In FY 2023, Tesla is expected to grow revenues 23%, so analysts expect an acceleration of growth to occur which relates to the continual scaling of Tesla&#39;s Model 3 and Y production, but also to the beginning ramp of the Cybertruck which is expected to hit the market in the middle of FY 2023. However, with Tesla pursuing an aggressive pricing strategy, revenue may grow even more rapidly than the 30% growth rate implied by analysts&#39; top line estimates.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/45267019e1945f4058d269c50e8d760a\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Based off of current top line estimates, Tesla is valued at 4.0X FY 2024 revenues, but investors currently get a 39% discount to the company&#39;s 1-year average P/S ratio. Tesla achieved a P/S ratio as high as 10.4X within the last year, so I believe shares have considerable re-rating potential once investors are prepared to move on from the price cut announcement.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c569afaf180d39d2dad51061e24c0df1\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Compared against other US-based EV companies, Tesla is still the best deal in the industry, in my opinion, despite a slightly higher P/S ratio.

This could be a risky strategy for the company, especially if other EV manufacturers follow suit and lower their product prices, which, in the worst-case, could lead to an escalating price war in the EV segment where margins are already low. Tesla is the leading global EV brand, but weaker margins are unlikely to win the cheers of investors and may ultimately hurt Tesla&#39;s profitability.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Final thoughts</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">I believe investors should see last week&#39;s 10% price correction as a strong buying opportunity now that investors have become more fearful again. While it is true that Tesla is going to pay for stronger revenue growth with lower profits in the short term, it could be a successful strategy to drive electric vehicle demand and therefore lead to market share gains. Since Tesla, as opposed to many other start-ups in the EV industry, is already profitable, the company can afford an aggressive pricing strategy. Since shares of Tesla once again dropped and fear has affected the market again, I believe this 10% sell-off is a new opportunity to capitalize on this fear. The time for me to sell shares of Tesla, again, will be when the market turns super bullish on the EV company and investors are euphoric.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Tesla: Buy The Fear, Sell The Hype, Rinse And Repeat</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nTesla: Buy The Fear, Sell The Hype, Rinse And Repeat\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-04-24 23:22 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4595961-tesla-buy-fear-sell-hype-rinse-repeat><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryTesla's earnings release for Q1'23 resulted in a 10% share price drop.After selling out of Tesla in February, I am rebuying Tesla at a much more attractive valuation.Tesla is set to continue to...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4595961-tesla-buy-fear-sell-hype-rinse-repeat\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4595961-tesla-buy-fear-sell-hype-rinse-repeat","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1156592135","content_text":"SummaryTesla's earnings release for Q1'23 resulted in a 10% share price drop.After selling out of Tesla in February, I am rebuying Tesla at a much more attractive valuation.Tesla is set to continue to dominate the EV market due to its large size and scale, but short-term profitability risks have risen.Tesla Shanghai GigafactoryAfter Tesla's valuation soared more than 100% between January 2023 and February 2023, I recommended investors to sell the EV company's shares as there was a clear risk of an overheating stock price rally -- Tesla: Take Profits When Others Are Greedy.

Cost-cutting efforts slowed GMV growth, but as the industry is heading toward profitability, thus fewer discounts, customers will be looking for a better customer experience, in our view. However, competition is here to stay as social commerce is gaining traction. The stock is attractive at $62 per share (30% margin of safety). $66 per share (25% margin of safety) is also a good entry point.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">A New Kid On The Block, But Soon Become A Tech Giant</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Originally started as a digital entertainment company in 2009, Sea Limited (NYSE:SE) is a Singapore-based tech company with a $45 billion market capitalization. The company’s operations span across countries, including Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Brazil. The market in Southeast Asia, which more specifically includes Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, contributes more than 60% of Sea’s revenue.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b468d98f9cff8351e96ccb675990ae06\" alt=\"Sea&#39;s revenue contributors by geographical area (Vektor Research)\" title=\"Sea&#39;s revenue contributors by geographical area (Vektor Research)\" tg-width=\"569\" tg-height=\"420\"/><span>Sea&#39;s revenue contributors by geographical area (Vektor Research)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In general, Sea has three business segments: Garena, a digital entertainment business; Shopee, an e-commerce platform; and a digital financial services provider under SeaMoney. As of 2022, Shopee contributed almost 60% of Sea’s revenue.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bff722fc1c13e0cbaf23d1e39f2e51d6\" alt=\"Segments contribution to revenue (%) (Vektor Research)\" title=\"Segments contribution to revenue (%) (Vektor Research)\" tg-width=\"569\" tg-height=\"420\"/><span>Segments contribution to revenue (%) (Vektor Research)</span></p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">How Does Sea Make Money?</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">First, Sea launches and operates third-party games and helps its partners with marketing, distribution, and monetization. Free Fire is the company’s first in-house developed game, and together with four third-party games, contributed 98% of Sea’s digital entertainment revenue. Those games are free to play, but players can purchase in-game items, from which Sea monetizes its gaming platform under the so-called “freemium” model.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Second, Shopee is an e-commerce platform where individuals, small-medium enterprises, and large retailers under Shopee Mall sell their products by paying transaction fees. Sellers can upgrade their status to Star or Star+ after completing a few milestones but will be charged a higher transaction fee, hoping that buyers will consider them more “trusted” sellers than non-Star ones. Alternatively, sellers will gain more clicks by topping up the “coin” balance and using those coins for Shopee’s advertising services. Additionally, Shopee also engages in the food delivery business under Shopee Food.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31e8e836b706ce207fbad6d6e8cc1ec0\" alt=\"Shopee&#39;s transaction fees (Shopee)\" title=\"Shopee&#39;s transaction fees (Shopee)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"253\"/><span>Shopee&#39;s transaction fees (Shopee)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Lastly, Sea provides digital financial services, including mobile wallet (ShopeePay), buy now pay later service (SPayLater), and digital banking services. Further, Sea acquired a local Indonesian bank in 2020 and launched SeaBank Indonesia a year later, and SeaBank Philippines was opened in 2022. Sea charges fees and interests and receives premiums (insurance business) for its services.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">What&#39;s Up With The Stock?</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Sea’s stock bottomed up from $40 per share and now trades at $79 per share. The company pivoted from being growth-driven to a profit-minded one, with its operating income turning positive to $343 million. Why the pivot? The Motley Fool noted Sea’s CEO’s memo to employees suggesting the inability to “raise funds in the market” due to “investors fleeing for ‘safe haven’ investments.” Additionally, Tencent had shed its stake from 21.3% to 18.7% early last year before its COO left Sea’s board of directors.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/016819409b67a9550445878277934a61\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As a result, the company cut costs left and right by “reviewing” its headcount, being selective in “high potential projects,” and better targeting its marketing spend. For example, Sea reportedly laid off around 10% of its workforce at some point last year and effectively reduced its sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue to 14% in 4Q22 from ~25%-40%.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8a931f85a5c4aa3509a23be65e28c317\" alt=\"Sea&#39;s sales and marketing expenses as a % of revenue (Vektor Research)\" title=\"Sea&#39;s sales and marketing expenses as a % of revenue (Vektor Research)\" tg-width=\"569\" tg-height=\"415\"/><span>Sea&#39;s sales and marketing expenses as a % of revenue (Vektor Research)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">This helps improve Shopee’s unit economics, as seen in Figure 6. Sales incentive that exceeds the revenue expected by the company will be recorded in sales and marketing expenses. According to the annual report, excess incentive was about 12% of revenue in 2022 and less than 5% in 4Q22, suggesting that Sea has aggressively reduced discounts and promotions.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7eef2b8a809c5a22515d4c431a01b3fe\" alt=\"Shopee&#39;s unit economics (Vektor Research)\" title=\"Shopee&#39;s unit economics (Vektor Research)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"350\"/><span>Shopee&#39;s unit economics (Vektor Research)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Nevertheless, gross orders declined 15% (Y/Y), and GMV growth slowed to 8% (Y/Y) in 4Q22 from 21% (Y/Y) in 3Q22 on a constant currency basis. Reported GMV declined 1.1% (Y/Y). Moreover, Sea reported $7.3 billion in e-commerce revenue last year–lower than its then-full-year guidance of $8.8 billion (mid-point), later scrapped due to a shift to “focus on efficiency and optimization for the long-term strength and profitability of the e-commerce business.&#34; In turn, take rate increases supported Sea&#39;s e-commerce top-line growth. Operating cash flow was a negative $1.1 billion last year (-$1.8 billion minus share-based compensation).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61b99842606897676083b252be90ace4\" alt=\"GMV and e-commerce revenue growth (Vektor Research)\" title=\"GMV and e-commerce revenue growth (Vektor Research)\" tg-width=\"564\" tg-height=\"406\"/><span>GMV and e-commerce revenue growth (Vektor Research)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/649409dc1f9d2077c49d3e996a229db7\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">But this did not stop the stock price from rising, as investors and analysts have been eyeing Sea&#39;s cost-cutting efforts, which turned its EBIT positive. Still, concerns remain about whether such efforts will come at the expense of top-line growth. Lastly, is Sea providing an attractive buying opportunity?</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7924a5ab9c99a0e186899709186d8f39\" alt=\"Sea&#39;s consensus revenue revision trend (Seeking Alpha)\" title=\"Sea&#39;s consensus revenue revision trend (Seeking Alpha)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"223\"/><span>Sea&#39;s consensus revenue revision trend (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f415315da88912e696ab00caf08a197\" alt=\"Sea&#39;s consensus EPS revision trend (Seeking Alpha)\" title=\"Sea&#39;s consensus EPS revision trend (Seeking Alpha)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"224\"/><span>Sea&#39;s consensus EPS revision trend (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">1. The Industry&#39;s Potential Remains Largely Untapped</h2><h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Southeast Asia and Latin America e-commerce markets remain under-penetrated...</h4><p style=\"text-align: left;\">We believe that Sea’s growth story is still in play. While the e-commerce market in Southeast Asia has grown five times larger, it remains under-penetrated. According to McKinsey, Indonesia and Singapore had a ~30% penetration rate, while the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam trailed at ~15%. Looking forward, the consultancy expects the market to grow 22% annually until 2026.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">For example, Alpha JWC Ventures and Kearney published a study on the untapped potential of Indonesia&#39;s tier 2 and tier 3 cities. The study noted that those cities lagged three to five years in the digital adoption of tier-1 cities and that “familiarization” is likely the key driver to adoption. How big is the market? The e-commerce market size for tier 2 and 3 cities is expected to grow to ~$45 billion GMV in 2025 from ~$9 billion GMV in 2020. Additionally, the buy now, pay later service also helps spur e-commerce growth, given that the credit card penetration is only 6% in the country, as noted by BCG.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Further, Shopee has gained traction in Brazil since its inception in 2019. Revenue grew over 225% (Y/Y) in 3Q22, and unit economics gradually improved. It had recorded &#34;below $2&#34; adjusted EBITDA loss per order before HQ expenses (contribution margin) in 4Q21 before improving to a $0.47 loss in a year later.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Latitud noted that Latin America’s e-commerce market remained fast-growing, and its penetration rate was estimated to be less than 12% in 2022. Statista noted that retail online sales in Latin America were around $168 billion in 2022, which only accounted for 11% of total retail sales. The figure is estimated to increase to ~20% by 2026. Additionally, the International Trade Administration said that Shopee was number two in market share in Brazil, preceded by Argentina-based MercadoLibre (MELI).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Sea&#39;s growth story comes from not only a low penetration rate but also a take rate expansion. While Sea is improving monetization in its core marketplace business, its take rate is also supported by Shopee Brazil. In general, the take rate in Brazil was &#34;materially higher than many other market,&#34; the management said. For example, MELI&#39;s commerce take rate stood at ~17%, which expanded thanks to &#34;advertising revenues and the incremental monetization on shipping and logistics.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">We acknowledge that it is tough to quantify how much Shopee Brazil will impact the overall take rate since Sea does not (or rarely) disclose the e-commerce revenue per region. In 4Q21, Shopee Brazil recorded more than $70 million in revenue, which accounts for over 4% of total e-commerce revenue. If we are making an educated guess, assuming that the revenue growth was about 200% (Y/Y) in the 4Q22 (actual growth was 270% in 2Q22 and 225% in 3Q22), it would make up about 10% of Sea&#39;s e-commerce revenue. Our assumption for Sea&#39;s e-commerce take rate stands at 12-13% by 2025.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cf9113184a4cba66038966bb3baf12ca\" alt=\"MELI&#39;s take rate (Company)\" title=\"MELI&#39;s take rate (Company)\" tg-width=\"576\" tg-height=\"408\"/><span>MELI&#39;s take rate (Company)</span></p><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">...giving chances for digital payment services providers</h3><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Opportunities are also wide open for Sea’s digital financial services. Visa (NYSE: V) found that mobile wallets and contactless cards drove digital payment in Southeast Asia and that respondents prefer mobile wallets over cards. Why? 56% of respondents in the region cited “the ability to earn rewards and receive promotional discounts and cash back” as one of the key reasons to use e-wallets, BCG noted. Yet, customers appear to have stickiness as some people said they would still use e-wallets without promotions and discounts.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As more people use e-wallets, this is where SeaBank comes into play. For example, in Indonesia, ShopeePay users typically top up their wallet through bank transfers or cash payment in local convenience stores. However, they are required to pay Rp1,000 (~$0.07) or Rp1,500 (~$0.1) per top up depending on the payment method they use. While such figures appear minuscule, what if users top up their e-wallets per transaction? Having a SeaBank account allows depositors to top up ShopeePay and transfer their money to another bank up to 100 transactions for free.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Digital banks are gaining traction. SeaBank Indonesia reported satisfying earnings results, as net income stood at ~$18 million in 2022 from a loss of ~$21 million in 2021, per Tech in Asia. Moreover, loan disbursements almost tripled to $1.1 billion from $409 million. Still, there is plenty of leeway for growth as Indonesia has the third-largest unbanked population in the world, according to the World Economic Forum.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">2. Players Are Heading Toward Profitability</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">While Sea successfully cut costs, GMV growth slowed, posing a question of whether the company could balance growth and profitability. When asked about the topic, the management said during the last earnings call:</p><blockquote>Now in terms of outlook and balancing growth and profitability. So as we shared also, our outlook for markets in the long run remains very strong. Because of its demographic features, the young rolling population, deepened digital penetration vis-à-vis offline retail and also the economic growth potential of our region.</blockquote><p style=\"text-align: left;\">We agree that the long-term outlook remains strong, as we pointed out previously. However, while e-commerce companies ramp up their sales incentive to gain market share, they have been unable to create stickiness. Otherwise, why would e-commerce companies still resort to aggressive promotions for years?

An aggressive 30% margin of safety suggests that an attractive entry price is $62 per share.Investment ThesisWe believe that the Southeast Asia and Latin America e-commerce markets remain under-penetrated, and the unbanked population provides opportunities for digital financial services. Cost-cutting efforts slowed GMV growth, but as the industry is heading toward profitability, thus fewer discounts, customers will be looking for a better customer experience, in our view. However, competition is here to stay as social commerce is gaining traction. The stock is attractive at $62 per share (30% margin of safety). $66 per share (25% margin of safety) is also a good entry point.A New Kid On The Block, But Soon Become A Tech GiantOriginally started as a digital entertainment company in 2009, Sea Limited (NYSE:SE) is a Singapore-based tech company with a $45 billion market capitalization. The company’s operations span across countries, including Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Brazil. The market in Southeast Asia, which more specifically includes Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, contributes more than 60% of Sea’s revenue.Sea's revenue contributors by geographical area (Vektor Research)In general, Sea has three business segments: Garena, a digital entertainment business; Shopee, an e-commerce platform; and a digital financial services provider under SeaMoney. As of 2022, Shopee contributed almost 60% of Sea’s revenue.Segments contribution to revenue (%) (Vektor Research)How Does Sea Make Money?First, Sea launches and operates third-party games and helps its partners with marketing, distribution, and monetization. Free Fire is the company’s first in-house developed game, and together with four third-party games, contributed 98% of Sea’s digital entertainment revenue. Those games are free to play, but players can purchase in-game items, from which Sea monetizes its gaming platform under the so-called “freemium” model.Second, Shopee is an e-commerce platform where individuals, small-medium enterprises, and large retailers under Shopee Mall sell their products by paying transaction fees. Sellers can upgrade their status to Star or Star+ after completing a few milestones but will be charged a higher transaction fee, hoping that buyers will consider them more “trusted” sellers than non-Star ones. Alternatively, sellers will gain more clicks by topping up the “coin” balance and using those coins for Shopee’s advertising services. Additionally, Shopee also engages in the food delivery business under Shopee Food.Shopee's transaction fees (Shopee)Lastly, Sea provides digital financial services, including mobile wallet (ShopeePay), buy now pay later service (SPayLater), and digital banking services. Further, Sea acquired a local Indonesian bank in 2020 and launched SeaBank Indonesia a year later, and SeaBank Philippines was opened in 2022. Sea charges fees and interests and receives premiums (insurance business) for its services.What's Up With The Stock?Sea’s stock bottomed up from $40 per share and now trades at $79 per share. The company pivoted from being growth-driven to a profit-minded one, with its operating income turning positive to $343 million. Why the pivot? The Motley Fool noted Sea’s CEO’s memo to employees suggesting the inability to “raise funds in the market” due to “investors fleeing for ‘safe haven’ investments.” Additionally, Tencent had shed its stake from 21.3% to 18.7% early last year before its COO left Sea’s board of directors.Data by YChartsAs a result, the company cut costs left and right by “reviewing” its headcount, being selective in “high potential projects,” and better targeting its marketing spend. For example, Sea reportedly laid off around 10% of its workforce at some point last year and effectively reduced its sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue to 14% in 4Q22 from ~25%-40%.Sea's sales and marketing expenses as a % of revenue (Vektor Research)This helps improve Shopee’s unit economics, as seen in Figure 6. Sales incentive that exceeds the revenue expected by the company will be recorded in sales and marketing expenses. According to the annual report, excess incentive was about 12% of revenue in 2022 and less than 5% in 4Q22, suggesting that Sea has aggressively reduced discounts and promotions.Shopee's unit economics (Vektor Research)Nevertheless, gross orders declined 15% (Y/Y), and GMV growth slowed to 8% (Y/Y) in 4Q22 from 21% (Y/Y) in 3Q22 on a constant currency basis. Reported GMV declined 1.1% (Y/Y). Moreover, Sea reported $7.3 billion in e-commerce revenue last year–lower than its then-full-year guidance of $8.8 billion (mid-point), later scrapped due to a shift to “focus on efficiency and optimization for the long-term strength and profitability of the e-commerce business.\" In turn, take rate increases supported Sea's e-commerce top-line growth. Operating cash flow was a negative $1.1 billion last year (-$1.8 billion minus share-based compensation).GMV and e-commerce revenue growth (Vektor Research)Data by YChartsBut this did not stop the stock price from rising, as investors and analysts have been eyeing Sea's cost-cutting efforts, which turned its EBIT positive. Still, concerns remain about whether such efforts will come at the expense of top-line growth. Lastly, is Sea providing an attractive buying opportunity?Sea's consensus revenue revision trend (Seeking Alpha)Sea's consensus EPS revision trend (Seeking Alpha)1. The Industry's Potential Remains Largely UntappedSoutheast Asia and Latin America e-commerce markets remain under-penetrated...We believe that Sea’s growth story is still in play. While the e-commerce market in Southeast Asia has grown five times larger, it remains under-penetrated. According to McKinsey, Indonesia and Singapore had a ~30% penetration rate, while the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam trailed at ~15%. Looking forward, the consultancy expects the market to grow 22% annually until 2026.For example, Alpha JWC Ventures and Kearney published a study on the untapped potential of Indonesia's tier 2 and tier 3 cities. The study noted that those cities lagged three to five years in the digital adoption of tier-1 cities and that “familiarization” is likely the key driver to adoption. How big is the market? The e-commerce market size for tier 2 and 3 cities is expected to grow to ~$45 billion GMV in 2025 from ~$9 billion GMV in 2020. Additionally, the buy now, pay later service also helps spur e-commerce growth, given that the credit card penetration is only 6% in the country, as noted by BCG.Further, Shopee has gained traction in Brazil since its inception in 2019. Revenue grew over 225% (Y/Y) in 3Q22, and unit economics gradually improved. It had recorded \"below $2\" adjusted EBITDA loss per order before HQ expenses (contribution margin) in 4Q21 before improving to a $0.47 loss in a year later.Latitud noted that Latin America’s e-commerce market remained fast-growing, and its penetration rate was estimated to be less than 12% in 2022. Statista noted that retail online sales in Latin America were around $168 billion in 2022, which only accounted for 11% of total retail sales. The figure is estimated to increase to ~20% by 2026. Additionally, the International Trade Administration said that Shopee was number two in market share in Brazil, preceded by Argentina-based MercadoLibre (MELI).Sea's growth story comes from not only a low penetration rate but also a take rate expansion. While Sea is improving monetization in its core marketplace business, its take rate is also supported by Shopee Brazil. In general, the take rate in Brazil was \"materially higher than many other market,\" the management said. For example, MELI's commerce take rate stood at ~17%, which expanded thanks to \"advertising revenues and the incremental monetization on shipping and logistics.\"We acknowledge that it is tough to quantify how much Shopee Brazil will impact the overall take rate since Sea does not (or rarely) disclose the e-commerce revenue per region. In 4Q21, Shopee Brazil recorded more than $70 million in revenue, which accounts for over 4% of total e-commerce revenue. If we are making an educated guess, assuming that the revenue growth was about 200% (Y/Y) in the 4Q22 (actual growth was 270% in 2Q22 and 225% in 3Q22), it would make up about 10% of Sea's e-commerce revenue. Our assumption for Sea's e-commerce take rate stands at 12-13% by 2025.MELI's take rate (Company)...giving chances for digital payment services providersOpportunities are also wide open for Sea’s digital financial services. Visa (NYSE: V) found that mobile wallets and contactless cards drove digital payment in Southeast Asia and that respondents prefer mobile wallets over cards. Why? 56% of respondents in the region cited “the ability to earn rewards and receive promotional discounts and cash back” as one of the key reasons to use e-wallets, BCG noted. Yet, customers appear to have stickiness as some people said they would still use e-wallets without promotions and discounts.As more people use e-wallets, this is where SeaBank comes into play. For example, in Indonesia, ShopeePay users typically top up their wallet through bank transfers or cash payment in local convenience stores. However, they are required to pay Rp1,000 (~$0.07) or Rp1,500 (~$0.1) per top up depending on the payment method they use. While such figures appear minuscule, what if users top up their e-wallets per transaction? Having a SeaBank account allows depositors to top up ShopeePay and transfer their money to another bank up to 100 transactions for free.Digital banks are gaining traction. SeaBank Indonesia reported satisfying earnings results, as net income stood at ~$18 million in 2022 from a loss of ~$21 million in 2021, per Tech in Asia. Moreover, loan disbursements almost tripled to $1.1 billion from $409 million. Still, there is plenty of leeway for growth as Indonesia has the third-largest unbanked population in the world, according to the World Economic Forum.2. Players Are Heading Toward ProfitabilityWhile Sea successfully cut costs, GMV growth slowed, posing a question of whether the company could balance growth and profitability. When asked about the topic, the management said during the last earnings call:Now in terms of outlook and balancing growth and profitability. So as we shared also, our outlook for markets in the long run remains very strong. Because of its demographic features, the young rolling population, deepened digital penetration vis-à-vis offline retail and also the economic growth potential of our region.We agree that the long-term outlook remains strong, as we pointed out previously. However, while e-commerce companies ramp up their sales incentive to gain market share, they have been unable to create stickiness. Otherwise, why would e-commerce companies still resort to aggressive promotions for years? SurveySensum’s findings also confirm our belief as “value for money” is the second biggest reason why e-commerce users switch to online stores.Fortunately, e-commerce companies “mutually agree” that sacrificing the bottom line for aggressive promotions and discounts is not sustainable. For example, GoTo, Shopee’s biggest competitor in Indonesia’s e-commerce landscape with 35% GMV market share in 2020 vs. Shopee’s 37% (Momentum Works data), expects its adjusted EBITDA to turn positive in 4Q23. Yet, the company said it would “try to react” when facing competition, albeit in a “sustainable manner.” Interestingly, GoTo is suspending its GTV and gross revenue guidance to “focus on efficiency and profitability.” Other Indonesia-based players, such as Blibli and Bukalapak, are also making their way to profitability.GoTo Adjusted EBITDA as a % of GTV (Company)We believe the industry is becoming more rational, with profitability becoming the number one priority. This also triggers customers to increasingly look beyond price and prefer a better customer experience, in our view. For example, GoTo is increasing intra-city selection availability outside Greater Jakarta, so that customers can order same-day delivery using its first-party logistic services, thus improving economies of scale. Investment in logistics remains a priority for Sea, as said by Sea’s management:And another thing is, as we shared before, the reason we are very focused on cost structure, in particular, logistics, is because we are trying to expand the profitable TAM for the market as a whole by addressing sellers and buyers who are underserved or unaddressed by existing players and having a better structure, having more target focus on the mass market allow us to be a differentiated player in the market, capturing a significant share of the pie in our view.Counterpoint: The Industry Has Low Barriers To EntryBut it is not all fun and games, as competition is here to stay. We think the industry’s low barriers to entry make it easier for new players to enter the competitive landscape. For example, social commerce, such as TikTok Shop and Instagram Shop, proliferates. According to a survey by Populix, 86% of respondents in Indonesia have tried shopping on social media, with 46% of them having shopped for goods in TikTok Shop. Further, The Information reported that TikTok’s GMV in Southeast Asia quadrupled to $4.4 billion in 2022 according to sources familiar with internal data, as cited in Tech in Asia.While we can argue that TikTok has already had sizable users in the first place, it demonstrates how quickly companies can enter the competitive landscape and gain traction. As we are writing, TikTok is giving discount coupons to new customers. Our view is that while the industry is more rational, things could change quickly as new players enter the market with aggressive promotions and discounts. Existing players are likely to walk the same path to protect market share at the expense of possibly margin erosions, in our view.ValuationOur fair value estimate for Sea Limited is $88 per share (12% upside), derived from a 10-year DCF valuation (9% WACC, 4% long-term growth), implying a forward P/E of 51x.

dominant storyline -- make that only storyline -- as two of Big Tech&#39;s biggest players prepare to announce quarterly results next week.</p><p>While Alphabet Inc.&#39;s (GOOGL)(GOOGL) Google reportedly races to develop a new search engine powered by AI, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a> Inc. (META) is changing its sales pitch to advertisers from a focus on the metaverse to artificial intelligence to drum up short-term revenue. Meta is expected to make an announcement around its plans next month.</p><p>With advertising sales -- their primary source of revenue -- in a funk, both companies are scrambling to shore up sales through the promise of AI. &#34;Brace for a long ad winter&#34; that &#34;may well persist&#34; until the second half of 2023, Evercore ISI analyst Mark Mahaney said in a note last week.</p><p>Meta&#39;s annual advertising revenue is expected to reach $51.35 billion in 2023, up 2.7% from $50 billion from 2022. It is forecast to grow 8% to $55.5 billion in 2024, according to market researcher Insider Intelligence. Facebook&#39;s parent company is expected to announce its latest round of layoffs on Wednesday.</p><p>Google, by comparison, is expected to haul in $71.5 billion in 2023, up 2.9% from $69.5 billion in 2022. Ad sales are expected to increase 6.2% to $75.92 billion in 2024. Like Meta, Google is rumored to be planning more layoffs soon.</p><p>&#34;AI is the hot thing. And Meta is playing down the metaverse [which inspired its corporate name change] for now in favor of AI with advertisers,&#34; Evelyn Mitchell, senior analyst at Insider Intelligence, told MarketWatch. &#34;It is a solid strategy during an unprecedented year of economic uncertainty after years of astronomical growth in tech.&#34;</p><p>Against a slowdown in ad sales, tech executives have incessantly hyped the promise of AI this year during earnings calls. Mentions of artificial intelligence soared 75% even as the number of companies referencing the technology has barely budged, according to a MarketWatch analysis of AlphaSense/Sentieo transcript data for companies worth at least $5 billion. They pointed to the operational efficiency of AI and its potential as a short-term revenue producer.</p><p>&#34;AI is the most profound technology we are working on today,&#34; Alphabet Chief Executive Sundar Pichai said during the company&#39;s last earnings call in January, according to a transcript provided by AlphaSense/Sentieo.</p><p>Read more: Tech execs didn&#39;t just start talking about AI -- but they are talking about it a lot more</p><p>Google&#39;s AI pivot is primarily motivated by the potential loss of Samsung Electronics Co. as a default-search-engine customer to rival Microsoft Corp.&#39;s (MSFT) Bing. Google stands to lose up to $3 billion in annual sales if Samsung bolts, though the South Korean company has yet to make a final decision, according to a New York Times report. An additional $20 billion is tied to a similar Apple Inc. (AAPL) deal that&#39;s up for renewal this year.</p><p>&#34;This is going to impact every product across every company,&#34; Pichai said about AI in a &#34;60 Minutes&#34; interview that aired Sunday night.</p><p>Soft ad sales in a wobbly economy dinged the revenue -- and stock -- of social-media companies in the previous quarter, prompting tens of thousands of layoffs. In addition to Meta and Google, Twitter Inc. and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNAP\">Snap Inc</a>. (SNAP) suffered ad declines in the fourth quarter of 2022.</p><p>Cowen analyst John Blackledge says a first-quarter call with digital ad experts this month suggests continued pricing weakness for Meta, with Google in better shape on the strength of its dominant search engine.

The <strong>Nasdaq</strong> <strong>Composite</strong>, <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong>, and <strong>Dow Jones Industrial Average</strong> gained 16.7%, 7%, and 0.4%, respectively.</p><p>With the tech-heavy Nasdaq leading the way higher, some investors are wondering: What technology names are worth owning right now? </p><p>These three Motley Fool contributors are eyeing <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Limited </a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOFI\">SoFi Technologies </a>, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a>. Here&#39;s why.</p><h2>A banking crisis overshadows SoFi&#39;s numerous positives</h2><p><strong>Justin Pope</strong> <strong>(SoFi Technologies):</strong> It&#39;s been tough living as a digital bank for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOFI\">SoFi Technologies</a>. The company&#39;s been plagued by a student loan freeze for several years, and the recent banking crisis has only shaken investor confidence in smaller lenders. Shares are trading near the low end of their 52-week range, down 77% from their high.</p><p>But the bank&#39;s on firmer ground than its share price might indicate. First, SoFi is well capitalized -- well above the minimum financial ratios regulators mandate, and its depositor base of 5.2 million members is more diversified than a bank like Silicon Valley Bank. Second, there&#39;s a student loan freeze in effect, which has hurt SoFi&#39;s loan refinancing business, which was huge before the pandemic.</p><p>However, it hasn&#39;t stopped SoFi from marching toward profitability. The company posted non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $143 million in 2022 and is guiding for $260 million to $280 million for 2023. Importantly, management expects net income under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to turn positive by the end of the year.</p><p>Between a banking crisis and a student loan freeze, it&#39;s hard to imagine what else could go wrong for SoFi. That&#39;s why the stock could rebound when the smoke clears. The student loan freeze seems on course to end later this year, and it looks like the government will do what&#39;s needed to ensure confidence in the banking system.</p><p>Then, investors might better appreciate SoFi&#39;s rapidly growing user base, looming profitability, and strong balance sheet. CEO Anthony Noto reiterated his confidence, buying roughly $1.2 million in stock last month. You can&#39;t predict when, but SoFi&#39;s stock could spring higher at the first sign of positive news.</p><h2>The tech conglomerate that may soon seem &#39;unlimited&#39;</h2><p><strong>Will Healy</strong> <strong>(Sea Limited): </strong>Admittedly, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Limited</a> stock may appear to have moved too far too fast. Since falling to a low of just under $41 per share last November, it has more than doubled.</p><p>Still, in other ways, Sea Limited appears far from done. The tech conglomerate, which includes the e-commerce business Shopee and fintech segment Sea Money, has drawn investor interest amid a push to cut costs and turn profitable.</p><p>Sea Money has continued to grow at a triple-digit clip, though it only makes up around 10% of the company&#39;s revenue. Earlier in the year, Shopee reversed most of its expansion plans outside its core Southeast Asian market. But the strategy seems to have worked as e-commerce revenue of $7.3 billion rose 42% in 2022 compared with the prior year.</p><p>Additionally, the factor that could make Sea Limited&#39;s stock fully turn around is the reversal of declining revenue in its gaming segment, Garena. Garena&#39;s <em>Free Fire </em>was the world&#39;s most downloaded mobile game from 2019 to 2021, but its popularity has waned amid a decline in the gaming industry. Consequently, Garena&#39;s revenue dropped 9% in 2022 to $3.9 billion.</p><p>However, Newzoo forecasts player numbers will grow from 3.2 billion in 2022 to 3.5 billion by 2025. Such growth should help reverse declines in the gaming industry. That could accelerate Sea Limited&#39;s revenue growth, which in 2022 surged 25% to $12.4 billion.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7498cb1aa3bf16d1bb26dcaf39931135\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\"/></p><p>SE PS Ratio data by YCharts</p><p>Moreover, despite the recent surge in the stock price, investors should remember that Sea Limited sells at a discount of more than 70% from its all-time high in the fall of 2021. As a result, it trades at a P/S ratio of 4. That is just above all-time lows and well below the record sales multiple of just above 30 in 2021.</p><p>Such a valuation could induce investors to brave the waters. And given the entertainment stock&#39;s potential when all three segments are in a growth mode, the new bull market in Sea Limited stock may have only just begun.</p><h2>Adobe&#39;s stock is still a bargain</h2><p><strong>Jake Lerch (Adobe):</strong> Shares of software giant <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a> have been on a wild ride over the last year and a half. The stock is still more than 44% off its all-time high of $688.37, even after rallying 35% over the last six months.</p><p>Yet, to my eye, Adobe has room to run higher from here -- <em>much higher</em>. Why? Two reasons.</p><p>First, Wall Street has been wrong. Many analysts have expected a pullback in demand for Adobe&#39;s products that just hasn&#39;t materialized. The company has beaten earnings expectations in four straight quarters. Adobe&#39;s rockstar lineup of products, including Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXP.AU\">Experience</a> Cloud, continue to draw in new customers and help retain existing ones.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a973d5cfbfe76f197b5f5eae7c9931b1\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"449\"/></p><p>ADBE data by YCharts</p><p>Second, Adobe&#39;s valuation still looks attractive.

The Nasdaq Composite, S&P 500, and Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 16.7%, 7%, and 0.4%, respectively.With the tech-heavy Nasdaq leading the way higher, some investors are wondering: What technology names are worth owning right now? These three Motley Fool contributors are eyeing Sea Limited , SoFi Technologies , and Adobe. Here's why.A banking crisis overshadows SoFi's numerous positivesJustin Pope (SoFi Technologies): It's been tough living as a digital bank for SoFi Technologies. The company's been plagued by a student loan freeze for several years, and the recent banking crisis has only shaken investor confidence in smaller lenders. Shares are trading near the low end of their 52-week range, down 77% from their high.But the bank's on firmer ground than its share price might indicate. First, SoFi is well capitalized -- well above the minimum financial ratios regulators mandate, and its depositor base of 5.2 million members is more diversified than a bank like Silicon Valley Bank. Second, there's a student loan freeze in effect, which has hurt SoFi's loan refinancing business, which was huge before the pandemic.However, it hasn't stopped SoFi from marching toward profitability. The company posted non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $143 million in 2022 and is guiding for $260 million to $280 million for 2023. Importantly, management expects net income under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to turn positive by the end of the year.Between a banking crisis and a student loan freeze, it's hard to imagine what else could go wrong for SoFi. That's why the stock could rebound when the smoke clears. The student loan freeze seems on course to end later this year, and it looks like the government will do what's needed to ensure confidence in the banking system.Then, investors might better appreciate SoFi's rapidly growing user base, looming profitability, and strong balance sheet. CEO Anthony Noto reiterated his confidence, buying roughly $1.2 million in stock last month. You can't predict when, but SoFi's stock could spring higher at the first sign of positive news.The tech conglomerate that may soon seem 'unlimited'Will Healy (Sea Limited): Admittedly, Sea Limited stock may appear to have moved too far too fast. Since falling to a low of just under $41 per share last November, it has more than doubled.Still, in other ways, Sea Limited appears far from done. The tech conglomerate, which includes the e-commerce business Shopee and fintech segment Sea Money, has drawn investor interest amid a push to cut costs and turn profitable.Sea Money has continued to grow at a triple-digit clip, though it only makes up around 10% of the company's revenue. Earlier in the year, Shopee reversed most of its expansion plans outside its core Southeast Asian market. But the strategy seems to have worked as e-commerce revenue of $7.3 billion rose 42% in 2022 compared with the prior year.Additionally, the factor that could make Sea Limited's stock fully turn around is the reversal of declining revenue in its gaming segment, Garena. Garena's Free Fire was the world's most downloaded mobile game from 2019 to 2021, but its popularity has waned amid a decline in the gaming industry. Consequently, Garena's revenue dropped 9% in 2022 to $3.9 billion.However, Newzoo forecasts player numbers will grow from 3.2 billion in 2022 to 3.5 billion by 2025. Such growth should help reverse declines in the gaming industry. That could accelerate Sea Limited's revenue growth, which in 2022 surged 25% to $12.4 billion.SE PS Ratio data by YChartsMoreover, despite the recent surge in the stock price, investors should remember that Sea Limited sells at a discount of more than 70% from its all-time high in the fall of 2021. As a result, it trades at a P/S ratio of 4. That is just above all-time lows and well below the record sales multiple of just above 30 in 2021.Such a valuation could induce investors to brave the waters. And given the entertainment stock's potential when all three segments are in a growth mode, the new bull market in Sea Limited stock may have only just begun.Adobe's stock is still a bargainJake Lerch (Adobe): Shares of software giant Adobe have been on a wild ride over the last year and a half. The stock is still more than 44% off its all-time high of $688.37, even after rallying 35% over the last six months.Yet, to my eye, Adobe has room to run higher from here -- much higher. Why? Two reasons.First, Wall Street has been wrong. Many analysts have expected a pullback in demand for Adobe's products that just hasn't materialized. The company has beaten earnings expectations in four straight quarters. Adobe's rockstar lineup of products, including Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and Experience Cloud, continue to draw in new customers and help retain existing ones.ADBE data by YChartsSecond, Adobe's valuation still looks attractive. As you can see above, Adobe's stock price has more or less tracked its trailing-12-month revenue over the last 10 years. However, right now, its stock price is lagging far behind its revenue. This is why the company's price-to-sales ratio stands at 10, below its long-term average of 12.I expect Adobe will deliver solid sales and earnings results going forward -- thanks to its subscription model and its best-of-breed creative software solutions. And if that happens, Adobe's stock could be off to the races.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":141,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9946715636,"gmtCreate":1681055395725,"gmtModify":1681055399250,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","text":"Pls like thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9946715636","repostId":"1144582463","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1144582463","pubTimestamp":1681022046,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1144582463?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-04-09 14:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"BofA Securities Out With Top “Strong Buy” Stock Ideas for Q2 2023","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1144582463","media":"24/7 Wall St.","summary":"Incredibly, the first quarter is now history, after a volatile 90 days to start 2023 that saw the re","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Incredibly, the first quarter is now history, after a volatile 90 days to start 2023 that saw the return of bank failures, rising interest rates, the ongoing war in Ukraine, continued hot and sticky inflation, and a host of additional items that have kept the pressure on stocks. Despite all the negatives, each of the major indexes finished the quarter higher.

Despite all the negatives, each of the major indexes finished the quarter higher. The tech-heavy Nasdaq led the way, closing up almost 17%, while the S&P 500 scratched out a hard-fought 7% gain and the Dow Jones industrials just barely closed positive, up 0.5%.The question on the minds of many investors and traders is what the second quarter will bring. With a host of top strategists forecasting recession later this year, and interest rates likely to climb higher, it could be a more-of-the-same quarter. With a reported $508 billion moved to cash during the first quarter, there is plenty of dry powder for stocks, but will the economy remain strong enough for another big move higher?BofA Securities is among the first out with top ideas for the second quarter of 2023. Its research report has eight stocks to buy, long ideas that at first glance look like outstanding stock picks for growth investors. It also has two that are expected to underperform, CarMax Inc. and United Airlines Holdings Inc., which could be possible short sale candidates for investors who are more aggressive.It is important to remember that no single analyst report should be used as a sole basis for any buying or selling decision.CubeSmartThis self-storage real estate investment trust (REIT) may seem an odd beneficiary of rising rates, but it is one. CubeSmart (NASDAQ: CUBE) is a self-administered, self-managed REIT. Its self-storage properties are designed to offer affordable, easily accessible and secure storage space for residential and commercial customers. According to the Self-Storage Almanac, CubeSmart is one of the top three owners and operators of self-storage properties in the United States.In a rising rate environment, hard assets like real estate gain in value, and the self-storage REITs are also in a good position as capital expenditures and the need for additional capital are often very low.Investors receive a 4.13% dividend. The BofA Securities price target for CubeSmart stock is $64, and the consensus target is $51.40.FedExGiven the huge increase in internet shopping and sales, the delivery giant has a strong path for growth. FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) provides transportation, e-commerce and business services in the United States and internationally.Its FedEx Express segment offers express transportation, small-package ground delivery and freight transportation services; time-critical transportation services; and cross-border enablement, technology and e-commerce transportation solutions. The FedEx Ground segment provides day-certain delivery services to businesses and residences.

The Corporate, Other and Eliminations segment offers integrated supply chain management solutions, specialty transportation, customs brokerage and global ocean and air freight forwarding services.

BofA Securities has set its price target at $305. FedEx stock has a consensus target of $239.81.FlowserveThis company should get a boost from the potential for an improving economy, and the proposed infrastructure build. Flowserve Corp. (NYSE: FLS) designs, manufactures, distributes and services industrial flow management equipment in the United States, the Middle East, Europe and elsewhere.Its Flowserve Pump Division segment offers custom and pre-configured pumps and pump systems, mechanical seals, auxiliary systems, replacement parts, upgrades and related aftermarket services, including installation and commissioning services, seal systems spare parts, repairs, advanced diagnostics, rerate and upgrade solutions, retrofit programs and machining and asset management solutions.

Flowserve distributes its products through direct sales, distributors, and sales representatives.The dividend yield here is 2.32%. The BofA Securities price objective is $40, while the consensus target is $37.30.Lamb WestonWhile somewhat off the radar, this is a safer play for nervous investors. Lamb Weston Holdings Inc. (NYSE: LW) produces, distributes and markets value-added frozen potato products to retail and foodservice customers; grocery, mass merchants, club and specialty retailers; and businesses, educational institutions, independent restaurants, regional chain restaurants and convenience stores worldwide.The company offers frozen potatoes, commercial ingredients and appetizers under the Lamb Weston brand, as well as under various customer labels. It also offers its products under its owned or licensed brands, such as Grown in Idaho and Alexia, and other licensed brands, as well as under retailers’ brands. In addition, it engages in the vegetable and dairy businesses.Lamb Weston stock comes with a 1.07% dividend. The $115 BofA Securities price target compares with a $107.80 consensus target.Lowe’sThis leading home improvement retailer has a low 6% of foreign sales, and it remains a top pick at Goldman Sachs. Lowe’s Companies Inc (NYSE: LOW) has more than 2,000 stores in the United States and Canada. The company has tempered its new store opening plans and is focusing investments on technology and e-commerce capabilities, in addition to improving its retail store productivity.Lowe’s offers products for maintenance, repair, remodeling and home decorating. It provides home improvement products under the categories of kitchens and appliances; lumber and building materials; tools and hardware; fashion fixtures; rough plumbing and electrical; lawn and garden; seasonal living; paint; home fashions; storage and cleaning; flooring; millwork; and outdoor power equipment. The company also offers installation services through independent contractors in various product categories.Top analysts have felt for some time that the company’s tool rental business, which is a $1.5 billion revenue opportunity, is a strong catalyst for multiple expansion.Shareholders receive a 2.06% dividend. Lowe’s Companies stock has a $278 target price at BofA Securities.NetflixThe entertainment and production giant has evolved in a big way over the past few years and could be ready to soar higher. Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) offers TV series, documentaries, feature films and mobile games across various genres and languages. It provides members the ability to receive streaming content through a host of internet-connected devices, including TVs, digital video players, television set-top boxes and mobile devices. The company has approximately 231 million paid members in 190 countries.The BofA report noted this:Supported by its world class brand, leading global subscriber base and position as a leading innovator, we believe Netflix is poised to outperform driven by four main drivers: (1) a crackdown on password sharing, (2) the introduction of a value oriented, ad-supported tier which expands the total-addressable-market and monetization, (3) an inflection point in free cash flow, and (4) a significant subscriber runway accelerating by the shift from linear to streaming.The BofA Securities price target of $410 is well above the $357.23 consensus figure.ProgressiveOne business that never seems to struggle is insurance, and this is a leader in the industry. Progressive Corp. (NYSE: PGR) provides personal and commercial auto, personal residential and commercial property, general liability, and other specialty property-casualty insurance products and related services in the United States. It operates in three segments.Its Personal Lines segment writes insurance for personal autos and recreational vehicles.

(NYSE:PLTR) stock has lost its post-earnings luster, as we cautioned investors to &#34;be fearful when others are greedy&#34; in our previous update.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As such, we believe it&#39;s opportune to assess whether the current buy levels are appropriate for investors who waited patiently for the momentum surge to dissipate as bottom fishers likely took profit.</p><p>Software or SaaS stocks represented by the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) have not followed through with Nasdaq&#39;s (NDX) (QQQ) outperformance since the start of 2023.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The QQQ&#39;s outperformance has been driven by the surge in semiconductor stocks (SOXX) (SMH) through the AI-hype cycle, as investors bet on companies providing the chips and software ecosystem to build the underlying infrastructure for AI training and inference.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As such, companies like Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD) have outperformed. Even recent laggard Intel (INTC) has performed remarkably well as investors rotated to semi stocks.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As one of the pre-eminent AI/ML plays among its SaaS peers, we believe PLTR will be able to leverage its well-developed capabilities as the world turns to more AI and not less.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Palantir&#39;s real-world outcomes through the deployment of its system and analytics have been proven, given its exposure and contracts with the US Department of Defense or DoD.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Moreover, the company announced recently that it had expanded its partnership with Microsoft Azure (MSFT) to the public sector. Accordingly, Palantir Federal Cloud Service, or PFCS, &#34;achieved FedRAMP authorization and accreditation to support workloads at US Department of Defense Impact Level or IL 4 and DoD IL5 on Microsoft Azure.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As such, it has improved the integration capabilities for Palantir&#39;s government and commercial customers on Azure, enhancing its moat against other AI upstarts.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Palantir also published two noteworthy articles on AI ethics and efficacy, and AI automation, which we urge investors to parse.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Notably, Palantir noted an AI hype cycle going on as the investing community deliberates which of these companies could be a multi-bagger. However, the company also stressed that investors must be wary about what AI can and cannot achieve.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In other words, Palantir reminded investors not to fall for unproven hype that has not demonstrated its efficacy in real-world outcomes and without a solid and executable ethical bedrock (not just wishy-washy guidelines) to guide their actions. The company added:</p><blockquote>From self-driving vehicles to radiology and predicting job success based on candidate video snippets, there is a growing disillusionment with AI snake oil, alongside an increasing need to discover the credible bedrock underneath the sands of an AI hype cycle. In practice, this means examining what works, discarding what doesn’t, and recentering our moral frameworks around the contexts and whole-of-domain challenges of operationalized AI and away from vain musings about paper clips and trollies. We see both sides of this continued erosion of confidence as symptoms of a single confusion: the tendency to adopt lofty and often performative aspirations without working through the essential groundwork that should apply to any technology intended to be deployed in the real world. - <em>Palantir blog post on The Efficacy and Ethics of AI Must Move Beyond the Performative to the Operational</em></blockquote><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Hence, investors are urged not to fall into the fallacy of chasing hype trains that have yet to prove their worth. As such, when investing in AI/ML stocks, it&#39;s also important to consider whether they have the foundation to build effective AI systems that can solve real-world challenges.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Palantir stressed that its approach &#34;is to start with the operational context and build and adapt software solutions that contextualize challenges in full view of their complexities.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In addition, the company stresses that there are limitations to what its AI systems can achieve. Notably, this must be clearly communicated and aligned with &#34;morally defensible technologies.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Furthermore, the company stressed that its approach is not a &#34;comprehensive panacea&#34; but &#34;a tool among other tools, rather than as a standalone entity.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Makes sense? Palantir has been building AI systems for the last two decades. So if there&#39;s one company that has likely put in place a comprehensive framework for building and applying AI/ML technologies in deploying bespoke systems ethically, we believe Palantir stands out.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The company warned investors that other companies that don&#39;t have such a holistic framework could face unforeseen regulatory hurdles in the future, leading to &#34;AI winter,&#34; which could potentially scupper their business models.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Even the recent race between Google (GOOG) (GOOGL) and Microsoft has brought to the fore the ethical considerations in building and deploying their AI systems.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The need for speed to grab market share (Microsoft) and avoid possible disruption (Google) has lowered ethical guardrails. The NYT recently reported through interviews with current and former employees that the competition has intensified between the two tech behemoths to the point that both companies are willing &#34;to take greater risks with their ethical guidelines set up over the years to ensure their technology does not cause societal problems.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The NYT also surfaced an internal email by Microsoft Deputy CTO Sam Schillace that the failure to build with urgency was an &#34;absolutely fatal error in this moment to worry about things that can be fixed later.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">With that in mind, we believe that Palantir is well-positioned to survive or even thrive when the regulatory backlash (We bet that it will come, just a matter of time) finally arrives. Those companies that don&#39;t have the rock-solid foundation of Palantir could be sent to the &#34;AI Winter&#34; that Palantir argued.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Hence, investors are urged to be wary about piling into any AI stock and ride the hype train of the moment.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">PLTR has declined nearly 25% from its February highs back to a level that we considered reasonable in early February.

It cautioned that possible regulatory backlash and reckoning could lead to a painful \"AI Winter.\"The company stressed that its systems are built on \"efficacy and ethics\" from the start, ensuring that they work and are \"morally defensible.\"With PLTR down nearly 25% from its February highs, investors can start to assess the opportunity to add exposure as PLTR pulls back to a more attractive level.Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:PLTR) stock has lost its post-earnings luster, as we cautioned investors to \"be fearful when others are greedy\" in our previous update.As such, we believe it's opportune to assess whether the current buy levels are appropriate for investors who waited patiently for the momentum surge to dissipate as bottom fishers likely took profit.Software or SaaS stocks represented by the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) have not followed through with Nasdaq's (NDX) (QQQ) outperformance since the start of 2023.The QQQ's outperformance has been driven by the surge in semiconductor stocks (SOXX) (SMH) through the AI-hype cycle, as investors bet on companies providing the chips and software ecosystem to build the underlying infrastructure for AI training and inference.As such, companies like Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD) have outperformed. Even recent laggard Intel (INTC) has performed remarkably well as investors rotated to semi stocks.As one of the pre-eminent AI/ML plays among its SaaS peers, we believe PLTR will be able to leverage its well-developed capabilities as the world turns to more AI and not less.Palantir's real-world outcomes through the deployment of its system and analytics have been proven, given its exposure and contracts with the US Department of Defense or DoD.Moreover, the company announced recently that it had expanded its partnership with Microsoft Azure (MSFT) to the public sector. Accordingly, Palantir Federal Cloud Service, or PFCS, \"achieved FedRAMP authorization and accreditation to support workloads at US Department of Defense Impact Level or IL 4 and DoD IL5 on Microsoft Azure.\"As such, it has improved the integration capabilities for Palantir's government and commercial customers on Azure, enhancing its moat against other AI upstarts.Palantir also published two noteworthy articles on AI ethics and efficacy, and AI automation, which we urge investors to parse.Notably, Palantir noted an AI hype cycle going on as the investing community deliberates which of these companies could be a multi-bagger. However, the company also stressed that investors must be wary about what AI can and cannot achieve.In other words, Palantir reminded investors not to fall for unproven hype that has not demonstrated its efficacy in real-world outcomes and without a solid and executable ethical bedrock (not just wishy-washy guidelines) to guide their actions. The company added:From self-driving vehicles to radiology and predicting job success based on candidate video snippets, there is a growing disillusionment with AI snake oil, alongside an increasing need to discover the credible bedrock underneath the sands of an AI hype cycle. In practice, this means examining what works, discarding what doesn’t, and recentering our moral frameworks around the contexts and whole-of-domain challenges of operationalized AI and away from vain musings about paper clips and trollies. We see both sides of this continued erosion of confidence as symptoms of a single confusion: the tendency to adopt lofty and often performative aspirations without working through the essential groundwork that should apply to any technology intended to be deployed in the real world. - Palantir blog post on The Efficacy and Ethics of AI Must Move Beyond the Performative to the OperationalHence, investors are urged not to fall into the fallacy of chasing hype trains that have yet to prove their worth. As such, when investing in AI/ML stocks, it's also important to consider whether they have the foundation to build effective AI systems that can solve real-world challenges.Palantir stressed that its approach \"is to start with the operational context and build and adapt software solutions that contextualize challenges in full view of their complexities.\"In addition, the company stresses that there are limitations to what its AI systems can achieve. Notably, this must be clearly communicated and aligned with \"morally defensible technologies.\"Furthermore, the company stressed that its approach is not a \"comprehensive panacea\" but \"a tool among other tools, rather than as a standalone entity.\"Makes sense? Palantir has been building AI systems for the last two decades. So if there's one company that has likely put in place a comprehensive framework for building and applying AI/ML technologies in deploying bespoke systems ethically, we believe Palantir stands out.The company warned investors that other companies that don't have such a holistic framework could face unforeseen regulatory hurdles in the future, leading to \"AI winter,\" which could potentially scupper their business models.Even the recent race between Google (GOOG) (GOOGL) and Microsoft has brought to the fore the ethical considerations in building and deploying their AI systems.The need for speed to grab market share (Microsoft) and avoid possible disruption (Google) has lowered ethical guardrails. The NYT recently reported through interviews with current and former employees that the competition has intensified between the two tech behemoths to the point that both companies are willing \"to take greater risks with their ethical guidelines set up over the years to ensure their technology does not cause societal problems.\"The NYT also surfaced an internal email by Microsoft Deputy CTO Sam Schillace that the failure to build with urgency was an \"absolutely fatal error in this moment to worry about things that can be fixed later.\"With that in mind, we believe that Palantir is well-positioned to survive or even thrive when the regulatory backlash (We bet that it will come, just a matter of time) finally arrives. Those companies that don't have the rock-solid foundation of Palantir could be sent to the \"AI Winter\" that Palantir argued.Hence, investors are urged to be wary about piling into any AI stock and ride the hype train of the moment.PLTR has declined nearly 25% from its February highs back to a level that we considered reasonable in early February. While it's not yet close to the attractive levels we highlighted in December, we believe investors who waited can consider looking for an opportunity to add exposure.However, the price action is not optimal and, therefore, not supported by constructive bottoming. Hence, investors should keep spare ammo to average down into more attractive zones if the volatility persists.Rating: Buy (Revised from Hold).","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":42,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9948764956,"gmtCreate":1680794720375,"gmtModify":1680794724266,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","text":"Pls like thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9948764956","repostId":"1114555542","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114555542","pubTimestamp":1680794782,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1114555542?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-04-06 23:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"How The S&P 500 Could See 4,500 And 3,000 By Year-End","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114555542","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryA combination of the current macro environment, technical indicators, and some historical pre","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Summary</h2><ul><li><p>A combination of the current macro environment, technical indicators, and some historical precedents combine to make this a rare market climate.</p></li><li><p>This is the part of the market cycle where some wild performance events occur, in either direction or quite possibly both.</p></li><li><p>I continue to believe that there is an extremely high range of possible outcomes for the S&amp;P 500 the rest of this year.</p></li><li><p>Bottom line: We could see the index move 500 points from here in both directions before 2023 ends.</p></li></ul><p>That zebra in the picture is carrying a message for us all: 2023 is a year that, when we hear hoof beats coming, we shouldn&#39;t automatically think it&#39;s a horse.

Translated to investment terms: Expect the unexpected.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">This MOFO says the market still has many unresolved issues</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here is the list of market-influencing factors I keep. I wrote about what I call the &#34;Market Outlook Factor Overview&#34; on Seeking Alpha back in February.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e1439a9cbd86699b1e4ffa30088b0db2\" alt=\"MOFO as of March, 2023\" title=\"MOFO as of March, 2023\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"172\"/><span>MOFO as of March, 2023</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>MOFO as of March 2023 (ModernIncomeInvestor.com)</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">What I notice in looking back over this list for the past year now is that the 10 components have not changed much. That is, the market is still trying to make a definitive choice about what to worry about and what it can comfortably put in the rearview mirror. Inflation is receding, at least for now. But it is not going away. Some may cheer 4-5% instead of 9% on this measure, but that is still well above what consumers are used to paying. Furthermore, sustained higher borrowing rates, especially for companies with BBB credit ratings or lower, are facing a refinancing wave during the next 12 months, and that may prove challenging. And, in some cases, may prompt serious going-concern issues for many companies. In other words, you can run a business on debt up to a certain point. And when that point is reached, it&#39;s a dead end. We are about at that point.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">I&#39;ll note a couple of other stubborn impediments that make the market even more uncertain than usual as we enter the second quarter of 2023. What&#39;s coming down the pike includes reduced corporate earnings, which we&#39;ll start seeing en masse within days. And we&#39;re only 3 months from a US government debt ceiling showdown. Then, there&#39;s fading enthusiasm for China&#39;s grand re-opening, not to mention the increasing gamesmanship over technology, balloons, and other areas of contention.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">When a professional hockey game is tied after 3 periods of 20 minutes each, the announcer might say, &#34;60 minutes is not enough to settle this one.&#34; Then, they go to overtime. That&#39;s what 2023 feels like: The overtime period from 2022. Same lingering issues, different year. And with the NHL playoffs around the corner, I feel obligated to remind you that in the playoffs, the game doesn&#39;t end in overtime until one team scores. That can result in games that go on for 2 or 3 additional periods or more, until someone finally puts one in the net. The equivalent with the stock market? Maybe we&#39;ll be in a trading range for years. It&#39;s happened before.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">That which doesn&#39;t kill bullish sentiment makes it stronger?</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">At the same time, even cautious investor types like me, who have been waiting for that proverbial other shoe to drop, are wondering if the bulls have taken all the bears can throw at them, and whether this will just be a gradual transition to a new bull market. But it will just take a while.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">To be clear: when it comes to market history, I don&#39;t reference it to say it will happen again the same way. I do believe that market history shows us what is possible, because it has happened before. That said, history is made all the time, like last year when stocks and bonds fell together in a way we have not seen in modern times. So, here are a couple of competing historical periods, one for the bulls and one for the bears.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">First, here&#39;s a fairly recent period (January 2015 through June 2016) where the S&amp;P 500 was as indecisive as it has been over the past 12 months. As a technician, I see a lot of failed attempts to break out, similar to what we&#39;ve seen since the start of 2022. We get rallies, but they fail. Then we get more excitement, bulls proclaim the bottom is in, and it is a thrilling time... for a few weeks or maybe a couple of months.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7d238de596866092408e32712f1a459\" alt=\"Chart\" title=\"Chart\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\"/><span>Chart</span></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">It helps keep us grounded when we realize that the stock market doesn&#39;t always go up or down sustainably. Sometimes it just goes nowhere, and you try your best to find areas of outperformance at the sector, industry or thematic level. Or you focus more on generating income, since price appreciation is hard to muster.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">2008 post-Bear Stearns/pre-Lehman period: Some similarities</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">And then, there&#39;s this reminder from history. We just had a major banking industry scare. It might be over, but it probably isn&#39;t. No matter what your view is on it, you have a chance of being right.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">I am more concerned, as always, with how my investments ultimately fare rather than what events will occur. I am far from the only market participant who invested through 2008 and recalls vividly that the Bear Stearns crisis was the warning shot. The collapse of Lehman Brothers 6 months later is what nearly brought the economy and market to their knees. According to reports at the time, the US Treasury Secretary was literally brought to his knees, pleading for government action. That was a more dramatic version of what we just saw a few weeks ago. See the chart below from that year.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">On March 10, 2023, the leading stock market indexes bottomed, at least temporarily, as potential banking industry contagion was snuffed out. Ironically, that was the same date in 2008 when the SPDR® S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) bottomed, following the sale of ailing investment bank Bear Stearns, and so did Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ). From March 10, 2008 through June 5 of that year, a span of less than 3 months, SPY gained 10% and QQQ vaulted higher by 22%. You can see that move on the left side of the chart.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/900bf5b5806b26298064196127238635\" alt=\"Chart\" title=\"Chart\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\"/><span>Chart</span></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">What happened from that point (June 5, 2008)? The market came to realize that Bear Stearns was the first shoe to drop. Lehman was the second. And by November 19, 2008, SPY fell 42% and QQQ dropped by 47%.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Adding up the 2 periods, from March 10 to November 19, just over 8 months&#39; time, SPY&#39;s net loss was 31% and QQQ&#39;s a similar 33%. But why bring up this history? That was 15 years ago.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">The case for S&amp;P 4,500 this year</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Because I think it&#39;s a given that the stock market can break out and go wildly higher at any time. All it would take is what has happened many times since the Global Financial Crisis: central banks give in, flood the system with cheap money, and kick the debt can down the road. Fiscal insanity has been the norm for over a decade. And so, as much as I lean bearish here, and have since late 2021, all bets are off if the &#34;pivot,&#34; or at least the market&#39;s interpretation of one, becomes a reality. That could lift the market from its current SPY level of around $409 to about 10% higher, as occurred during the same time period in 2008. 10% on top of $409 is $450 on the SPY. Or about 4,500 on the S&amp;P 500. That&#39;s still below the all-time high set at the start of last year, but clearly within reach. And given the current &#34;first-class status&#34; given to QQQ, on the assumption that the giant technology companies are a source of relative safety right now, that market measure could go much higher, as it did in 2008 before the big drop occurred. So far, so good on that analog, given the strong performance of QQQ and SPY since that March 10 low this year.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/847a90fa93dc0489f87c3ce665ae4755\" alt=\"Chart\" title=\"Chart\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\"/><span>Chart</span></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">The case for S&amp;P 3,000 this year</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Whether it is the banking malaise, a domino effect from it, or any combination of that and the list of MOFO items I listed above... or something not even on the market&#39;s radar yet, we cannot dismiss the possibility that we&#39;ll see much lower levels in the major indexes before 2023 is over. To paraphrase John Belushi&#39;s character in the classic movie &#34;Animal House,&#34; nothing is over until the market decides it is!</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">When the recent banking crisis low occurred, the S&amp;P 500 was at $386. In 2008 and again in 2020, the market showed us that it can fall very hard in just a matter of months or even weeks. If the second shoe drops, whatever the reason, it seems apparent to me from some of the sharp late-day selloffs we&#39;ve already seen this year that liquidity could dry up very quickly.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">So, take that $386 SPY top and knock 31% off of it, a la 2008, and you get $266, or about 2,660 on the S&amp;P 500. Let&#39;s be generous and round that up to 3,000. The point here is not the specific figures. It is that we have a collection of factors, mostly negative, but with the offset of an ever-optimistic crowd ready to pounce on any sign that the Fed will save the day. Besides, back in 2008, the market fell 37% for the year, but the first 9 weeks of 2009 were just as bad. So 3,000 is enough downward-facing projection for one article.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">2008 is an analog, and I am far from the first to pair 2023&#39;s market activity with it. We all realize that projecting the future is a Wall Street tradition, but the accuracy of those projections is not. However, my main point again is this: conditions are ripe for a period of extreme swings in the major markets.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Portfolio strategy</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">My views continue as they have been:</p><ol><li><p>Play defense first. Short-term US Treasuries are historically attractive, and active defense, either via ETFs like the ProShares Short S&amp;P500 ETF (SH), the ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (VIXY), or buying put options on SPY or the S&amp;P 500 itself are all examples to consider.</p></li><li><p>Find ways to play offense for that potential &#34;melt-up&#34; described above. As I mentioned in a recent article, I have used out-of-the-money QQQ call options, but any broad market equity ETF can potentially be a tactical weapon at times like these.

It could be a rarer, horse-like animal, a zebra. Translated to investment terms: Expect the unexpected.This MOFO says the market still has many unresolved issuesHere is the list of market-influencing factors I keep. I wrote about what I call the \"Market Outlook Factor Overview\" on Seeking Alpha back in February.MOFO as of March, 2023MOFO as of March 2023 (ModernIncomeInvestor.com)What I notice in looking back over this list for the past year now is that the 10 components have not changed much. That is, the market is still trying to make a definitive choice about what to worry about and what it can comfortably put in the rearview mirror. Inflation is receding, at least for now. But it is not going away. Some may cheer 4-5% instead of 9% on this measure, but that is still well above what consumers are used to paying. Furthermore, sustained higher borrowing rates, especially for companies with BBB credit ratings or lower, are facing a refinancing wave during the next 12 months, and that may prove challenging. And, in some cases, may prompt serious going-concern issues for many companies. In other words, you can run a business on debt up to a certain point. And when that point is reached, it's a dead end. We are about at that point.I'll note a couple of other stubborn impediments that make the market even more uncertain than usual as we enter the second quarter of 2023. What's coming down the pike includes reduced corporate earnings, which we'll start seeing en masse within days. And we're only 3 months from a US government debt ceiling showdown. Then, there's fading enthusiasm for China's grand re-opening, not to mention the increasing gamesmanship over technology, balloons, and other areas of contention.When a professional hockey game is tied after 3 periods of 20 minutes each, the announcer might say, \"60 minutes is not enough to settle this one.\" Then, they go to overtime. That's what 2023 feels like: The overtime period from 2022. Same lingering issues, different year. And with the NHL playoffs around the corner, I feel obligated to remind you that in the playoffs, the game doesn't end in overtime until one team scores. That can result in games that go on for 2 or 3 additional periods or more, until someone finally puts one in the net. The equivalent with the stock market? Maybe we'll be in a trading range for years. It's happened before.That which doesn't kill bullish sentiment makes it stronger?At the same time, even cautious investor types like me, who have been waiting for that proverbial other shoe to drop, are wondering if the bulls have taken all the bears can throw at them, and whether this will just be a gradual transition to a new bull market. But it will just take a while.To be clear: when it comes to market history, I don't reference it to say it will happen again the same way. I do believe that market history shows us what is possible, because it has happened before. That said, history is made all the time, like last year when stocks and bonds fell together in a way we have not seen in modern times. So, here are a couple of competing historical periods, one for the bulls and one for the bears.First, here's a fairly recent period (January 2015 through June 2016) where the S&P 500 was as indecisive as it has been over the past 12 months. As a technician, I see a lot of failed attempts to break out, similar to what we've seen since the start of 2022. We get rallies, but they fail. Then we get more excitement, bulls proclaim the bottom is in, and it is a thrilling time... for a few weeks or maybe a couple of months.ChartData by YChartsIt helps keep us grounded when we realize that the stock market doesn't always go up or down sustainably. Sometimes it just goes nowhere, and you try your best to find areas of outperformance at the sector, industry or thematic level. Or you focus more on generating income, since price appreciation is hard to muster.2008 post-Bear Stearns/pre-Lehman period: Some similaritiesAnd then, there's this reminder from history. We just had a major banking industry scare. It might be over, but it probably isn't. No matter what your view is on it, you have a chance of being right.I am more concerned, as always, with how my investments ultimately fare rather than what events will occur. I am far from the only market participant who invested through 2008 and recalls vividly that the Bear Stearns crisis was the warning shot. The collapse of Lehman Brothers 6 months later is what nearly brought the economy and market to their knees. According to reports at the time, the US Treasury Secretary was literally brought to his knees, pleading for government action. That was a more dramatic version of what we just saw a few weeks ago. See the chart below from that year.On March 10, 2023, the leading stock market indexes bottomed, at least temporarily, as potential banking industry contagion was snuffed out. Ironically, that was the same date in 2008 when the SPDR® S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) bottomed, following the sale of ailing investment bank Bear Stearns, and so did Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ). From March 10, 2008 through June 5 of that year, a span of less than 3 months, SPY gained 10% and QQQ vaulted higher by 22%. You can see that move on the left side of the chart.ChartData by YChartsWhat happened from that point (June 5, 2008)? The market came to realize that Bear Stearns was the first shoe to drop. Lehman was the second. And by November 19, 2008, SPY fell 42% and QQQ dropped by 47%.Adding up the 2 periods, from March 10 to November 19, just over 8 months' time, SPY's net loss was 31% and QQQ's a similar 33%. But why bring up this history? That was 15 years ago.The case for S&P 4,500 this yearBecause I think it's a given that the stock market can break out and go wildly higher at any time. All it would take is what has happened many times since the Global Financial Crisis: central banks give in, flood the system with cheap money, and kick the debt can down the road. Fiscal insanity has been the norm for over a decade. And so, as much as I lean bearish here, and have since late 2021, all bets are off if the \"pivot,\" or at least the market's interpretation of one, becomes a reality. That could lift the market from its current SPY level of around $409 to about 10% higher, as occurred during the same time period in 2008. 10% on top of $409 is $450 on the SPY. Or about 4,500 on the S&P 500. That's still below the all-time high set at the start of last year, but clearly within reach. And given the current \"first-class status\" given to QQQ, on the assumption that the giant technology companies are a source of relative safety right now, that market measure could go much higher, as it did in 2008 before the big drop occurred. So far, so good on that analog, given the strong performance of QQQ and SPY since that March 10 low this year.ChartData by YChartsThe case for S&P 3,000 this yearWhether it is the banking malaise, a domino effect from it, or any combination of that and the list of MOFO items I listed above... or something not even on the market's radar yet, we cannot dismiss the possibility that we'll see much lower levels in the major indexes before 2023 is over. To paraphrase John Belushi's character in the classic movie \"Animal House,\" nothing is over until the market decides it is!When the recent banking crisis low occurred, the S&P 500 was at $386. In 2008 and again in 2020, the market showed us that it can fall very hard in just a matter of months or even weeks. If the second shoe drops, whatever the reason, it seems apparent to me from some of the sharp late-day selloffs we've already seen this year that liquidity could dry up very quickly.So, take that $386 SPY top and knock 31% off of it, a la 2008, and you get $266, or about 2,660 on the S&P 500. Let's be generous and round that up to 3,000. The point here is not the specific figures. It is that we have a collection of factors, mostly negative, but with the offset of an ever-optimistic crowd ready to pounce on any sign that the Fed will save the day. Besides, back in 2008, the market fell 37% for the year, but the first 9 weeks of 2009 were just as bad. So 3,000 is enough downward-facing projection for one article.2008 is an analog, and I am far from the first to pair 2023's market activity with it. We all realize that projecting the future is a Wall Street tradition, but the accuracy of those projections is not. However, my main point again is this: conditions are ripe for a period of extreme swings in the major markets.Portfolio strategyMy views continue as they have been:Play defense first. Short-term US Treasuries are historically attractive, and active defense, either via ETFs like the ProShares Short S&P500 ETF (SH), the ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (VIXY), or buying put options on SPY or the S&P 500 itself are all examples to consider.Find ways to play offense for that potential \"melt-up\" described above. As I mentioned in a recent article, I have used out-of-the-money QQQ call options, but any broad market equity ETF can potentially be a tactical weapon at times like these. Just think \"rent it\" instead of \"buy and hold it,\" unless you vehemently disagree with my assessment that upside is limited and the downside is gigantic for the foreseeable future.Stay humble. Respect market history, learn from it, but don't take it literally. Use it to assess what is reasonably possible. Because the biggest mistake I've seen investors make is underestimating how bad things can get when a crisis like that of the banks shows us its cards and the investor turns the other way.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":31,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9948765220,"gmtCreate":1680794656160,"gmtModify":1680794660806,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","text":"Pls like thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":28,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9948765220","repostId":"2325064360","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2325064360","pubTimestamp":1680794909,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2325064360?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-04-06 23:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These Stocks Are Warren Buffett's 3 Largest AI-Fueled Investments","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2325064360","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Berkshire Hathaway's team invested in many \"AI stocks\" -- and not all of them are in the tech sector.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Despite the recent optimism and hype surrounding stocks associated with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), AI-focused investment strategies probably don&#39;t attract much interest from famed investor Warren Buffett -- at least, not directly. Buffett, who has spoken briefly about both the potential and the drawbacks of these technologies, would likely have less interest in being a direct AI investor. Emerging technologies tend to foster money-losing tech stocks, and history has usually proven him right when he was skeptical of such assets.</p><p>However, many of the stocks Buffett already owns have made him and the <strong>Berkshire Hathaway</strong> team into AI investors by default, as many of his smaller investments -- stocks like <strong>Amazon</strong>, <strong>Activision Blizzard</strong>, and <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a></strong> -- make extensive use of the technology. Moreover, three of Berkshire&#39;s largest holdings make significant use of AI, and only one would fit the formal definition of a &#34;tech stock.&#34;</p><h2>1. Apple</h2><p>Buffett&#39;s Berkshire Hathaway did not buy <strong>Apple</strong> for its AI-driven functionality, and AI is not a key reason that Apple now accounts for 44% of the value in the conglomerate&#39;s stock portfolio. Nonetheless, AI and ML play roles in enhancing virtually every current product and service offered by Apple. FaceID, voice recognition, and numerous apps are just some of the AI-driven features in its iPhone.</p><p>Additionally, the company invested heavily in AI and ML research. It funds Apple Scholars, university students who conduct AI research. Also, its AIML Residency Program works with experts across several disciplines. These industry leaders build new AI and ML-driven products and services. While the results of its programs are difficult to predict, they will likely enhance Apple&#39;s influence and leadership in the AI industry.</p><p>With the market&#39;s focus on AI increasing, Apple&#39;s stock is moving in the right direction. It has risen by more than 30% since the beginning of 2023. </p><p>The increase in the stock price raised its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio to 28, making it an increasingly expensive company to buy. But as AI&#39;s influence over Apple&#39;s products and services grows, market-beating returns are probably still within reach for new investors.</p><h2>2. Bank of America</h2><p>Its name may condition investors to see <strong>Bank of America</strong> as a bank, but given its heavy investments in technology, it has arguably evolved into more of a fintech stock. Those tech investments came amid its emergence from the 2008-09 financial crisis, and among the largest banks, it has become a fintech leader. Global Finance named it the &#34;Most Innovative Digital Bank&#34; in 2022.</p><p>On the AI side, BofA describes Erica, its AI-driven assistant, as the engine that brings &#34;personalized banking&#34; to its clients. Erica delivers personalized insights and helps monitor accounts, identifying issues such as duplicate charges or changes in spending patterns.</p><p>Understandably, the liquidity issues that caused the collapses of <strong>SVB Financial</strong>&#39;s Silicon Valley Bank, <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SI\">Silvergate Capital</a></strong>&#39;s Silvergate Bank, and others have weighed on the banking sector. Despite BofA&#39;s stability, its stock price is down modestly since the beginning of the year. That price drop took its P/E ratio to 9, its lowest level since the beginning of the pandemic.</p><p>Even though BofA makes up 9% of Berkshire&#39;s portfolio, the recent sell-off could be good news for Buffett and other investors. Since the industry&#39;s recent troubles do not affect Bank of America directly, now might be an opportune time to buy shares.</p><h2>3. Chevron</h2><p><strong>Chevron</strong>&#39;s growing AI capabilities are probably not prominent among the reasons why Buffett&#39;s team has continued to add to its large position in the energy giant. Nonetheless, Chevron accounts for 8% of the value in Berkshire&#39;s equity portfolio, and the technology will play at least an indirect role in boosting the value of the oil stock.</p><p>Today&#39;s energy industry relies heavily on technology for various business activities. One area where AI in particular benefits Chevron is data management. To that end, it partnered with <strong>Microsoft </strong>and <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PATH\">UiPath</a></strong> to automate data extraction into back-end systems. Because this process is now being handled automatically, Chevron&#39;s business analysts can spend more time on tasks that add more value.</p><p>Additionally, Chevron applies AI to extract information from drilling reports. The technology can tell researchers how different types of rocks impact a hydrocarbon reservoir. These studies reduce the need to drill exploratory wells, reducing the environmental impact of Chevron&#39;s activities.</p><p>Chevron&#39;s stock price is down for 2023, and due to that decline, its P/E ratio of around 9 is in the neighborhood of its multiyear low. Still, the recent announcement by several members of OPEC+ (a group of nations allied with OPEC to cut production in order to boost oil prices) that they will cut crude oil output next month has brought investors back to oil stocks, indicating the stock might soon be heading higher.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>These Stocks Are Warren Buffett's 3 Largest AI-Fueled Investments</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nThese Stocks Are Warren Buffett's 3 Largest AI-Fueled Investments\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-04-06 23:28 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/04/05/stocks-warren-buffett-largest-ai-investments/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Despite the recent optimism and hype surrounding stocks associated with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), AI-focused investment strategies probably don't attract much interest ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/04/05/stocks-warren-buffett-largest-ai-investments/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"CVX":"雪佛龙","BAC":"美国银行","AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/04/05/stocks-warren-buffett-largest-ai-investments/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2325064360","content_text":"Despite the recent optimism and hype surrounding stocks associated with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), AI-focused investment strategies probably don't attract much interest from famed investor Warren Buffett -- at least, not directly.

While the results of its programs are difficult to predict, they will likely enhance Apple's influence and leadership in the AI industry.With the market's focus on AI increasing, Apple's stock is moving in the right direction. It has risen by more than 30% since the beginning of 2023. The increase in the stock price raised its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio to 28, making it an increasingly expensive company to buy. But as AI's influence over Apple's products and services grows, market-beating returns are probably still within reach for new investors.2. Bank of AmericaIts name may condition investors to see Bank of America as a bank, but given its heavy investments in technology, it has arguably evolved into more of a fintech stock. Those tech investments came amid its emergence from the 2008-09 financial crisis, and among the largest banks, it has become a fintech leader. Global Finance named it the \"Most Innovative Digital Bank\" in 2022.On the AI side, BofA describes Erica, its AI-driven assistant, as the engine that brings \"personalized banking\" to its clients. Erica delivers personalized insights and helps monitor accounts, identifying issues such as duplicate charges or changes in spending patterns.Understandably, the liquidity issues that caused the collapses of SVB Financial's Silicon Valley Bank, Silvergate Capital's Silvergate Bank, and others have weighed on the banking sector. Despite BofA's stability, its stock price is down modestly since the beginning of the year. That price drop took its P/E ratio to 9, its lowest level since the beginning of the pandemic.Even though BofA makes up 9% of Berkshire's portfolio, the recent sell-off could be good news for Buffett and other investors. Since the industry's recent troubles do not affect Bank of America directly, now might be an opportune time to buy shares.3. ChevronChevron's growing AI capabilities are probably not prominent among the reasons why Buffett's team has continued to add to its large position in the energy giant. Nonetheless, Chevron accounts for 8% of the value in Berkshire's equity portfolio, and the technology will play at least an indirect role in boosting the value of the oil stock.Today's energy industry relies heavily on technology for various business activities. One area where AI in particular benefits Chevron is data management. To that end, it partnered with Microsoft and UiPath to automate data extraction into back-end systems. Because this process is now being handled automatically, Chevron's business analysts can spend more time on tasks that add more value.Additionally, Chevron applies AI to extract information from drilling reports. The technology can tell researchers how different types of rocks impact a hydrocarbon reservoir. These studies reduce the need to drill exploratory wells, reducing the environmental impact of Chevron's activities.Chevron's stock price is down for 2023, and due to that decline, its P/E ratio of around 9 is in the neighborhood of its multiyear low. Still, the recent announcement by several members of OPEC+ (a group of nations allied with OPEC to cut production in order to boost oil prices) that they will cut crude oil output next month has brought investors back to oil stocks, indicating the stock might soon be heading higher.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":146,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9948674231,"gmtCreate":1680707273023,"gmtModify":1680707276518,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Please like thanks&nbsp;","text":"Please like thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9948674231","repostId":"2324800035","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2324800035","pubTimestamp":1680645600,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2324800035?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-04-05 06:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is It Time to Buy the S&P 500's 3 Worst-Performing March Stocks?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2324800035","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Which industry had the worst month?

First Republic was down a whopping 88.6% in March, while Zions was down 38.2%, and Comerica fell 36.7% for the month.</p><p>These three banks all have a few things in common. For one, all three are regional banks. Small and regional banks took the biggest hits in the bank sell-off after Signature Bank and <strong>SVB Financial</strong>&#39;s Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsed after a run on deposits. The second reason is more germane to why these three banks, in particular, saw their stock prices tumble: They all have a large number of uninsured deposits.</p><p>Both SVB and Signature Bank had the highest level of uninsured deposits, by far, with more than 90% of total deposits uninsured.

Uninsured deposits refer to any cash in accounts in excess of $250,000. Since the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) only insures deposits up to $250,000, money over that amount would be uninsured. As account holders pulled their deposits from SVB and then Signature, the contagion spread to other, similar banks that had high levels of uninsured deposits -- most notably First Republic.</p><p>However, it&#39;s worth noting that the run that hurt SVB was unique in that SVB had too much money invested in long-term held-to-maturity (HTM) bonds that it couldn&#39;t sell, thus hurting its liquidity after deposit outflows. First Republic, Zions, and Comerica didn&#39;t have nearly as much tied up in HTM bonds, as this article by the Motley Fool&#39;s Bram Berkowitz explains. That still didn&#39;t stop panicked investors from pulling deposits, at least initially.  </p><p>The banking crisis got national attention starting around March 8-9.

But the massive drops in their stock prices brought their valuations down to dirt cheap levels.</p><p>Comerica is trading at 4.8 times earnings, down from a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 8.8 at the end of 2022, while Zions is trading at 4.7 times earnings, down from 9.2 on Dec. 31. First Republic is even cheaper, with a P/E ratio of just 1.7, down from 14.5 at the end of 2022.</p><p>The worst is probably over for these bank stocks, but there&#39;s still too much volatility and uncertainty surrounding regional banks, as there&#39;s been a flight by depositors to larger, more regulated banks.

This is something to watch for.</p><p>In addition, these are not banks I would have recommended before the meltdown, just because there are better deals elsewhere in the industry. That hasn&#39;t changed now.</p><p>But these three stocks are very cheap, so the low valuation is intriguing.
