Investors are willing to pay up for the stock today in the hopes that the growth narrative will play out.</p><p>Virtually every company was once a growth stock. Take Coca-Cola, for example, which we view today as a stodgy beverage company, although it pioneered the global distribution of soft drinks.

In this vein, it makes sense that these companies don't fetch sky-high multiples relative to the market.</p><h2 id=\"id_243738485\">Apple is overdue for an earnings spike</h2><p>Over the last three years, Apple's trailing 12-month revenue is up just 9.9% and its net income is up 15.7%. This slowing growth period is even more apparent if we look back over the last 15 years.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/53721cb73bce6f489c514bf210263d93\" alt=\"AAPL Revenue (TTM) data by YCharts\" title=\"AAPL Revenue (TTM) data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"539\"/><span>AAPL Revenue (TTM) data by YCharts</span></p><p>Apple has seen multiple periods of flattish growth, followed by some sharp upticks. The biggest spike came in 2020 and 2021 as investors flocked to goods purchases when services were unavailable during the pandemic.</p><p>Some investors hope that the lack of growth is simply due to the upgrade cycle. Historically, Apple has made annual upgrades to the iPhone, with a more substantial upgrade every few years. However, as my colleague Rick Munarriz points out, the three-year cycle is broken and Apple hasn't had that much-needed spike in sales to drive earnings growth.</p><p>This upgrade cycle could be delayed because products are lasting longer, and the last upgrade period was inflated by a surge in demand. But until that happens, it's easy to point to increased competition and a lack of innovation as reasons why Apple no longer deserves to be classified as a growth stock. In short, Apple is in "prove it" mode.</p><h2 id=\"id_2900394014\">A reasonable valuation</h2><p>The good news is that Apple is already priced similarly to many other dividend-paying, blue-chip companies.</p><p>Procter & Gamble and Walmart are two industry-leading, historically low-growth companies with over 50 consecutive years of dividend increases -- making them both Dividend Kings. Both companies have an element of recession resilience, given their emphasis on consumer staples products and their ability to achieve good results no matter the economic cycle.</p><p>Despite being "safe stocks," P&G and Walmart don't necessarily have high yields. P&G yields just 2.5%, and Walmart is an even lower 1.4%. Still, both companies have over a 25-forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, whereas Apple has a 27.9 forward P/E.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f1c72ac6af11d5b3728c208bc62d349b\" alt=\"AAPL PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts\" title=\"AAPL PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"504\"/><span>AAPL PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts</span></p><p>The glass half-empty outlook on Apple is that its growth is slowing, and it doesn't deserve a premium growth stock valuation. But its current multiple suggests it isn't overvalued.</p><p>Apple is still a textbook example of vertical integration at its best. The rise of the company's services segment has helped Apple retain high operating margins despite much higher revenue. Services help extract more value from existing customers without requiring product upgrades.</p><p>Despite its slow growth, Apple can still reward shareholders with aggressive buybacks and dividends. It just announced its 12th consecutive dividend increase and a $110 billion stock repurchase program.</p><p>If Apple were not to do any buybacks and focused its entire capital return program on the dividend, it would yield 3.5% -- which is more than if P&G and Walmart poured their entire capital return programs into the dividend.</p><p>Apple is an even better value if we consider the size of its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities position, which reached a whopping $162.3 billion as of the recent quarter.</p><h2 id=\"id_971345206\">Apple is a good pick in today's market</h2><p>Apple is already being valued similarly to industry-leading dividend stocks. The market is discounting the potential upside of the next iPhone upgrade cycle, which could be fueled by iPhones with artificial intelligence chips. The Apple Vision Pro or another new product could also catch on.</p><p>In sum, Apple's risk/potential reward profile seems like a good opportunity right now, especially given that the market is no longer valuing it as a growth stock/. But there's still plenty of potential growth left in the tank.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

In short, Apple is in \"prove it\" mode.A reasonable valuationThe good news is that Apple is already priced similarly to many other dividend-paying, blue-chip companies.Procter & Gamble and Walmart are two industry-leading, historically low-growth companies with over 50 consecutive years of dividend increases -- making them both Dividend Kings. Both companies have an element of recession resilience, given their emphasis on consumer staples products and their ability to achieve good results no matter the economic cycle.Despite being \"safe stocks,\" P&G and Walmart don't necessarily have high yields. P&G yields just 2.5%, and Walmart is an even lower 1.4%. Still, both companies have over a 25-forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, whereas Apple has a 27.9 forward P/E.AAPL PE Ratio (Forward) data by YChartsThe glass half-empty outlook on Apple is that its growth is slowing, and it doesn't deserve a premium growth stock valuation. But its current multiple suggests it isn't overvalued.Apple is still a textbook example of vertical integration at its best. The rise of the company's services segment has helped Apple retain high operating margins despite much higher revenue. Services help extract more value from existing customers without requiring product upgrades.Despite its slow growth, Apple can still reward shareholders with aggressive buybacks and dividends. It just announced its 12th consecutive dividend increase and a $110 billion stock repurchase program.If Apple were not to do any buybacks and focused its entire capital return program on the dividend, it would yield 3.5% -- which is more than if P&G and Walmart poured their entire capital return programs into the dividend.Apple is an even better value if we consider the size of its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities position, which reached a whopping $162.3 billion as of the recent quarter.Apple is a good pick in today's marketApple is already being valued similarly to industry-leading dividend stocks. The market is discounting the potential upside of the next iPhone upgrade cycle, which could be fueled by iPhones with artificial intelligence chips. The Apple Vision Pro or another new product could also catch on.In sum, Apple's risk/potential reward profile seems like a good opportunity right now, especially given that the market is no longer valuing it as a growth stock/. But there's still plenty of potential growth left in the tank.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":24,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":303317470249032,"gmtCreate":1715072486212,"gmtModify":1715072489882,"author":{"id":"3577182936341023","authorId":"3577182936341023","name":"MIe","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Meta ai upside ","listText":"Meta ai upside ","text":"Meta ai upside","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/303317470249032","repostId":"1105035108","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1105035108","pubTimestamp":1715072145,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1105035108?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2024-05-07 16:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Meta Platforms: Wall Street Is Wrong - Aggressive AI Investment And Unfettered Bullishness","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105035108","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"SummaryMeta Platforms plunged after its latest earnings release due to disappointment over increased investments in artificial intelligence.The company is underappreciated as one of the biggest benefi","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2 id=\"id_2192371797\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Summary</h2><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Meta Platforms plunged after its latest earnings release due to disappointment over increased investments in artificial intelligence.</p></li><li><p>The company is underappreciated as one of the biggest beneficiaries of AI, with AI-powered chatbots being one immediate driver of incremental value.</p></li><li><p>I explain why Meta Platforms appears to have an "Amazon moat."</p></li><li><p>Meta Platforms stock remains a top pick and I reiterate my "strong buy" rating.</p></li></ul><p>It isn’t always a welcome sight when our stocks go up.

One visible example is AI-powered chatbots to help its advertising clients connect with customers (among other use cases).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/bfe7e2f6f4b4a8d8fede27179e9bd354\" alt=\"Meta AI\" title=\"Meta AI\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"566\"/><span>Meta AI</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>AI at Meta</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As mentioned on the conference call, 30% of content generated on the Facebook feed (and 50% on Instagram) is powered by AI.

These are stunning results especially for a company of this size, but even this bullish investor must remind readers that the company is benefitting from lapping easy comparables, as the online advertising market was weak following the rise in interest rates. For reference, revenues grew by only 2.5% YoY in the first quarter of 2023. These comparables will become more difficult beginning in the third quarter, as the third quarter of 2023 saw revenues grow by 23% YoY.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b87089e5d2c7fe34f7055dfe3b71c9d4\" alt=\"2024 Q1 Presentation\" title=\"2024 Q1 Presentation\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"625\"/><span>2024 Q1 Presentation</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Family of Apps (this includes Facebook and Instagram) posted typically strong operating margins at 49.2%, representing nearly 1,000 bps expansion YoY. The strong profit margins seen in the business help to offset the deep losses in Reality Labs, leading to a consolidated operating margin of 38%. It is interesting to see the company burn $3.8 billion in Reality Labs operating losses in the latest quarter yet still post an operating margin that would place it in the upper echelon of the tech sector (and the market overall).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">I was disappointed to see META stop disclosing user metrics for Facebook, but this may make some sense given the company’s other social media platforms. Family daily active people showed healthy growth at 7.2% YoY and 1.6% QoQ, indicating that the company’s platforms remain as relevant as ever. I would be concerned if DAP growth turned negative, even if profits continue to grow, as such a scenario might indicate existential issues ahead - but this isn’t the case here.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1d0c66b269d76f86a8f6ce8ca1858d93\" alt=\"2024 Q1 Presentation\" title=\"2024 Q1 Presentation\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"601\"/><span>2024 Q1 Presentation</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">After seeing growth in average revenue per person (‘ARPP’) briefly struggle in 2023, the company is back to showing solid growth in this metric.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7394409091e770c44ccaf5f001d8c337\" alt=\"2024 Q1 Presentation\" title=\"2024 Q1 Presentation\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"599\"/><span>2024 Q1 Presentation</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Management showed that they can balance investing in growth with rewarding shareholders, spending $14.64 billion on share repurchases and $1.27 billion on dividends. Total returns to shareholders outpaced $12.4 billion of GAAP net income - the company is a true “cash cow.” META ended the quarter with $58 billion of cash versus $18.4 billion of debt, representing a bulletproof balance sheet.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Looking ahead, management has guided for the second quarter to see revenue between $36.5 billion and $39 billion, representing 23.8% YoY growth at the high end. Consensus estimates call for $38.2 billion in revenues, which looks achievable from my view. The company saw CapEx decline in 2023, which appears to go hand-in-hand with the “Year of Efficiency.” However, as management discussed on the call, they intend to significantly increase CapEx spending moving forward in order to address the AI opportunity. Management raised 2024 CapEx guidance from $30 to $37 billion up to $35 to $40 billion, and further noted expectations for that number to increase in 2025 as well.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/ad78143a176857b1b86ce7ec0aba32ac\" alt=\"2024 Q1 Presentation\" title=\"2024 Q1 Presentation\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"644\"/><span>2024 Q1 Presentation</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">It isn’t just CapEx creep coming ahead for the company. Management outlined expectations to ramp up expenses as it grows headcount to invest in AI. Management noted that this may be similar to their prior investment periods such as Reels in which the company did not see an immediate ROI for quite some time. While this management team arguably deserves the benefit of the doubt given the ultra-high FoA operating margins, it appears that Wall Street is concerned that management is back-tracking the commitments stemming from the “Year of Efficiency.” Perhaps Wall Street is worried that the stunning losses seen in Reality Labs are beginning to contaminate margins in the core business for the long term. Yet, this is where I have fundamental disagreements with the market. Wall Street seems to dislike the potential near term margin compression at the company, but is missing the forest for the trees. Management’s ability - and willingness - to invest large amounts of capital in the potentially high ROI opportunity of artificial intelligence should be cheered, not punished. The most famous example is that of Amazon (AMZN), which invested heavily in its e-commerce operations over many decades, leading it to show minimal operating income for a long time until the company was unable to find enough investments to “offset” the growing operating income.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c49a94559c77ae98ada0de177333a11d\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"424\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">AMZN stock is up 10x since 2015 when operating income began inflecting sharply higher. The point here isn’t to imply 10x potential upside for META, but instead to illustrate that Wall Street sometimes rewards stocks only after the fruits of the investment are abundantly clear. Patient investors can choose to invest prior to this and potentially reap generous rewards.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">I call this ability to invest high amounts of capital at high ROI the “Amazon Moat” and I am excited to see META management decide to invest aggressively in their AI capabilities, as suddenly this may become a clear competitive advantage relative to peers. Just several years ago, the market was concerned about TikTok competitive threats and META’s ability to cope with data privacy changes from Apple (AAPL). At the time, it certainly felt like META was facing challenges beyond its control. The company’s massive investments in AI may change that narrative and further secure the company’s future growth streams.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">But perhaps it was some of management’s other commentary that pushed the market over the edge. Management did not dispute the notion that China was driving much of the growth, which may concern some investors given that some operators like PDD (PDD) appear to be spending aggressively to take market share in the United States. That said, the company does break out revenue by user geography, and growth outside of Asia-Pacific was actually stronger as Asia-Pacific growth (which includes Asian regions besides China) was slower at 25%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d6ce2ff816a3b4f5ebb0175956c24774\" alt=\"revenue by geography\" title=\"revenue by geography\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"631\"/><span>revenue by geography</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">AMZN stock is up 10x since 2015 when operating income began inflecting sharply higher. The point here isn’t to imply 10x potential upside for META but instead to illustrate that Wall Street sometimes rewards stocks only after the fruits of the investment are abundantly clear. Patient investors can choose to invest prior to this and potentially reap generous rewards.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">But I found it puzzling to hear management say things like they view FoA and Reality Labs as “fundamentally the same business.” I think the stock has re-rated higher over the past 2 years, largely due to Wall Street focusing more on the FoA and being willing to overlook Reality Labs - somewhat similar to Alphabet (GOOGL) and its “Other Bets” segment. However, management’s continued insistence and commitment to Reality Labs may be causing some investors to question whether their understanding is correct. Whereas I am quite bullish on management’s planned investments in artificial intelligence, I remain conflicted on their ongoing investments in Reality Labs, as it is not immediately clear if the undeniably intriguing technology will be backed by an acceptable return on investment.</p><h2 id=\"id_1423390997\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Is META Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The 400% return in META since late 2022 may end up being one of the greatest recoveries among mega-cap stocks. Yet even after the run-up, the stock still trades at a compelling 23x earnings.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b510c48c507423b6d13d0a15577b8073\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha\" title=\"Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"286\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Reality Labs will likely detract at least 25% from consolidated earnings, implying around $25 in FoA EPS. Thus, if one believes that Reality Labs should be worth at least $0 and FoA should be worth 23x earnings, then the stock has around 25% potential upside from that alone. I am of the view that the company’s investments in AI will further its business model advantages - it already appears to be the most advertiser-friendly social media platform on the planet (as evidenced by the high ARPP metrics). If the company can sustain mid to high single-digit top-line growth, then that in conjunction with the net cash balance sheet arguably justify at least a 30x FoA earnings multiple - I base that valuation on where other high-quality stocks trade like Apple, REITs, and others. That could imply a 12-month price target of up to $750 per share, or 63% potential upside, but these kinds of quality theses may take several years to play out.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">What are the key risks? I view the most pressing near term risk to be that of decelerating top-line growth rates. I suspect that most investors understand that the company is benefitting from lapping easier comparables and must see a deceleration in top-line growth at some point, but expectations often do not match reality in such transitions. Further, investors might not view META as being high quality as I do, which may imply that volatility is guaranteed over the next 2 to 3 quarters. Management might further their investments in Reality Labs or fail to deliver acceptable ROI even on their investments in AI. It is possible that the company’s exposure to China is greater than expected and for revenue growth to slow down dramatically over the coming quarters. I note that the TikTok competitive threat remains real, even if Wall Street seems to have forgotten about it. A “TikTok ban” has been passed by our legislators, but I find it highly doubtful for U.S. operations to cease (it seems more likely that TikTok would divest Chinese ownership interests instead of exiting the country, despite what management has been saying). This might not only impact top-line growth rates, but may also impact the stock’s ability to re-rate as expected.</p><h2 id=\"id_2468281631\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Conclusion</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Wall Street appears concerned about increased investments in AI, but as a long-term investor, I view the same data with contrarian bullishness. The bullish thesis is in motion, with the company capitalizing on its AI-powered content generation and advertiser support. The valuation still looks conservative given the quality of this business, and I see solid upside ahead between ongoing growth and multiple expansion potential. I reiterate my strong buy rating for the stock.</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>Meta Platforms: Wall Street Is Wrong - Aggressive AI Investment And Unfettered Bullishness</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\">\nMeta Platforms: Wall Street Is Wrong - Aggressive AI Investment And Unfettered Bullishness\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2024-05-07 16:55 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4690021-meta-platforms-wall-street-wrong-aggressive-ai-investment><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryMeta Platforms plunged after its latest earnings release due to disappointment over increased investments in artificial intelligence.The company is underappreciated as one of the biggest ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4690021-meta-platforms-wall-street-wrong-aggressive-ai-investment\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"META":"Meta Platforms"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4690021-meta-platforms-wall-street-wrong-aggressive-ai-investment","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1105035108","content_text":"SummaryMeta Platforms plunged after its latest earnings release due to disappointment over increased investments in artificial intelligence.The company is underappreciated as one of the biggest beneficiaries of AI, with AI-powered chatbots being one immediate driver of incremental value.I explain why Meta Platforms appears to have an \"Amazon moat.\"Meta Platforms stock remains a top pick and I reiterate my \"strong buy\" rating.It isn’t always a welcome sight when our stocks go up.

The point here isn’t to imply 10x potential upside for META, but instead to illustrate that Wall Street sometimes rewards stocks only after the fruits of the investment are abundantly clear. Patient investors can choose to invest prior to this and potentially reap generous rewards.I call this ability to invest high amounts of capital at high ROI the “Amazon Moat” and I am excited to see META management decide to invest aggressively in their AI capabilities, as suddenly this may become a clear competitive advantage relative to peers. Just several years ago, the market was concerned about TikTok competitive threats and META’s ability to cope with data privacy changes from Apple (AAPL). At the time, it certainly felt like META was facing challenges beyond its control. The company’s massive investments in AI may change that narrative and further secure the company’s future growth streams.But perhaps it was some of management’s other commentary that pushed the market over the edge. Management did not dispute the notion that China was driving much of the growth, which may concern some investors given that some operators like PDD (PDD) appear to be spending aggressively to take market share in the United States. That said, the company does break out revenue by user geography, and growth outside of Asia-Pacific was actually stronger as Asia-Pacific growth (which includes Asian regions besides China) was slower at 25%.revenue by geographyAMZN stock is up 10x since 2015 when operating income began inflecting sharply higher. The point here isn’t to imply 10x potential upside for META but instead to illustrate that Wall Street sometimes rewards stocks only after the fruits of the investment are abundantly clear. Patient investors can choose to invest prior to this and potentially reap generous rewards.But I found it puzzling to hear management say things like they view FoA and Reality Labs as “fundamentally the same business.” I think the stock has re-rated higher over the past 2 years, largely due to Wall Street focusing more on the FoA and being willing to overlook Reality Labs - somewhat similar to Alphabet (GOOGL) and its “Other Bets” segment. However, management’s continued insistence and commitment to Reality Labs may be causing some investors to question whether their understanding is correct. Whereas I am quite bullish on management’s planned investments in artificial intelligence, I remain conflicted on their ongoing investments in Reality Labs, as it is not immediately clear if the undeniably intriguing technology will be backed by an acceptable return on investment.Is META Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?The 400% return in META since late 2022 may end up being one of the greatest recoveries among mega-cap stocks. Yet even after the run-up, the stock still trades at a compelling 23x earnings.Seeking AlphaReality Labs will likely detract at least 25% from consolidated earnings, implying around $25 in FoA EPS. Thus, if one believes that Reality Labs should be worth at least $0 and FoA should be worth 23x earnings, then the stock has around 25% potential upside from that alone. I am of the view that the company’s investments in AI will further its business model advantages - it already appears to be the most advertiser-friendly social media platform on the planet (as evidenced by the high ARPP metrics). If the company can sustain mid to high single-digit top-line growth, then that in conjunction with the net cash balance sheet arguably justify at least a 30x FoA earnings multiple - I base that valuation on where other high-quality stocks trade like Apple, REITs, and others. That could imply a 12-month price target of up to $750 per share, or 63% potential upside, but these kinds of quality theses may take several years to play out.What are the key risks? I view the most pressing near term risk to be that of decelerating top-line growth rates. I suspect that most investors understand that the company is benefitting from lapping easier comparables and must see a deceleration in top-line growth at some point, but expectations often do not match reality in such transitions. Further, investors might not view META as being high quality as I do, which may imply that volatility is guaranteed over the next 2 to 3 quarters. Management might further their investments in Reality Labs or fail to deliver acceptable ROI even on their investments in AI. It is possible that the company’s exposure to China is greater than expected and for revenue growth to slow down dramatically over the coming quarters. I note that the TikTok competitive threat remains real, even if Wall Street seems to have forgotten about it. A “TikTok ban” has been passed by our legislators, but I find it highly doubtful for U.S. operations to cease (it seems more likely that TikTok would divest Chinese ownership interests instead of exiting the country, despite what management has been saying). This might not only impact top-line growth rates, but may also impact the stock’s ability to re-rate as expected.ConclusionWall Street appears concerned about increased investments in AI, but as a long-term investor, I view the same data with contrarian bullishness. The bullish thesis is in motion, with the company capitalizing on its AI-powered content generation and advertiser support. The valuation still looks conservative given the quality of this business, and I see solid upside ahead between ongoing growth and multiple expansion potential. I reiterate my strong buy rating for the stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":13,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":303315641286680,"gmtCreate":1715071927723,"gmtModify":1715071932405,"author":{"id":"3577182936341023","authorId":"3577182936341023","name":"MIe","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nvidia upside q1 earnings 22 may ","listText":"Nvidia upside q1 earnings 22 may ","text":"Nvidia upside q1 earnings 22 may","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/303315641286680","repostId":"2433049774","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2433049774","pubTimestamp":1715080729,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2433049774?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2024-05-07 19:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Option Witch | NVDA Stock Is Still Undervalued, Short Put is a Great Income Play","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2433049774","media":"Barchart","summary":"Nvidia Inc. stock still looks undervalued here, even though the stock keeps rising.

That provided a 2.45% income play (i.e., $20.80/$880.00). This strike price was 3.6% out-of-the-money (OTM) as NVDA stock was at $881.86 on April 18.As it turns out the stock closed at $887.89, so these puts stayed out-of-the-money. Existing investors who owned NVDA stock made money in two ways. First, they made the 2.45% income by shorting these OTM puts. And they also gained the upside in the stock.This can be done again today, especially since NVDA stock still looks undervalued. Let's review the price targets for the stock.Price Targets for NVDA StockBased on analyst estimates, Nvidia could generate $62.5 billion in free cash flow over the next 12 months (NTM). That is based on a 50% FCF margin forecast, (it made 51% FCF margins last quarter). So, using analysts' revenue estimates of $112.07 billion in revenue this year and $137.81 billion next year (Seeking Alpha) and multiplying the average NTM revenue of $124.94 billion by 50%, we get a NTM FCF estimate of $62.47 billion.Next, using a 2.25% FCF yield metric (which is the same as multiplying FCF by 44.44x, Nvidia's market cap could rise to $2.78 trillion.

Moreover, other analysts agree that NVDA has a higher price target. For example, Barchart's survey of 38 analysts shows that the average price target is $955.78. Refinitiv's survey (Yahoo! Finance) has an average price target of $1,008.90 for 47 analysts. AnaChart, a new sell-side analyst tracking service shows that the average of 38 analysts' target prices is $992.10.The bottom line is that all analysts see a significant upside in NVDA stock. That means shorting OTM puts again might make sense here, especially for long investors in the stock.Shorting OTM Puts in NVDA StockLook at the May 31 expiration option chain for NVDA put options. This is 25 days from today. It shows that out-of-the-money (OTM) put options still have high premiums. That makes shorting them a potentially profitable play.For example, look at the $880 strike price puts. It shows that the bid-side premium is $39.5, or a 4.48% put yield (i.e., $39.5/$880). That is for a strike price that is over 4.6% below today's price.$NVDA 20240531 880.0 PUT$ $NVDA 20240531 870.0 PUT$Moreover, the $870 strike price has a premium of $35.50 per contract with a strike price that is 5.8% below today's price.

The extra income also helps hedge any short-term downside in their long position in NVDA stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":303222296854560,"gmtCreate":1715064402484,"gmtModify":1715064405907,"author":{"id":"3577182936341023","authorId":"3577182936341023","name":"MIe","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"norm of investment job cuts till rate cuts ","listText":"norm of investment job cuts till rate cuts ","text":"norm of investment job cuts till rate cuts","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/303222296854560","repostId":"1110553973","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":303207997960224,"gmtCreate":1715060911542,"gmtModify":1715060915221,"author":{"id":"3577182936341023","authorId":"3577182936341023","name":"MIe","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buffet share invest strategy stable returns ","listText":"Buffet share invest strategy stable returns ","text":"Buffet share invest strategy stable returns","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/303207997960224","repostId":"2433323881","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2433323881","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1715047200,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2433323881?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2024-05-07 10:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sorry, Elon: Warren Buffett Won't Be Buying Tesla Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2433323881","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Tesla doesn’t fit the Berkshire Hathaway formulaElon Musk says “it’s an obvious move” for Berkshire Hathaway to buy Tesla stock.

But not necessarily because of the iPad. There are millions of people who now use the iPhone as their primary computer. Smartphones have become incredibly capable, and larger screens have turned them into small tablets with computer-like performance. For many people, a phone is all they need.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">But when it comes to turning the iPad into a computer replacement, Apple has lost its way. The device still lacks the multitasking abilities of a laptop, and it has less of an advantage over regular smartphones.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Apple has taken steps toward making the iPad more effective, but they’ve been half-measures. The first iPad Pro, released in 2015, offered bigger screens and an attachable keyboard case. The case was improved a bit with the 2018 iPad Pro, and there was a bigger leap forward in 2020 with the Magic Keyboard and trackpad — plus software support for cursor-based navigation. Still, none of these advances made it feel like you no longer needed a laptop.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Two years ago, Apple introduced Stage Manager, aiming to make the iPad better at multitasking. This optional feature allowed users to spread application windows around, but it was so unintuitive that Apple was forced to make changes. That delayed the version of iPadOS that included the feature by a month. It was an ambitious undertaking: Apple was trying to reinvent multitasking for people who may have never used a Mac. But that didn’t make it better.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1eb0ecea9c47eebdd6d6fb074edab673\" alt=\"Apple’s iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard.\" title=\"Apple’s iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard.\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1334\"/><span>Apple’s iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard.</span></p><p>More recently, Apple has given the iPad a boost by equipping it with Mac-level chips. To be clear, this was largely a marketing exercise. When Apple put the Mac’s M1 processor in the iPad Pro in 2021, it was essentially the same as an “A14X” chip that would have been in that year’s model. But advertising the iPad as having Mac capabilities goes a long way with customers and developers.</p><p>Now it’s time for Apple to take a stand. Does it want the iPad to be a half-baked laptop alternative or a real computing replacement? Consumers are confused about why they should buy an iPad versus a Mac and vice versa.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The answer: Apple should commit to making the iPad as capable as a laptop, but in a form that tablet users prefer. The Mac should be for consumers who like working on a traditional computer; the iPad should be for people who want the option of a touch screen.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">There shouldn’t be much of a difference otherwise — though people who need the highest performance (the trucks, in the Jobs analogy) are probably going to stick with Macs.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">This picture is going to blur a bit more in the coming years because Apple is working to bring touch screens to the Mac. When that happens, choosing between a Mac and iPad will hinge more on whether you want an all-in-one device (laptop) or a modular system (iPad + Magic Keyboard + Apple Pencil).</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">From a business standpoint, there’s always been a fear that the iPad will cannibalize Mac sales if it gets too powerful. So what? Neither category is doing that hot right now. Apple should just make the best iPad it can, while also making the best Mac it can. The days of purposely holding back the iPad need to end.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Apple has a chance to kick off a new era for the iPad at its “Let Loose” launch event planned for Tuesday. The presentation, which is expected to be about 35 minutes, should set the product on a new path. It’s also an opportunity to clean up the confusing iPad lineup, which is currently made up of five different models.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/79ec0c0952073d45018cc7f3d54398bb\" alt=\"Stage Manager on an iPad.\" title=\"Stage Manager on an iPad.\" tg-width=\"1960\" tg-height=\"1400\"/><span>Stage Manager on an iPad.</span></p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Fixing the situation starts with making the high-end iPad range look more like their Mac counterparts. And that’s just what Apple seems poised to do.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That includes the sizes in the two categories. Right now, the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air each come in two screen-size choices, but today’s iPad Pro has two options and the iPad Air comes in one.

Also: Peloton’s CEO finally calls it quits, and AI becomes the hot topic at Apple’s earnings announcement.The StartersSteve Jobs introducing the iPad in 2010.After he unveiled the iPad in 2010, Steve Jobs declared that “PCs are going to be like trucks.” In other words, people would use tablets for most of their needs (the cars in this scenario) and only bust out a laptop or desktop computer for heavy-duty tasks.When the iPad 2 came out a year later, Jobs reinforced that idea, saying Apple was now firmly in the post-PC era.In a way, Jobs was right. But not necessarily because of the iPad. There are millions of people who now use the iPhone as their primary computer. Smartphones have become incredibly capable, and larger screens have turned them into small tablets with computer-like performance. For many people, a phone is all they need.But when it comes to turning the iPad into a computer replacement, Apple has lost its way. The device still lacks the multitasking abilities of a laptop, and it has less of an advantage over regular smartphones.Apple has taken steps toward making the iPad more effective, but they’ve been half-measures. The first iPad Pro, released in 2015, offered bigger screens and an attachable keyboard case. The case was improved a bit with the 2018 iPad Pro, and there was a bigger leap forward in 2020 with the Magic Keyboard and trackpad — plus software support for cursor-based navigation. Still, none of these advances made it feel like you no longer needed a laptop.Two years ago, Apple introduced Stage Manager, aiming to make the iPad better at multitasking. This optional feature allowed users to spread application windows around, but it was so unintuitive that Apple was forced to make changes. That delayed the version of iPadOS that included the feature by a month. It was an ambitious undertaking: Apple was trying to reinvent multitasking for people who may have never used a Mac. But that didn’t make it better.Apple’s iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard.More recently, Apple has given the iPad a boost by equipping it with Mac-level chips. To be clear, this was largely a marketing exercise. When Apple put the Mac’s M1 processor in the iPad Pro in 2021, it was essentially the same as an “A14X” chip that would have been in that year’s model. But advertising the iPad as having Mac capabilities goes a long way with customers and developers.Now it’s time for Apple to take a stand. Does it want the iPad to be a half-baked laptop alternative or a real computing replacement? Consumers are confused about why they should buy an iPad versus a Mac and vice versa.The answer: Apple should commit to making the iPad as capable as a laptop, but in a form that tablet users prefer. The Mac should be for consumers who like working on a traditional computer; the iPad should be for people who want the option of a touch screen.There shouldn’t be much of a difference otherwise — though people who need the highest performance (the trucks, in the Jobs analogy) are probably going to stick with Macs.This picture is going to blur a bit more in the coming years because Apple is working to bring touch screens to the Mac. When that happens, choosing between a Mac and iPad will hinge more on whether you want an all-in-one device (laptop) or a modular system (iPad + Magic Keyboard + Apple Pencil).From a business standpoint, there’s always been a fear that the iPad will cannibalize Mac sales if it gets too powerful. So what? Neither category is doing that hot right now. Apple should just make the best iPad it can, while also making the best Mac it can. The days of purposely holding back the iPad need to end.Apple has a chance to kick off a new era for the iPad at its “Let Loose” launch event planned for Tuesday. The presentation, which is expected to be about 35 minutes, should set the product on a new path. It’s also an opportunity to clean up the confusing iPad lineup, which is currently made up of five different models.Stage Manager on an iPad.Fixing the situation starts with making the high-end iPad range look more like their Mac counterparts. And that’s just what Apple seems poised to do.That includes the sizes in the two categories. Right now, the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air each come in two screen-size choices, but today’s iPad Pro has two options and the iPad Air comes in one. As of next week, the iPad Air will match the MacBook Air and gain a second screen size.The processor configurations also will change. The new iPad Air will likely have the M2 chip, while the Pro is expected to gain a powerful new M4 chip — a component primed to handle Apple’s still-emerging artificial intelligence features. As with the MacBook lineup, the performance capabilities of the Pro and Air models will be clearly distinguished.Here’s how the iPad line will probably look after Tuesday:iPad (ninth generation), with a 10.2-inch screen and a home button.iPad (10th generation), with a 10.9-inch screen and no home button.iPad mini (sixth generation), with a 8.3-inch screen.iPad Air: 11-inch and 12.9-inch models, with M2 chips.iPad Pro: 11-inch and 12.9-inch models, with M4 chips.By next year, Apple plans to finish cleaning up the line. The ninth-generation iPad will be gone, replaced by a cheaper 10.9-inch model, and the iPad mini will have a faster chip. Altogether, Apple will have its least-cluttered iPad lineup in years.Moreover, the top-end iPads will feel more like computers. The new aluminum Magic Keyboard is expected to be more durable, with a laptop-like aesthetic. And new software will take advantage of the hardware.As I’ve written previously, it’s also high time for Apple to give the iPad a more intuitive and useful multitasking experience. If the company can pull that off — combined with the new hardware and a focus on AI — Apple could once again make the iPad feel like the future.The BenchApple earnings results turn into AI lovefest.

Palantir Technologies</h2><p>Palantir specializes in data analytics. Its software lets businesses capture and integrate data, develop and manage artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) models, and build applications that incorporate those data sets and models. Those applications help workers make better decisions, which theoretically leads to better business outcomes. The company recently debuted a new product called AIP, or Artificial Intelligence Platform, which brings support for large language models and generative AI to its existing software.</p><p>Industry analysts have praised Palantir for its technological prowess. For instance, <strong>Forrester Research</strong> ranked its Foundry software as the best AI/ML platform on the market in a report published in July 2022. Likewise, Dresner Advisory Services ranked Palantir as a leader in the AI/ML and data science market in a report published in August 2023. Around the same time, Dresner also recognized the company as a leader in ModelOps (model operations), a discipline focused on model lifecycle management.</p><div><div></div></div><p>Palantir reported encouraging financial results in the fourth quarter. Its customer count climbed 35% and the average existing customer spent 8% more. In turn, revenue increased 20% to $608 million and non-GAAP (adjusted) net income doubled to reach $0.08 per diluted share. CEO Alex Karp said demand for AIP was a key growth driver. "Momentum with AIP is now significantly contributing to new revenue and new customers," he wrote in his shareholder letter. "The organic and unconstrained demand for its capabilities is unlike anything we have seen in two decades."</p><p>Going forward, Straits Research forecasts that big data analytics spending will increase at 14% annually through 2031. However, Wall Street analysts expect Palantir to grow sales at 21% annually over the next five years. That consensus estimate makes its current valuation of 22.8 times sales look relatively expensive. Personally, I would not buy this stock until that multiple comes down. It's also worth mentioning that Palantir traded at an average of 18.6 times sales during the fourth quarter, when Englander, Greenblatt, and Cohen were buying shares. I would be more comfortable with that valuation.</p><div><app :collapse_on_load=\"false\" :instrument_id=\"202816\" :show_benchmark_compare=\"true\" amount_change=\"5.72\" average_volume=\"42,232,360\" company_name=\"Amazon\" current_price=\"184.72\" daily_high=\"185.10\" daily_low=\"179.91\" default_period=\"OneYear\" dividend_yield=\"N/A\" exchange=\"NASDAQ\" fifty_two_week_high=\"189.77\" fifty_two_week_low=\"103.55\" gross_margin=\"47.59\" logo=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/art/companylogos/mark/AMZN.png\" market_cap=\"$1,921B\" pe_ratio=\"51.88\" percent_change=\"3.20\" symbol=\"AMZN\" volume=\"22,962\"></app></div><h2>2. Amazon</h2><p>Amazon has a strong presence in three markets. In e-commerce, it operates the largest online marketplace in North America and Western Europe as measured by sales.

Amazon has steadily gained share in both markets in recent years, and the shares gains are projected to continue in the future.</p><p>In cloud computing, Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounted for 31% of cloud infrastructure and platform services (CIPS) spending in the first quarter, 6 percentage points more than second-place <strong>Microsoft</strong> Azure.

However, the company remains uniquely positioned to monetize AI given its leadership in the CIPS market.</p><div><div></div></div><p>Additionally, AWS could reclaim lost market share with help from AI products Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Q. Bedrock is a cloud service that lets businesses customize large language models and build bespoke generative AI applications. Amazon Q is a conversational assistant that leans on generative AI to answer questions and automate coding projects. On the first-quarter earnings call, CEO Andy Jassy shared this information: "Q is not only the most functionally capable AI-powered assistant for software development and data, but also setting the standard for performance. Q has the highest-known score and acceptance rate for code suggestions, outperforms all other publicly benchmarkable competitors at catching security vulnerabilities, and leads all software development assistants on connecting multiple steps together and applying automatic actions."</p><p>Amazon topped Wall Street's expectations with its first-quarter financial report.

Meanwhile, GAAP net income more than tripled to reach $0.98 per diluted share as the company continued to make progress on cost control.</p><p>Retail e-commerce sales are forecast to grow at 8% annually through 2030, and the digital advertising and cloud computing markets are forecast to expand at annual rates of 15% and 14%, respectively.

Its graphics processing units power many of the most advanced AI systems, and the company holds over 80% market share in AI processors. In short, from a semiconductor perspective, Nvidia is almost single-handedly enabling the AI boom. That drove shares 239% higher in 2023.Even so, the hedge fund billionaires listed below sold down their positions in Nvidia during the fourth quarter, while simultaneously redeploying capital across Palantir Technologies (PLTR 1.94%) and Amazon (AMZN 3.20%), two red-hot AI stocks up 191% and 77%, respectively, in the past year.Israel Englander of Millennium Management sold 1.7 million shares of Nvidia in the fourth quarter, reducing his stake by 45%.

As a result, officials are likely to emphasize that they are prepared to hold rates steady, at a level most of them expect will provide meaningful restraint to economic activity, for longer than they previously anticipated.</p><p>With no new economic projections at this meeting and minimal changes expected to the Fed's policy statement, Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference will be the main event on Wednesday. Here's what to watch:</p><h2 id=\"id_1498624758\">The inflation setback</h2><p>Since officials' meeting in March, the economy has continued to demonstrate strong momentum. But inflation has disappointed after a string of cool readings in the second half of 2023 stirred optimism the central bank might be able to lower rates.</p><p>In March, Powell held out the prospect that strong price pressures in January had been a bump on the road to lower inflation. Firm readings for February and March (even if not quite as hot as January) punctured that optimism. They raise the prospect that inflation might settle out closer to 3%. The Fed targets 2% inflation over time.</p><p>Powell is likely to repeat a message he delivered two weeks ago, when he said recent data had "clearly not given us greater confidence" that inflation would continue declining to 2% "and instead indicate that it's likely to take longer than expected to achieve that."</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/58ac79df25e9e0cc51876a3d5a5ba665\" tg-width=\"622\" tg-height=\"524\"/></p><p>The focus at this meeting will be how Powell characterizes the interest-rate outlook. While most Wall Street strategists think one or two rate cuts are still possible later this year, the prospect of such a recalibration without clear evidence of economic weakness remains a bigger wild card than it did just a few weeks ago. Some think the Fed might not cut at all.</p><p>The Fed's rate outlook hinges on its inflation forecast, and the most recent data raises two possibilities. One is that the Fed's expectation that inflation continues to move lower but in an uneven and "bumpy" fashion is still intact -- but with bigger bumps. In such a scenario, a delayed and slower pace of rate cuts is still possible this year.</p><p>A second possibility is that inflation, rather than on a "bumpy" path to 2%, is getting stuck at a level closer to 3%. Without evidence that the economy is slowing more notably, that could scrap the case for cuts altogether.</p><h2 id=\"id_2135524953\">Rate policy remains "well-positioned"</h2><p>Powell is likely to acknowledge that officials have less conviction about when and how much to reduce interest rates. In March, most officials projected two or more rate cuts would be appropriate this year, and a narrow majority penciled in at least three cuts.</p><p>Even though officials won't submit new projections this week, at other meetings without them, Powell has taken the opportunity to reaffirm those one-meeting-old projections or, alternatively, declare them out of date. Wednesday's meeting is more likely to yield the latter outcome.</p><p>At the same time, Fed officials have indicated that they are broadly comfortable with their current stance. This makes a hawkish pivot toward entertaining rate increases unlikely.</p><p>"Policy is well-positioned to handle the risks that we face," Powell said on April 16. If inflation continues to run somewhat stronger, the Fed will simply keep rates at their current level for longer, he said.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c677b4f92d37f945481eacde52c31cb2\" tg-width=\"648\" tg-height=\"517\"/></p><p>As financial-market participants anticipate fewer cuts, longer-dated bond yields will rise. In effect, this achieves the same kind of tightening in financial conditions that Fed officials sought when they raised interest rates last year. Higher yields across the Treasury yield curve should ultimately hit asset values, including stocks, and slow the economy's momentum.</p><p>If inflation stays firm "that is what they will want to see, ultimately, " said Subadra Rajappa, head of U.S. rates strategy at Société Générale.</p><h2 id=\"id_1610720027\">Low risks of a hawkish pivot</h2><p>The difficulty for Fed officials in communicating their outlook right now boils down to the conditional nature of the "if/then" statements volunteered by Fed officials, which are premised on one set of outcomes. When the economy performs in ways that officials don't anticipate, their past statements may no longer be valid.</p><p>To that end, Powell might be hard-pressed to rule out any additional increases, even though it is likely premature for officials to meaningfully move in that direction.</p><p>But a hawkish pivot, suggesting an increase in rates is more likely than a cut, appears unlikely, for now. Any such shift is likely to unfold over a longer period. It would require some combination of a new, nasty supply shock such as a significant increase in commodity prices; signs that wage growth was reaccelerating; and evidence the public was anticipating higher inflation to continue well into the future.</p><p>A key measure on wages will be released Tuesday morning by the Labor Department, which will report the employment-cost index for the first quarter. Fed officials consider that measure the most comprehensive measure of pay growth. Signs that wage pressures have continued to ease would likely allay concerns about stickier service-sector inflation.</p><h2 id=\"id_2652152856\">The balance sheet</h2><p>Fed officials have said they could announce "fairly soon" their plan to slow the runoff of their $4.5 trillion in holdings of Treasury securities, which are part of their $7.4 trillion asset portfolio. That has led analysts to expect a formal plan announcing the slowdown at their meeting this week, though some see a chance this happens at their subsequent meeting in June.</p><p>At issue is a program the central bank initiated two years ago to passively reduce those holdings by allowing bonds to "run off" its balance sheet without buying new ones. It acquired trillions in Treasurys and mortgage bonds to stabilize financial markets in 2020 and to provide additional stimulus in 2021.</p><p>Every month, officials have allowed as much as $60 billion in Treasury securities and as much as $35 billion in mortgage-backed securities to mature without being replaced. The process is designed to shrink the Fed's balance sheet, which topped out at nearly $9 trillion two years ago.</p><p>At the March meeting, officials appeared to coalesce around a plan to reduce the pace of runoff "by roughly half." Because high interest rates have kept mortgage-bond runoff at a subdued level, officials wouldn't change that part of their program and instead lower the cap on monthly Treasury redemptions.</p><p>The latest changes aren't related to the setting of interest rates and are instead designed to avoid a messy upheaval in overnight lending markets that occurred five years ago.</p><p>The reduction in assets is also draining the financial system of bank deposits held at the Fed, which are called reserves. Officials don't know at what point reserves will grow scarce enough to push up yields in interbank lending markets. Slowing the process now is seen as preferable by many officials because it could allow the portfolio runoff to continue for somewhat longer without risking the same kind of market ruckus that occurred in 2019.</p></body></html>","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>Fed to Signal It Has Stomach to Keep Rates High for Longer</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\">\nFed to Signal It Has Stomach to Keep Rates High for Longer\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2024-04-30 19:46</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>By Nick Timiraos</p><p>An ancient Chinese proverb that counsels "do nothing, and everything will be done" could sum up the Federal Reserve's latest approach to interest-rate policy.</p><p>Fed officials will hold their benchmark federal-funds rate steady at its highest level in more than two decades, around 5.3%, at their two-day policy meeting that begins Tuesday.</p><p>Firmer-than-anticipated inflation in the first three months of the year has likely postponed rate cuts for the foreseeable future.

Munger was 99 when he took the stage for his final annual meeting last May. He died in November, just shy of his 100th birthday.</p><p>Buffett is the company's chief executive and the more famous investor, but Munger held a special place in the hearts of Berkshire fans. They heard wisdom in his thoughts on everything from the commercial to the personal. They loved that he was unafraid to speak his mind. And his sense of humor, sometimes biting, made them laugh.</p><p>The pairing of Buffett's lengthier and more diplomatic remarks with Munger's acerbic one-liners, along with the clear camaraderie between the two men, could make their appearances feel like episodes in a great buddy comedy of capitalism.</p><p>"I feel like there's going to be a place in my heart missing when we don't see Charlie up there," said Lyle McIntosh, a farmer who lives in Missouri Valley, Iowa, and first attended the meetings in the 1980s.

Tesla already reported a 9% decline in first-quarter deliveries and Q1 revenue was also down 9% to $21.3 billion, missing the consensus at $22.15 billion. Automotive revenue was down even more sharply, falling 13% to $17.4 billion, a function of price cuts in both the industry and at Tesla.</p><p>Those price cuts led to a sharp decline in operating margin from 11.4% to 5.5% and adjusted earnings per share slipped from $0.85 to $0.45, below analyst estimates at $0.51.</p><p>Despite the weak results, Tesla stock soared after hours, closing the extra session up 13.3%. CEO Elon Musk pulled off a familiar sleight of hand, focusing investor attention on future products rather than current struggles. His pitch was enough to reinvigorate the stock price.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/6e1f183d2da6094a52c83e265bc1f2be\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"/></p><p>Image source: Tesla.</p><h2 id=\"id_1614427244\">"We should be thought of as an AI or robotics company"</h2><p>Much of the earnings call focused on the company's goal of achieving vehicle autonomy, or full self-driving, FSD for short.</p><p>Musk essentially staked the company's future on FSD, saying, "If somebody doesn't believe Tesla is going to solve autonomy, I think they should not be an investor in the company." He also envisions a future where FSD allows Tesla owners to lease out their cars, adding value to them, driving demand, and building a whole new business for Tesla as it operates its own autonomous ride-sharing network.</p><p>In fact, Musk's comment above about the company deserving of being valued as an artificial intelligence (AI) company rather than an automaker shows he sees a future beyond just EVs, and it's clear why he said that.</p><p>Even after Tesla stock has tumbled this year, it still trades at a substantial premium to other conventional auto stocks like <strong>General Motors</strong>, <strong>Ford Motor Company</strong>, and <strong>Toyota. </strong>Part of that premium owes to Tesla's status as a pure-play EV maker as EVs are seen as the future of the industry. However, with EV sales growth now stalling and price competition weighing on margins, the EV growth story seems to have been dialed down substantially. Tesla acknowledged that its vehicle volume growth rate "may be notably lower" than in 2023.</p><p>Given those challenges, a greater portion of Tesla stock's premium may now stem from its potential in AI and full self-driving.</p><h2 id=\"id_2867817800\">All eyes on FSD</h2><p>As Musk sees it, Tesla is in pole position in the autonomous vehicle race because it has more than 5 million cars on the road. The company can virtually flip a switch to enable them for full self-driving when the technology is ready. Musk promised: "It's only a matter of time before we exceed the reliability of humans in not much time with that. And we're really headed for an electric vehicle and autonomous future."</p><p>The opportunity in autonomous vehicles is likely massive, but it's a mistake to assume that Tesla will have this market to itself. <strong>Alphabet</strong>'s Waymo has racked up millions of rider-only miles in the cities where it's offering autonomous ride-sharing, which now include Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.</p><p>Other automakers like GM and Ford have their own self-driving technology, and plenty of tech companies are also involved in the AV race, like <strong>Amazon</strong>'s Zoox and <strong>Intel</strong>'s Mobileye.</p><p>Outside of Musk's own conjecture, there's little evidence that Tesla is leading the FSD race. For example, last year <em>Consumer Reports </em>ranked Ford's BlueCruise AV technology ahead of Tesla's. In fact, the renowned product-testing service said GM, <strong>Mercedes-Benz</strong>, <strong>BMW</strong>, Toyota, and <strong>Volkswagen</strong> all topped Tesla in self-driving technology.</p><p>That doesn't mean Tesla's technology isn't on the verge of a significant breakthrough, but investors should take Musk's words with a grain of salt.</p><p>The Tesla CEO is mercurial, and he's prone to hyperbole.

Tesla already reported a 9% decline in first-quarter deliveries and Q1 revenue was also down 9% to $21.3 billion, missing the consensus at $22.15 billion. Automotive revenue was down even more sharply, falling 13% to $17.4 billion, a function of price cuts in both the industry and at Tesla.Those price cuts led to a sharp decline in operating margin from 11.4% to 5.5% and adjusted earnings per share slipped from $0.85 to $0.45, below analyst estimates at $0.51.Despite the weak results, Tesla stock soared after hours, closing the extra session up 13.3%. CEO Elon Musk pulled off a familiar sleight of hand, focusing investor attention on future products rather than current struggles. His pitch was enough to reinvigorate the stock price.Image source: Tesla.\"We should be thought of as an AI or robotics company\"Much of the earnings call focused on the company's goal of achieving vehicle autonomy, or full self-driving, FSD for short.Musk essentially staked the company's future on FSD, saying, \"If somebody doesn't believe Tesla is going to solve autonomy, I think they should not be an investor in the company.\" He also envisions a future where FSD allows Tesla owners to lease out their cars, adding value to them, driving demand, and building a whole new business for Tesla as it operates its own autonomous ride-sharing network.In fact, Musk's comment above about the company deserving of being valued as an artificial intelligence (AI) company rather than an automaker shows he sees a future beyond just EVs, and it's clear why he said that.Even after Tesla stock has tumbled this year, it still trades at a substantial premium to other conventional auto stocks like General Motors, Ford Motor Company, and Toyota. Part of that premium owes to Tesla's status as a pure-play EV maker as EVs are seen as the future of the industry. However, with EV sales growth now stalling and price competition weighing on margins, the EV growth story seems to have been dialed down substantially. Tesla acknowledged that its vehicle volume growth rate \"may be notably lower\" than in 2023.Given those challenges, a greater portion of Tesla stock's premium may now stem from its potential in AI and full self-driving.All eyes on FSDAs Musk sees it, Tesla is in pole position in the autonomous vehicle race because it has more than 5 million cars on the road. The company can virtually flip a switch to enable them for full self-driving when the technology is ready. Musk promised: \"It's only a matter of time before we exceed the reliability of humans in not much time with that. And we're really headed for an electric vehicle and autonomous future.\"The opportunity in autonomous vehicles is likely massive, but it's a mistake to assume that Tesla will have this market to itself. Alphabet's Waymo has racked up millions of rider-only miles in the cities where it's offering autonomous ride-sharing, which now include Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.Other automakers like GM and Ford have their own self-driving technology, and plenty of tech companies are also involved in the AV race, like Amazon's Zoox and Intel's Mobileye.Outside of Musk's own conjecture, there's little evidence that Tesla is leading the FSD race. For example, last year Consumer Reports ranked Ford's BlueCruise AV technology ahead of Tesla's. In fact, the renowned product-testing service said GM, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Toyota, and Volkswagen all topped Tesla in self-driving technology.That doesn't mean Tesla's technology isn't on the verge of a significant breakthrough, but investors should take Musk's words with a grain of salt.The Tesla CEO is mercurial, and he's prone to hyperbole. While he's clearly a visionary leader and deserves more credit than anyone for taking EVs mainstream, he's also overpromised on a number of occasions.If FSD evolves the way Musk envisions it, it would certainly be a game changer for the company, but investors should be aware that a considerable premium is already priced into Tesla stock. As Musk said himself, at this point, investing in Tesla stock seems to be more of a wager on Tesla's potential in full self-driving than anything else, and that can swing both ways.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":45,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4122115586719872","authorId":"4122115586719872","name":"Richardyeo","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c2752678a950a7f2608987390fc90714","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"content":"The worst is over for 1st Quarter…now is the beginning of Tesla healing proceed….looking to buy and keep for Aug report.

Alphabet said it will begin paying a 20 cents-a-share dividend starting in June.Alphabet is following the example set by Meta Platforms Inc., which stunned Wall Street in February in its fourth-quarter earnings when it said it would begin paying a dividend. Many investors started to wonder if Alphabet or Amazon would be next among the Big Tech giants to follow their lead.In most cases, the beginning of a dividend is a sign of a maturing company that has reached middle age, and its big growth days are over. But both Facebook parent Meta and Google parent Alphabet are currently on a strong growth trajectory in both of their businesses, much of which comes from internet ads. But both are also increasing their capital spending to build up more AI infrastructure in terms of data centers, hardware and software.Alphabet said it spent $12 billion in capital expenditures in the first quarter. In the first two quarters of 2023 it did not give numbers for its capital spending and in third quarter, it spent $8 billion. In the fourth quarter of 2023 it spent $11 billion, \"overwhelmingly\" on technical infrastructure. Alphabet Chief Financial Officer Ruth Porat said Thursday that capital spending throughout the year will \"be roughly at or above the Q1 level.\"It's entirely feasible that both Meta and Alphabet have decided to pay a dividend and boost their stock buyback plans as an investor diversion while they both continue to spend, spend, spend on AI build-up. In the case of Alphabet, especially, which has been seen as behind in AI by many on Wall Street, the company spent time on its conference call talking about the advances it has made with Gemini, the generative-AI chatbot it launched in 2023.While Meta was able to cite some examples of how AI is boosting its ad performance, Alphabet Chief Executive Sundar Pichai touted Gemini's improvements as not costing as much as previously expected, and its improved latency. Making money from Gemini, he said, \"will play out over time, but I feel we are well-positioned.\"In after-hours trading, Alphabet shares soared about 12%, a gain of roughly $237 billion in market cap. If those gains hold through Friday, it would be the second-largest one-day market-cap gain ever for a U.S. company, and Alphabet would become the fourth U.S. company to reach $2 trillion in market cap, following Apple Inc. $(AAPL)$, Microsoft Corp. $(MSFT)$ and Nvidia Corp. $(NVDA)$.Executives at e-commerce giant Amazon $(AMZN)$ are probably watching the scenario, and may be getting pressure from their investors clamoring for a dividend too. While Microsoft is its biggest rival in cloud services, Alphabet said its cloud-services business, combined with YouTube, will reach $100 billion in revenue at the end of the year.Whether or not Amazon will succumb is the big question. Once you commit to a dividend, it is for the long run, and it is hard for companies to end those quarterly payments, no matter how small they may seem. The pressure is on.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":8,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":299115511423216,"gmtCreate":1714052476190,"gmtModify":1714052479649,"author":{"id":"3577182936341023","authorId":"3577182936341023","name":"MIe","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Traders investors trim profits ","listText":"Traders investors trim profits ","text":"Traders investors trim profits","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/299115511423216","repostId":"1118637849","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1118637849","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1714052318,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1118637849?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2024-04-25 21:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Big Tech Stocks Sink With Meta Down 15%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1118637849","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Big Tech Stocks in morning trading.

Spending on goods decreased for the first time in more than a year, restrained by motor vehicles and gasoline.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":38,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":298751516708904,"gmtCreate":1713969222153,"gmtModify":1713969225940,"author":{"id":"3577182936341023","authorId":"3577182936341023","name":"MIe","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nvidia ai dip buy for q1 upside earnings may ","listText":"Nvidia ai dip buy for q1 upside earnings may ","text":"Nvidia ai dip buy for q1 upside earnings may","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/298751516708904","repostId":"2429124495","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2429124495","pubTimestamp":1713967200,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2429124495?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2024-04-24 22:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nvidia: No Reason For An AI Panic","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2429124495","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Nvidia Corporation slumped 10% last Friday without any negative data points, as the market interpreted AI-related data as negative.TSMC guided to strong 2024 growth rates of over 20% due to AI demand.","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Nvidia Corporation slumped 10% last Friday without any negative data points, as the market interpreted AI-related data as negative.</p></li><li><p>TSMC guided to strong 2024 growth rates of over 20% due to AI demand.</p></li><li><p>Super Micro Computer's lack of a guide up for the March quarter does not indicate a sudden drying up of AI demand.</p></li><li><p>The stock is fairly valued at 25x FY26 EPS targets, though investors need to ultimately price in margin compression in the future.</p></li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/6144f6f01bec9d39bca22c82ac595a7e\" alt=\"BING-JHEN HONG\" title=\"BING-JHEN HONG\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\"/><span>BING-JHEN HONG</span></p><p>The stock market wasn't in a good mood last week and the AI stocks took a beating. <strong>Nvidia Corporation</strong> (NASDAQ:NVDA) slumped 10% on Friday and over 200 points from the high from last month without even a negative data point.

The foundry company did downgrade overall chip demand, but TSMC suggested the issue was traditional server CPU chip demand favoring chip production for Nvidia over foundry chips produced by <strong>Intel</strong> (INTC):</p><p>On the Q4 '23 earnings call, the CEO C.C.

Well, we have a lower presence in those CPU-only, CPU-centric traditional server. So we expect our growth will be very healthy.</p></blockquote><p>The secondary tidbit was <strong>Super Micro Computer</strong> (SMCI) announcing the FQ3 '24 earnings call without the company updating guidance. The stock market interpreted the server and storage solutions company as providing a bad signal for the blow away AI GPU demand via strong guide ups for the last few quarters. The reality is that Super Micro doesn't have a consistent pattern of guiding up as follows:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>FQ3'24–April 19, 2024: No Guidance Update</p></li><li><p>FQ2'24–January 18, 2024: Net Sales $3.6 to $3.65B vs. $2.7 to $2.8B</p></li><li><p>FQ1'24–October 18, 2023: No Guidance Update</p></li><li><p>FQ4'23–July 20, 2023: Net Sales $2.15 to $2.18B vs. $1.7 to $1.9B</p></li><li><p>FQ3'23–April 24, 2023: Net Sales of $1.28B vs. $1.47B.</p></li></ul><p>The odd part about the huge negative reaction to Super Micro announcing the FQ3 '24 earnings call update without a big guide up is that the company had only guided up during 2 of the prior 4 quarters. Revenues tripled from the time of the FQ3 '23 disappointment pre-announcement until the reported FQ2 '24 report. In addition, the server solutions company reported meager results in FQ1 '24 when the company didn't guide up similar to this quarter.</p><p>Due to seasonality, the March quarter is usually slow for the semiconductor space. The consensus analyst estimates are inline with company guidance for 200% growth at $3.94 billion and analysts forecast a massive step up in the June quarter to sales of $4.88 billion.</p><p>Any investor trying to read negativity into the Super Micro lack of a guide up for the March quarter is over extrapolating far too much.

The company would watch opex soar by over $17 billion and dampen EPS by nearly $6 per share. Under a scenario where gross margins normalize back at 65% and opex soars to match the higher revenue base, Nvidia watches the EPS dip back to $15.</p><p>Back above $800 now, the stock isn't aggressively priced at 26x FY26 EPS targets of $30. The company might not face the margin compression issues for another 1 to 2 years, but investors need to understand the negative margin scenario will ultimately play out similar to how Nvidia ran into FY23 gross margins of only 59%.</p><p>My prior research suggested the stock was fairly priced back in the $600 range.

The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists expects a 0.4% advance in the core measure, which excludes food and fuel and better reflects underlying inflation.Those monthly advances are seen slowing the deceleration in annual inflation that remains well north of the Fed’s goal. In addition, Friday’s data will underscore a fully engaged American consumer, with economists anticipating the sharpest advance in nominal spending on goods and services since October 2021.This week’s report is also projected to show the largest increase in personal income in 1 1/2 years, fueled both by a resilient job market and a large upward cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security recipients.In sum, the income and spending data are expected to illustrate the challenge confronting a Fed in the midst of its most aggressive policy tightening campaign in a generation. The report follows figures this past week revealing a spike in retail sales and hotter-than-anticipated consumer and producer price data.What Bloomberg Economics Says:“It’s stunning that the decline in year-over-year inflation has stalled completely, given the favorable base effects and supply environment. That means it won’t take much for new inflation peaks to arise.”—Anna Wong, Eliza Winger and Stuart Paul. For full analysisInvestors have been upping their bets on how far the Fed will raise rates this tightening cycle. They now see the federal funds rate climbing to 5.3% in July, according to interest-rate futures. That compares with a perceived peak rate of 4.9% just two weeks ago.Minutes from the Fed’s latest policy meeting, at which the central bank raised its benchmark rate by 25 basis points, will also be released on Wednesday. The readout may help shed light on the appetite for a bigger increase when policymakers convene again in March after recent comments from some officials suggested as much.Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester said this week that she had seen a “compelling economic case” for rolling out another 50 basis-point hike earlier this month, while the St. Louis Fed’s James Bullard said he wouldn’t rule out supporting such an increase in March.January new- and existing-home sales, along with the second estimate of fourth-quarter gross domestic product, are among other US data releases this week.Elsewhere, in North America, Canada’s January inflation data will inform trader bets on the future path of rates after the Bank of Canada declared a conditional pause to hikes, only to see the labor market tighten further.Meanwhile testimony by Japan’s next central-bank chief, a Group of 20 meeting of finance ministers, and rate increases in New Zealand and Israel, are among other highlights of the week ahead.AsiaIn a big week for central banking in Asia-Pacific, investors will get their first detailed look into Kazuo Ueda’s policy views on Friday during the first parliamentary hearings for the nominee to become Bank of Japan governor.That’ll follow another expected rate hike from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand as it continues to battle inflation in excess of 7%.The Bank of Korea is predicted to pause amid signs of strain in its economy, though another hike can’t be ruled out given inflation remains above 5%.Minutes from the most recent Reserve Bank of Australia meeting are likely to give more insight into the board’s thinking on further rate hikes as Governor Philip Lowe battles to fight off criticism over his leadership.Ahead of the weekend, Japanese inflation figures are expected to show there’s still plenty of heat in prices for the new BOJ governor to consider.And in India, Group of 20 finance chiefs will meet later in the week to discuss the world economy in their first such gathering of the year.Europe, Middle East, AfricaEuro-region data highlights include the flash survey readings from purchasing managers for February, providing insights into how well the economy is holding up after unexpectedly growing in the fourth quarter. That’s scheduled for Tuesday.The final reading of euro-zone inflation, due on Thursday, will take on greater significance than usual after delayed German data was omitted from the first estimate. Economists anticipate a small upward revision.In Germany itself, the Ifo index of business sentiment on Wednesday will signal how Europe’s biggest economy is weathering the energy crisis. Economists forecast improvements on all key measures.In the UK, where inflation slowed more than expected last month, investors will watch for analysis of what that means for policy from Bank of England officials. Catherine Mann and Silvana Tenreyro are both scheduled to make appearances.Over in the Nordic region, on Monday the Riksbank will release minutes of its inaugural meeting of 2023. That decision, which featured a half-point rate increase, a pledge to sell bonds, and a pivot toward seeking a stronger krona, was the first for new Swedish Governor Erik Thedeen.Looking south, Israel’s central bank will likely deliver the smallest rate hike of its monetary tightening cycle by lifting its benchmark a quarter percentage point to 4% on Monday. But a surprise pickup in inflation, alongside political turbulence, raise the risk that policymakers could opt for a more aggressive move.South African Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana will present his annual budget on Wednesday. He’s expected to announce how much of state power utility Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd.’s 400 billion-rand ($22 billion) debt will be taken over by the government.Nigerian data on Wednesday may show growth slowed to 1.9% in the fourth quarter from 2.3% in the prior three-month period, according to economist estimates. That’s as cash shortages, rising debt-servicing costs, deteriorating fiscal balances, a plunging naira and election jitters curtail spending and investment.Turkey’s central bank is set to cut rates to less than 9%, as pledged by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan earlier this month. The country’s devastating earthquakes will also spur officials to carry out more easing on Thursday, economists say.Latin AmericaIn Mexico, the mid-month consumer price report should underscore the obvious: inflation is elevated, well over target and sticky as the headline rate hovers near 7.8% while core readings continue to run above 8%.The minutes of Banxico’s Feb. 9 meeting may offer some guidance on what policymakers see as a possible terminal rate from the current 11% and how long they might decide to keep it there.December GDP-proxy data from Argentina and Mexico will probably show that both economies are cooling rapidly. Peru’s fourth-quarter output report is also predicted to reveal a drop in momentum, capturing the December onset of political turmoil and nationwide unrest set off by President Pedro Castillo’s ouster.Brazil’s central bank posts its market expectations survey at mid-week with the end of the Carnival holiday. Both President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and central bank chief Roberto Campos Neto gave high-profile interviews that may help damp tensions over monetary policy that are at least partly to blame for rising inflation expectations.Mid-month consumer price data posted Friday may show inflation is hung up near the 5.79% currently forecast for year-end 2023 and precisely where it finished 2022.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":47,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9941303252,"gmtCreate":1679941400777,"gmtModify":1679941404318,"author":{"id":"3577182936341023","authorId":"3577182936341023","name":"MIe","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Eye opener to regional bank due to usa bank crisis ","listText":"Eye opener to regional bank due to usa bank crisis ","text":"Eye opener to regional bank due to usa bank crisis","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":28,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9941303252","repostId":"1110018740","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1110018740","pubTimestamp":1679930756,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1110018740?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-03-27 23:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Reasons We Absolutely Need Regional Banks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1110018740","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"KEY POINTSMost people haven't heard of a lot of regional banks.But they are the backbone of the U.S.","content":"<html><head></head><body><h3>KEY POINTS</h3><ul><li>Most people haven't heard of a lot of regional banks.</li><li>But they are the backbone of the U.S. economy, and originate much of the country's lending activity.</li><li>Regional banks also help power the economy and innovation behind the scenes as well.</li></ul><p>After the collapse of several banks plunged the banking system, economy, and financial markets into uncertainty, I've heard some people wonder whether or not regional banks are more trouble than they're worth.</p><p>After all, I'm sure plenty of people had never heard of SVB Financial or Signature Bank prior to their impending failures and might be wondering if they are worth keeping around considering what has ensued. Why not just use the banks that are "too big to fail" like JPMorgan Chase?</p><p>While I can understand the frustration, I find this thinking to be severely flawed and misguided. Regional banks and community banks are the backbone of the U.S. economy. Here are three reasons why.</p><h3>1. Regional banks do the bulk of lending</h3><p>In a note from Goldman Sachs, economists pointed out that banks with less than $250 billion in assets originate roughly half of all commercial and industrial loans, which are loans made to businesses and corporations to provide working capital for capital expenditures. These smaller banks also account for 60% of all U.S. mortgages, 80% of all commercial real estate loans, and 45% of all consumer loans.</p><p>Large banks like JPMorgan are absolutely vital to the economy, but regional and community banks know their prospective markets better and can form close customer relationships that, in many cases, allow them to make better underwriting decisions.</p><p>Furthermore, regional banks have the opportunity to carve out niches. Now, obviously, banks need to be careful about getting too heavily concentrated in one area like the way that SVB did, but there are banks that specialize in lending and can provide custom-tailored services for specific industries, whether it's pharmacies, veterinarians, long-haul truckers, or hospitals. Smaller banks have more incentive to do this in order to differentiate themselves from the larger banks, which I think is a good dynamic to have in banking.</p><h3>2. The big banks can't get too big too fast</h3><p>Make no mistake, with more than 4,700 banks there will continue to be consolidation in the industry, and I fully expect the big banks to get bigger. But growing too fast can be dangerous, and it's actually part of the reason that three banks collapsed earlier this year.</p><p>The reality is the big banks, while they do want to get bigger, would ideally like to do it in a more gradual and methodical manner. For one, if they grow deposits too fast they can run up against regulatory capital issues. During the pandemic, deposits at all U.S. commercial banks surged by nearly $5 trillion, ballooning bank balance sheets. This actually put pressure on large bank supplementary leverage capital ratio requirements (minimum 5% SLR), which look at a bank's tier 1 capital divided by its total on- and off-balance sheet assets.</p><p>Regulators actually granted large banks temporary exclusions on this during the earlier parts of the pandemic, but if banks run up against their regulatory requirements, measures they may have to take include raising capital or actually having to turn away deposits, and therefore business. Holding more cash also tends to hurt a bank's margins and lead to lower returns.</p><p>The last thing to consider is that despite all of the criticism banks have received, it is really safer for the bulk of lending activity to be done in the banking system. Banks are very highly regulated and have three regulators, including the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and either the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) or a state banking regulator. A lot of banking activity has been pushed into the shadow banking system, where things are much less regulated and much more opaque.</p><h3>3. Regional banks play a critical role in innovation and the economy</h3><p>While it's true that many people likely have not heard of a lot of regional banks, they are critical players in the economy and in helping drive innovation, although it's mainly being done behind the scenes.</p><p>For instance, did you know that the super regional bank U.S. Bancorp has been providing the federal government with payment services for more than three decades? Or how The Bancorp, a small $8 billion asset bank, serves as the card issuing bank and payment facilitator for huge fintech firms like Paypal?</p><p>The fact of the matter is that these smaller and regional banks power a lot of the financial services and products offered by some of the most well-known brands in the world. They provide the plumbing and infrastructure that can't always be seen in plain sight but is absolutely critical to the economy and innovation.</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>3 Reasons We Absolutely Need Regional Banks</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\">\n3 Reasons We Absolutely Need Regional Banks\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-03-27 23:25 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/03/27/3-reasons-we-absolutely-need-regional-banks/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSMost people haven't heard of a lot of regional banks.But they are the backbone of the U.S. economy, and originate much of the country's lending activity.Regional banks also help power the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/03/27/3-reasons-we-absolutely-need-regional-banks/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"FCNCA":"第一公民银行股份"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/03/27/3-reasons-we-absolutely-need-regional-banks/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1110018740","content_text":"KEY POINTSMost people haven't heard of a lot of regional banks.But they are the backbone of the U.S. economy, and originate much of the country's lending activity.Regional banks also help power the economy and innovation behind the scenes as well.After the collapse of several banks plunged the banking system, economy, and financial markets into uncertainty, I've heard some people wonder whether or not regional banks are more trouble than they're worth.After all, I'm sure plenty of people had never heard of SVB Financial or Signature Bank prior to their impending failures and might be wondering if they are worth keeping around considering what has ensued.

Over the same period, however, Tesla's stock has rocketed 14,096%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8f02376d436733f92aa4d4d8aa629220\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"485\"/></p><p>But the battle between Musk and Zuckerberg isn't all about stock performance. It's unclear if or when the tech luminaries will actually duke it out physically, but if Musk starts feeling nervous, he may be able to lean on his substantially higher net worth to hire the best training team money can buy.</p><h2>Musk is richer than Zuckerberg</h2><p>The Tesla CEO and Twitter owner was atop the Bloomberg Billionaires Index with a $236 billion net worth as of Thursday, and he's seen that total balloon by almost $100 billion this year alone. Of course, Zuckerberg is no slouch, clocking in at No. 10 on the list with a $104 billion net worth, $58 billion or so of which he has added thus far in 2023.</p><p>But Tesla investors probably wouldn't be too happy if Musk tapped into his position in the electric-car maker to pay for personal training -- at least judging by how Wall Street reacted when Musk had to sell some Tesla shares late last year to help finance his $44 billion purchase of Twitter.</p><h2>Musk's stake in Tesla dwarfs what Zuck owns of Meta</h2><p>Musk owns a nearly 13% stake in Tesla, amounting to 411 million shares, according to data provided by FactSet.

Momentum, however, appears to have faded in the final three months of the year as consumer spending takes a breather.Growth is also expected to be restrained by a wider trade deficit and slower pace of inventory building relative to the third quarter.But the growth pace likely remains enough to fend off a recession, with retail sales unexpectedly rising in November and single-family housing starts and building permits scaling 1-1/2-year highs.

The S&P 500 index has trended higher by almost 25% this year. It’s difficult to talk about targets for the next year, but I believe the markets will remain in an uptrend as multiple rate cuts are possible. Expansionary policies will not only stimulate economic growth but also inject liquidity into the financial system.</p><p>As a basic screening, I have looked at stocks to buy that are trading at a valuation gap. This includes growth stocks and blue-chip stocks. In my view, a portfolio of these stocks can potentially deliver 30% to 50% returns over the next 12 months. Further, these stocks are worth holding beyond this initial time horizon.</p><h2 id=\"id_2512798093\">Newmont Corporation (NEM)</h2><p><strong>Newmont Corporation</strong> (NYSE: <strong><u>NEM</u></strong>) is one of the more interesting stocks to buy as it has trended higher by 15% in the last month.</p><p>However, if we look at the 12-month chart, NEM stock is has delivered negative returns of 8%. With gold trading near $2,050 an ounce, it’s a good time to buy NEM stock for a bigger rally in the coming quarters. A dividend yield of 3.89% adds to the attractiveness.</p><p>With an investment grade balance sheet, Newmont has solidified its position as one of the largest gold miners. Further, the company has quality assets that are likely to ensure stable production into the 2040s. With prospects of multiple rate cuts in 2024, the rally for gold might have just started. It would not surprise me with a 30% to 40% rally for this blue-chip stock next year.</p><p>For Q3 2023, Newmont reported operating cash flow of $1 billion. If gold continues to trend higher, Newmont is positioned to report annual OCF of more than $5 billion in 2024. Cash flow upside will also be supported by the acquisition of Newcrest Mining. Strong cash flows would also imply healthy dividend growth.</p><h2 id=\"id_3071115457\">Li Auto (LI)</h2><p>Earlier this year, <strong>Li Auto</strong> (NASDAQ: <strong><u>LI</u></strong>) traded at highs of $47.3. However, with a profit booking driven correction, the stock is trading at $35. I believe this is one of the more intriguing stocks to buy, and I expect LI stock to double from current levels next year.</p><p>It’s worth mentioning that Li Auto commands a market valuation of $34.3 billion. However, the company holds cash of $12.13 billion as of Q3 2023. Further, in the last quarter, Li Auto reported free cash flow of $1.8 billion. Ultimately, valuations are based on cash flows and from that perspective, Li Auto seems significantly undervalued.</p><p>Further, with the company having a strong cash buffer, aggressive investment in retail expansion will support growth. The regular launch of new models is another catalyst. Early next year, Li MEGA will be launched and will support deliveries growth. The company is also planning overseas expansion with the first market likely to be the Middle-East.</p><h2 id=\"id_2782350093\">Riot Platforms (RIOT)</h2><p>There is a sense of missing out on the rally with <strong>Riot Platforms</strong> (NASDAQ: <strong><u>RIOT</u></strong>) stock having surged by almost 400% for year-to-date.</p><p>I want to point out the fact that RIOT stock was trading above $70 when <strong>Bitcoin</strong> (<strong><u>BTC-USD</u></strong>) made highs in 2021. It’s very likely that the cryptocurrency will make new highs next year and RIOT is one of the best crypto stocks to buy and a potential multi-bagger from current levels.</p><p>Of course, Bitcoin trending higher is not the only reason to like Riot Platforms. The company has strong fundamentals and is pursuing aggressive growth plans. In the next 12 to 24 months, Riot is positioned for stellar revenue and cash flow growth.</p><p>To put things into perspective, Riot has cash and digital assets worth $600 million. The company intends to use this cash buffer for aggressive mining capacity expansion. By the end of the year, Riot expects to achieve capacity of 12.3EH/s. Further, by the end of 2025, capacity should surge to 38.1EH/s. This will translate into robust cash flow growth assuming Bitcoin remains in an uptrend.</p><h2 id=\"id_3674175887\">Miniso Group (MNSO)</h2><p><strong>Miniso Group</strong> (NASDAQ: <strong><u>MNSO</u></strong>) stock had a rather sharp sell-off from recent highs of $29.9 to current levels of $19.9. This undervalued stock has a forward P/E ratio of 18.1, making it promising to buy.</p><p>In addition, the dividend yield of MNSO stock stands at an appealing 2%. Previous peaks for MNSO stock imply a potential 50% upside. There is a high probability of this occurring within the next 12 months.</p><p>For Q1 2024, Miniso reported healthy revenue growth of 36.7% on a year-on-year basis to $519.6 million. For the same period, the company’s adjusted EBITDA increased by 52.8% to $139 million. EBITDA margin expansion has been a big positive in the last few quarters.</p><p>It’s worth noting that Miniso continues to open new stores globally. As of September 2023, the company reported 6,115 stores, which was higher by 819 on a year-on-year basis. This is another factor that’s likely to support revenue growth besides an increase in average ticket size. With the initiation of dividends this year and share repurchase, there seems to be ample scope for value creation.</p><h2 id=\"id_3894725933\">Albemarle Corporation (ALB)</h2><p>I had maintained my view in the recent past that <strong>Albemarle Corporation</strong> (NYSE: <strong><u>ALB</u></strong>) stock is deeply oversold. The stock has witnessed a sharp rally of 16% in the last one month.</p><p>I expect the bullish momentum to sustain next year. ALB stock continues to trade at an attractive forward price-earnings ratio of 6.8, even after recent gains. ALB stock also offers a dividend yield of 1%.</p><p>During the year, the downside in ALB stock was driven by lower lithium prices. While the company still expects 30% to 35% sales growth, significant EBITDA margin contraction is on the cards. However, this factor is discounted in the stock.</p><p>Going forward, I expect lithium prices to stabilize and trend higher. Albemarle has ambitious lithium conversion capacity expansion plans. This will translate into healthy revenue growth and cash flow upside. Considering the company’s strong balance sheet, I expect potential acquisitions to support growth.</p><h2 id=\"id_2687186213\">Panasonic Holdings (PCRFY)</h2><p><strong>Panasonic Holdings</strong> (OTCMKTS: <strong><u>PCRFY</u></strong>) is among the nest stocks to buy now considering the valuations. PCRFY stock has remained almost sideways in the last 12 months and trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of 7.8.</p><p>Further, the stock offers an attractive dividend yield of 2.36%. It would not surprise me if it produced 30% to 50% total returns in the next 12 months.</p><p>The electric vehicle battery maker has ambitious growth plans through 2031. During this period, the company plans to quadruple EV battery capacity to 200GWh. This is one reason to be bullish on the stock. Revenue growth is likely to be healthy in the coming years.</p><p>By 2029, Panasonic is also targeting to produce solid-state batteries for drones. Of course, these are long term targets, but will have an impact on valuations. Further, being an innovator, I expect Panasonic to remain ahead of the curve even amidst competition.</p><h2 id=\"id_3834473304\">Chevron Corporation (CVX)</h2><p><strong>Chevron Corporation</strong> (NYSE: <strong><u>CVX</u></strong>) is my top oil and gas pick with the stock having declined by 10% in the last 12 months.</p><p>An investment grade balance sheet with robust cash flows is a major reason to like Chevron. To put things into perspective, Chevron reported operating cash flow of $9.7 billion for Q3 2023. With the recent acquisition of <strong>Hess Corporation</strong> (NYSE: <strong><u>HES</u></strong>), cash flows will swell further.</p><p>It’s not surprising that Chevron is targeting annual capital expenditure of $19 to $22 billion after they complete the acquisition. This will ensure that reserve replacement remains robust and the company continues to invest in the renewable energy segment.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace_stock_picks","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>7 Stocks You’ll Regret Not Buying Soon</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\">\n7 Stocks You’ll Regret Not Buying Soon\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-12-22 23:29 GMT+8 <a href=https://investorplace.com/2023/12/7-stocks-youll-regret-not-buying-soon-december-edition/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>There’s plenty of reason to look for stocks to buy before we enter 2024.

In absolute terms, the stock has only become more expensive (obviously), which means the possible downside has only become greater, arguably more so than the upside going forward, even despite the valuation at first sight not being excessive.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">One cannot predict how much demand Nvidia will see in the future for its chips. While, sure, the explosion of demand due to GAI has accelerated what was already a multiyear uptrend, investors do have to weigh the growth of AI (on one hand) against the competitive dynamics of a player with very high market share and pricing, which it has the risk of losing (on the other hand).</p><h2 id=\"id_820570108\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Background</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">To be sure, the thesis here isn't that Nvidia is necessarily overvalued or in a bubble. Given the explosion in sales and profits, since that is of course what the stock price reflects (with a certain multiple of sales and/or profits), it has indeed pretty much grown in line with these results. So already in previous coverage of the stock, I had conceded to being wrong about Nvidia: Nvidia: All Bets Are Off.</p><h2 id=\"id_3286423564\" style=\"text-align: left;\">History and Competitive Landscape</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">A while ago, Intel (INTC) CEO Pat Gelsinger said that, while he acknowledged Nvidia's success in this market, it was nevertheless the result of luck. To recap, AI is a highly parallelizable workload. As such, when it started gaining prevalence (since 2012), it was found to run faster on GPUs (originally created for gaming where many pixels need to be rendered simultaneously) than on the more general-purpose CPU. That's why Nvidia mostly benefited from the rise of AI rather than Intel.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">It wasn't until 2017, however, that Nvidia introduced the first deep learning-specific acceleration into its GPUs with its Tensor Cores. By that time, Intel too had already introduced the VNNI instruction into its Xeon Phi line-up (which was its many-core CPU at the time that competed against Nvidia in HPC) and had also acquired Nervana in 2016, the predecessor to its 2019 Habana acquisition that it currently positions as its competitive solution to Nvidia.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In that regard, my own view would be that it has been a combination of luck and skill. While Nvidia clearly has strongly executed on its roadmap, Intel on the other hand stumbled (both with its own 10nm process, which caused the delay and reduced the competitiveness of practically all of its products, as well as by axing all Nervana development in favor of restarting with Habana) right as the demand for AI (hardware) first started meaningfully increasing around 2017.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Besides Intel and AMD (AMD), which like Intel has also been late to launch a competitive product, there had also been a boom in AI chip start-ups. None of those has been very successful either. Lastly, many bigger companies also started developing their own chips with more mixed results, such as the Google (GOOG) TPU and Amazon (AMZN) Trainium and Inferentia.</p><h2 id=\"id_3218883224\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Implications</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Nvidia's position in the AI market seems reminiscent of Intel in the data center up to about half a decade ago. Intel had the market completely for itself, as AMD was still in the midst of developing Epyc and getting some initial adoption. While this resulted in some criticism as Intel rolled out its highest-specced Xeons for $10k or even more at the time, arguably those dwarf in comparison to the pricing of Nvidia's latest H100 (and upcoming H200) series, which during this time of shortages has ballooned to tens of thousands of dollars (and probably was never less than $20k or so, to begin with). For comparison, TSMC (TSM) charges less than $20k for a N5-class wafer, which contains on the order of 70 chips.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In my view, this means that Nvidia is leaving the market wide open for competition to enter with competitive (similarly performing) products at a potentially substantially reduced price. This is starting to happen from both AMD and Intel. Although many bulls have argued that Nvidia has a moat with its CUDA software, as Pat Gelsinger has said this is a shallow moat at best as software development mostly occurs in higher-level languages such as Python.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Since for any rational business there is no fundamental reason to buy an Nvidia chip over a similarly performing (but much cheaper) Intel or AMD chip, this means that traditional competitive market dynamics at some point should kick in. This will most likely result in <em>both</em> market share and pricing power loss for Nvidia.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">From that view, investors should ask themselves if they would rather invest in a ~$200B or ~$1.35T company. Note that <em>both</em> companies, so also the smaller one, have more than enough resources to develop an AI chip. And since the power and performance characteristics of these chips are largely determined/limited by process technology, the resulting chips should indeed be quite similar (except for price). That is exactly what it seen in the market. In fact, since Intel's Gaudi series lacks traditional GPU functionality, the Gaudi chips are actually noticeably superior to their Nvidia competitor on the same process technology (see MLPerf).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">To use some concrete math, if Nvidia would lose half of its market share and had to reduce prices by half, then its revenue would drop by 75%. Note that Nvidia's margin is so high that reducing the price by 2x is still a very conservative scenario. If one treats these chips as commodities such as in the memory (DRAM/NAND) space (which arguably isn't all that far-fetched), then Nvidia's prices would literally have to drop by on the order of 10x. (Note that this estimate has been obtained by only considering the cost of the silicon chip, any other components such as the HBM memory and CoWoS packaging are neglected.)</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Ultimately, this is the kind of risk, which is far from unrealistic, that investors at least must consider, and then weigh this compared to any possible further upside that has <em>not</em> yet been baked into the stock price. Since being valued as a growth stock means there is already some considerable further increase in demand baked into the price, demand would have to surpass even these levels for the share price to increase anything <em>at all</em>.</p><h2 id=\"id_2288305640\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Additional Considerations</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As stated, it is not possible to predict the future demand for AI hardware. Even if the risk thesis as described so far exactly plays out, there is still the possibility that the market might grow faster and/or become larger than any theoretical loss in revenue from lower prices and market share, as, for example, AMD has predicted at its event late last year. Also, similar to Intel, inertia would already go a long way towards preventing too sudden market share shifts.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">So, to recap some possible drivers of demand for investors to consider for themselves. One is the difference between training and inference. Training a model must be done only once, so the demand for training hardware likely has a quite finite limit. Nevertheless, the training workload is such that it could quite literally use an <em>unlimited</em> amount of computing power, since training the largest models on enormous amounts of data could take many months, and even then it would still be possible to further increase the amount of data and/or parameters.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Hence, this likely has some implications with regard to price elasticity. For example, instead of companies buying a certain number of chips, instead, they might have a certain budget in dollars, and they might just buy as much chips as they can within that budget. So, if Nvidia would reduce the price by 2x, they might just buy 2x more GPUs.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Note, though, that in this case, since even the largest clouds and big tech companies only have a finite budget, there should indeed be some upper limit on demand, and investors would have to answer why, besides the shortages, this limit would not have been reached yet in the wake of the ChatGPT hype, with Nvidia's run rate approaching $80B (which in terms of the total cost of a data center only represents spending on GPUs and networking), and instead would continue to grow considerably for years to come.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">On the other hand, and perhaps this is the answer to the previous question, while inference (using the trained model) is generally considered to be the main AI application in the long-term, it nevertheless has somewhat different compute requirements, as the computation cost of a single inference is generally much lower. Instead of training a model for months, in inference one requires results in seconds or milliseconds.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">This in turn means that it could be more suitable for other chips than GPUs, such as CPUs with on-chip accelerators. Intel has such hardware with its latest Xeon and Core Ultra server and client/edge CPUs. Indeed, inference in some/many cases/applications could simply happen on-device instead of on an expensive Nvidia GPU in the cloud.</p><h2 id=\"id_251675249\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Financial Discussion</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As a reminder, the Nvidia rally started due to the guidance for $11B revenue in the (calendar) Q2 2023 quarter, up from around $7B. Since then, the revenue has surged to over $18B in the most recently reported quarter, with guidance for $20B in Q4, implying a tripling in revenue in just a few quarters. Given its extremely high margins, EPS has similarly surged from ~$1 to ~$4 (which has allowed the stock to quadruple without changing the valuation multiple).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The fact that basically all this (additional) revenue and profit is generated in/from the data center also shows both the data center revenue TAM expansion as well as the increase in revenue market share, as just a few years ago basically the vast majority of the data center silicon logic market was captured by Intel.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The forward estimate is for over $90B in revenue in 2024. While this is very large in dollar terms, unlike anything even Intel reported when it still had a CPU monopoly (Intel's highest was on the order of $30B data center revenue, which included its telco networking business), in terms of units this would correspond to roughly 2 million H100/H200s at a price of $40k per unit. This is an ASP (average selling price) that is on the order of 40x larger than either AMD or Intel. This means Intel will actually still sell a lot more silicon into the data center (millions of Xeons each quarter), just at a much lower price.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">While bulls may see this disparity in ASP between both as Nvidia's crowning achievement, for more sceptical investors this should present one large red flag. As a monopolist, Nvidia enjoys an absolute pricing power, which has resulted in prices very far from having any relation to the actual cost of goods sold of the hardware. As mentioned, Nvidia could likely drop its prices by 10x and still end up with margins in line or above the industry. Clearly, selling 2 million H100/H200s at $4k per unit would provide a very different financial picture. Although, as also discussed there could be some price elasticity considerations in that case, as Nvidia would then probably sell a lot more of those $4k chips.</p><h2 id=\"id_1643248076\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Valuation</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The valuation is a $1.35T market cap. Based on Q4 guidance of $20B revenue and analyst expectation of $4.5 EPS, this represents a valuation of 17x P/S and 30x P/E. This is not excessively expensive given the supposed further growth through 2024, catching up from the shortages.

In absolute terms, the stock has only become more expensive (obviously), which means the possible downside has only become greater, arguably more so than the upside going forward, even despite the valuation at first sight not being excessive.One cannot predict how much demand Nvidia will see in the future for its chips. While, sure, the explosion of demand due to GAI has accelerated what was already a multiyear uptrend, investors do have to weigh the growth of AI (on one hand) against the competitive dynamics of a player with very high market share and pricing, which it has the risk of losing (on the other hand).BackgroundTo be sure, the thesis here isn't that Nvidia is necessarily overvalued or in a bubble. Given the explosion in sales and profits, since that is of course what the stock price reflects (with a certain multiple of sales and/or profits), it has indeed pretty much grown in line with these results. So already in previous coverage of the stock, I had conceded to being wrong about Nvidia: Nvidia: All Bets Are Off.History and Competitive LandscapeA while ago, Intel (INTC) CEO Pat Gelsinger said that, while he acknowledged Nvidia's success in this market, it was nevertheless the result of luck. To recap, AI is a highly parallelizable workload. As such, when it started gaining prevalence (since 2012), it was found to run faster on GPUs (originally created for gaming where many pixels need to be rendered simultaneously) than on the more general-purpose CPU. That's why Nvidia mostly benefited from the rise of AI rather than Intel.It wasn't until 2017, however, that Nvidia introduced the first deep learning-specific acceleration into its GPUs with its Tensor Cores. By that time, Intel too had already introduced the VNNI instruction into its Xeon Phi line-up (which was its many-core CPU at the time that competed against Nvidia in HPC) and had also acquired Nervana in 2016, the predecessor to its 2019 Habana acquisition that it currently positions as its competitive solution to Nvidia.In that regard, my own view would be that it has been a combination of luck and skill. While Nvidia clearly has strongly executed on its roadmap, Intel on the other hand stumbled (both with its own 10nm process, which caused the delay and reduced the competitiveness of practically all of its products, as well as by axing all Nervana development in favor of restarting with Habana) right as the demand for AI (hardware) first started meaningfully increasing around 2017.Besides Intel and AMD (AMD), which like Intel has also been late to launch a competitive product, there had also been a boom in AI chip start-ups. None of those has been very successful either. Lastly, many bigger companies also started developing their own chips with more mixed results, such as the Google (GOOG) TPU and Amazon (AMZN) Trainium and Inferentia.ImplicationsNvidia's position in the AI market seems reminiscent of Intel in the data center up to about half a decade ago. Intel had the market completely for itself, as AMD was still in the midst of developing Epyc and getting some initial adoption. While this resulted in some criticism as Intel rolled out its highest-specced Xeons for $10k or even more at the time, arguably those dwarf in comparison to the pricing of Nvidia's latest H100 (and upcoming H200) series, which during this time of shortages has ballooned to tens of thousands of dollars (and probably was never less than $20k or so, to begin with). For comparison, TSMC (TSM) charges less than $20k for a N5-class wafer, which contains on the order of 70 chips.In my view, this means that Nvidia is leaving the market wide open for competition to enter with competitive (similarly performing) products at a potentially substantially reduced price. This is starting to happen from both AMD and Intel. Although many bulls have argued that Nvidia has a moat with its CUDA software, as Pat Gelsinger has said this is a shallow moat at best as software development mostly occurs in higher-level languages such as Python.Since for any rational business there is no fundamental reason to buy an Nvidia chip over a similarly performing (but much cheaper) Intel or AMD chip, this means that traditional competitive market dynamics at some point should kick in. This will most likely result in both market share and pricing power loss for Nvidia.From that view, investors should ask themselves if they would rather invest in a ~$200B or ~$1.35T company. Note that both companies, so also the smaller one, have more than enough resources to develop an AI chip. And since the power and performance characteristics of these chips are largely determined/limited by process technology, the resulting chips should indeed be quite similar (except for price). That is exactly what it seen in the market. In fact, since Intel's Gaudi series lacks traditional GPU functionality, the Gaudi chips are actually noticeably superior to their Nvidia competitor on the same process technology (see MLPerf).To use some concrete math, if Nvidia would lose half of its market share and had to reduce prices by half, then its revenue would drop by 75%. Note that Nvidia's margin is so high that reducing the price by 2x is still a very conservative scenario. If one treats these chips as commodities such as in the memory (DRAM/NAND) space (which arguably isn't all that far-fetched), then Nvidia's prices would literally have to drop by on the order of 10x. (Note that this estimate has been obtained by only considering the cost of the silicon chip, any other components such as the HBM memory and CoWoS packaging are neglected.)Ultimately, this is the kind of risk, which is far from unrealistic, that investors at least must consider, and then weigh this compared to any possible further upside that has not yet been baked into the stock price. Since being valued as a growth stock means there is already some considerable further increase in demand baked into the price, demand would have to surpass even these levels for the share price to increase anything at all.Additional ConsiderationsAs stated, it is not possible to predict the future demand for AI hardware. Even if the risk thesis as described so far exactly plays out, there is still the possibility that the market might grow faster and/or become larger than any theoretical loss in revenue from lower prices and market share, as, for example, AMD has predicted at its event late last year. Also, similar to Intel, inertia would already go a long way towards preventing too sudden market share shifts.So, to recap some possible drivers of demand for investors to consider for themselves. One is the difference between training and inference. Training a model must be done only once, so the demand for training hardware likely has a quite finite limit. Nevertheless, the training workload is such that it could quite literally use an unlimited amount of computing power, since training the largest models on enormous amounts of data could take many months, and even then it would still be possible to further increase the amount of data and/or parameters.Hence, this likely has some implications with regard to price elasticity. For example, instead of companies buying a certain number of chips, instead, they might have a certain budget in dollars, and they might just buy as much chips as they can within that budget. So, if Nvidia would reduce the price by 2x, they might just buy 2x more GPUs.Note, though, that in this case, since even the largest clouds and big tech companies only have a finite budget, there should indeed be some upper limit on demand, and investors would have to answer why, besides the shortages, this limit would not have been reached yet in the wake of the ChatGPT hype, with Nvidia's run rate approaching $80B (which in terms of the total cost of a data center only represents spending on GPUs and networking), and instead would continue to grow considerably for years to come.On the other hand, and perhaps this is the answer to the previous question, while inference (using the trained model) is generally considered to be the main AI application in the long-term, it nevertheless has somewhat different compute requirements, as the computation cost of a single inference is generally much lower. Instead of training a model for months, in inference one requires results in seconds or milliseconds.This in turn means that it could be more suitable for other chips than GPUs, such as CPUs with on-chip accelerators. Intel has such hardware with its latest Xeon and Core Ultra server and client/edge CPUs. Indeed, inference in some/many cases/applications could simply happen on-device instead of on an expensive Nvidia GPU in the cloud.Financial DiscussionAs a reminder, the Nvidia rally started due to the guidance for $11B revenue in the (calendar) Q2 2023 quarter, up from around $7B. Since then, the revenue has surged to over $18B in the most recently reported quarter, with guidance for $20B in Q4, implying a tripling in revenue in just a few quarters. Given its extremely high margins, EPS has similarly surged from ~$1 to ~$4 (which has allowed the stock to quadruple without changing the valuation multiple).The fact that basically all this (additional) revenue and profit is generated in/from the data center also shows both the data center revenue TAM expansion as well as the increase in revenue market share, as just a few years ago basically the vast majority of the data center silicon logic market was captured by Intel.The forward estimate is for over $90B in revenue in 2024. While this is very large in dollar terms, unlike anything even Intel reported when it still had a CPU monopoly (Intel's highest was on the order of $30B data center revenue, which included its telco networking business), in terms of units this would correspond to roughly 2 million H100/H200s at a price of $40k per unit. This is an ASP (average selling price) that is on the order of 40x larger than either AMD or Intel. This means Intel will actually still sell a lot more silicon into the data center (millions of Xeons each quarter), just at a much lower price.While bulls may see this disparity in ASP between both as Nvidia's crowning achievement, for more sceptical investors this should present one large red flag. As a monopolist, Nvidia enjoys an absolute pricing power, which has resulted in prices very far from having any relation to the actual cost of goods sold of the hardware. As mentioned, Nvidia could likely drop its prices by 10x and still end up with margins in line or above the industry. Clearly, selling 2 million H100/H200s at $4k per unit would provide a very different financial picture. Although, as also discussed there could be some price elasticity considerations in that case, as Nvidia would then probably sell a lot more of those $4k chips.ValuationThe valuation is a $1.35T market cap. Based on Q4 guidance of $20B revenue and analyst expectation of $4.5 EPS, this represents a valuation of 17x P/S and 30x P/E. This is not excessively expensive given the supposed further growth through 2024, catching up from the shortages. While 17x P/S normally should be considered expensive, the fact that EPS is only a 30x multiple again shows its extremely high margins.In the picture of the overall thesis, the main point here hasn't been that the stock is overvalued, it is rather the risk that Nvidia is currently capitalizing as basically the only scaled supplier of chips powering the LLM/AI explosion. So as more suppliers (read: Intel and AMD) ramp their competitive products, more healthy market dynamics should kick in, forcing prices downwards and reducing Nvidia's market share. Both (for now hypothetical) trends would drastically reduce revenue and earnings going forward. It is only then that the stock would become expensive.So even if demand for these AI chips/workloads increases further in the years ahead, in principle confirming the thesis that AI is and remains a growth opportunity, this potential scenario could nevertheless mean that Nvidia's revenue might be near an all-time/long-term high. This is similar to what has been discussed in the All-In podcast.In essence, the question is how to bring Nvidia's monopolistic position into the valuation, with some of the scenarios ranging from maintaining market share and pricing power (which given the billions of dollars Nvidia's current customers could potentially save by switching suppliers seems very unlikely), to seeing a dramatic decline in both, so something in between.RisksBesides the risks (for both bull and bear cases) already discussed, given that Nvidia has been in supply constraint, at least some of the future growth is already pretty much locked in. Nevertheless, this still does not rule out the possibility of a correction in demand later.Secondly, one of the main arguments is that Nvidia does not have a moat since/and chips for AI are basically commodities. While this might be the case to approximation, factors such as inertia could still prevent quick market share swings.Why Would Chips Be Commodities?In extension of the previous risk section, a major part of this thesis hinges on the statement that AI chips should to at least some extent be considered commodities, where healthy competition between multiple vendors is possible, which obviously has major implications on the possible margins that can be obtained in this market.This might be a bit of a more controversial statement, since after all chip design often takes many years and millions up to hundreds of millions of dollars. In addition, aspects should as programmability also require a development burden.

To do it again, it will rely on the exploding demand for its cutting-edge processors.Before you know it, these three companies might surpass Berkshire Hathaway.Berkshire Hathaway is an enormous company. With a market capitalization topping $717 billion, Berkshire Hathaway ranks fifth on the list of largest American companies by market cap.And while Berkshire has been a staple of the top 10 dating back to 2009, many companies have overtaken Berkshire during the last 14 years.Let's have a look at three companies I think are poised to surpass Berkshire over the next seven years: Tesla , Moderna , and Nvidia .1. TeslaFirst things first: Tesla has surpassed Berkshire Hathaway's market cap once before. Between 2020 and 2022, Tesla's market cap exceeded Berkshire's. However, at the moment, Berkshire is worth roughly $200 billion more than Tesla.Yet, I think Tesla can stage a comeback. The company is ramping up production and slashing prices, all part of its effort to become the world's largest automaker. Analysts expect Tesla to produce around 1.8 million vehicles in 2023 and 2.35 million in 2024. If that happens, Tesla could crack the top 10 in global auto sales by 2024. What's more, Tesla has several exciting new models and features on the horizon. The first Tesla Semis rolled off the line in late 2022, and production of the Cybertruck is set to start in the coming months. Similarly, some analysts think Tesla's autonomous driving technology could be a game changer, leading to a thriving robotaxi business.At any rate, I believe Tesla has enough gas in the tank to easily make up the gap on Berkshire and surpass it by 2030.2. ModernaFor my second pick, I'm swinging for the fences with a long shot to surpass Berkshire Hathaway. Moderna is a biotech company that most people know for its COVID-19 vaccine. However, the company's messenger RNA therapeutics and vaccines can potentially be used to treat other diseases. In fact, Moderna's chief medical officer, Dr. Paul Burton, recently noted that the company aims to produce vaccines targeting cancer, heart disease, and other serious diseases by 2030. If that prediction comes true, expect Moderna shares to skyrocket.And Moderna shares will need to skyrocket if the company's market cap is going to exceed Berkshire Hathaway's. Today, Moderna has a market cap of $52.8 billion, ranking No. 304 among American companies. To catch Berkshire, Moderna would need to grow 14 times. That's a big ask, but effective treatments for life-threatening diseases like cancer and heart disease would be a game changer, not just for the company -- but for the world.However, at present, those treatments remain out of reach, meaning Moderna will have to rely on other products to drive its revenue and earnings. Financially, the company remains healthy, with $18.9 billion in revenue and $9.4 billion in operating income over the last 12 months. Yet, with sales of its COVID vaccine waning, analysts expect revenue to decline by 60% in 2023 and a further 15% in 2024. Needless to say, owning Moderna isn't for everyone. Like a power hitter at the plate, Moderna is swinging for the fences. Sometimes those hitters blast it out of the park; other times, they strike out.3. NvidiaMy final pick is another company that also surpassed Berkshire Hathaway's market cap in the not-so-distant past: Nvidia.The maker of advanced graphics and mobile processors sported a market cap of more than $800 billion as recently as 2021. And, as of this writing, Nvidia's $658 billion market cap trails Berkshire by \"only\" $59 billion. How could Nvidia get over the hump? The growing importance of artificial intelligence (AI) is likely to do it. Nvidia's processors are sought out for use in the supercomputers behind much of the world's cutting-edge AI. Moreover, Nvidia's automotive unit boasts impressive momentum, bolstered by automakers keen to perfect reliable autonomous driving.Yet, if Nvidia has an Achilles' heel, it's the company's rich valuation. With a price-to-earnings multiple above 150, investors must pay up for Nvidia's future growth. However, there's simply too much to like about Nvidia's growth prospects to ignore.

Nearly three million contracts now change hands on an average day, up from 1.5 million a year ago and more than any other stock. Only wagers on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF outpace those on Tesla.On Friday, traders cashed out of bets that Tesla shares would breach $175 by the end of the day, taking advantage of a burgeoning trend of using ultrashort-dated options to turbocharge wagers.Tesla options trading surpassed volumes tied to the Invesco QQQ exchange-traded fund -- which tracks Nasdaq-100 stocks -- in December for the first time in nearly two years. And it edged out trading in Apple Inc. options on a sustained basis in July, a notable feat for the S&P 500's now sixth-largest company by market cap to leapfrog the leader.Many of the biggest longstanding bets on Tesla are lottery-ticket trades requiring statistically improbable moves to pay out. For instance, the largest stake is for Tesla shares to hit $825 per share within 12 months, double their previous record high of $409.97. That would require a more than fourfold surge from Friday's close of $177.90.Traders buying those contracts are \"almost evangelical in their belief in Tesla, its technology, and to a certain extent, Elon Musk,\" said Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers Group Inc. \"Tesla is unique -- it attracts so many speculators because of its cultlike following.\"Once valued at more than $1.2 trillion, Tesla shares have cratered 61% from their peak in late 2021 before the Federal Reserve began raising interest rates. Growing competition from other auto makers, Mr. Musk's split-brained focus on Twitter Inc., and waning Chinese demand have shaken confidence. Mr. Musk's sale of tens of billions of dollars of shares hasn't helped, either.Tesla has become one of the most polarizing stocks on Wall Street, attracting equal numbers of enthusiastic supporters and outspoken critics. Both sides have turned to derivatives in droves to express their views: Bulls who say the company is a game-changer are betting on extreme upside scenarios, while bears who say the stock is wildly overvalued bet that the share price will plunge.\"Tesla is perpetually the most active single-stock option at our firm,\" said Mr. Sosnick.Traders have shelled out nearly $700 billion on options tied to Tesla since the start of 2022, more than any other stock or exchange-traded fund. Only index-level bets on the S&P 500 received more cash.Bullish call options give traders the right, though not the obligation, to buy shares at a stated price by a certain date, while bearish put options grant the right to sell. The options market as a whole has boomed in recent years. Trading activity set another record last year, with more than 41 million contracts changing hands on an average day.Of course, fervor tied to Tesla isn't limited to options. Although individual investors have largely lost their appetite for buying the dip in tech stocks, they continue to scoop up Tesla shares. Although still down sharply from its high, the stock has rallied 44% in January.The propensity to bet wildly on Tesla accelerated amid the company's fourth-quarter earnings report, which was posted after Wednesday's closing bell.Options traders predicted a nearly 13% swing -- higher or lower -- in the shares in the session following the report. Although that would have marked their biggest one-day move in more than a year, similar swings have become common after Tesla's results.The stock rose 24% over Thursday and Friday -- the S&P 500's best performer both days -- after posting record profits, sending the stock to its best week since 2013. Even after that bump, the most ambitious options bettors remain far from being able to cash in.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":69,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":266128740896872,"gmtCreate":1705993270451,"gmtModify":1705993274619,"author":{"id":"3577182936341023","authorId":"3577182936341023","name":"MIe","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Market upside ","listText":"Market upside ","text":"Market upside","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/266128740896872","repostId":"2405139740","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2405139740","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1705992302,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2405139740?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2024-01-23 14:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Expect U.S. Stocks to Tack on Another 5% Before the Next Pullback, Veteran Wall Street Strategist Says","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2405139740","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"This is what the historical data suggest, according to CFRA’s Sam StovallU.S. stocks are likely heading higher before they break lower once again, according to one Wall Street strategist.One longtime ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>This is what the historical data suggest, according to CFRA’s Sam Stovall</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3a5c1556644e13242dc5fad4721fdc4c\" alt=\"U.S. stocks are likely heading higher before they break lower once again, according to one Wall Street strategist.\" title=\"U.S. stocks are likely heading higher before they break lower once again, according to one Wall Street strategist.\" tg-width=\"1059\" tg-height=\"760\"/><span>U.S. stocks are likely heading higher before they break lower once again, according to one Wall Street strategist.</span></p><p>One longtime Wall Street strategist believes the S&P 500 still has some gas left in the tank, which could propel the index as much as 5% higher in the coming months.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Following the S&P 500’s first record close in two years, Sam Stovall, chief investment officer at CFRA, crunched the numbers and found that once the S&P 500 has erased all of its bear-market losses, the index typically tacks on an additional “post-high five” — that is, a post-high rally of 5%, or slightly more.</p><p>“If history is any guide, for it’s never gospel, investors should prepare for a ‘post-high five,’ or a possible advance of 5% before pausing to digest recent gains,” Stovall said.</p><p>Stovall based his analysis on how markets have behaved following the 14 bear markets that have occurred, by his count, since the end of World War II.

The blue-chip gauge closed at 38,001.81, according to FactSet data.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":78,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":261941609689160,"gmtCreate":1704985533677,"gmtModify":1704985537714,"author":{"id":"3577182936341023","authorId":"3577182936341023","name":"MIe","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"11 btc etf push btc higher n add boost to market upside for Jan good bull start ","listText":"11 btc etf push btc higher n add boost to market upside for Jan good bull start ","text":"11 btc etf push btc higher n add boost to market upside for Jan good bull start","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/261941609689160","repostId":"1117813204","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117813204","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1704985189,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1117813204?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2024-01-11 22:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bitcoin Rallies to $49,000 after SEC Greenlights Launch of U.S. Bitcoin ETFs","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117813204","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Bitcoin traded higher Thursday after the Securities and Exchange Commission gave the green light for the first-ever spot bitcoin ETFs to trade in the U.S., as expected.The cryptocurrency was last up m","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Bitcoin traded higher Thursday after the Securities and Exchange Commission gave the green light for the first-ever spot bitcoin ETFs to trade in the U.S., as expected.</p><p>Spot Bitcoin ETFs gained in first day morning trading.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f594df59a781c8e59efddf4844d2310\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"260\" tg-height=\"443\"/></p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The cryptocurrency was last up more than 6.5% at $48,993.49, according to Coin Metrics.

That wouldn't be a big jump, but it would see the year-over-year headline figure tick up to 3.3%, from 3.1% in November, and halt some of the recent progress on inflation. The year-over-year core rate, however, could still slow to 3.8% from 4%.</p><p>The inflation readings and other events in the week ahead will also offer a window into the strength of the American consumer and the prospects of a "soft landing" for the economy. That's central to the "Goldilocks" backdrop that helped a fuel run of nine straight weekly gains for the stock market, which came to an end as the calendar flipped to 2024.</p><p>"Looking at the week ahead, the strength of the consumer is a top priority as we receive critical economic information on the subject, particularly on CPI, PPI, banks and consumer credit," said Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide, in a Monday note. "This should help us better understand the market and earnings outlook for Q1."</p><p>Earnings season sees its unofficial kickoff Friday with results from JPMorgan Chase & Co. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JPM\">$(JPM)$</a> and Delta Air Lines <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DAL\">$(DAL)$</a>, followed next week with a raft of big Wall Street banks.</p><p>As MarketWatch's Bill Peters reported, many analysts expect companies to use their fourth-quarter results as an opportunity to sound a cautious note on the year ahead.</p><p>"Bottom-up estimates for the S&P 500's year-over-year earnings growth rate in Q4 have fallen from 9.2% at the end of September to 0.9% as it stands now. Such a lower bar makes earnings surprises easier to come by but perhaps less impressive or meaningful to investors," said strategists at Glenmede in a note.</p><p>Last year's stock-market rally, which saw the S&P 500 SPX jump more than 24% to come within a whisker of its record close from January 2022, was led by mega-cap tech stocks, with gains enhanced by a bout of euphoria over the prospects for artificial intelligence. Chip maker Nvidia Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">$(NVDA)$</a> soared nearly 240% in 2023 as it led the so-called "Magnificient Seven" of mega-cap tech cohorts set to benefit most from an AI revolution.</p><p>The AI revolution also puts the Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, which gets under way in Las Vegas on Tuesday, further in the spotlight.</p><p>Once an amusing event focused on unveiling the latest gadgets, the trade show is now seen as a representation of how tech has seeped into every corner of modern life, said Nicholas Colas, founder of DataTrek Research, in a Monday note.</p><p>"The important themes at CES 2024 will be artificial intelligence, mobility, and healthcare. How companies are incorporating AI into new products will be especially important for investor sentiment towards tech stocks," he wrote.</p><p>And don't forget about crypto. After a stellar 2023 run that saw bitcoin (BTCUSD) shake off the criminal conviction of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, as well as the $4.3 billion fine and plea deal involving Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, co-founder of the world's largest crypto exchange Binance, all eyes are on the Securities and Exchange Commission this week.</p><p>The agency must decide by Wednesday on whether to approve applications for a spot-bitcoin ETF - an approval that is widely expected.</p><p>"For the uninitiated, trillions of dollars in institutional and retirement assets can only invest in regulated financial assets, a situation that has hampered the adoption of bitcoin as an investible asset in the world's richest economy," said Matthew Weller, global head of research at Forex.com and City Index, in a note.</p><p>"Crucially, unlike past high-profile, derivative-based bitcoin product launches, like futures contracts or futures-based ETFs, spot ETFs will be required to buy and hold underlying bitcoin equal to their underlying assets, fundamentally altering bitcoin's supply-demand balance," Weller wrote.</p><p>So no surprise that there's intense interest around the decision as bitcoin trades just above $47,000 - up more than 12% in the new year and nearly 180% over the last 12 months, but still some way below its all-time high above $65,000 in November 2021.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Amazon's comeback this year proves it's one of the most reliable investments over the long term</h2><p>In 2022, Amazon's two e-commerce segments posted operating losses totaling $10.6 billion. The company managed to stay profitable thanks to its highly lucrative cloud business, Amazon Web Services (AWS). However, the steep declines made investors question whether Amazon's business would fully recover and if those vulnerabilities made it a risky investment.</p><p>The tech giant reacted quickly to poor macro conditions by introducing cost-cutting measures. Throughout 2022, it closed or canceled construction on dozens of warehouses, wound down unprofitable projects like Amazon Care, and laid off thousands of workers. The company has continued to prioritize profits this year, cutting thousands more jobs as recently as November, specifically in its music streaming, gaming, and Alexa divisions.</p><p>Amazon's restructuring has clearly paid off. In the third quarter of 2023, the company posted revenue growth of 13% year over year, beating analysts' expectations by $1.5 billion. Meanwhile, operating income from its North American segment exceeded $4 billion, a marked improvement from the $412 million in losses it reported in the prior-year period.</p><p>Amazon's leadership proved its strength by quickly getting the company back on track after a challenging 2022. This year's stock price recovery illustrates why it's crucial for investors to take a long-term view and keep holding onto the shares of companies they believe in during market downturns. Those who sold Amazon's stock as it fell last year to cut their losses will not have benefited from its rebounding share price in 2023.</p><p>The company's solid management team has shown it can successfully navigate temporary headwinds, making its stock one you can confidently invest in over the long term.</p><h2 id=\"id_3694822023\">2. Big gains projected over the next two years</h2><p>E-commerce sales made up about 19% of all retail purchases worldwide in 2022, and that share is projected to hit 23% by 2027. Amazon dominates the industry in multiple countries. In the U.S. alone, it holds a 38% market share in online retail. In comparison, <strong>Walmart</strong>, which holds the second-largest share, is responsible for just 6%.</p><p>Amazon has significant earnings potential in the sector as consumers increasingly choose its site over brick-and-mortar stores.</p><p>Additionally, the company is making promising headway in AI through AWS. Grand View Research forecasts that the AI market will expand at a compound annual rate of 37% through 2030. Amazon is using AWS' leading market share in cloud computing to carve out a lucrative role in the industry.</p><p>This year, AWS has introduced a diverse range of new AI tools as it works to meet the growing demand for such services, and it also announced a venture into chip development.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aa9bcf0511a8c095627c20bde3d95d1b\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"483\"/></p><p>Data by YCharts.</p><p>Amazon is dominating two rapidly expanding markets, and its stock price is likely to reflect that growth well into the future.

From 2019 through the second quarter, Tesla has generated almost $18 billion in free cash flow.</p><p>"Tesla's cash balance [has not increased] much over the last six months even though its manufacturing footprint continues to grow," adds Colas. "The company would market this cash raise as a competitive weapon, allowing Tesla to continue to grow its EV presence around the world regardless of economic conditions or competitive developments."</p><p>It could help boost valuation, adds the strategist. However, if Tesla raises more than $15 billion, investors might become more worried about dilution from more shares outstanding.</p><p>Tesla sold roughly 1.3 million cars in 2022 and is expected to deliver about 1.8 million in 2023, and 2.3 million in 2024. That's substantial growth, but Tesla plans to launch more models to defend its EV turf including the Cybertruck pickup in 2023 and a smaller, lower-priced EV.</p><p>It might not need cash to do all that. "Tesla is not capital-constrained, " says Future Fund Active exchange-traded fund <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FFND\">$(FFND)$</a> cofounder Gary Black, adding he forecasts more free-cash-flow generation even with all the needed investments.</p><p>He would rather see Tesla take some of its cash and buy back stock to boost shareholder returns. "Some investors get confused and think buybacks compete with internal growth projects. They don't," adds Black.</p><p>Bigger tech players buy back stock. Apple <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$(AAPL)$</a> spent almost $85 billion on stock repurchases in 2022, according to FactSet. Microsoft <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">$(MSFT)$</a> spent some $27 billion.</p><p>"Telsa is very different from other Big Tech names," Colas tells Barron's. "It plays in a different sandbox."</p><p>Tesla sells technology and software but is still a lower-margin hardware vendor in a fragmented auto market. EVs are still early in their cycle of adoption, too. Tesla didn't respond to a request for comment about buybacks or capital raises.</p><p>Whether the company will issue or buy back stock is anyone's guess. Still, a company's capital allocation is an interesting topic for investors to consider.</p><p>Tesla stock is up 1.43% on Wednesday.</p></body></html>","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 Should Sell Stock to Raise Capital to Pressure EV Rivals, Says Strategist</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 Should Sell Stock to Raise Capital to Pressure EV Rivals, Says Strategist\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2023-09-14 14:30</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>Tesla worked hard over the years to become a profitable maker of electric vehicles.

Now one analyst thinks it needs more capital, and should issue more stock to help extend its lead over the EV competition.\"If I were advising Tesla (ticker: TSLA), I would recommend an equity issuance of $10 billion to $15 billion as soon as possible,\" wrote Datatrek cofounder, and former automotive analyst, Nicholas Colas in a Wednesday note.It's out-of-the-box thinking, as Tesla ended the second quarter with some $23 billion in cash on its books. Free cash flow generated in the first half of the year amounted to about $1.4 billion. Wall Street projects the company will generate another $4.8 billion in the second half.Tesla didn't always generate that much cash. From 2009 to 2018, Tesla used about $9.2 billion in external capital to build its business. Tesla turned free-cash-flow positive around 2019. From 2019 through the second quarter, Tesla has generated almost $18 billion in free cash flow.\"Tesla's cash balance [has not increased] much over the last six months even though its manufacturing footprint continues to grow,\" adds Colas. \"The company would market this cash raise as a competitive weapon, allowing Tesla to continue to grow its EV presence around the world regardless of economic conditions or competitive developments.\"It could help boost valuation, adds the strategist.
