Acetic acid that contains very little water (less than 1%) is called anhydrous (anhydrous) acetic acid or glacial acetic acid. It is called the glacier because it solidifies into solid acetic acid crystals at room temperature (16.7 degrees Celsius). The growing demand in the PVC sector and packaging industry has been driving market growth.
The vinyl acetate monomer market segment dominates because it is widely consumed in various end-user industries, such as consumer goods, packaging, automobiles, and construction.

US President Donald Trump has signed a bill requiring the delisting of foreign companies that do not comply with the same accounting transparency standards imposed by securities regulators on US listed companies.

The Chinese government does not allow the board of directors to conduct audit inspections. A Chinese company listed in the United States. The Accounting Supervision Committee of Listed Companies was established after the accounting scandal to conduct audits and inspections of other companies listed in the United States, such as the scandal that bombed Enron in the early 2000s. Chinese companies listed in the United States have been involved in financial scandals. In the past-including this year Luckin Coffee Inc-ADR (OTC: LKNCY) led to the delisting of Nasdaq. According to an October government report, 16 Chinese companies have been delisted since February 2019. The sales star called for the delisting of the Chinese company through an investigation of the Chinese company. He told Bloomberg last month: “This is China and China’s stock promotion, manipulating fraud machines to face the SEC’s laughter.” What: The market is now waiting for any news about a specific delisting. The bill may affect 217 Chinese companies, including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd-ADR (New York Stock Exchange: BABA), JD.Com Inc. (NASDAQ: JD) ), Nio Inc-ADR (NYSE: NIO), Xpeng Inc-ADR (NYSE: XPEV) and Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ: LI). However, since the compliance period of the bill is three years, it may not be delisted immediately.

5G is here. The new network is online and expanding, and customers-individual consumers, institutional users and industrial applications-are beginning to take advantage of new technologies. The advantages of 5G are well known: faster connections, more efficient upload and download functions, lower latency, and higher security. 5G technology is essential to fully realize the potential of autonomous vehicles and IoT projects. How it affects the lives of ordinary people remains to be seen. Some top Wall Street analysts have been measuring the size of the new network, which may have an impact on related companies and their stocks. Using the TipRanks database, we collected the latest data on three such stocks, which analysts have used in the ever-growing 5G environment. CommScope Holding (COMM) will start with CommScope, a hardware provider of network infrastructure. The company produces antennas for building and tower installation, base stations and outdoor wireless system power supplies. As a holding company, these CommScope products are produced by subsidiaries and sold to customers worldwide. The company announced last month a partnership with Nokia on the passive-active antenna platform, promising to provide customers with faster 5G deployment. Earlier this month, CommScope announced a network installation (including 5G) contract with Wyandotte, Michigan, giving the company more than 25,000 potential customers. CommScope reported revenue of US$2.17 billion in the third quarter, an increase of 3% year-on-year. year. Broadband business grew by 20% year-on-year, and free cash flow reached US$350 million. Samik Chatterjee, a five-star analyst at JPMorgan, detailed CommScope’s forward-looking potential: “Our constructive view of CommScope’s stock is based on expectations of improved prospects for the outdoor wireless market, which is expected to grow from wireless networks. Benefit from the 5G densification work, combined with our continuous flexible spending from wired/broadband networks.” “We expect that the pace of investment in wired networks will continue, led by bandwidth needs to support peak usage, in addition to other things such as RDOF and satellite The adverse impact of reclamation and other measures, analysts added, Chatterjee rated the stock as “overweight” (buy), and its $18 target price implies 35% upside in the coming year. (See Chatterjee Click here.) Chatterjee is roughly in line with other Wall Street companies. In the past three months, Wall Street’s “Buy” rating on COMM is slightly higher than the “Hold” rating and see The stock rose by approximately 19 in the next 12 months, setting a target price of $15.80. (See COMM stock analysis on TipRanks) Crown Castle (CCI) The next stock on our list, Crown Castle, It is a real estate investment trust that owns and manages cellular network assets, including transmission towers and transmitter locations.

The lease agreement grants The DISH lease rights to up to 20,000 towers, including fiber optic transportation, have been granted. The quarterly revenue for the whole year has stabilized between US$1.4 and US$1.49 billion, with the latter being the latter in the most recent third quarter. The company’s site rental revenue increased by 4 %. The deployment of customers to 5G, and the subsequent demand for more tower sites, is the foundation of solid financial performance.

Become a variety of new industry catalysts, including DISH’s 5G construction and C-band spectrum deployment. “” “In particular, we believe that its agreement with DISH for up to 20,000 sites makes it the preferred tower partner. Our analysis shows that by 2027, DISH can easily account for CCI tower sites 10% of the rental income, the agreement (conservatively) increases the value of CCI by $15/share; secondly, about 70% of CCI’s sites are located in the top 100 markets, and we think the index of its portfolio is the most likely The initial C-band growth occurred.” To this end, Niknam rated CCI as “Buy” and set a target price of $180. This figure means 17% higher than current levels. (To view Niknam’s history, click here). This is the point of view of Deutsche Bank, and now let us turn our attention to the rest of Wall Street: CCI’s 3 buy and 2 positions merged into a medium buy rating.
