs, and firms urged the Chancellor not to add to their burden in the October 28 Budget. ICAEW's Suren Thiru said the labour market is 'running on idle' and unemployment could climb above 5 per cent, while Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith blamed Labour's 'Jobs Tax' and red tape.
- CNBC Daily Open: Tech rebounds in the U.S., but Asia isn’t buying it yet
U.S. tech stocks rebounded as the Nasdaq Composite rose more than 1% on Monday, with Nvidia up 1.4% and Tesla up 3.8%. In Asia, however, tech shares fell on Tuesday, with South Korea's Kospi down over 4% and Japan's Nikkei 225 down 1.6%. Nvidia also unveiled plans to back four German AI startups as part of its nearly $10 billion European investment commitment. Jenny Lee of Granite Asia said Asian companies are reaching IPOs much sooner, often at four to five years old, while Jio Platforms' Indian IPO saw its anchor investor quota oversubscribed more than 30 times, aiming to raise up to 302 billion rupees ($3.2 billion). In Singapore, several agricultural stocks fell after Senior Minister K Shanmugam warned that companies would not escape responsibility for possible roles in the haze, noting seven firms had been questioned by the Singapore Exchange.
- NiSource (NI) Stock Looks Overvalued Against Its Dividend Outlook
NiSource has nearly doubled shareholders' money over the past five years, delivering a 97.6% total return, which raises the question of whether dividends can justify the current share price. The article highlights a new 20-year energy agreement with Microsoft, including customer-funded grid upgrades and long-term electric service for data centers, which may affect future capital needs and cash-flow visibility. Using a Dividend Discount Model with inputs of about $1.35 dividend per share, roughly 9.07% return on equity, a payout ratio slightly above 61%, and implied dividend growth of about 3.5%, the estimated intrinsic value sits meaningfully below the current share price of $41.95. The model still does not bridge that gap, suggesting income investors are paying a premium for a relatively steady payout with modest assumed growth.
