perennial outperformers are down, but definitely not out.","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>KEY POINTS</h2><ul><li>Money can be made in bull markets, but fortunes are made in bear markets.</li><li>So goes the Wall Street adage that&#39;s been proven right time and again.</li><li>Long-term investors should focus on five years down the road -- not five weeks or months.</li></ul><p>Looking back at investing articles from 2009 and 2020, the worst years for stocks of the Great Recession and the pandemic, the fear in the market was palpable. But there were some brave souls with the foresight to look past the headlines -- those who did have been richly rewarded, as has been the case in every market correction. Forget timing the bottom; that&#39;s a fool&#39;s errand. Incrementally buying during those down times was ridiculously profitable.</p><p>What&#39;s the lesson? Strategize long-term, dollar-cost average, and stick with fantastic companies. <b>Alphabet</b>,<b>The Trade Desk</b>, <b>Skyworks Solutions</b>, <b>Amazon</b>, and <b>Disney</b> are down more than 20% year to date (YTD) and worthy of hefty consideration.</p><h2>1. Alphabet looks like a bargain</h2><p>When a company&#39;s primary revenue driver is so popular that it becomes a verb, that&#39;s a pretty impressive sign. You might have even &#34;Googled&#34; to find The Motley Fool. With Alphabet&#39;s stock down nearly 23% this year, it&#39;s time for investors to sit up and take notice.</p><p>Alphabet has several profit and growth drivers. Its core Google Search service is a must for advertisers, giving it incredible pricing power. YouTube capitalizes on streaming growth, and Google Cloud is growing against tough competition.</p><p>Google&#39;s advertising business, which includes Google Search, YouTube, and Google Network, has increased sales from $95 billion to $111 billion year over year through the first half of 2022 against a challenging economic backdrop. Total operating income rose to $39.5 billion from $35.8 billion, even as management grappled with inflation and cutbacks in many advertising budgets. Increasing sales in the face of headwinds show the power of Alphabet&#39;s market stronghold.</p><p>Google Cloud competes with <b>Microsoft</b> Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the cloud market. Sales have grown nearly 40% this year, but the segment isn&#39;t profitable yet. Google Cloud is a fantastic opportunity for Alphabet to diversify its profit drivers if management can successfully scale to profitability.</p><p>Alphabet is trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 21, or more than 12% lower than it traded at the start of 2019, making the stock compelling.</p><h2>2. The Trade Desk capitalizes on a massive shift</h2><p>While Alphabet has the market cornered in search advertising, The Trade Desk is making things happen in streaming. The Trade Desk offers advertisers a comprehensive platform enabling targeted advertising across several mediums, including the coveted connected television (CTV) market.</p><p>CTV refers to any content accessed through the internet, such as watching <b>Netflix</b> or Disney+ on a smart TV or using <b>Roku</b> or similar devices. It&#39;s easy to see why this market is the new must-have for advertisers.</p><p>The Trade Desk stock is down more than 25% this year after getting caught up in the growth stock euphoria in 2021. But its results are terrific. Revenue reached $1.2 billion in fiscal 2021, marking a 43% increase over the $836 million prior year.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0333f709aec1a22406c2ba6504199d65\" tg-width=\"989\" tg-height=\"418\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>DATA SOURCE: THE TRADE DESK. CHART BY AUTHOR.</span></p><p>The Trade Desk separates itself from other growth stocks by producing generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) profits to the tune of $138 million in fiscal 2021, along with $379 million in cash from operations -- an impressive 32% margin.</p><p>The Trade Desk has momentum, opportunity, and execution, and the stock is now trading near its pre-pandemic price-to-sales (P/S) ratio. This could be the time to accumulate shares for the long term.</p><h2>3. Only one segment matters for Amazon&#39;s future</h2><p>Amazon stock is down 25% this year as investors fret over rising costs, logistical headaches, and labor shortages which have crushed profits in retail. But Amazon&#39;s future is not in online retail sales. Its future is AWS, the world&#39;s leading cloud services provider, and business here is booming. AWS accounts for all of the company&#39;s operating income and a significant portion of sales growth this year.</p><p>AWS sales reached a record $62.2 billion in 2021 and $72.1 billion over the past 12 months. What&#39;s better? AWS has an operating margin of over 30%. Amazon also has a burgeoning digital advertising revenue stream that made $31.2 billion in 2021 and grew 18% last quarter. While some agonize over short-term losses in retail, long-term investors can buy the stock at a discount knowing that AWS (with an advertising cherry on top) will power profits for years to come.</p><h2>4. Skyworks enables our increasingly connected world</h2><p>Have you been to a big-box store recently and seen these new smart refrigerators? Or maybe you&#39;re on the cutting edge and already own one. This is a whimsical example of what&#39;s known as the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT includes devices from cars to hearing aids. The future of our world is connected, and the semiconductors (chips) made by Skyworks are at the forefront.</p><p>Skyworks&#39; chips are also used in conventional applications like smartphones, tablets, automobiles, and gaming platforms. The sluggish demand and expected economic slowdown have caused shares to drop more than 35% year to date. Despite the headwinds, the company increased the dividend by 11% last quarter. The forward yield is now close to 2.5% -- historically high for Skyworks. Revenue for third-quarter fiscal 2022 reached $1.2 billion on double-digit growth, and management guided for continued growth above 10% in the fiscal fourth quarter.</p><p>Chip stocks have been hit hard, but incrementally purchasing Skyworks now could pay handsomely in the future. In the meantime, investors can enjoy the yield.</p><h2>5. Don&#39;t doubt the mouse</h2><p>Disney has had a tough few years with the pandemic closing or limiting attendance, followed by inflation and fears of a recession. But the company has something up its sleeve: Pricing power. Recent articles show pricing at Disney parks rising much faster than inflation over many years. How can Disney do this? Because it has a unique product that people love and other companies can&#39;t replicate.</p><p>The stock is down about 28% this year because Wall Street is anticipating that the economy will take its toll on earnings. And they are probably right. But we don&#39;t beat the market investing for right now; we outpace the market by anticipating where a company will be in the future.</p><p>Disney has several profit drivers for the future. First, the parks are a unique experience that has been a rite of passage for generations. Revenue in this segment is up 92% so far this fiscal year, reaching $21.3 billion through three quarters. Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ streaming services are adding subscribers at a tremendous pace -- 14.4 million were added last quarter alone.

But there were some brave souls with the foresight to look past the headlines -- those who did have been richly rewarded, as has been the case in every market correction. Forget timing the bottom; that's a fool's errand. Incrementally buying during those down times was ridiculously profitable.What's the lesson? Strategize long-term, dollar-cost average, and stick with fantastic companies. Alphabet,The Trade Desk, Skyworks Solutions, Amazon, and Disney are down more than 20% year to date (YTD) and worthy of hefty consideration.1. Alphabet looks like a bargainWhen a company's primary revenue driver is so popular that it becomes a verb, that's a pretty impressive sign. You might have even \"Googled\" to find The Motley Fool. With Alphabet's stock down nearly 23% this year, it's time for investors to sit up and take notice.Alphabet has several profit and growth drivers. Its core Google Search service is a must for advertisers, giving it incredible pricing power. YouTube capitalizes on streaming growth, and Google Cloud is growing against tough competition.Google's advertising business, which includes Google Search, YouTube, and Google Network, has increased sales from $95 billion to $111 billion year over year through the first half of 2022 against a challenging economic backdrop. Total operating income rose to $39.5 billion from $35.8 billion, even as management grappled with inflation and cutbacks in many advertising budgets. Increasing sales in the face of headwinds show the power of Alphabet's market stronghold.Google Cloud competes with Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the cloud market. Sales have grown nearly 40% this year, but the segment isn't profitable yet. Google Cloud is a fantastic opportunity for Alphabet to diversify its profit drivers if management can successfully scale to profitability.Alphabet is trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 21, or more than 12% lower than it traded at the start of 2019, making the stock compelling.2. The Trade Desk capitalizes on a massive shiftWhile Alphabet has the market cornered in search advertising, The Trade Desk is making things happen in streaming. The Trade Desk offers advertisers a comprehensive platform enabling targeted advertising across several mediums, including the coveted connected television (CTV) market.CTV refers to any content accessed through the internet, such as watching Netflix or Disney+ on a smart TV or using Roku or similar devices. It's easy to see why this market is the new must-have for advertisers.The Trade Desk stock is down more than 25% this year after getting caught up in the growth stock euphoria in 2021. But its results are terrific. Revenue reached $1.2 billion in fiscal 2021, marking a 43% increase over the $836 million prior year.DATA SOURCE: THE TRADE DESK. CHART BY AUTHOR.The Trade Desk separates itself from other growth stocks by producing generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) profits to the tune of $138 million in fiscal 2021, along with $379 million in cash from operations -- an impressive 32% margin.The Trade Desk has momentum, opportunity, and execution, and the stock is now trading near its pre-pandemic price-to-sales (P/S) ratio. This could be the time to accumulate shares for the long term.3. Only one segment matters for Amazon's futureAmazon stock is down 25% this year as investors fret over rising costs, logistical headaches, and labor shortages which have crushed profits in retail. But Amazon's future is not in online retail sales. Its future is AWS, the world's leading cloud services provider, and business here is booming. AWS accounts for all of the company's operating income and a significant portion of sales growth this year.AWS sales reached a record $62.2 billion in 2021 and $72.1 billion over the past 12 months. What's better? AWS has an operating margin of over 30%. Amazon also has a burgeoning digital advertising revenue stream that made $31.2 billion in 2021 and grew 18% last quarter. While some agonize over short-term losses in retail, long-term investors can buy the stock at a discount knowing that AWS (with an advertising cherry on top) will power profits for years to come.4. Skyworks enables our increasingly connected worldHave you been to a big-box store recently and seen these new smart refrigerators? Or maybe you're on the cutting edge and already own one. This is a whimsical example of what's known as the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT includes devices from cars to hearing aids. The future of our world is connected, and the semiconductors (chips) made by Skyworks are at the forefront.Skyworks' chips are also used in conventional applications like smartphones, tablets, automobiles, and gaming platforms. The sluggish demand and expected economic slowdown have caused shares to drop more than 35% year to date. Despite the headwinds, the company increased the dividend by 11% last quarter. The forward yield is now close to 2.5% -- historically high for Skyworks. Revenue for third-quarter fiscal 2022 reached $1.2 billion on double-digit growth, and management guided for continued growth above 10% in the fiscal fourth quarter.Chip stocks have been hit hard, but incrementally purchasing Skyworks now could pay handsomely in the future. In the meantime, investors can enjoy the yield.5. Don't doubt the mouseDisney has had a tough few years with the pandemic closing or limiting attendance, followed by inflation and fears of a recession. But the company has something up its sleeve: Pricing power. Recent articles show pricing at Disney parks rising much faster than inflation over many years. How can Disney do this? Because it has a unique product that people love and other companies can't replicate.The stock is down about 28% this year because Wall Street is anticipating that the economy will take its toll on earnings. And they are probably right. But we don't beat the market investing for right now; we outpace the market by anticipating where a company will be in the future.Disney has several profit drivers for the future. First, the parks are a unique experience that has been a rite of passage for generations. Revenue in this segment is up 92% so far this fiscal year, reaching $21.3 billion through three quarters. Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ streaming services are adding subscribers at a tremendous pace -- 14.4 million were added last quarter alone. In addition, the company believes it can capitalize on the sports betting craze with ESPN.Some investors run for the exits when the market goes on sale. Others use a disciplined strategy to purchase great companies at a discount. If you are in the latter category, consider the terrific companies above.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":223,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9937439757,"gmtCreate":1663477178179,"gmtModify":1676537276808,"author":{"id":"3581295915321286","authorId":"3581295915321286","name":"DragonLee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9937439757","repostId":"1118505487","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1118505487","pubTimestamp":1663463528,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1118505487?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-18 09:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Upstart vs. Affirm: Which Beaten-Down IPO is Most Likely to Resurrect?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1118505487","media":"TipRanks","summary":"Story HighlightsFollowing last year’s IPO craze, numerous equities have suffered massive losses from","content":"<div>\n<p>Story HighlightsFollowing last year’s IPO craze, numerous equities have suffered massive losses from their past highs, including shares of Upstart & Affirm.

Upstart’s business model matches the current environment somewhat better, while its profitability prospects offer a wider margin of safety. For reasons mentioned below, I believe Upstart stock has a much higher chance of recovering compared to Affirm.Upstart (NASDAQ: UPST) and Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM) were two of the most sought-after IPOs in late 2020 and early 2021. The two companies saw their shares surge during the first few months of trading in the public markets. Yet, Upstart & Affirm are currently trading around 94% and 87% off their all-time highs – quite a staggering development.In this article, I am going to provide some context on what caused such massive declines following the IPO euphoria of 2020 and 2021 and then speculate which one of the two names has the higher chance of making investors’ money back.What Caused Upstart & Affirm to Surge Only to Violently Decline After?The IPO market went nuts last year, and for a good reason. With investors riding the euphoria formed by the post-COVID-19 recovery, trillions of dollars flooding the market following government assistance to businesses and individuals, and monetary easing encouraging cheap borrowing, inflated valuations persisted strongly. Thus, it was probably the best time in history to take your company public, as investment banks, VC funds, and angel investors could exit their holdings at fantastic multiples.To add some color to the picture, in 2019 and 2020, 232 and 480 IPOs were completed. In fact, 480 was a new record at the time. In 2021, this number skyrocketed to an unprecedented 1,035, more than two times higher than the previous year’s record. Then, reality knocked on investors’ doors.Who would have thought that printing over $5 trillion dollars would cause inflation levels to surge? Some did, and inflation certainly did surge. In fact, it remains at sky-high levels. Then, things took a contrasting turn. With the FED eager to control inflation via rising interest rates, the economy has been set to slow down.Add growing costs amid supply-chain constraints and a tight labor market, and the previously sky-high valuation multiples were no longer justifiable by any means possible. It’s no wonder that during the first nine months of 2022, only 153 IPOs have taken place – a fraction compared to last year.The majority of the companies that went public amid last year’s euphoria would never make enough money any time soon to justify their stock prices, hence why many of these stocks declined by 80% to 90% from their all-time highs in the span of a few months. Upstart and Affirm were met with the same fate. In fact, these companies were affected massively due to their business model requiring a thriving economy to produce growing results.Which Stock Has the Chance to Make Your Money Back?As just mentioned, Upstart and Affirm, in particular, require blossoming economic conditions to grow since the former’s business model is focused on lending and the latter’s on buy-now-pay-later (BNPL). As you can easily imagine, nobody is going to borrow money or buy products that they may not be able to repay later. Thus, the two businesses have a hard time in a rising-rate environment loaded with uncertainty.However, if I had to bet which stock has the higher chance of coming back from the dead, it would definitely be Upstart. This is due to its lean, margin-rich business model, which should start building equity value on the balance sheet quite rapidly. For context, Upstart’s gross and EBITDA margins over the past four quarters amount to 83.7% and 9.7%, respectively. In the case of Affirm, these figures stand at 49% and -53%.Source: Koyfin.comClearly, Upstart’s current and future profitability prospects are levels ahead of Affirm’s. Most certainly, investors are unlikely to prefer a money-losing business in the current environment. This is because raising additional funds these days would be disastrous. Investors would be massively diluted for the extra cash at the stock’s current price levels.Upstart’s business model has the upper hand here, as even though lending volumes may decline, the company continues to license its AI platform to banks, which results in high-margin, recurring cash flows. In fact, while lending activities may shrink, banks actually need Upstart’s AI more than ever to filter between creditworthy and uncreditworthy borrowers in the current environment.Affirm loses here, as merchants aren’t encouraged to use its platform if they think the current economic conditions will prevent customers from paying back their commitments.From a margin of safety point of view, Upstart stock also has the upper hand. The company is currently trading at around 19.6x Fiscal 2023’s expected earnings, which is quite an attractive valuation multiple considering that it could grow notably from there if economic conditions improve. Again, making money these days is truly important.Further, due to Upstart management recognizing the fact that shares are cheap against the company’s future profit prospects, earlier this year, they announced a $400 million repurchase program. No repurchases have taken place yet, though the program makes for a good reminder that the company is profitable and will be returning capital to shareholders.In contrast, Affirm is not expected to make any money, at least all the way through Fiscal 2025, if not for longer. Thus, investors have little to no margin of safety in comparison, with the company’s equity value likely to go down the drain during this time.Conclusion: Upstart Looks Like the Better ChoiceBetween Upstart’s AI-lending and Affirm’s BNPL business models, the former has a clear advantage during the ongoing macroeconomic landscape. Additionally, Upstart profitability prospects are much more attractive, providing investors with a much wider margin of safety against Affirm’s money-losing operations. This, combined with the fact that Upstart is trading at a relatively cheap valuation, leads me to the conclusion that Upstart has a significantly higher chance of repairing investors’ recent losses.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":299,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9937677269,"gmtCreate":1663437237451,"gmtModify":1676537270021,"author":{"id":"3581295915321286","authorId":"3581295915321286","name":"DragonLee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Okok","listText":"Okok","text":"Okok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9937677269","repostId":"2267698524","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2267698524","pubTimestamp":1663373406,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2267698524?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-17 08:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy and Never Sell","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2267698524","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These highly profitable companies offer sustainable competitive advantages that make them no-brainer buys.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>When <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> CEO Warren Buffett buys or sells shares of a company, investors wisely pay attention. That&#39;s because the Oracle of Omaha has generated a jaw-dropping total return of 3,641,613% for his Class A shareholders (BRK.A) since taking the reins of Berkshire Hathaway more than 57 years ago.</p><p>Considering Buffett&#39;s penchant for buying high-quality stocks and hanging onto them for the long run, riding the Oracle of Omaha&#39;s coattails has proven quite profitable for decades. It&#39;s an especially smart time for investors to go shopping for Buffett stocks, with the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> and <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> plunging into a bear market.</p><p>What follows are five Warren Buffett stocks investors can confidently buy right now and never have to sell.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9dff3932ab34c4852ce5e15e7b312f41\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p><h2>Amazon</h2><p>The first Buffett stock that can be bought without investors losing any sleep is e-commerce leader <b>Amazon</b>. Although Amazon&#39;s leading online marketplace is susceptible to weakness during recessions, this top revenue segment isn&#39;t the key to the company potentially tripling its operating cash flow over the next four years.</p><p>Even though Amazon is estimated to bring in nearly 40% of all U.S. online retail sales in 2022, it&#39;s the company&#39;s higher-margin ancillary operating segments that are driving its profitability and cash flow. For example, the popularity of Amazon&#39;s marketplace has helped the company sign up more than 200 million Prime members worldwide. Amazon is bringing in approximately $35 billion in annual run-rate sales from subscription services, which is allowing it to reinvest in its vast logistics network and other high-growth initiatives.</p><p>The other heavy-hitter is cloud infrastructure services segment Amazon Web Services (AWS). According to a recent report from Canalys, AWS brought in an estimated 31% of cloud-service spending during the second quarter. Even though AWS only accounts for a sixth of Amazon&#39;s net sales, it&#39;s been consistently producing more than half of the company&#39;s operating income. With cloud growth still in its early innings and AWS growing into a larger percentage of Amazon&#39;s total sales, the company looks cheaper than ever, relative to its future cash flow-generating potential.</p><h2>Visa</h2><p>The second Warren Buffett stock investors can buy and never have to consider selling is payment processor <b>Visa</b>.

Though economic weakness and historically high inflation threaten to sap auto sales in the short run, the long-awaited growth catalyst for General Motors has arrived.</p><p>The electrification of autos for consumers and enterprise fleets is the multidecade opportunity the auto industry has been waiting for. With most developed countries angling to reduce their carbon footprints, electric vehicles (EVs) are viewed as a sustainable growth story.</p><p>General Motors intends to spend $35 billion on EVs, autonomous vehicles, and battery research through the midpoint of the decade. The expectation, according to CEO Mary Barra, is for GM to roll out 30 new EVs by the end of 2025. The company should have two fully devoted battery plants up and running by the end of next year, with over 1 million EVs produced annually in North America in 2025.</p><p>What&#39;s more, GM has a sizable presence in China, the world&#39;s No. 1 auto market. General Motors has sold 2.9 million vehicles in back-to-back years in China, and should have the opportunity to gobble up market share in China&#39;s still-nascent EV industry.</p><h2>Bank of America</h2><p>The fourth Warren Buffett stock that can be bought hand over fist and never sold is financial juggernaut <b>Bank of America</b>.

Since the federal funds target rate is coming off an extended period where it was effectively at 0%, the implication is that BofA can expect a sizable uptick in net-interest income in the years ahead.</p><p>This is also a company that&#39;s done a phenomenal job of encouraging its customers to bank digitally. As of the end of June, 43 million active users were banking online or via mobile, with 48% of all sales being completed digitally.  Because digital transactions are considerably cheaper than in-person and phone interactions for banks, this digital push has allowed BofA to consolidate some of its physical branches and reduce its noninterest expenses.</p><h2>Berkshire Hathaway</h2><p>The fifth and final Warren Buffett stock you can buy and never sell is (cue ironic music) ...Berkshire Hathaway. Over the past four years, there&#39;s no stock Warren Buffett has spent more money buying than his own company.</p><p>What makes Berkshire Hathaway such a rock-solid performer is Buffett&#39;s affinity for cyclical businesses and his love of dividend stocks.</p><p>As I&#39;ve pointed to throughout this list, cyclical companies benefit from the substantially longer amount of time the U.S. and global economy spend expanding. Instead of trying to guess when these economic downturns will occur, Buffett has packed Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s investment portfolio with companies that thrive off the natural growth of U.S. and global gross domestic product over time. Tech stocks, financials (banks, insurers, and payment processors), and energy stocks (oil companies) all benefit immensely from extended bull markets.</p><p>Additionally, Berkshire Hathaway is on track to collect approximately $6.07 billion in dividend income over the next 12 months.

That's because the Oracle of Omaha has generated a jaw-dropping total return of 3,641,613% for his Class A shareholders (BRK.A) since taking the reins of Berkshire Hathaway more than 57 years ago.Considering Buffett's penchant for buying high-quality stocks and hanging onto them for the long run, riding the Oracle of Omaha's coattails has proven quite profitable for decades. It's an especially smart time for investors to go shopping for Buffett stocks, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite plunging into a bear market.What follows are five Warren Buffett stocks investors can confidently buy right now and never have to sell.Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.AmazonThe first Buffett stock that can be bought without investors losing any sleep is e-commerce leader Amazon. Although Amazon's leading online marketplace is susceptible to weakness during recessions, this top revenue segment isn't the key to the company potentially tripling its operating cash flow over the next four years.Even though Amazon is estimated to bring in nearly 40% of all U.S. online retail sales in 2022, it's the company's higher-margin ancillary operating segments that are driving its profitability and cash flow. For example, the popularity of Amazon's marketplace has helped the company sign up more than 200 million Prime members worldwide. Amazon is bringing in approximately $35 billion in annual run-rate sales from subscription services, which is allowing it to reinvest in its vast logistics network and other high-growth initiatives.The other heavy-hitter is cloud infrastructure services segment Amazon Web Services (AWS). According to a recent report from Canalys, AWS brought in an estimated 31% of cloud-service spending during the second quarter. Even though AWS only accounts for a sixth of Amazon's net sales, it's been consistently producing more than half of the company's operating income. With cloud growth still in its early innings and AWS growing into a larger percentage of Amazon's total sales, the company looks cheaper than ever, relative to its future cash flow-generating potential.VisaThe second Warren Buffett stock investors can buy and never have to consider selling is payment processor Visa. Despite being cyclical, Visa's sustainable competitive advantages make it a no-brainer stock to hold for the long term.To begin with, Visa accounted for a whopping 54% of U.S. credit card network purchase volume in 2020. The U.S. is the leading market for consumption in the world, and Visa holds a 31-percentage-point lead over its next-closest competitor. To boot, it's the only payment processor that significantly expanded its share of the U.S. processing market following the Great Recession (2007-2009).To add to the above, the vast majority of global transactions are still being conducted with cash. This should give Visa ample opportunity to organically expand into underbanked markets, such as the Middle East, Africa, and Southeastern Asia, and to make acquisitions to further its reach.It's also worth noting that Visa doesn't act as a lender. By only focusing on payment processing, Visa doesn't have to worry about possible loan delinquencies, and therefore isn't required to set aside capital to cover potential loan losses. This is a big reason why Visa's profit margin is usually at or above 50%.The GMC Hummer EV is one of 30 electric vehicles GM is releasing by the end of 2025.

Adobe executives said they think the acquisition will enable them to tap into demand from such users in a way that is complementary to the base of designers who use its existing software tools.</p><p>David Wadhwani, president of Adobe&#39;s digital-media business, said the stock market&#39;s swoon, which makes it harder for tech startups to go public at valuations they desire, had helped enable the deal. &#34;I think moments like this create opportunities that don&#39;t exist at other times,&#34; he said in an interview.</p><p>But Figma is fetching a steep price from Adobe, which will pay for the deal using roughly half cash, half stock. The smaller company was valued at $10 billion in a funding round last year and has been expected to surpass annual recurring revenue of $400 million for 2022 -- about one-50th of its sale price. Adobe said Figma has gross profit margins of approximately 90% and positive operating cash flow.</p><p>Adobe, based in San Jose, Calif., unveiled the deal Thursday morning with its quarterly results, which it pulled forward from a planned afternoon announcement after The Wall Street Journal began inquiring about an acquisition Wednesday. Adobe reported fiscal third-quarter net income of $1.14 billion and revenue of $4.43 billion, which was up 13% year-over-year. It also issued fourth-quarter revenue guidance that fell below Wall Street expectations, citing foreign-exchange challenges tied to the run-up in the U.S. dollar.</p><p>Adobe&#39;s shares ended Thursday trading down nearly 17%, amid concern about the outlook and worry that the deal shows the company might be worried about being outflanked by some competitors. Its shares are down around 45% this year through Thursday, while the Nasdaq Composite Index is down around 26%.</p><p>Adobe, which had a market value of about $174 billion before the deal was announced, is best-known by consumers for software programs -- including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Acrobat -- used for graphic design, video editing and more. It also has segments focused on analytics and marketing as well as publishing.</p><p>Figma&#39;s products are akin to digital whiteboards in which designers and engineers can share design iterations and annotate them with feedback and suggestions.</p><p>Some investors viewed Thursday&#39;s deal as an implicit acknowledgment that Figma and a rival online design and publishing tool called Canva, among other competitors, have been making inroads into Adobe&#39;s market for design tools, Bernstein Research analyst Mark Moerdler said in a note Thursday.</p><p>&#34;It would seem that this is a hefty price tag (even considering its very strong growth rate) given the recent decrease in valuations across software and especially at Adobe,&#34; he wrote. &#34;Our initial thoughts are that this was an acquisition driven by need and not opportunity.&#34;</p><p>Adobe&#39;s Mr. Wadhwani pushed back against the idea that the acquisition is defensive, saying that Figma&#39;s customers are a new segment of users that aren&#39;t designers but mostly software developers and product managers. He said Figma&#39;s total addressable market is $16 billion, while Adobe is targeting a market that is $60 billion.</p><p>&#34;As cliché as it is, this is definitely a one-plus-one-equals-three kind of situation,&#34; Mr. Wadhwani said.</p><p>Figma was started by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace, who both studied computer science at Brown University. Mr. Field, now chief executive, will continue to oversee Figma while reporting to Mr. Wadhwani following the deal&#39;s close, the companies said.</p><p>Mr. Field said that the acquisition will help Figma move faster. &#34;This is a way that we can continue to have a lot of autonomy, while also being able to accelerate the business, leverage the talent, expertise and technology of Adobe,&#34; he said.</p><p>Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen said in an interview that everything we see on screens starts as a concept, which Figma&#39;s FigJam product allows people to generate collaboratively and remotely.</p><p>&#34;When you go to engage with a mobile application on the web, somebody has to design that and then translate that into code,&#34; he said. &#34;That&#39;s what Adobe and Figma can do.&#34;</p><p>The software sector typically supplies a steady source of deals each year as established players continually seek to expand their offerings, especially those for corporate customers. Notable combinations in recent years include Salesforce.com Inc.&#39;s $28 billion purchase of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WORK\">Slack Technologies</a> Inc.

There are already signs that reprieve may be short lived.</p><p>Investors are bailing out of technology-focused mutual and exchange-traded funds at the fastest clip since early February, when the tech selloff was first intensifying, according to data from Refinitiv Lipper. They yanked about $2.4 billion from such funds in the three weeks ended Wednesday.</p><p>The group has been among the hardest hit since the early summer stock-market rally fizzled amid dimming hopes for a pivot by the Federal Reserve. Last week, clues on the central bank&#39;s interest-rate path continued to drive big swings in stocks -- as of Tuesday, the Nasdaq Composite was in the midst of a seven-session losing streak, its longest since 2016, before it rocketed higher over the following three days.</p><p>Even after rallying 4.1% this past week, the tech-heavy gauge is still down around 3.1% over the past month, underperforming the S&amp;P 500, which is off 1.3%. In 2022, the Nasdaq has fallen 23% and is headed toward its worst annual performance relative to the broad benchmark since 2002.</p><p>&#34;It&#39;s a volatile year -- it&#39;s never easy to sound the all clear from a short-term basis,&#34; said Giorgio Caputo, a senior fund manager at J O Hambro Capital Management Group.</p><p>Still, Mr. Caputo said he thinks the entry point to pick up tech shares is better now than it was earlier in the year.</p><p>In the coming week, traders will be closely parsing fresh data on consumer prices for clues on the path of interest-rate increases, a report that could stoke giant moves across stock and bond markets.</p><p>Tech stocks have been more susceptible to rapidly shifting sentiment in the bond market -- which is in one of the most intense downturns in decades -- than many other corners of the stock market. That is in part because rising yields make their future cash flows less attractive and have led many investors to flee the shares.</p><p>Even after the downturn this year, many analysts say tech stocks still appear richly valued. Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp., Alphabet Inc., Amazon.com Inc., Tesla Inc., <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a> Inc. and Nvidia Corp. have on average a forward 12-month price-to-earnings ratio of 38, compared with 16.7 for the S&amp;P 500, according to DataTrek Research.</p><p>&#34;If you expect that there&#39;s going to be stiff economic headwinds and realize that the Fed is in inflation fighting mode, those valuations are still at risk of coming lower,&#34; said Jake Jolly, senior investment strategist at BNY Mellon Investment Management, which oversees about $1.9 trillion in assets, of tech stocks.</p><p>Many traders expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 0.75 percentage point for the third consecutive time at its meeting later this month as it looks to combat sky-high inflation.</p><p>Analysts have taken an especially aggressive hand with companies in the tech sector when evaluating their earnings estimates.</p><p>Expectations for third-quarter earnings within the S&amp;P 500&#39;s information technology and communication services sectors -- home to the parent companies of Facebook and Google -- have fallen by about 9% and 13%, respectively, over roughly the past two months. Those are the steepest declines among any of the groups in the index, FactSet data show. Analysts have slashed their estimates on everything from Twitter Inc. to Meta and Alphabet.</p><p>An options measure called skew, which measures how costly it is to protect against further stock declines, is elevated for stocks such as Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and Nvidia, according to Charlie McElligott, a managing director at Nomura Securities International. That is typically a sign that some traders are positioning for a bigger drop.</p><p>Meanwhile, semiconductor stocks, such as Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices Inc., have faced some of the most acute pressure of late. Both stocks have tumbled more than 10% over the past month, a slide that has erased tens of billions of dollars in market value.</p><p>&#34;We continue to believe we are entering the worst semiconductor downturn in a decade given the recession and inventory build,&#34; Citigroup analysts wrote in a note to clients on Aug. 30. The analysts projected that the PHLX Semiconductor Index would fall another 25%.</p><p>The underperformance in tech is bad news for the broader market, which is closely correlated to the group&#39;s performance. The S&amp;P 500 is weighted by market cap, and most of its biggest constituents remain in the tech industry.</p><p>The recent selloff -- and late-week rally in tech -- has led some investors to question whether the worst of the declines are over after an already punishing year. Much of the debate around tech&#39;s performance hinges on the path of Treasury yields in the coming months.</p><p>If inflation keeps falling and economic growth flounders, that could be a boon to the sector, especially if the Fed eventually eases up on raising interest rates, some investors said.</p><p>Goldman Sachs analysts recently suggested that could lead to a repeat of 2019, when shares of growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts as the Fed shifted to cutting rates after steadily raising them. That said, the bank said it is still expecting shares of value companies -- traditionally considered those that trade at a low multiple of their book value, or net worth -- to shine.</p><p>Some investors have gone hunting for bargains, positioning for a rebound. One fund that provides turbocharged exposure to the Nasdaq-100, the ProShares UltraPro QQQ, recently recorded its biggest one-day inflows since early June, FactSet data show.</p><p>Christopher Grisanti, chief equity strategist of MAI Capital Management, said his firm trimmed some of its tech positions earlier in the year. Now, after the continued selloff, he thinks several companies in the group, including Alphabet, look attractive.</p><p>&#34;If you want to pick the best house to buy in this crummy neighborhood that&#39;s the market right now, I think tech is looking relatively attractive,&#34; Mr. Grisanti said. &#34;Should we roll into a recession, they&#39;ll lose me less money than other things.&#34;</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>Outlook for Tech Stocks Darkens After Rocky Stretch</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\">\nOutlook for Tech Stocks Darkens After Rocky Stretch\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\">2022-09-10 17:30</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>A rally in technology shares helped the stock market snap a three-week losing streak.

This Wednesday, at a presentation dubbed “Far Out,” the company is set to unveil the iPhone 14 line, a fresh slate of smartwatches and new AirPods.</p><p>Last year, I called the iPhone 13 an incremental update to the iPhone 12. It ushered in some camera improvements and added ProMotion to the Pro version, but wasn’t a departure from the earlier model. At the time, I expected the iPhone 14 to bring more significant changes. While that’s still true, I think the enhancements—for the second year in a row—will be more modest than mind-blowing.</p><p>The device will continue to come in four variations: two Pro models and two standard versions. But, as I’ve covered exhaustively, there will be no iPhone 14 mini to succeed the iPhone 13 mini. Instead, Apple is focusing on large devices. It’s planning a 6.1-inch iPhone 14, 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus, 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max.</p><p>The regular iPhone 14 models will get some camera hardware changes, but the most significant upgrades will be reserved for the Pro line—and that could be a theme of the event. The company’s upscale products should generate the most fireworks at Wednesday’s launch, which will include a new high-end Apple Watch and upgraded AirPods Pro earbuds.</p><p>Unlike the standard model, the iPhone 14 Pro is poised to get a faster A16 chip, an always-on display and a 48-megapixel rear wide-angle camera system.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec31812af9c92fb56f5f319b5c96a9f7\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"667\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>The iPhone 13 Pro.Photographer: SeongJoon Cho/Bloomberg</span></p><p>Besides those bells and whistles, expect the iPhone 14 Pro to get some design changes—the most significant being a revamped notch area for the camera and Face ID sensors. This will mark the second year in a row that Apple reduces the size of the notch, though last year’s change didn’t bring a real functional improvement.</p><p>The new notch will be made up of hardware cutouts for the front-facing camera (with autofocus for the first time) and improved facial-recognition sensors. When the device is in use, the notch will look like a single, capsule-shaped hole.</p><p>I’m told that if Apple didn’t blend the two cutouts it would look odd while watching video or scrolling through blocks of text. Despite the additional screen real estate freed up by the smaller notch, I wouldn’t expect the status bar at the top of the iPhone to change much.</p><p>Beyond the notch, I’m told to expect the iPhone 14 Pro models to appear slightly larger overall and include slimmer bezels. They will have bigger batteries too.</p><p>There’s also a significantly larger camera area on the back of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max for the new 48-megapixel wide-angle system and improved telephoto and ultrawide-angle sensors. I’m expecting enhancements to video recording and low-light photography as well.</p><p>And Apple will give eSIM a bigger push this time around, with carriers preparing to steer users toward the digital, embedded SIM cards rather than physical ones. In fact, Apple has considered removing the physical SIM card slot altogether beginning either this year or next for some models.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7167f63281fa481713f027d7660db685\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"666\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>A display of AirPods at an Apple store.Photographer: Hollie Adams/Bloomberg</span></p><p>Altogether, these aren’t game-changing overhauls, but I still think they will be enough to entice users of iPhone 11 models and earlier to upgrade—especially given my expectation of another year of strong trade-in deals from Apple and its partners.</p><p>I expect the new iPhones to go on sale on Sept. 16,about a week earlier than usual, which should give Apple a few more days of revenue for its September quarter. Given the tough comparison with last year, when the company saw a significant Covid-induced sales jump, Apple could use the extra few billion dollars to lessen investor concerns about slowing growth.</p><p>On paper, Apple makes about 50% of its revenue from the iPhone, but the actual percentage is far higher. That 50% number represents cash made by selling actual iPhone units, ignoring the device’s impact on other products. AirPods and the Apple Watch only work well for iPhone owners, and a new phone can spur shoppers to buy additional accessories.</p><p>The AirPods and Apple Watch are the top performers within the company’s Wearables, Home and Accessories category, which generates about 10% of its revenue (the Apple TV and HomePod are in the same segment, but updates to those products aren’t coming until later).</p><p>That is probably why Apple is releasing upgrades for the iPhone and its top two accessories simultaneously. The new AirPods Pro will update a model that first went on sale in October 2019. I reported last year that new AirPods Pro would arrive in 2022, and now I’m told that Wednesday will be their big unveiling.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d270febe60071621afebbb2e4141464b\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"595\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>High-end Garmin smartwatch.Source: Garmin</span></p><p>The most significant new product coming will be the company’s first Apple Watch Pro. It’s designed to go straight after Garmin Ltd.’s high-end, rugged watches—a lineup aimed at heavy-duty athletes like mountain bikers, hikers and marathon runners.</p><p>While Apple held about 36% of the smartwatch market in the second quarter, according to Counterpoint Research, here’s a statistic you may find surprising: Even though Apple is known for premium prices, Garmin is the market-share leader for models that cost $500 and up. With the Apple Watch Pro, that could change.</p><p>The new high-end Apple Watch will have a noticeably larger display, so users can view redesigned watch faces and more fitness and health-tracking statistics at the same time. It will also have a larger battery, along with a low-power mode, and a rugged titanium casing. Moreover, it features an all-new design that revamps a form factor first introduced with the Series 4 in 2018.</p><p>I’m told that the Apple Watch Pro will be fairly large and probably won’t appeal to all consumers, as it’s going to be bigger than most wrists. Given the larger size, older Apple Watch bands may not look flush with the device, but the new case is designed so existing bands can still work—contrary to some rumors I’ve seen.</p><p>The device should appeal to people who’ve coveted the also-large Garmin offerings. Apple has been working on this new watch for a while, and I first reported on it all the way back in March 2021.</p><p>As with the introduction of Pro iPhones in 2019, releasing an Apple Watch Pro line will let the company reserve its most significant new features for a pricier device that can bring in more revenue. Given the new capabilities, I expect this watch to come in<i>at least</i>$900 to $1,000, topping the current Apple Watch Edition. For comparison, Garmin’s high-end watches cost between $1,000 and $1,500. Amazfit also competes in this category, though generally at lower prices.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86904c7cec62fef554af1fba12f21ea5\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"749\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Apple Watch Series 7.Source: Apple</span></p><p>The other two Apple Watches being introduced on Wednesday won’t be significant overhauls. There’s a new Apple Watch SE coming that will look like the current model from 2020 but see itschip upgraded from the S5 to an S8. That processor will also be included in the Series 8 standard and Pro models.</p><p>The main updates coming in the flagship Series 8 will be a new body-temperature sensor and women’s health features related to fertility (these capabilities are also coming to the rugged model). That will add to the device’s existing health features, including the EKG, blood-oxygen and heart-rate functions. I first reported on plans for the upgrade over a year ago.</p><p>While some Apple watchers have called for the company to further diversify beyond the iPhone, the company is actually continuing to diversify <i>with</i> the iPhone. It’s seeking to generate more revenue from products tied to the device while reserving its biggest enhancements for its higher-end, more-profitable models.</p><p>One other thing to watch for: In March, I reported that the company is gearing up to launch an iPhone subscription service tied to Apple One. As of now, I have no reason to believe that won’t happen before the end of the year.</p><p>And Sept. 7 won’t be the end of Apple’s Pro product blitz. It will continue with the launch of iPad Pros and high-end Macs in October.</p><p>Until then, stay tuned Wednesday on the Bloomberg Terminal, Bloomberg.com and Twitter for coverage of the company’s Far Out event.</p><p><b>The Bench</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e96da563328824478c8f61b972d1a140\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"650\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Reality One trademark filing.Source: US Patent and Trademark Office</span></p><p><b>Apple’s mixed-reality headset will likely be named Reality Pro or Reality One.</b> A secretive shell company tied to Apple has filed to trademark the names “Reality Pro” and “Reality One” in several countries over the past few weeks, indicating that those are two brands under consideration for the company’s first mixed-reality headset.</p><p>In January, I had heard that Apple was discussing calling the headset either Apple Reality or Apple Vision. It now appears that the company has landed on some version of Apple Reality as the name.</p><p>The device has been in development for years and will blend augmented reality with virtual reality. Apple will release the headset in 2023, with a lighter-weight AR-only version coming in later years.</p><p>For the first version, using “Apple Reality Pro” makes the most sense to me, given that it will be a high-end headset. “Apple Reality One” would make sense as a future lower-end model, but could be an option for the initial device too. The trademarks also include “Reality Processor,” a reasonable name for the onboard co-processor that will handle the headset’s high-intensity AR and VR graphics alongside the M2 chip.</p><p>There is one more trademark from the same shell company that I didn’t mention in my original story: “Optica.” That name may have something to do with the headset’s interchangeable optics system for users who need a glasses prescription. It’s also probably a better name than Apple Glasses for the eventual AR-only headset.</p><p>But we’ll have to continue to speculate for now since Apple won’t be discussing its headset plans at Wednesday’s event.</p><p><b>Roster Changes</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/806871fbbd9b1a26cf3e80bfeace7d72\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"713\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Apple’s Jane Horvath.Photographer: David Becker/Getty Images</span></p><p><b>Apple’s chief privacy officer to depart for law firm.</b>Jane Horvath is just one of a few Apple executives to hold a “chief officer” title, and now she is leaving the iPhone maker for a role at Gibson, Dunn &amp; Crutcher LLP, which is essentially the tech company’s law firm of record.

Live: Apple 2022 Autumn EventThe StartersApple’s Steve Jobs Theater.Photographer: David Paul Morris/BloombergAfter several weeks of anticipation, we’re in the home stretch: Apple Inc.’s biggest event of the year is about three days away. This Wednesday, at a presentation dubbed “Far Out,” the company is set to unveil the iPhone 14 line, a fresh slate of smartwatches and new AirPods.Last year, I called the iPhone 13 an incremental update to the iPhone 12. It ushered in some camera improvements and added ProMotion to the Pro version, but wasn’t a departure from the earlier model. At the time, I expected the iPhone 14 to bring more significant changes. While that’s still true, I think the enhancements—for the second year in a row—will be more modest than mind-blowing.The device will continue to come in four variations: two Pro models and two standard versions. But, as I’ve covered exhaustively, there will be no iPhone 14 mini to succeed the iPhone 13 mini. Instead, Apple is focusing on large devices. It’s planning a 6.1-inch iPhone 14, 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus, 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max.The regular iPhone 14 models will get some camera hardware changes, but the most significant upgrades will be reserved for the Pro line—and that could be a theme of the event. The company’s upscale products should generate the most fireworks at Wednesday’s launch, which will include a new high-end Apple Watch and upgraded AirPods Pro earbuds.Unlike the standard model, the iPhone 14 Pro is poised to get a faster A16 chip, an always-on display and a 48-megapixel rear wide-angle camera system.The iPhone 13 Pro.Photographer: SeongJoon Cho/BloombergBesides those bells and whistles, expect the iPhone 14 Pro to get some design changes—the most significant being a revamped notch area for the camera and Face ID sensors. This will mark the second year in a row that Apple reduces the size of the notch, though last year’s change didn’t bring a real functional improvement.The new notch will be made up of hardware cutouts for the front-facing camera (with autofocus for the first time) and improved facial-recognition sensors. When the device is in use, the notch will look like a single, capsule-shaped hole.I’m told that if Apple didn’t blend the two cutouts it would look odd while watching video or scrolling through blocks of text. Despite the additional screen real estate freed up by the smaller notch, I wouldn’t expect the status bar at the top of the iPhone to change much.Beyond the notch, I’m told to expect the iPhone 14 Pro models to appear slightly larger overall and include slimmer bezels. They will have bigger batteries too.There’s also a significantly larger camera area on the back of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max for the new 48-megapixel wide-angle system and improved telephoto and ultrawide-angle sensors. I’m expecting enhancements to video recording and low-light photography as well.And Apple will give eSIM a bigger push this time around, with carriers preparing to steer users toward the digital, embedded SIM cards rather than physical ones. In fact, Apple has considered removing the physical SIM card slot altogether beginning either this year or next for some models.A display of AirPods at an Apple store.Photographer: Hollie Adams/BloombergAltogether, these aren’t game-changing overhauls, but I still think they will be enough to entice users of iPhone 11 models and earlier to upgrade—especially given my expectation of another year of strong trade-in deals from Apple and its partners.I expect the new iPhones to go on sale on Sept. 16,about a week earlier than usual, which should give Apple a few more days of revenue for its September quarter. Given the tough comparison with last year, when the company saw a significant Covid-induced sales jump, Apple could use the extra few billion dollars to lessen investor concerns about slowing growth.On paper, Apple makes about 50% of its revenue from the iPhone, but the actual percentage is far higher. That 50% number represents cash made by selling actual iPhone units, ignoring the device’s impact on other products. AirPods and the Apple Watch only work well for iPhone owners, and a new phone can spur shoppers to buy additional accessories.The AirPods and Apple Watch are the top performers within the company’s Wearables, Home and Accessories category, which generates about 10% of its revenue (the Apple TV and HomePod are in the same segment, but updates to those products aren’t coming until later).That is probably why Apple is releasing upgrades for the iPhone and its top two accessories simultaneously. The new AirPods Pro will update a model that first went on sale in October 2019. I reported last year that new AirPods Pro would arrive in 2022, and now I’m told that Wednesday will be their big unveiling.High-end Garmin smartwatch.Source: GarminThe most significant new product coming will be the company’s first Apple Watch Pro. It’s designed to go straight after Garmin Ltd.’s high-end, rugged watches—a lineup aimed at heavy-duty athletes like mountain bikers, hikers and marathon runners.While Apple held about 36% of the smartwatch market in the second quarter, according to Counterpoint Research, here’s a statistic you may find surprising: Even though Apple is known for premium prices, Garmin is the market-share leader for models that cost $500 and up. With the Apple Watch Pro, that could change.The new high-end Apple Watch will have a noticeably larger display, so users can view redesigned watch faces and more fitness and health-tracking statistics at the same time. It will also have a larger battery, along with a low-power mode, and a rugged titanium casing. Moreover, it features an all-new design that revamps a form factor first introduced with the Series 4 in 2018.I’m told that the Apple Watch Pro will be fairly large and probably won’t appeal to all consumers, as it’s going to be bigger than most wrists. Given the larger size, older Apple Watch bands may not look flush with the device, but the new case is designed so existing bands can still work—contrary to some rumors I’ve seen.The device should appeal to people who’ve coveted the also-large Garmin offerings. Apple has been working on this new watch for a while, and I first reported on it all the way back in March 2021.As with the introduction of Pro iPhones in 2019, releasing an Apple Watch Pro line will let the company reserve its most significant new features for a pricier device that can bring in more revenue. Given the new capabilities, I expect this watch to come inat least$900 to $1,000, topping the current Apple Watch Edition. For comparison, Garmin’s high-end watches cost between $1,000 and $1,500. Amazfit also competes in this category, though generally at lower prices.Apple Watch Series 7.Source: AppleThe other two Apple Watches being introduced on Wednesday won’t be significant overhauls. There’s a new Apple Watch SE coming that will look like the current model from 2020 but see itschip upgraded from the S5 to an S8. That processor will also be included in the Series 8 standard and Pro models.The main updates coming in the flagship Series 8 will be a new body-temperature sensor and women’s health features related to fertility (these capabilities are also coming to the rugged model). That will add to the device’s existing health features, including the EKG, blood-oxygen and heart-rate functions. I first reported on plans for the upgrade over a year ago.While some Apple watchers have called for the company to further diversify beyond the iPhone, the company is actually continuing to diversify with the iPhone. It’s seeking to generate more revenue from products tied to the device while reserving its biggest enhancements for its higher-end, more-profitable models.One other thing to watch for: In March, I reported that the company is gearing up to launch an iPhone subscription service tied to Apple One. As of now, I have no reason to believe that won’t happen before the end of the year.And Sept. 7 won’t be the end of Apple’s Pro product blitz. It will continue with the launch of iPad Pros and high-end Macs in October.Until then, stay tuned Wednesday on the Bloomberg Terminal, Bloomberg.com and Twitter for coverage of the company’s Far Out event.The BenchReality One trademark filing.Source: US Patent and Trademark OfficeApple’s mixed-reality headset will likely be named Reality Pro or Reality One. A secretive shell company tied to Apple has filed to trademark the names “Reality Pro” and “Reality One” in several countries over the past few weeks, indicating that those are two brands under consideration for the company’s first mixed-reality headset.In January, I had heard that Apple was discussing calling the headset either Apple Reality or Apple Vision. It now appears that the company has landed on some version of Apple Reality as the name.The device has been in development for years and will blend augmented reality with virtual reality. Apple will release the headset in 2023, with a lighter-weight AR-only version coming in later years.For the first version, using “Apple Reality Pro” makes the most sense to me, given that it will be a high-end headset. “Apple Reality One” would make sense as a future lower-end model, but could be an option for the initial device too. The trademarks also include “Reality Processor,” a reasonable name for the onboard co-processor that will handle the headset’s high-intensity AR and VR graphics alongside the M2 chip.There is one more trademark from the same shell company that I didn’t mention in my original story: “Optica.” That name may have something to do with the headset’s interchangeable optics system for users who need a glasses prescription. It’s also probably a better name than Apple Glasses for the eventual AR-only headset.But we’ll have to continue to speculate for now since Apple won’t be discussing its headset plans at Wednesday’s event.Roster ChangesApple’s Jane Horvath.Photographer: David Becker/Getty ImagesApple’s chief privacy officer to depart for law firm.Jane Horvath is just one of a few Apple executives to hold a “chief officer” title, and now she is leaving the iPhone maker for a role at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, which is essentially the tech company’s law firm of record. Privacy has been a key talking point for Apple’s marketing department and Horvath was the face of that effort at industry events, including one in Las Vegas at CES in 2020.One of Apple’s Lexus test cars with its self-driving technology.Source: BloombergApple hires a self-driving sensors expert from Hyundai. Another executive from the car world has joined Apple’s automotive team: Gregory Baratoff. He was most recently the vice president in charge of autonomous sensors at Hyundai MOBIS, a car parts supplier. Before that, he worked at the German automotive component maker Continental AG. At Apple, Baratoff is probably helping with the company’s self-driving sensors, one of the most important components in a self-driving car.The DiDi iPhone app.Photographer: Paul Yeung/BloombergApple leaves DiDi’s board years after making $1 billion investment. Apple quietly left the board of controversial China-based ride-sharing company DiDi Global Inc. in early August. The business was once hailed as the Uber of China and Apple believed so much in its potential that it invested $1 billion in the company, which was an extremely rare move for the iPhone maker.Upon its investment, Apple got a board seat and gave it to its mergers-and-acquisitions chief Adrian Perica. Now Perica is off the board. Here’s the announcement in its entirety:BEIJING, August 4, 2022 – DiDi Global Inc. today announced that Mr. Adrian Perica has resigned from the board.Apple probably lost about $800 million on the 2016 investment, according to Loup Funds’ Gene Munster.ScheduleTim Cook and with Jony Ive.Photographer: Brittany Hosea-Small/AFPWednesday, Sept. 7: Apple’s big day. After a couple years of mostly virtual presentations, Tim Cook is poised for two in-person events on the same day. I’ll be covering both live, so stay tuned.First...the company will hold its fall iPhone and Apple Watch event. It’s the first product launch of the season and will include an in-person portion for media at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California. It also will be livestreamed. As for what’s on tap: Expect the iPhone 14 line and new AirPods to be unveiled, along with three Apple Watches: a standard edition, a lower-end SE version and the product’s first Pro model.Then…a discussion of Steve Jobs’s legacy.Cook will join former Chief Design Officer Jony Ive and Laurene Powell Jobs (the founder of the Emerson Collective and Steve Jobs’s widow) to discuss the lasting impact of Apple’s visionary co-founder. Tech journalist Kara Swisher is interviewing the trio as part of the Code Conference in Beverly Hills, California. Ive is known to be close friends with Powell Jobs but his relationship with Apple recently ended—and that may make for some interesting moments.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":277,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9933247026,"gmtCreate":1662305642566,"gmtModify":1676537033842,"author":{"id":"3581295915321286","authorId":"3581295915321286","name":"DragonLee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9933247026","repostId":"2264420308","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2264420308","pubTimestamp":1662255293,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2264420308?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-04 09:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Warren Buffet Can't Get Enough of Apple Stock. Should You Buy Now?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2264420308","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Buffett is open about his admiration for Apple, and its financial results back up his comments.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Warren Buffett&#39;s company, Berkshire Hathaway, bought its first shares of <b>Apple</b> in Q1 2016. The company continued adding to its position through 2018. After selling some of its shares through 2020, Berkshire reignited a buying spree of its favorite stock in 2022.</p><p>At the end of Q2 2022, Berkshire owned 895 million Apple shares, making up nearly 43% of the company&#39;s stock portfolio. Alternatively, the stake represents about 22.5% of Berkshire&#39;s market cap and about 5.6% of all outstanding Apple shares. The stake makes Berkshire the third-largest shareholder behind index giants Vanguard and BlackRock.</p><p>Regarding Apple, Buffett has remarked that it&#39;s probably the best business he knows of in the world and that the iPhone is a &#34;sticky&#34; product that keeps people within the company&#39;s ecosystem. Those comments speak to Buffett&#39;s voracious appetite for Apple shares, but what does he mean by &#34;sticky&#34;?</p><h2>A sticky product</h2><p>The iPhone&#39;s history of fanciful design, advanced cameras, and innovative features has helped the smartphone attract a loyal following. The iPhone commands roughly half of the U.S. smartphone market and 17% of the global market. Making it cool is one way to design a sticky product, but there is more to the story.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bb2cc36a752db62517f3cf25744ba26\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>iPhone users will gladly tell you about the services included in the smartphone&#39;s ecosystem. For a small fee, users can store pictures and other data on an iCloud account, download songs from Apple Music, and set up touchless payments with Apple Pay. Buffett may think the iPhone is sticky in part because he believes that once a customer builds a lifetime of selfies and family photos, they&#39;re more likely to buy another iPhone when the time comes. Otherwise, accessing pictures becomes a cumbersome process if customers switch smartphones.</p><p>Likewise, iPhone customers who have taken the time to connect their bank accounts and cards to Apple Pay will have to reconnect each one if they switch to a competing smartphone. Apple&#39;s ecosystem creates a flywheel effect whereby the iPhone&#39;s popularity begets services, and those services beget the next iPhone purchase. As Apple collects new iPhone customers over time, its sticky flywheel ecosystem strengthens.</p><p>Here are some numbers that back Buffett&#39;s comments. The company launched Apple in 2015 with 6.5 million paid subscribers and reported 78 million in June 2021, implying annual compounded growth of greater than 50%. JPMorgan forecasts that Apple Music will reach 110 million paid subs by 2025. Meanwhile, Apple Pay dominates mobile wallet payments, representing 92% of mobile wallet payments in 2020, when the COVD-19 pandemic opened the floodgates for contactless payments, which are expected to grow by 29% annually through 2028.</p><p>The iPhone&#39;s compelling combination of untamed popularity and entrenching ecosystem was demonstrated in Q2 2022 smartphone industry analysis. It showed that sky-high inflation and macroeconomic uncertainty reduced year-over-year smartphone shipments by 8.7%, which was short of estimates. Bucking the trend, iPhone shipments grew .5% in the quarter. The first quarter was even more eye-opening. Global shipments fell 11%, but iPhone shipments increased 8%.</p><h2>Should you buy Apple right now?</h2><p>Though Buffett has touted the stickiness of Apple&#39;s products, the economics of Apple&#39;s services segment is staggering. For instance, due to its captive audience of loyal iPhone users, Apple can push Apple Pay, Apple Music, iCloud storage, and other services for virtually no cost. On top of that, there is very little ongoing cost to adding new service customers. Therefore, each new dollar of revenue increases margin.</p><p>In 2017, when Apple first disclosed financial results for its services segment, it generated $32.7 billion in revenue and a gross margin of $17.9 billion. By 2021, services revenue had roughly doubled to $68.4 billion, and gross margin grew 2.6 times to $47.7 billion. The implication for investors is that as Apple&#39;s services business grows, the company generates more cash, a trait adored by Buffett.</p><p>The stock has fallen 13% this year and trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 26 times, which has come down from highs above 40 in 2020.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/75157a18bc8214ddf049b9e6a6178fa0\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>AAPL PE Ratio data by YCharts</p><p>Interestingly, the multiples Buffett paid for Apple stock in the first two quarters of 2022 were visibly higher than when he started accumulating shares in 2016. But Apple is a company that increases in value over time.

The company continued adding to its position through 2018. After selling some of its shares through 2020, Berkshire reignited a buying spree of its favorite stock in 2022.At the end of Q2 2022, Berkshire owned 895 million Apple shares, making up nearly 43% of the company's stock portfolio. Alternatively, the stake represents about 22.5% of Berkshire's market cap and about 5.6% of all outstanding Apple shares. The stake makes Berkshire the third-largest shareholder behind index giants Vanguard and BlackRock.Regarding Apple, Buffett has remarked that it's probably the best business he knows of in the world and that the iPhone is a \"sticky\" product that keeps people within the company's ecosystem. Those comments speak to Buffett's voracious appetite for Apple shares, but what does he mean by \"sticky\"?A sticky productThe iPhone's history of fanciful design, advanced cameras, and innovative features has helped the smartphone attract a loyal following. The iPhone commands roughly half of the U.S. smartphone market and 17% of the global market. Making it cool is one way to design a sticky product, but there is more to the story.Image source: Getty Images.iPhone users will gladly tell you about the services included in the smartphone's ecosystem. For a small fee, users can store pictures and other data on an iCloud account, download songs from Apple Music, and set up touchless payments with Apple Pay. Buffett may think the iPhone is sticky in part because he believes that once a customer builds a lifetime of selfies and family photos, they're more likely to buy another iPhone when the time comes. Otherwise, accessing pictures becomes a cumbersome process if customers switch smartphones.Likewise, iPhone customers who have taken the time to connect their bank accounts and cards to Apple Pay will have to reconnect each one if they switch to a competing smartphone. Apple's ecosystem creates a flywheel effect whereby the iPhone's popularity begets services, and those services beget the next iPhone purchase. As Apple collects new iPhone customers over time, its sticky flywheel ecosystem strengthens.Here are some numbers that back Buffett's comments. The company launched Apple in 2015 with 6.5 million paid subscribers and reported 78 million in June 2021, implying annual compounded growth of greater than 50%. JPMorgan forecasts that Apple Music will reach 110 million paid subs by 2025. Meanwhile, Apple Pay dominates mobile wallet payments, representing 92% of mobile wallet payments in 2020, when the COVD-19 pandemic opened the floodgates for contactless payments, which are expected to grow by 29% annually through 2028.The iPhone's compelling combination of untamed popularity and entrenching ecosystem was demonstrated in Q2 2022 smartphone industry analysis. It showed that sky-high inflation and macroeconomic uncertainty reduced year-over-year smartphone shipments by 8.7%, which was short of estimates. Bucking the trend, iPhone shipments grew .5% in the quarter. The first quarter was even more eye-opening. Global shipments fell 11%, but iPhone shipments increased 8%.Should you buy Apple right now?Though Buffett has touted the stickiness of Apple's products, the economics of Apple's services segment is staggering. For instance, due to its captive audience of loyal iPhone users, Apple can push Apple Pay, Apple Music, iCloud storage, and other services for virtually no cost. On top of that, there is very little ongoing cost to adding new service customers. Therefore, each new dollar of revenue increases margin.In 2017, when Apple first disclosed financial results for its services segment, it generated $32.7 billion in revenue and a gross margin of $17.9 billion. By 2021, services revenue had roughly doubled to $68.4 billion, and gross margin grew 2.6 times to $47.7 billion. The implication for investors is that as Apple's services business grows, the company generates more cash, a trait adored by Buffett.The stock has fallen 13% this year and trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 26 times, which has come down from highs above 40 in 2020.AAPL PE Ratio data by YChartsInterestingly, the multiples Buffett paid for Apple stock in the first two quarters of 2022 were visibly higher than when he started accumulating shares in 2016. But Apple is a company that increases in value over time. Value and growth investors alike should see the stock's tumble as an opportunity to emulate the world's most renowned investor by adding Apple to their portfolios.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":218,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9939471305,"gmtCreate":1662164910507,"gmtModify":1676537009524,"author":{"id":"3581295915321286","authorId":"3581295915321286","name":"DragonLee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9939471305","repostId":"2264473303","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":299,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9995365788,"gmtCreate":1661412535448,"gmtModify":1676536514204,"author":{"id":"3581295915321286","authorId":"3581295915321286","name":"DragonLee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Misleading title","listText":"Misleading title","text":"Misleading title","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9995365788","repostId":"1149065736","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1149065736","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1661395745,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1149065736?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-25 10:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Alibaba, Nio And Other Stocks' Trading Has Been Suspended In Hong Kong Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1149065736","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Trading of stocks and derivatives on the Hong Kong bourse was suspended on Thursday morning due to t","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Trading of stocks and derivatives on the Hong Kong bourse was suspended on Thursday morning due to the issuance of Typhoon Signal No. 8.</p><p>What Happened: The Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) said if Typhoon Signal No. 8 or above, or any announcement of &#34;extreme conditions&#34;, remains at 9:00 am, the morning trading sessions for all markets will be canceled.</p><p>If such an announcement is canceled at or before noon, products of HKEX’s securities and derivatives markets will resume trading in the afternoon.</p><p>Trading will begin in the first half hour approximately two hours after the discontinuation of Typhoon Signal No. 8 or any extreme conditions announcement, HKEX said.</p><p><b>Global Macro and Markets</b>: The Bank of Korea on Thursday raised its interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.5%, in line with expectations.</p><p>Hong Kong is expected to report July’s trade data, while Japan’s latest Producer Price Index for July is due later in the day.</p><p>U.S. futures were trading higher on Thursday morning Asia session.</p><p>The Dow Jones futures were up 0.11%, while the Nasdaq futures gained 0.27%.

The deal was contingent upon Unity dissolving its previous merger agreement with ironSource -- a direct rival to AppLovin.

Unity believes ironSource's deal \"is compelling and will deliver an opportunity to generate long-term value\" -- which seems like the right decision.</p><p>While AppLovin's proposal might have overshadowed Unity's second-quarter earnings, there was a lot of information in the report that is more valuable to shareholders -- information that signals impressive execution in an emerging segment of Unity's business.</p><div> <div></div></div><h2>Unity's hidden gem</h2><p>Unity is known for helping developers build video games, and it is the dominant platform in that space: Unity currently powers over 70% of the top mobile games, as well as 72% of the top-selling games in the virtual reality gaming market on <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a></strong>' <span>(NASDAQ: META)</span> Oculus Quest in Q2 in July.</p><p>Unity's Create Solutions -- which helps businesses develop high-definition virtual three-dimension content -- saw noteworthy expansion across the board in Q2, with revenue from this segment jumping 66% year over year to $121 million.

Unity can even help retailers create digital replicas of their stores to give consumers a unique online shopping experience. </p><div><app :collapse_on_load=\"false\" :instrument_id=\"343100\" :show_benchmark_compare=\"false\" amount_change=\"-3.47\" average_volume=\"11,070,881\" company_name=\"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/U\">Unity Software Inc.</a>\" current_price=\"47.67\" daily_high=\"50.00\" daily_low=\"47.02\" default_period=\"FiveYear\" exchange=\"NYSE\" fifty_two_week_high=\"210.00\" fifty_two_week_low=\"29.09\" logo=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/art/companylogos/mark/U.png\" market_cap=\"$14B\" pe_ratio=\"\" percent_change=\"-6.79\" quote=\"{'instrument_id': 343100, 'name': 'Unity Software Inc.', 'exchange': 'NYSE', 'symbol': 'U', 'primary': True, 'quote_data': {'amount_change': {'Currency': 1, 'Amount': '-3.47'}, 'current_price': {'Currency': 1, 'Amount': '47.67'}, 'percent_change': '-6.79', 'market_cap': '$14B', 'daily_low': '47.02', 'daily_high': '50.00', 'fifty_two_week_low': '29.09', 'fifty_two_week_high': '210.00', 'volume': '5,929,983', 'average_volume': '11,070,881', 'pe_ratio': '', 'last_trade_date': datetime.datetime(2022, 8, 19, 16, 0, tzinfo=datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(days=-1, seconds=72000), 'EDT'))}}\" symbol=\"U\" volume=\"5,929,983\"></app></div><p>This is vital to Unity because it unlocks an additional opportunity for the company.

So naturally, the merger of ironSource and Unity was huge news in the industry. However, what really sparked controversy was when AppLovin subsequently offered to buy Unity on Aug. 9, 2022.Since AppLovin made the offer on the same day Unity reported earnings, the proposed merger overshadowed Unity's earnings report. This caused investors to miss one major piece of the company's earnings report -- something that signals success in a lucrative market for Unity.Image source: Getty Images.What took the spotlightAppLovin's recent proposal fell on deaf ears after Unity Software officially rejected the company's offer. AppLovin helps mobile apps monetize and grow their businesses, while Unity is one of the leading platforms enabling developers to create and build games. AppLovin pinned the combined company's enterprise value at $20 billion in the all-stock deal, hoping to combine forces to create a mobile app and game developer superhub.AppLovin Corporation\" current_price=\"26.93\" daily_high=\"28.37\" daily_low=\"26.82\" default_period=\"YTD\" exchange=\"NASDAQ\" fifty_two_week_high=\"116.09\" fifty_two_week_low=\"26.82\" logo=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/art/companylogos/mark/APP.png\" market_cap=\"$10B\" pe_ratio=\"\" percent_change=\"-7.04\" quote=\"{'instrument_id': 344286, 'name': 'AppLovin Corporation', 'exchange': 'NASDAQ', 'symbol': 'APP', 'primary': False, 'quote_data': {'amount_change': {'Currency': 1, 'Amount': '-2.04'}, 'current_price': {'Currency': 1, 'Amount': '26.93'}, 'percent_change': '-7.04', 'market_cap': '$10B', 'daily_low': '26.82', 'daily_high': '28.37', 'fifty_two_week_low': '26.82', 'fifty_two_week_high': '116.09', 'volume': '3,871,785', 'average_volume': '3,105,556', 'pe_ratio': '', 'last_trade_date': datetime.datetime(2022, 8, 19, 20, 0)}}\" symbol=\"APP\" volume=\"3,871,785\">Why did Unity reject AppLovin's offer? The deal was contingent upon Unity dissolving its previous merger agreement with ironSource -- a direct rival to AppLovin. Given this, it seems like the true purpose of AppLovin's deal was to break up what could be a formidable competitor, but it failed. Unity believes ironSource's deal \"is compelling and will deliver an opportunity to generate long-term value\" -- which seems like the right decision.While AppLovin's proposal might have overshadowed Unity's second-quarter earnings, there was a lot of information in the report that is more valuable to shareholders -- information that signals impressive execution in an emerging segment of Unity's business. Unity's hidden gemUnity is known for helping developers build video games, and it is the dominant platform in that space: Unity currently powers over 70% of the top mobile games, as well as 72% of the top-selling games in the virtual reality gaming market on Meta Platforms' (NASDAQ: META) Oculus Quest in Q2 in July.Unity's Create Solutions -- which helps businesses develop high-definition virtual three-dimension content -- saw noteworthy expansion across the board in Q2, with revenue from this segment jumping 66% year over year to $121 million. However, not all of this came from game developers: 40% of this revenue now comes from outside gaming, up from 25% in 2021. Other businesses are using Unity's Create Solutions to develop high-definition virtual worlds. Unity serves multiple industries, from film to construction to retail. For example, a retail store can use Unity to digitally visualize store layouts, optimize product placement, and increase efficiency. Unity can even help retailers create digital replicas of their stores to give consumers a unique online shopping experience.

On a fundamental level, the company has always looked like a significant investment. However, fears of delisting and political tensions have prevented the stock from shining. More recently, the genuine threat of COVID lockdowns has damaged growth.</p><p>However, in the latest quarter, we saw glimmers of hope. Not only did BABA maintain its revenues in hard times, but it is also addressing one of investors&#39; main concerns with the company for years: profitability.</p><p>On the one hand, we have early signs that BABA’s worst moments may be behind it. And on the other, we have imminent signs that the PBOC is ready to start easing monetary policy again, just as the economy and inflation seem to be slowing down.</p><p>It is time to inflate the BABA bubble once more.</p><p><b>Early Signs of Recovery</b></p><p>In my last article on BABA, I talked about the risks surrounding de-listing and the threat of war. While these risks are still present, BABA has shown encouraging results.</p><p>Alibaba has had a tough year. The Chinese government has been harsher with COVID lockdowns, which has hurt BABA at a time when the stock market, especially tech stocks, was crashing fast.</p><p>However, the recent results published at the beginning of the month have shown encouraging results. BABA delivered a solid beat on both revenue and earnings.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2d0b0d519f251f51c563af60de4e42d8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"424\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>BABA revenues(Investor Presentation)</p><p>As we can see in the slide above, BABA achieved a slight growth in most of its main segments, but China commerce, responsible for 69% of revenues, fell YoY by 1%. With that said, operating income took a bigger hit, down nearly 20% YoY, and Earnings per ADS were down 29%.</p><p><b>Alibaba is Addressing Its Issues</b></p><p>Growth has been challenging in the last year, but the company has faced an unprecedented situation as the CCP enforced some of the harshest COVID restrictions worldwide.</p><p>That said, it is clear that Alibaba is set to keep growing and dominating Chinese commerce. The concern for investors isn’t growth but rather profitability. Luckily, this is precisely the area where Alibaba is trying its hardest to improve.</p><p>For starters, despite worse margins and a hard year, Alibaba has still managed to grow its free cash flow:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8a2f9efabd4046dfbaed60c577fce103\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"213\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>BABA cash flow(Investor Presentation)</p><p>On top of this, in June, Alibaba trimmed its employee count by 10% amid the recent sales slowdown. The CEO recently discussed profitability as one of BABA’s primary concerns. In the earnings call, he mentioned that the company was looking to narrow losses in various segments, including the delivery unit.</p><p>Now, clearly, Alibaba has to continue to grow, and the Commerce segment has tight margins. However, we have all seen just how much profitability Cloud has given Amazon Inc (AMZN), and despite the challenges, this segment grew by 10%. Moving forward, BABA can reign in costs in its other sectors and recover the previous growth in Cloud, it will become much more profitable.</p><p>It’s time to start blowing bubbles.</p><p>Alibaba is one of the largest companies in China. It addresses consumers&#39; needs, which is why its growth is tied to the economy&#39;s strength and consumer spending.</p><p>China has been leading the way in many areas in the last decade, and in the last few months, it has also led the way in this recession. Chinese home prices, for example, have been leading the worldwide decline:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35c1af45f504275165723c3ebe3d0b2c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"326\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Housing Market(Bloomberg)</p><p>As we can see above, Chinese house sales started to decline in 2021. Meanwhile, the US housing market is showing signs of weakness.</p><p>We also see signs that China’s inflation levels may have peaked too. Below we have the CPI and PPI for China.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/97c17b3772b365b45fb190690b8ea518\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"361\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>CPI and PPI(National Bureau of Statistics)</p><p>As we can see, after Production Prices peaked in early 2021, we have seen a steady fall. Add to this falling commodity prices in the last month and lower projected worldwide demand, and it looks like China’s inflation may have stopped.</p><p>With inflation peaking, and recent economic data showing slowing economic growth, the People’s Bank of China has not hesitated to step in and lower medium-term rates byten basis points. A return to loose monetary policy is no longer speculation but reality, at least in the world’s second-largest economy.</p><p>This opens the door to another liquidity-induced stock market rally. China’s Central Bank has cut its one-year rate to 2.75%. This still leaves much room for further cuts in months to come.</p><p>This would add liquidity to the stock market and directly increase the spending capabilities of Chinese consumers, which are BABA’s primary source of income. In 2020, the stock market rallied against all odds amid a worldwide pandemic. If history repeats itself, we could face another “counterintuitive” rally just as the world enters a global recession. If so, BABA could be one of the best stocks to ride the next wave up.</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>With the return of loose monetary policy, it’s only reasonable to assume that BABA could regain the kind of valuation multiples it held in the past. Using analyst estimates and historical P/E ratios, we can reach a target price for the company:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3adf2cb86992471875e08f7bb5cfe22\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"203\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Consensus EPS(Seeking Alpha)</p><p>Analysts expect that by March 2025, BABA could attain EPS of just under $10. This would lead to a PE of 8.98. BABA’s average 5-year P/E has been close to 30. so even if we assume a conservative P/E of 20, this would imply shares could increase by over 100%.</p><p>A similar valuation using P/S multiples leads to an even more bullish outlook, with BABA share appreciating by over 300%.</p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>The risks with BABA are well known, and these were the focus of my last piece on BABA. However, since I wrote this piece, geopolitical tensions have escalated, which poses another risk to BABA.

On a fundamental level, the company has always looked like a significant investment. However, fears of delisting and political tensions have prevented the stock from shining. More recently, the genuine threat of COVID lockdowns has damaged growth.However, in the latest quarter, we saw glimmers of hope. Not only did BABA maintain its revenues in hard times, but it is also addressing one of investors' main concerns with the company for years: profitability.On the one hand, we have early signs that BABA’s worst moments may be behind it. And on the other, we have imminent signs that the PBOC is ready to start easing monetary policy again, just as the economy and inflation seem to be slowing down.It is time to inflate the BABA bubble once more.Early Signs of RecoveryIn my last article on BABA, I talked about the risks surrounding de-listing and the threat of war. While these risks are still present, BABA has shown encouraging results.Alibaba has had a tough year. The Chinese government has been harsher with COVID lockdowns, which has hurt BABA at a time when the stock market, especially tech stocks, was crashing fast.However, the recent results published at the beginning of the month have shown encouraging results. BABA delivered a solid beat on both revenue and earnings.BABA revenues(Investor Presentation)As we can see in the slide above, BABA achieved a slight growth in most of its main segments, but China commerce, responsible for 69% of revenues, fell YoY by 1%. With that said, operating income took a bigger hit, down nearly 20% YoY, and Earnings per ADS were down 29%.Alibaba is Addressing Its IssuesGrowth has been challenging in the last year, but the company has faced an unprecedented situation as the CCP enforced some of the harshest COVID restrictions worldwide.That said, it is clear that Alibaba is set to keep growing and dominating Chinese commerce. The concern for investors isn’t growth but rather profitability. Luckily, this is precisely the area where Alibaba is trying its hardest to improve.For starters, despite worse margins and a hard year, Alibaba has still managed to grow its free cash flow:BABA cash flow(Investor Presentation)On top of this, in June, Alibaba trimmed its employee count by 10% amid the recent sales slowdown. The CEO recently discussed profitability as one of BABA’s primary concerns. In the earnings call, he mentioned that the company was looking to narrow losses in various segments, including the delivery unit.Now, clearly, Alibaba has to continue to grow, and the Commerce segment has tight margins. However, we have all seen just how much profitability Cloud has given Amazon Inc (AMZN), and despite the challenges, this segment grew by 10%. Moving forward, BABA can reign in costs in its other sectors and recover the previous growth in Cloud, it will become much more profitable.It’s time to start blowing bubbles.Alibaba is one of the largest companies in China. It addresses consumers' needs, which is why its growth is tied to the economy's strength and consumer spending.China has been leading the way in many areas in the last decade, and in the last few months, it has also led the way in this recession. Chinese home prices, for example, have been leading the worldwide decline:Housing Market(Bloomberg)As we can see above, Chinese house sales started to decline in 2021. Meanwhile, the US housing market is showing signs of weakness.We also see signs that China’s inflation levels may have peaked too. Below we have the CPI and PPI for China.CPI and PPI(National Bureau of Statistics)As we can see, after Production Prices peaked in early 2021, we have seen a steady fall. Add to this falling commodity prices in the last month and lower projected worldwide demand, and it looks like China’s inflation may have stopped.With inflation peaking, and recent economic data showing slowing economic growth, the People’s Bank of China has not hesitated to step in and lower medium-term rates byten basis points. A return to loose monetary policy is no longer speculation but reality, at least in the world’s second-largest economy.This opens the door to another liquidity-induced stock market rally. China’s Central Bank has cut its one-year rate to 2.75%. This still leaves much room for further cuts in months to come.This would add liquidity to the stock market and directly increase the spending capabilities of Chinese consumers, which are BABA’s primary source of income. In 2020, the stock market rallied against all odds amid a worldwide pandemic. If history repeats itself, we could face another “counterintuitive” rally just as the world enters a global recession. If so, BABA could be one of the best stocks to ride the next wave up.ValuationWith the return of loose monetary policy, it’s only reasonable to assume that BABA could regain the kind of valuation multiples it held in the past. Using analyst estimates and historical P/E ratios, we can reach a target price for the company:Consensus EPS(Seeking Alpha)Analysts expect that by March 2025, BABA could attain EPS of just under $10. This would lead to a PE of 8.98. BABA’s average 5-year P/E has been close to 30. so even if we assume a conservative P/E of 20, this would imply shares could increase by over 100%.A similar valuation using P/S multiples leads to an even more bullish outlook, with BABA share appreciating by over 300%.RisksThe risks with BABA are well known, and these were the focus of my last piece on BABA. However, since I wrote this piece, geopolitical tensions have escalated, which poses another risk to BABA. Add to this regulatory pressure and delisting fears, and understandably, many investors will stay away from this.However, I believe that with the help of the PBOC, BABA could stage a strong recovery. And as the price picks up, investors will begin to pile into this name again.TakeawayAlibaba is an excellent company in a delicate position. Nonetheless, war doesn’t benefit anyone, and China has shown it will do everything it can to support its economy, which means supporting BABA too.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":75,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9996292728,"gmtCreate":1661173198366,"gmtModify":1676536466483,"author":{"id":"3581295915321286","authorId":"3581295915321286","name":"DragonLee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Al.

This was not the first news of attempts by Masayoshi Son, who was one of the first investors in BABA in 2000, to get rid of the company&#39;s shares - according to a press release from the bank, derivative tradeshave been made since 2016. However, $14 billion in 2020 was quite a large amount, and in the medium term, BABA shares began to correct more than the main benchmarks:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/96b0ceefb3d3bed3af27a07fdd9d3a81\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Now we see that Softbank faced the problem of deflating the bubble in high-growth companies after the Corona crisis, and will now further reduce its stake in Alibaba stock (from the current 23.7% to 14.6% after settling $34 billion in prepaid forward contracts).</p><p>As from the very beginning of my coverage of Alibaba stock here on Seeking Alpha, I still believe that investors should not follow on the heels of Charlie Munger - there are too many risks in buying this stock, both geopolitical (U.S.-China tensions, Taiwan) and economic (China&#39;s GDP growth slowdown and housing crisis). The pressure on BABA&#39;s quotes is likely to continue due to these two factors, and Softbank&#39;s sale of forward contracts for such a large amount may add to the headwinds for shareholders.</p><p>Masayoshi Son vs. Charlie Munger</p><p>One of the most frequently cited arguments for buying BABA after its phenomenal &gt;50% off high dip is the fact that one of the most famous Western investors, Charlie Munger, bought and held the stock. According to the 13-F filings by his Daily Journal Corp, the 98-year-old investor began buying BABA in the first quarter of 2021 and gradually increased his position throughout 2021 (from 165,320 shares in the first quarter to 602,060 shares in the fourth quarter) until he decided to sell half of the position in the first quarter of 2022 and has not touched BABA since (which is interpreted by some as a bullish sign).</p><p>In my subjective opinion, a 50% reduction of BABA&#39;s position in Daily Journal Corp. in the first quarter is already a sign of Mr. Munger&#39;s capitulation, as this act is not typical of his position in BofA (BAC) or Wells Fargo (WFC) - compare the position size as of the last reporting date [link above] with the portfolio at the end of 2013 to see for yourself.</p><p>Concerning the unchanged amount of BABA shares in the last reporting quarter, it should be noted that other positions have also remained unchanged - Munger has simply decided not to buy or sell anything.

This was not the first news of attempts by Masayoshi Son, who was one of the first investors in BABA in 2000, to get rid of the company's shares - according to a press release from the bank, derivative tradeshave been made since 2016. However, $14 billion in 2020 was quite a large amount, and in the medium term, BABA shares began to correct more than the main benchmarks:Now we see that Softbank faced the problem of deflating the bubble in high-growth companies after the Corona crisis, and will now further reduce its stake in Alibaba stock (from the current 23.7% to 14.6% after settling $34 billion in prepaid forward contracts).As from the very beginning of my coverage of Alibaba stock here on Seeking Alpha, I still believe that investors should not follow on the heels of Charlie Munger - there are too many risks in buying this stock, both geopolitical (U.S.-China tensions, Taiwan) and economic (China's GDP growth slowdown and housing crisis). The pressure on BABA's quotes is likely to continue due to these two factors, and Softbank's sale of forward contracts for such a large amount may add to the headwinds for shareholders.Masayoshi Son vs. Charlie MungerOne of the most frequently cited arguments for buying BABA after its phenomenal >50% off high dip is the fact that one of the most famous Western investors, Charlie Munger, bought and held the stock. According to the 13-F filings by his Daily Journal Corp, the 98-year-old investor began buying BABA in the first quarter of 2021 and gradually increased his position throughout 2021 (from 165,320 shares in the first quarter to 602,060 shares in the fourth quarter) until he decided to sell half of the position in the first quarter of 2022 and has not touched BABA since (which is interpreted by some as a bullish sign).In my subjective opinion, a 50% reduction of BABA's position in Daily Journal Corp. in the first quarter is already a sign of Mr. Munger's capitulation, as this act is not typical of his position in BofA (BAC) or Wells Fargo (WFC) - compare the position size as of the last reporting date [link above] with the portfolio at the end of 2013 to see for yourself.Concerning the unchanged amount of BABA shares in the last reporting quarter, it should be noted that other positions have also remained unchanged - Munger has simply decided not to buy or sell anything. The great investor of the 20th century will likely continue to get rid of his position in Alibaba stock, in my view, if the risks in China escalate. Remember what he said about Russian stocks many years ago (emphasis added):When asked about Russia, Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett’s partner at Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B), harrumphed: \"We don’t invest in kleptocracies.\" One investor famously declared after the market’s meltdown in 1998: \"I’d rather eat nuclear waste than invest in Russia.\"[Source]If you have been buying BABA solely on Munger's moves, then I must warn you: if you look at the performance of his Daily Journal Corp [based on Fintel data from 13-Fs], he has not been able to boast of excessive returns for many years:Important note:the reported value (RV) above should not be used as a substitute for Assets Under Management (AUM), as it does not include cash held in accounts.However, RV depletion is also an important criterion to consider.I think the risks of investing in the Chinese market are becoming more evident every year. While the country's GDP grew 6-10% annually from the early 1990s until the pandemic began, these risks were ignored by many Western investors. We saw it even more positively when the Chinese GDP began to recover sharply after the 2020 lockdowns. Now, however, the prospects for similar growth rates are vague, as the real estate market, which has largely allowed China to report huge GDP growth rates in the past, is highly leveraged and in crisis, and the country's overall population is likely to start shrinking due to the low birth rate (which largely precludes the growth of the economy extensively).As recently as 2019 the China Academy of Social Sciences expected the population to peak in 2029, at 1.44 billion.

For example, if you were searching for some Bluetooth earbuds on your internet browser or Amazon (AMZN) app, Facebook and Instagram were able to gain access to that data and send you targeted advertisements for the same earbuds you looked at earlier that day. This gave advertisers a degree of certainty and high return on ad dollars spent. Therefore, advertisers were willing to pay more.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1cb33a5b1bf10039af7a5a3ff6ea45d0\" tg-width=\"866\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Apple&#39;s iOS Update(Vox)</p><p>When Apple (AAPL) introduced prompts to block cross-app tracking, Meta said it would be about a $10 billion hit to its revenue. Now, here&#39;s the part that scares us: Android has an 86% share of the global market, versus Apple&#39;s 14% market share. According to CNBC, Android will be following in Apple&#39;s footsteps come 2024:</p><blockquote>&#34;Googleon Wednesday announcedit’s adopting new privacy restrictions that will cut tracking across apps on its Android devices, following a similar move made by Apple last year that upended several firms’ advertising practices.&#34;</blockquote><p>The not so bad news is that Meta has two years to prepare for these privacy changes from Android. Also, Android is concentrated in emerging markets, while Apple enjoys a large share in developed markets, such as the U.S.:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51084a33e7ea78e04354b778057c7468\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"1200\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Market Share By Country(Statista)</p><p>Meanwhile, Europe is also cracking down on data privacy, causing Facebook and Instagram to threaten to pull their platforms from the continent:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dd749aac82cd77d773f7d78a9280c82d\" tg-width=\"618\" tg-height=\"275\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Article Headline(The Drum)</p><p><b>Peaks And Valleys Of The Ad Business</b></p><p>As stocks like Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL) and Meta correct, investors are beginning to shift their focus from the perpetual growth of the ad business, to the cyclicality of the ad business. While the shift to online ads continues, it may slow as data privacy takes a toll on the value proposition. Meanwhile, history has shown that advertising spend rises and falls with the economic cycle. Ad spend dropped off in 2001, 2008, and 2020:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5bd6ae126c1889f27ad51791f592de6a\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"1980\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p><b>The Rise And Fall Of Ad Spend</b><b>(Visual Capitalist)</b></p><p>Advertising spiked in an enormous way in 2021. There&#39;s reason to believe that, come 2023, it&#39;ll drop off again. The unemployment rate shows us that the economy is still overheated in the United States. In recent history, every time unemployment reached 4%, it was followed by a recession. We&#39;re currently at 3.5%:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0502f53d432c1d76d84570b5d0478777\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"301\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>U.S. Unemployment Rate(Trading Economics)</p><p>All things considered, we expect weakness in Meta&#39;s earnings through to the end of 2024. Data privacy and cyclicality should take their toll. But, the stock&#39;s already fallen 55% from its highs, so let&#39;s take a look at long-term returns.</p><p><b>Long-term Returns</b></p><p>Looking out past 2024, Meta has a lot of promising growth drivers. The development of WhatsApp, the Metaverse, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Marketplace are all positives for the company.</p><p>Our 2032 price target from Meta is $464 per share, implying returns of 11% per annum.</p><ul><li>Over the next few years, we think consensus estimates have understated the effects ongoing data privacy will have on Meta&#39;s family of apps. Meta&#39;s revenue is likely to stagnant over the next few years, with margins falling slightly. Share buybacks, however, should cause Meta&#39;s earnings of $12.00 per share to remain unchanged through to the end of 2024. After this reset, the innovative leadership of Mark Zuckerberg and the company&#39;s industry tailwinds should propel it to grow EPS at 12% per annum, reaching $26.50 per share by 2032. We&#39;ve applied a terminal multiple of 17.5x earnings.</li></ul><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Meta certainly has issues in the short term. We think data privacy changes and the economic cycle will cause the company&#39;s revenue to stagnate over the next few years. Android&#39;s proposed changes to cross-app tracking compelled us to temper expectations. Looking out long-term, we still believe in the monetization of WhatsApp, Instagram Reels, the Metaverse, and Facebook Marketplace.

The company relies solely on its targeted ads.The short-term's likely to get ugly for advertising companies. Unemployment points to an overheated economy.But, Meta has long-term tailwinds with WhatsApp, the Metaverse, and digital ads.In the decade ahead, we project returns of 11% per annum.The ThesisWe previously called a bottom on Meta (NASDAQ:META) shares, with our article: \"Meta: This Is The Bottom.\" Following that article, the stock jumped from $160 to $183 per share, a nearly 15% bump. We decided to exit our position at $180 after learning more about the Android privacy changes coming down the pipe in 2024. We believe this is the main risk to Meta's profits in the short term, and that we need to reset our valuation. We're now projecting returns of 11% per annum, and maintain a \"buy\" rating on the shares.The Bear In The RoomArticle Headline(CNBC)Through to 2020, cross-app tracking on your smart phone made Facebook and Instagram's ads uncannily accurate. For example, if you were searching for some Bluetooth earbuds on your internet browser or Amazon (AMZN) app, Facebook and Instagram were able to gain access to that data and send you targeted advertisements for the same earbuds you looked at earlier that day. This gave advertisers a degree of certainty and high return on ad dollars spent. Therefore, advertisers were willing to pay more.Apple's iOS Update(Vox)When Apple (AAPL) introduced prompts to block cross-app tracking, Meta said it would be about a $10 billion hit to its revenue. Now, here's the part that scares us: Android has an 86% share of the global market, versus Apple's 14% market share. According to CNBC, Android will be following in Apple's footsteps come 2024:\"Googleon Wednesday announcedit’s adopting new privacy restrictions that will cut tracking across apps on its Android devices, following a similar move made by Apple last year that upended several firms’ advertising practices.\"The not so bad news is that Meta has two years to prepare for these privacy changes from Android. Also, Android is concentrated in emerging markets, while Apple enjoys a large share in developed markets, such as the U.S.:Market Share By Country(Statista)Meanwhile, Europe is also cracking down on data privacy, causing Facebook and Instagram to threaten to pull their platforms from the continent:Article Headline(The Drum)Peaks And Valleys Of The Ad BusinessAs stocks like Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL) and Meta correct, investors are beginning to shift their focus from the perpetual growth of the ad business, to the cyclicality of the ad business. While the shift to online ads continues, it may slow as data privacy takes a toll on the value proposition. Meanwhile, history has shown that advertising spend rises and falls with the economic cycle. Ad spend dropped off in 2001, 2008, and 2020:The Rise And Fall Of Ad Spend(Visual Capitalist)Advertising spiked in an enormous way in 2021. There's reason to believe that, come 2023, it'll drop off again. The unemployment rate shows us that the economy is still overheated in the United States. In recent history, every time unemployment reached 4%, it was followed by a recession. We're currently at 3.5%:U.S. Unemployment Rate(Trading Economics)All things considered, we expect weakness in Meta's earnings through to the end of 2024. Data privacy and cyclicality should take their toll. But, the stock's already fallen 55% from its highs, so let's take a look at long-term returns.Long-term ReturnsLooking out past 2024, Meta has a lot of promising growth drivers. The development of WhatsApp, the Metaverse, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Marketplace are all positives for the company.Our 2032 price target from Meta is $464 per share, implying returns of 11% per annum.Over the next few years, we think consensus estimates have understated the effects ongoing data privacy will have on Meta's family of apps. Meta's revenue is likely to stagnant over the next few years, with margins falling slightly. Share buybacks, however, should cause Meta's earnings of $12.00 per share to remain unchanged through to the end of 2024. After this reset, the innovative leadership of Mark Zuckerberg and the company's industry tailwinds should propel it to grow EPS at 12% per annum, reaching $26.50 per share by 2032. We've applied a terminal multiple of 17.5x earnings.ConclusionMeta certainly has issues in the short term. We think data privacy changes and the economic cycle will cause the company's revenue to stagnate over the next few years. Android's proposed changes to cross-app tracking compelled us to temper expectations. Looking out long-term, we still believe in the monetization of WhatsApp, Instagram Reels, the Metaverse, and Facebook Marketplace. These fundamental pillars will benefit from industry growth and increasing ad spend over time. This should cause Meta's growth to accelerate from 2025 to 2032. In the decade ahead, we expect Meta to deliver returns of 11% per annum and have a \"buy\" rating on the shares.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":70,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9030886093,"gmtCreate":1645682129417,"gmtModify":1676534053178,"author":{"id":"3581295915321286","authorId":"3581295915321286","name":"DragonLee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hold hold...","listText":"Hold hold...","text":"Hold hold...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9030886093","repostId":"2213091531","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2213091531","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1645658738,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2213091531?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-02-24 07:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Wall Street Extends Selloff on Ukraine Worries","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2213091531","media":"Reuters","summary":"* U.S. and allies keep tougher measures against Russia in reserve* Lowe's rises after upbeat outlook* Indexes: Dow down 1.4%, S&P 500 down 1.8%, Nasdaq down 2.6%NEW YORK, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Wall Stree","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>* U.S. and allies keep tougher measures against Russia in reserve</p><p>* Lowe&#39;s rises after upbeat outlook</p><p>* Indexes: Dow down 1.4%, S&amp;P 500 down 1.8%, Nasdaq down 2.6%</p><p>NEW YORK, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Wall Street&#39;s major indexes ended sharply lower on Wednesday, extending their recent rout as Ukraine declared a state of emergency and the U.S. State Department said a Russian invasion of Ukraine remains potentially imminent.</p><p>The State Department added that Washington has not seen any indication of Russians backing away, while the White House said President Joe Biden has no intention of sending U.S. troops to fight in Ukraine.</p><p>Earlier, the West unveiled more sanctions against Russia over its move into eastern Ukraine, and Moscow began evacuating its Kyiv embassy.</p><p>Nasdaq led the day&#39;s decline, falling more than 2%, while the information technology sector    dropped 2.6% and was the biggest drag on the S&amp;P 500.</p><p>&#34;If anything (Russian) President Putin is digging his heels in despite the increased sanctions,&#34; said Michael James, managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles. &#34;That&#39;s really adding to elevated nervousness about further aggressive actions and what that will mean for commodities and inflation overall.&#34;</p><p>The Dow came within a hair&#39;s breadth of confirming it was in a correction on Wednesday, while the S&amp;P 500 in the previous session confirmed it was in a correction when the index ended down more than 10% from its Jan. 3 closing record high.

According to the 13-F filings by his Daily Journal Corp, the 98-year-old investor began buying BABA in the first quarter of 2021 and gradually increased his position throughout 2021 (from 165,320 shares in the first quarter to 602,060 shares in the fourth quarter) until he decided to sell half of the position in the first quarter of 2022 and has not touched BABA since (which is interpreted by some as a bullish sign).</p><p>In my subjective opinion, a 50% reduction of BABA&#39;s position in Daily Journal Corp. in the first quarter is already a sign of Mr. Munger&#39;s capitulation, as this act is not typical of his position in BofA (BAC) or Wells Fargo (WFC) - compare the position size as of the last reporting date [link above] with the portfolio at the end of 2013 to see for yourself.</p><p>Concerning the unchanged amount of BABA shares in the last reporting quarter, it should be noted that other positions have also remained unchanged - Munger has simply decided not to buy or sell anything. The great investor of the 20th century will likely continue to get rid of his position in Alibaba stock, in my view, if the risks in China escalate. Remember what he said about Russian stocks many years ago (emphasis added):</p><blockquote>When asked about Russia, Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett’s partner at Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B), harrumphed: &#34;<i>We don’t invest in kleptocracies.</i>&#34; One investor famously declared after the market’s meltdown in 1998: &#34;I’d rather eat nuclear waste than invest in Russia.&#34;</blockquote><blockquote>[Source]</blockquote><p>If you have been buying BABA solely on Munger&#39;s moves, then I must warn you: if you look at the performance of his Daily Journal Corp [based on Fintel data from 13-Fs], he has not been able to boast of excessive returns for many years:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f172b8f0ac1e4673cf5741f21754470d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"420\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><b>Important note:</b>the reported value (RV) above should not be used as a substitute for Assets Under Management (AUM), as it does not include cash held in accounts.However, RV depletion is also an important criterion to consider.</p><p>I think the risks of investing in the Chinese market are becoming more evident every year. While the country&#39;s GDP grew 6-10% annually from the early 1990s until the pandemic began, these risks were ignored by many Western investors. We saw it even more positively when the Chinese GDP began to recover sharply after the 2020 lockdowns. Now, however, the prospects for similar growth rates are vague, as the real estate market, which has largely allowed China to report huge GDP growth rates in the past, is highly leveraged and in crisis, and the country&#39;s overall population is likely to start shrinking due to the low birth rate (which largely precludes the growth of the economy extensively).</p><blockquote>As recently as 2019 the China Academy of Social Sciences expected the population to peak in 2029, at 1.44 billion. The 2019 United Nations Population Prospects report expected the peak later still, in 2031-32, at 1.46 billion.</blockquote><blockquote>The Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences team predicts an annual average decline of 1.1% after 2021, pushing China&#39;s population down to 587 million in 2100, less than half of what it is today.</blockquote><blockquote>[Source]</blockquote><p>The accumulated problems of the Chinese regime drive Xi to continue trying to expand his sole power, because at first glance it seems more reliable to keep everything in one hand. Given the level of corruption in the country, we are dealing with a kleptocratic state - the reason why Munger avoided investing in Russia after 1998.</p><p>Aside from Masayoshi Son being forced to sell his shares in Alibaba, I think Softbank would have dumped its high stake in the company anyway, feeling the pressure from the Communist Party.</p><p>Exactly one year ago, Nikkei Asia published an article citing Son as to how he sees the pressure on China&#39;s tech sector.</p><blockquote>&#34;I strongly believe that China&#39;s AI technology and business model will continue to innovate,&#34; Son said in a news conference. &#34;However, in investment activities, various new regulations have begun, so I want to wait and see what kind of regulations are implemented and what kind of impact they have on the stock market.&#34;</blockquote><blockquote>[Source]</blockquote><p>A year later, he waited, looked around, and decided to reduce his stake in Alibaba from 23.7% to 14.6%.</p><p>This is a smart move that is not about flooding the market with shares all at once - under the terms of the forward contract, Mr. Son will have the right to buy back his BABA shares. However, it is unlikely that he will do so - in any case, we have not seen this happen since 2016. So, in the coming months, there will be a greater supply of Alibaba shares on the market, which will put additional pressure on prices against the backdrop of geopolitical and macroeconomic risks specific to China.</p><p>The company&#39;s financial profile doesn&#39;t help</p><p>The low multiples that made BABA&#39;s stock seem undervalued compared to U.S. tech giants have gotten even lower over the past six months - in line with the stock price:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a100fa0a41ade258d26db19f27c2313b\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"826\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>However, it turned out that this underestimation was evidence of the value trap - the slowdown in economic growth and regulatory problems were making themselves felt. Margins continued their downward trend, and the ratio of EBITDA to sales did not return to the level seen before COVID.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ceb0944814657934f262b18db7db4ec2\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"852\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Sales and earnings growth did not improve as investors expected, so the denominators for most valuation metrics became smaller than the numerators - Seeking Alpha&#39;s factor grade system changed the valuation metric in a negative direction for the company:</p><p>Readers will rightly wonder why the &#34;Profitability&#34; criterion is still rated &#34;A+&#34; against a backdrop of declining business margins and less than stellar ROE / ROA / ROIC indicators. The answer to this question lies in the elements of this criterion - the company&#39;s cash flow from operations (CFO) is the only reason for this superiority over the rest of the sector:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9f0ad942e9b19cfbee3de08d1b1b2009\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"430\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/98d0b575ede1cd3f09a1e124dd313777\" tg-width=\"360\" tg-height=\"300\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Indeed, in the Internet and direct marketing retail industry, of which Alibaba is a part, only 58.62% of companies have a positive CFO. Such companies have a CFO to TTM ratio of 7% (median), while BABA has a similar ratio of 17%, making it a true cash cow. However, for a cash cow, the margin of safety of BABA is highly controversial in terms of DCF modeling:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e33ef5864117b63096db2166e004e764\" tg-width=\"594\" tg-height=\"557\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Even with a fairly optimistic discount rate (10% is low given the risks for the Chinese tech giant) and a very generous assumption of a 15% growth rate over the next 10 years (which is already not the case), there is a downside of 14%, even when adding the tangible book value to the final share price.</p><p>Of course, I could be wrong and the listing of BABA&#39;s shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will create additional demand from investors in mainland China, but it&#39;s not entirely clear what U.S. investors with their ADRs will actually get out of it.</p><p>From this, I conclude that investors shouldn&#39;t be fooled by Alibaba&#39;s &#34;low multiples&#34; but to take a broader look at this company and consider all the risks involved. Then, the desire to follow the example of Masayoshi Son rather than Charlie Munger seems more logical to me.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

This was not the first news of attempts by Masayoshi Son, who was one of the first investors in BABA in 2000, to get rid of the company's shares - according to a press release from the bank, derivative tradeshave been made since 2016. However, $14 billion in 2020 was quite a large amount, and in the medium term, BABA shares began to correct more than the main benchmarks:Now we see that Softbank faced the problem of deflating the bubble in high-growth companies after the Corona crisis, and will now further reduce its stake in Alibaba stock (from the current 23.7% to 14.6% after settling $34 billion in prepaid forward contracts).As from the very beginning of my coverage of Alibaba stock here on Seeking Alpha, I still believe that investors should not follow on the heels of Charlie Munger - there are too many risks in buying this stock, both geopolitical (U.S.-China tensions, Taiwan) and economic (China's GDP growth slowdown and housing crisis). The pressure on BABA's quotes is likely to continue due to these two factors, and Softbank's sale of forward contracts for such a large amount may add to the headwinds for shareholders.Masayoshi Son vs. Charlie MungerOne of the most frequently cited arguments for buying BABA after its phenomenal >50% off high dip is the fact that one of the most famous Western investors, Charlie Munger, bought and held the stock. According to the 13-F filings by his Daily Journal Corp, the 98-year-old investor began buying BABA in the first quarter of 2021 and gradually increased his position throughout 2021 (from 165,320 shares in the first quarter to 602,060 shares in the fourth quarter) until he decided to sell half of the position in the first quarter of 2022 and has not touched BABA since (which is interpreted by some as a bullish sign).In my subjective opinion, a 50% reduction of BABA's position in Daily Journal Corp. in the first quarter is already a sign of Mr. Munger's capitulation, as this act is not typical of his position in BofA (BAC) or Wells Fargo (WFC) - compare the position size as of the last reporting date [link above] with the portfolio at the end of 2013 to see for yourself.Concerning the unchanged amount of BABA shares in the last reporting quarter, it should be noted that other positions have also remained unchanged - Munger has simply decided not to buy or sell anything. The great investor of the 20th century will likely continue to get rid of his position in Alibaba stock, in my view, if the risks in China escalate.

The 2019 United Nations Population Prospects report expected the peak later still, in 2031-32, at 1.46 billion.The Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences team predicts an annual average decline of 1.1% after 2021, pushing China's population down to 587 million in 2100, less than half of what it is today.[Source]The accumulated problems of the Chinese regime drive Xi to continue trying to expand his sole power, because at first glance it seems more reliable to keep everything in one hand. Given the level of corruption in the country, we are dealing with a kleptocratic state - the reason why Munger avoided investing in Russia after 1998.Aside from Masayoshi Son being forced to sell his shares in Alibaba, I think Softbank would have dumped its high stake in the company anyway, feeling the pressure from the Communist Party.Exactly one year ago, Nikkei Asia published an article citing Son as to how he sees the pressure on China's tech sector.\"I strongly believe that China's AI technology and business model will continue to innovate,\" Son said in a news conference. \"However, in investment activities, various new regulations have begun, so I want to wait and see what kind of regulations are implemented and what kind of impact they have on the stock market.\"[Source]A year later, he waited, looked around, and decided to reduce his stake in Alibaba from 23.7% to 14.6%.This is a smart move that is not about flooding the market with shares all at once - under the terms of the forward contract, Mr. Son will have the right to buy back his BABA shares. However, it is unlikely that he will do so - in any case, we have not seen this happen since 2016. So, in the coming months, there will be a greater supply of Alibaba shares on the market, which will put additional pressure on prices against the backdrop of geopolitical and macroeconomic risks specific to China.The company's financial profile doesn't helpThe low multiples that made BABA's stock seem undervalued compared to U.S. tech giants have gotten even lower over the past six months - in line with the stock price:However, it turned out that this underestimation was evidence of the value trap - the slowdown in economic growth and regulatory problems were making themselves felt. Margins continued their downward trend, and the ratio of EBITDA to sales did not return to the level seen before COVID.Sales and earnings growth did not improve as investors expected, so the denominators for most valuation metrics became smaller than the numerators - Seeking Alpha's factor grade system changed the valuation metric in a negative direction for the company:Readers will rightly wonder why the \"Profitability\" criterion is still rated \"A+\" against a backdrop of declining business margins and less than stellar ROE / ROA / ROIC indicators. The answer to this question lies in the elements of this criterion - the company's cash flow from operations (CFO) is the only reason for this superiority over the rest of the sector:Indeed, in the Internet and direct marketing retail industry, of which Alibaba is a part, only 58.62% of companies have a positive CFO. Such companies have a CFO to TTM ratio of 7% (median), while BABA has a similar ratio of 17%, making it a true cash cow. However, for a cash cow, the margin of safety of BABA is highly controversial in terms of DCF modeling:Even with a fairly optimistic discount rate (10% is low given the risks for the Chinese tech giant) and a very generous assumption of a 15% growth rate over the next 10 years (which is already not the case), there is a downside of 14%, even when adding the tangible book value to the final share price.Of course, I could be wrong and the listing of BABA's shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will create additional demand from investors in mainland China, but it's not entirely clear what U.S. investors with their ADRs will actually get out of it.From this, I conclude that investors shouldn't be fooled by Alibaba's \"low multiples\" but to take a broader look at this company and consider all the risks involved. Then, the desire to follow the example of Masayoshi Son rather than Charlie Munger seems more logical to me.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":148,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4110787565741242","authorId":"4110787565741242","name":"Darkkon","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4b2ccd1ab8fd2ba33f344c8207c75cdf","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"content":"you mean by being the catalyst that drive baba shares from $300+ to this price now and perhaps lower? haha","text":"you mean by being the catalyst that drive baba shares from $300+ to this price now and perhaps lower? haha","html":"you mean by being the catalyst that drive baba shares from $300+ to this price now and perhaps lower? haha"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9030867740,"gmtCreate":1645686551705,"gmtModify":1676534053631,"author":{"id":"3581295915321286","authorId":"3581295915321286","name":"DragonLee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"The unsettling news has widespread implications on all stock markets.

Alibaba easily sailed past revenue and earnings predictions and I believe sentiment regarding Chinese companies has deteriorated too much at this point. Although Alibaba skipped its guidance for FY 2023, the firm&#39;s valuation still makes very little sense. Investors are underpricing Alibaba’s earnings potential!</p><h2><b>Previous expectations</b></h2><p>In my previous work on Alibaba, I mentioned the very real possibility of Alibaba outperforming EPS predictions on Thursday which have gone through a significant downward revision cycle over the last year. Low expectations were the main reason why I thought Alibaba could outperform low consensus EPS predictions. And this is what Alibaba did: The company reported Q4’22 adjusted EPS of $1.18 which beat predictions by $0.10. Additionally, Alibaba beat on revenues as well.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bc75385b593d4759781f8c643f10da5b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"233\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><h2><b>Alibaba’s e-Commerce growth</b></h2><p>Overall, Alibaba’s revenues increased 9% in the last quarter to 204.1B Chinese Yuan which calculates to $32.2B. Alibaba’s core China e-Commerce revenues increased 8% year over year to 140.3B Chinese Yuan ($22.1B), which was an improvement over the previous quarter which saw 7% top line growth. So, Alibaba slightly improved its performance in its most important business quarter over quarter. Alibaba also saw continual strength in Local Consumer Services where revenues surged 29% year over year to $10.4B Chinese Yuan ($1.6B) and the Cloud segment which saw its revenues increase by 12% year over year to 19.0B Chinese Yuan ($3.0B).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7367ad9ca7d57fdc29a04bfe53983b08\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"472\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Alibaba</p><p>What stood out positively from Alibaba’s earnings sheet was that the company continued to make progress expanding its e-Commerce platform despite a challenged macro environment. Alibaba added 28M new accounts to its ecosystem in the last quarter, the majority of which (25M) were added in China. Alibaba’s domestic e-Commerce business is still the firm’s largest revenue source, contributing 69% of total revenues. However, Alibaba has a huge opportunity to grow its other businesses as well, especially its logistics operations which are vertically integrated into Alibaba’s e-Commerce operations, and its Cloud segment. I recently described the progress Alibaba is making in the Cloud business.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5cde9895f0dc3182788f90281d1915d9\" tg-width=\"1107\" tg-height=\"442\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Alibaba</p><p>Alibaba ended the quarter with 1.3B active customer accounts in its enterprise. Over the last year, Alibaba added a massive 177M new customers to its platform which creates a base for long term earnings and free cash flow growth.</p><h2><b>Alibaba’s share buybacks</b></h2><p>Before Alibaba released earnings, I mentioned that the company likely used its free cash flow in the last quarter to repurchase a ton of shares. It was obvious to me that the e-Commerce company would repurchase a lot of shares considering that Alibaba just up-sized its stock buyback from $15B to $25B at the time and that the stock traded at unreasonably low prices in March.</p><p>I like it when companies increase their buybacks when stock valuations are depressed and Alibaba did in fact repurchase a significant amount of shares in the last quarter. In Q4’22, Alibaba repurchased approximately 17.8M American Depositary Shares for about $2.0B. I expected a minimum share repurchase of $2.0B. In the last twelve months, Alibaba repurchased 60M American Depositary Shares for a total consideration of $9.6B.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/70f53c2e10f93e04902c9658236d0ddb\" tg-width=\"1028\" tg-height=\"305\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Alibaba</p><h2><b>Skipped earnings guidance</b></h2><p>Alibaba did not provide earnings guidance which it normally does at the beginning of the fiscal year. The e-Commerce firm cited uncertainties related to COVID-19 as a reason not to provide guidance. Normally, a lack of guidance is not well received and stocks of companies that don’t guide are punished by the market. In this case, however, things are different. Alibaba’s shares have been so battered so much since the fourth-quarter of 2020 that investors cheer results even if they are more mediocre.</p><h2><b>Alibaba’s valuation is wrong: Undervalued e-Commerce prospects</b></h2><p>Alibaba’s stock market valuation makes very little sense to me. This is because, for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>, Alibaba is very profitable. Alibaba generated net income of 47.1B Chinese Yuan ($7.4B) in FY 2022 while adjusted net income was 136.4B or $21.5B. There is some serious profitability in Alibaba’s business and investors don’t seem to appreciate this right now. Additionally, we are dealing with one of the largest e-Commerce empires in the world regarding account size and reach, but Alibaba&#39;s valuation still does not reflect those factors. Shares of Alibaba trade at a P-E ratio of 10 X. JD.com (JD), for example, has a P-E ratio nearly twice as high as Alibaba&#39;s. Alibaba&#39;s historical valuation shows a P-E ratio as high as 30 X. As wrong as Alibaba&#39;s valuation is, it represents deep value and low risk.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/275fc298915f2035a8e72d39e92a8626\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Data by YCharts</p><h2><b>Risks with Alibaba</b></h2><p>Alibaba faces continual top line risks related to a slowdown in the Chinese e-Commerce market.

Would I get back on track? The three names I figured were going to move lower for the week -- <b>MicroStrategy</b>, <b>Hooker Furnishings</b>, and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BLNK\">Blink Charging</a></b> -- finished down 1%, up 1%, and down 4%, respectively, averaging out to a 1.3% decline.</p><p>The <b>S&amp;P 500</b> declined 2.1% for the week, so while I may have been correct about the stocks to avoid, the market fared worse; I lost. I&#39;ve won in 18 of the past 26 weeks, but my recent skid continues.</p><p>This week, I see <b>Tesla</b>, <b>Sleep Number</b>, and <b>Lucid Group</b> as stocks you may want to consider steering clear of. Let&#39;s go over my near-term concerns.</p><h2>Tesla</h2><p>I happen to personally own two of the three stocks in this week&#39;s column, making this a bittersweet list. Tesla is a name I&#39;ve owned for more than a year, but I think the next-generation automaker isn&#39;t at its best when CEO Elon Musk is distracted. He&#39;s distracted right now.</p><p>Tesla reports its first-quarter financials on Wednesday. Your guess is as good as mine if Musk chose April 20 (4/20, a common reference to cannabis) <i>intentionally</i> as the earnings date; mad wealth can make you juvenile. We already know that car deliveries for the quarter came in slightly below market expectations.</p><p>Demand remains strong for Tesla&#39;s entry-level cars, and high gasoline prices are only helping. However, the stock&#39;s lofty valuation -- at a time when supply-chain constraints are real and cost controls are hard to come by -- means this is a tricky time to own the country&#39;s fifth-most-valuable company by market cap.</p><h2>Sleep Number</h2><p>The other stock I own -- and it&#39;s also reporting fresh financials this week -- is Sleep Number. The company&#39;s product is unique in a world of cookie-cutter mattresses: It makes air-chambered mattresses with adjustable firmness settings. It even has a neat hook with the Sleep Number 360 smart bed it rolled out a couple of years ago, a high-tech air cloud that can adjust firmness settings and even elevation as it senses restlessness.</p><p>Sleep Number sales took off in the early months of the pandemic as homebound folks paid a premium for a good night&#39;s sleep. Sales have slowed lately, and the company&#39;s last quarter was a disaster. Revenue declined 13%, as the late arrival of semiconductor components delayed more than $125 million of net sales. Sleep Number claims sales would&#39;ve been positive without the supply-chain hiccup, and even with the setback, revenue still climbed 18% for all of 2021.</p><p>Sleep Number reports its first-quarter results after Wednesday&#39;s market close. Analysts don&#39;t expect the data to be pretty; they&#39;re bracing for a 7% decline in revenue and an 86% plunge in earnings per share. (Investors might have expected the late arrival of parts in the previous quarter to help <i>boost</i> results this time around.)</p><p>It gets worse: Sleep Number has fallen short of Wall Street profit targets in two of the past three reports. Shares are cheap using most measuring sticks, and I&#39;m a long-term bull on the stock. I just feel there&#39;s a lot for Sleep Number to prove with this week&#39;s report.</p><h2>Lucid Group</h2><p>If I&#39;m going with Tesla on this list, I may as well double down on another electric-vehicle maker that&#39;s well behind Tesla on the growth trajectory. Come on down, Lucid Motors.</p><p>Its flagship model, Lucid Air, turned heads late last year when it was named <i>MotorTrend</i>&#39;s Car of the Year. But will it be able to scale fast enough to justify Lucid&#39;s nearly $35 billion market value? Bulls will argue that growth is about to shift to a higher gear, but Lucid is still at least three years away from turning the corner to profitability. A lot can and will happen between now and then, especially as the more established automakers flood the market with electric versions of their more popular rides.</p><p>Right now Lucid Air has a starting price of $77,400, so it&#39;s aiming for a higher-end niche market. It also hasn&#39;t increased its starting price since announcing the cost of its base model six months ago, suggesting it may not have the pricing elasticity of other automakers that have bumped prices higher over that time. If Tesla offers a foggy outlook, investors will likely take a step back from other electric-car stocks.</p><p>It&#39;s going to be a bumpy road for some of these investments. If you&#39;re looking for safe stocks, you aren&#39;t likely to find them in Tesla, Sleep Number, and Lucid Group this week.</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 Stocks to Avoid This Week</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 Stocks to Avoid This Week\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-18 23:25 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/18/3-stocks-to-avoid-this-week/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>My \"three stocks to avoid\" column hit a couple of speed bumps in recent weeks, after rolling earlier this year.

The three names I figured were going to move lower for the week -- MicroStrategy, Hooker Furnishings, and Blink Charging -- finished down 1%, up 1%, and down 4%, respectively, averaging out to a 1.3% decline.The S&P 500 declined 2.1% for the week, so while I may have been correct about the stocks to avoid, the market fared worse; I lost. I've won in 18 of the past 26 weeks, but my recent skid continues.This week, I see Tesla, Sleep Number, and Lucid Group as stocks you may want to consider steering clear of. Let's go over my near-term concerns.TeslaI happen to personally own two of the three stocks in this week's column, making this a bittersweet list. Tesla is a name I've owned for more than a year, but I think the next-generation automaker isn't at its best when CEO Elon Musk is distracted. He's distracted right now.Tesla reports its first-quarter financials on Wednesday. Your guess is as good as mine if Musk chose April 20 (4/20, a common reference to cannabis) intentionally as the earnings date; mad wealth can make you juvenile. We already know that car deliveries for the quarter came in slightly below market expectations.Demand remains strong for Tesla's entry-level cars, and high gasoline prices are only helping. However, the stock's lofty valuation -- at a time when supply-chain constraints are real and cost controls are hard to come by -- means this is a tricky time to own the country's fifth-most-valuable company by market cap.Sleep NumberThe other stock I own -- and it's also reporting fresh financials this week -- is Sleep Number. The company's product is unique in a world of cookie-cutter mattresses: It makes air-chambered mattresses with adjustable firmness settings. It even has a neat hook with the Sleep Number 360 smart bed it rolled out a couple of years ago, a high-tech air cloud that can adjust firmness settings and even elevation as it senses restlessness.Sleep Number sales took off in the early months of the pandemic as homebound folks paid a premium for a good night's sleep. Sales have slowed lately, and the company's last quarter was a disaster. Revenue declined 13%, as the late arrival of semiconductor components delayed more than $125 million of net sales. Sleep Number claims sales would've been positive without the supply-chain hiccup, and even with the setback, revenue still climbed 18% for all of 2021.Sleep Number reports its first-quarter results after Wednesday's market close. Analysts don't expect the data to be pretty; they're bracing for a 7% decline in revenue and an 86% plunge in earnings per share. (Investors might have expected the late arrival of parts in the previous quarter to help boost results this time around.)It gets worse: Sleep Number has fallen short of Wall Street profit targets in two of the past three reports. Shares are cheap using most measuring sticks, and I'm a long-term bull on the stock. I just feel there's a lot for Sleep Number to prove with this week's report.Lucid GroupIf I'm going with Tesla on this list, I may as well double down on another electric-vehicle maker that's well behind Tesla on the growth trajectory. Come on down, Lucid Motors.Its flagship model, Lucid Air, turned heads late last year when it was named MotorTrend's Car of the Year. But will it be able to scale fast enough to justify Lucid's nearly $35 billion market value? Bulls will argue that growth is about to shift to a higher gear, but Lucid is still at least three years away from turning the corner to profitability. A lot can and will happen between now and then, especially as the more established automakers flood the market with electric versions of their more popular rides.Right now Lucid Air has a starting price of $77,400, so it's aiming for a higher-end niche market. It also hasn't increased its starting price since announcing the cost of its base model six months ago, suggesting it may not have the pricing elasticity of other automakers that have bumped prices higher over that time. If Tesla offers a foggy outlook, investors will likely take a step back from other electric-car stocks.It's going to be a bumpy road for some of these investments. If you're looking for safe stocks, you aren't likely to find them in Tesla, Sleep Number, and Lucid Group this week.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":8,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9937439757,"gmtCreate":1663477178179,"gmtModify":1676537276808,"author":{"id":"3581295915321286","authorId":"3581295915321286","name":"DragonLee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9937439757","repostId":"1118505487","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":299,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9908829080,"gmtCreate":1659361783140,"gmtModify":1705979491442,"author":{"id":"3581295915321286","authorId":"3581295915321286","name":"DragonLee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok ok","listText":"Ok ok","text":"Ok ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9908829080","repostId":"1191528320","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1191528320","pubTimestamp":1659357558,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1191528320?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-01 20:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Starts Four-Part Bond Sale to Fund Buybacks, Dividends","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1191528320","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"40-year security may yield 150 basis points over TreasuriesCompany received highest possible credit ","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>40-year security may yield 150 basis points over Treasuries</li><li>Company received highest possible credit rating in December</li></ul><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple Inc.</a> is tapping the high-grade bond market with a sale in as many as four parts.</p><p>The longest portion of the offering, a 40-year security, may yield around 150 basis points over US Treasuries, according to a person familiar with the matter.</p><p>Proceeds from the sale are earmarked for general corporate purposes, including the financing of share buybacks and dividends, said the person, who asked not to be identified as the details are private.</p><p>The sale comes after the US primary market for investment-grade bonds sprang back to life in the second half of July amid a credit market rally.

So here's a quick primer for your convenience.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>KEY POINTS</b></p><ul><li>Alphabet’s stock comes in three different styles.</li><li>They carry different voting powers, which is the only real-world difference between them.</li><li>Whichever stock class you prefer, Alphabet is a long-term winner that probably belongs in your portfolio.</li></ul><p>Google&#39;s parent company, <b>Alphabet</b>, comes in two flavors. There&#39;s the Class C stock with the GOOG ticker, and then we have the Class A stock called GOOGL.</p><p>That&#39;s not quite the whole story, actually. There&#39;s a third type of Alphabet stock, but the Class B shares are not available to the public.</p><p>The difference between these classes of Alphabet stock is not immediately obvious. According to Google&#39;s own search algorithm, people who are searching for information about GOOGL will also often wonder what the difference is between Class A and Class C, and which one is the better buy.</p><p>So let&#39;s take a quick look at this classy conundrum.</p><p><b>What&#39;s the difference?</b></p><p>Technically speaking, there is just one difference between Alphabet&#39;s three stock classes. It&#39;s all about voting power.</p><ul><li>The Class A stock carries one vote per share in every situation that counts up shareholder ballots.</li><li>Class C shares have no voting powers at all.</li><li>The Class B stock consists of so-called supervoting shares. Here, each stub comes with 10 votes.</li></ul><p>This structure was designed to protect the ownership stakes of Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Together, the two executives currently hold 86% of the Class B shares, which translates into a 51.4% share of Alphabet&#39;s total voting power.</p><p>When the company issues new shares through the employee equity incentive program or acquires another company in a stock-swap deal, the new stubs can fall under the Class C type if the influx of new voting stock would change that balance of power. This way, Brin and Page continue to exercise absolute control of Alphabet&#39;s voting matters. It would take a shareholder vote to change that policy, and that idea is unlikely to win a majority of the votes unless at least one of Google&#39;s founding fathers is voting in favor.</p><p>So, Class B stock is not traded on the public market and there is no effective difference between Class A and Class C. Yes, Class A comes with voting powers, but as I mentioned, Brin and Page essentially run the show as they see fit.</p><p><b>OK, but is one category a better investment than the other?</b></p><p>The company then known as Google introduced the vote-less Class C shares on April 3, 2014. This stock split was performed as a special dividend, giving shareholders one brand-new Class C share for each Class A or Class B stub they already owned. The Class C stock carried on under the old GOOG ticker and Class A moved over to the new GOOGL symbol. The company counted its shares two weeks later, preparing its official filings for the first quarter of 2014, and the number of vote-holding Class A and Class B stubs added up to almost exactly the number of vote-less Class C shares.</p><p>Things have changed a bit over the past eight years. Alphabet has increased the number of A shares by 6.5%, according to this week&#39;s second-quarter report. Meanwhile, 20.4% of the Class B shares have been converted into other classes, and the Class C count is down by 8.2%. These figures took the recent 20-for-1 stock split into account, of course. Again, Brin and Page hold a 51.4% majority in this scenario. That&#39;s down from 61.3% in early 2014, but it&#39;s still a comfortably controlling stake.</p><p>You might expect the different share classes to deliver substantially different market returns, since the Class A stock has been diluted over time while Class C moved in the opposite direction. However, the company assigns its earnings per share and other financial results in a method that keeps the financial interests of each share equal in each report. So there is no fiscal reason to value one stock above or below the other. The voting powers don&#39;t make a real-world difference, either.</p><p>Therefore, the stocks have posted nearly identical shareholder returns since the split. Here&#39;s how the two market-beating charts have shaped up since April 2014:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4616e80631bf2e75cbfd4fd16873c3e9\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1219\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>GOOG data by YCharts</span></p><p><b>Is there really no difference at all?</b></p><p>You could consider other metrics, of course. Company insiders and financial institutions own more of the vote-empowered Class A stock than they do the non-voting Class C. The voting stock also experiences slightly heavier trading volumes on average. And when short-sellers are betting against Alphabet, their pre-sold stock is more commonly borrowed from the voting side of the fence.</p><p>None of this matters in any game-changing way. Where one class of Alphabet stock is going, the other one will follow. Personally, I sold my vote-less Class C shares in 2014 and replaced them with more of the voting stock, for the simple reason that I believe in acting as if I own a small part of the actual company.</p><p>My votes won&#39;t change the outcome of any elections or ballots, of course, so even this idea is just an academic exercise. And I&#39;m happy to wield my minuscule voting power, every chance I get. If nothing else, it&#39;s a reminder of the business ownership that comes with buying a stock.</p><p>But that&#39;s my choice, and you may feel differently about this small distinction. You should feel free to invest in either GOOG or GOOGL stock, or both if you prefer. There are no trading fees to worry about these days, so any combination goes.

There's the Class C stock with the GOOG ticker, and then we have the Class A stock called GOOGL.That's not quite the whole story, actually. There's a third type of Alphabet stock, but the Class B shares are not available to the public.The difference between these classes of Alphabet stock is not immediately obvious. According to Google's own search algorithm, people who are searching for information about GOOGL will also often wonder what the difference is between Class A and Class C, and which one is the better buy.So let's take a quick look at this classy conundrum.What's the difference?Technically speaking, there is just one difference between Alphabet's three stock classes. It's all about voting power.The Class A stock carries one vote per share in every situation that counts up shareholder ballots.Class C shares have no voting powers at all.The Class B stock consists of so-called supervoting shares. Here, each stub comes with 10 votes.This structure was designed to protect the ownership stakes of Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Together, the two executives currently hold 86% of the Class B shares, which translates into a 51.4% share of Alphabet's total voting power.When the company issues new shares through the employee equity incentive program or acquires another company in a stock-swap deal, the new stubs can fall under the Class C type if the influx of new voting stock would change that balance of power. This way, Brin and Page continue to exercise absolute control of Alphabet's voting matters. It would take a shareholder vote to change that policy, and that idea is unlikely to win a majority of the votes unless at least one of Google's founding fathers is voting in favor.So, Class B stock is not traded on the public market and there is no effective difference between Class A and Class C. Yes, Class A comes with voting powers, but as I mentioned, Brin and Page essentially run the show as they see fit.OK, but is one category a better investment than the other?The company then known as Google introduced the vote-less Class C shares on April 3, 2014. This stock split was performed as a special dividend, giving shareholders one brand-new Class C share for each Class A or Class B stub they already owned. The Class C stock carried on under the old GOOG ticker and Class A moved over to the new GOOGL symbol. The company counted its shares two weeks later, preparing its official filings for the first quarter of 2014, and the number of vote-holding Class A and Class B stubs added up to almost exactly the number of vote-less Class C shares.Things have changed a bit over the past eight years. Alphabet has increased the number of A shares by 6.5%, according to this week's second-quarter report. Meanwhile, 20.4% of the Class B shares have been converted into other classes, and the Class C count is down by 8.2%. These figures took the recent 20-for-1 stock split into account, of course. Again, Brin and Page hold a 51.4% majority in this scenario. That's down from 61.3% in early 2014, but it's still a comfortably controlling stake.You might expect the different share classes to deliver substantially different market returns, since the Class A stock has been diluted over time while Class C moved in the opposite direction. However, the company assigns its earnings per share and other financial results in a method that keeps the financial interests of each share equal in each report. So there is no fiscal reason to value one stock above or below the other. The voting powers don't make a real-world difference, either.Therefore, the stocks have posted nearly identical shareholder returns since the split. Here's how the two market-beating charts have shaped up since April 2014:GOOG data by YChartsIs there really no difference at all?You could consider other metrics, of course. Company insiders and financial institutions own more of the vote-empowered Class A stock than they do the non-voting Class C. The voting stock also experiences slightly heavier trading volumes on average. And when short-sellers are betting against Alphabet, their pre-sold stock is more commonly borrowed from the voting side of the fence.None of this matters in any game-changing way. Where one class of Alphabet stock is going, the other one will follow. Personally, I sold my vote-less Class C shares in 2014 and replaced them with more of the voting stock, for the simple reason that I believe in acting as if I own a small part of the actual company.My votes won't change the outcome of any elections or ballots, of course, so even this idea is just an academic exercise. And I'm happy to wield my minuscule voting power, every chance I get. If nothing else, it's a reminder of the business ownership that comes with buying a stock.But that's my choice, and you may feel differently about this small distinction. You should feel free to invest in either GOOG or GOOGL stock, or both if you prefer. There are no trading fees to worry about these days, so any combination goes. If you like to read proxy filings and vote in the annual shareholder meetings, you should pick up some Class A shares of Alphabet under the GOOGL ticker. And if you'd rather keep your inbox free from vote-related emails, you can select the Class C stock with the GOOG ticker instead.It really doesn't matter which way you lean. Whichever stock ticker you like, Alphabet remains a fantastic long-term investment in the digital future of the global economy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9042972589,"gmtCreate":1656427582441,"gmtModify":1676535826222,"author":{"id":"3581295915321286","authorId":"3581295915321286","name":"DragonLee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9042972589","repostId":"2246133086","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2246133086","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":1656426671,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2246133086?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-06-28 22:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Cathie Wood Warns U.S. Is Already in a Recession","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2246133086","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood admitted during a Tuesday interview with CNBC  that she had dramatically underestimated the severity of inflation -- before claiming that the U.S. economy is likely already ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood admitted during a Tuesday interview with CNBC  that she had dramatically underestimated the severity of inflation -- before claiming that the U.S. economy is likely already in a recession.</p><p>Wood blamed supply-chain disruptions and geopolitical factors like the war in Ukraine for exacerbating inflationary pressures beyond what she had anticipated.

The stocks on our list don’t have this problem, and this makes their stock price performance more secure.</p><p>Let’s dive in and look at these dividend stocks.</p><p><b>Gladstone Capital (GLAD)</b></p><p><b>Dividend Yield: 7.3%</b></p><p><b>Gladstone Capital</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>GLAD</u></b>) is a business development corporation (BDC), which is sort of like a bank that makes loans to companies. It makes loans, collects the interest and pays it out to shareholders after deducting admin costs. The key here is whether the amount it earns in interest is greater than what it pays out.</p><p>Right now, its dividend at 81 cents per share yields 7.3% at today’s price of $10.40. But more importantly, its weighted-average yield earned by the company was 10.3% in the last six months. This can be seen on page 49 of the 10-Qand also in its second quarter fiscal earnings press release on May 3.</p><p>This is higher than the company’s current 7.3% yield to investors. But to make this comparison more exact, we need to adjust for the fact that GLAD stock is 9.6% over the company’s net asset value (NAV). As of March 31, the book value or net assets, after deducting all liabilities, is$9.49 per share.</p><p>Since investors are paying more than the NAV, we have to reduce the company’s 10.3% weighted average. The equivalent yield earned by the company is 9.4%. This is calculated by dividing 10.3% by 1.096. This more than covers the 7.3% yield.</p><p>One more thing. This company pays out monthly dividends. That makes this one of the more attractive dividend stocks on this list.</p><p><b>Prospect Capital (PSEC)</b></p><p><b>Dividend Yield: 9.5%</b></p><p><b>Prospect Capital Corporation</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>PSPC</u></b>) is also another BDC. The stock yields 9.5% annually and pays out its dividends on a monthly basis. The annualized yield of its investments for the last nine months at the end of Q3 was 8.4%. In addition, its price at $7.21 price is just 67% of its $10.81 NAV at the end of 2021.</p><p>After adjusting for its 67% price-to-NAV ratio, the adjusted portfolio yield is 12.5%. This is much higher than its 8.1% distribution yield to investors.</p><p>As a result, investors in Prospect Capital should be confident that the company can keep paying its high 9.5% dividend yield. Of course, as the price rises, the yield will fall, and the spread of the company’s portfolio yield over the yield to investors will narrow.</p><p><b>New Mountain Finance (NMFC)</b></p><p><b>Dividend Yield: 9.5%</b></p><p>New Mountain Finance Corp is a BDC that focuses on private equity buyouts and related loans and general lending to middle-market firms. The stock is very attractive as it yields 9.5%, and this appears to be covered by its portfolio investment yield.</p><p>Moreover, at $12.17, NMFC stock trades for just 90% of its NAV at $13.56 per share as of March 31. That alone makes this a good investment worth buying.</p><p>In addition, New Mountain Finance generates enough income to cover its payments. One way to see is that the company reports that its yield-to-maturity at cost is approximately 9.8%. That is higher than the 9.5% dividend yield to investors.</p><p>Moreover, after adjusting this figure for the 93.4% price-to-NAV, the adjusted portfolio yield is 11%. In other words, by buying below the book value, the investment yield is below the portfolio yield on a comparable adjusted basis of about 150 basis points.</p><p>This makes NMFC stock one of the better dividend stocks on this list.</p><p><b>Verizon (VZ)</b></p><p><b>Yield: 5%</b></p><p><b>Verizon Communications</b>(NYSE:<b><u>VZ</u></b>) is a 5G wireless company that now yields 5% with its annual $2.56 annual dividend payment.</p><p>Verizon is likely to declare another dividend increase at its next dividend announcement sometime at the end of August. This is because it has now paid the same 64-cent quarterly dividend for the past three quarters(with another payout coming up in July) and for the past 18 years, Verizon has raised its dividend.</p><p>VZ stock is also cheap at 9.4 times earnings, according to <i>Seeking Alpha</i>. And since earnings are forecast to grow 3.1% in 2023 to $5.57, its price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple falls to 9.12 times.</p><p>This also shows that the $5.57 earnings per share (EPS) estimate for 2023 is more than sufficient to cover the annual $2.56 dividend payment and increase that might occur.</p><p>This makes VZ one of the best dividend stocks out there right now. That is especially the case, since it is an operating company and not a business development company. An operating company has a much more robust revenue and expense reality than a BDC.</p><p><b>AT&amp;T (T)</b></p><p><b>Dividend Yield: 5.4%</b></p><p><b>AT&amp;T</b>(NYSE:<b><u>T</u></b>) has completed the spinoff of its WarnerMedia division and merged it with Discovery to form <b>Warner Bros Discovery</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>WBD</u></b>). This makes it a pure wireless telecom stock with earnings set to hit $2.56 per share this year and $2.52 in 2023, its first full year on a standalone basis.</p><p>AT&amp;T’s $1.11 dividend per share provides a yield of 5.4% at today’s price. This also makes T stock one of the highest-yielding telecom dividend stocks.</p><p>The company’s earnings are partially depressed by the spinoff costs and its reorganization and cost-cutting as a focused wireless company. That should improve over the next several years. Therefore, investors can expect that this will be one of the better dividend stocks.</p><p><b>Dividend Stocks: BCE (BCE)</b></p><p><b>Dividend Yield: 5.5%</b></p><p><b>BCE</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BCE</u></b>) is a Canadian telecom, media and internet broadband company. Analysts forecast that earnings will hit $2.66 this year, up 11% from $2.39 last year. Moreover, they forecast a 5.6% higher EPS in 2023 to $2.81.</p><p>BCE’s dividend is paid in CAD. In 2021, it paid 3.50 CAD, currently the equivalent of $2.71.</p><p>There is no guesswork here. The company has already posted that it plans on paying92 cents CADquarterly for the next three quarters. Given that the U.S. dollar exchange rate is currently 78 cents per CAD, that approximates 71 cents and change before any fees.</p><p>Nevertheless, this just barely meets the cutoff criteria, as its payout ratio is about 100% (maybe slightly over that). That makes it one of the viable dividend stocks on this list.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>6 Dividend Stocks to Buy Yielding 5% or More</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\">\n6 Dividend Stocks to Buy Yielding 5% or More\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-14 23:03 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2022/06/6-dividend-stocks-to-buy-yielding-5-or-more/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>These six stocks have yields of 5% or more and have enough earnings or cash flow to cover their dividend payments.

But they are also good investments, as the companies earn more on a monthly yield basis than the dividends they pay out to shareholders.This latter point is very important. Often business development companies, which are a mix of a lender to small companies and a private equity firm, pay dividends that they cannot afford.

The softlines retail segment made a comeback while ecommerce growth slowed down.That could have been somewhat expected with the economy reopening following 2020’s pandemic-driven lockdowns. However, Well Fargo analyst Brian Fitzgerald says it’s clear that the COVID-19 pandemic “pulled forward 4-5 years of ecommerce penetration.”“Despite those slowing ecomm trends last year,” the analyst went on to say, “we expect the shift to ecommerce is likely to stick’ and Amazon (AMZN)—as the #1 apparel retailer in the country—remains the 800-lb gorilla in the space, with clear ambitions to take ongoing share in the category.”With third-party sales included, Fitzgerald estimates U.S. apparel/ footwear sales on Amazon are now more than $65 billion, which is almost double that of Walmart, the nearest rival. This amounts to a “highly impressive” ~15% share of all U.S. apparel sales. Even more impressively, it amounts to a 35-40% share of all online apparel sales. “We currently estimate AMZN will surpass $73B in apparel/footwear sales in 2022,” the analyst added.And going by the latest Wells Fargo survey, Amazon’s dominance looks set to keep on growing. Amongst 1,000 U.S. Amazon shoppers surveyed, in Apparel/footwear categories, Amazon made a ~100bps YoY share gain in 2021 to reach 15% while also showing a~400bps gain compared to pre-pandemic levels.Moreover, over the last year, consumers’ appetite for fashion apparel items such as jeans and dresses on Amazon has significantly increased. Compared to the 9thspot it held last year, fashion apparel has become a “top 3 category.” This points to the “headway Amazon has made towards becoming a destination for fashion apparel in the eyes of the consumer.”Down to the nitty-gritty, what does this all mean for investors? Fitzgerald reiterated an Overweight (i.e., Buy) rating along with a $4,250 price target. Investors are looking at 12-month returns of 36%, should the forecast work out as planned.The rest of the Street is in full agreement here. Based on Buys only – 34, in total – the analyst consensus rates this stock a Strong Buy. The average price target is only slightly lower than Fitzgerald’s; at $4,185 and change, the figure is set to generate 12-month returns of 28%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":4,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9035944344,"gmtCreate":1647495401201,"gmtModify":1676534237577,"author":{"id":"3581295915321286","authorId":"3581295915321286","name":"DragonLee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9035944344","repostId":"1105499764","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105499764","pubTimestamp":1647495139,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1105499764?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-03-17 13:32","market":"other","language":"en","title":"ASX Close: One-month High as Jobless Rate Dives","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105499764","media":"the market herald","summary":"The share market sealed its best two-day advance in six weeks as unemployment hit a 14-year low and ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The share market sealed its best two-day advance in six weeks as unemployment hit a 14-year low and Wall Street welcomed clarity on this year’s rates outlook.</p><p>The <b>S&amp;P/ASX 200</b> climbed 72 points or 1 percent to its highest close since February 17.
