Fool","summary":"These growth stocks dominate their respective industries, and that could translate into monster returns for shareholders.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The stock market has not been kind to investors this year. The <b>S&amp;P 500</b> had its worst first half since 1970, and the <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> is currently 28% off its high. But the market has recovered from worse in the past, and there is no reason to believe this situation is any different. Eventually, the next bull market will erase those losses.</p><p>In the meantime, many beaten-down stocks are brimming with potential, and that creates a buying opportunity for patient investors. For instance, <b>Roku</b> and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MELI\">MercadoLibre</a></b> could both grow sixfold over the next decade, meaning shareholders could see a 500% return by 2032.</p><p>Here&#39;s why.</p><h2>Roku: The top streaming platform in North America</h2><p>Streaming pioneer Roku struggled in the second quarter as the macroeconomic environment continued to deteriorate. High inflation blunted consumer spending, especially on smart TVs and other discretionary electronics, and many brands cut their ad budgets to compensate for that softness. However, those headwinds are temporary, and the long-term investment thesis is still intact.</p><p>Roku is the top streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico in terms of engagement, and engagement is a critical metric for marketers. As a result, Roku captured nearly 45% of programmatic connected TV (CTV) ad spending in North America in June 2022, while second-place <b>Samsung </b>and third-place <b>Amazon</b> held just 17% and 12% market share, respectively.</p><p>Roku is working to strengthen that sizable lead with The Roku Channel, an ad-supported streaming service that features free movies, TV shows, and live linear channels dedicated to news and sports. Roku began adding original content to the mix last year, and the reception has been quite positive so far. In the second quarter, The Roku Channel once again ranked among the top five channels on the platform in the U.S.</p><p>Despite its disappointing performance of late, Roku has still delivered solid financial results over the last three years.</p><table><thead><tr><th><p>Metric</p></th><th><p>Q2 2019</p></th><th><p>Q2 2022</p></th><th><p>CAGR</p></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td width=\"156\"><p>Revenue (TTM)</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>$905.9 million</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>$3 billion</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>50%</p></td></tr><tr><td width=\"156\"><p>Cash from operations (TTM)</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>$39.4 million</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>$73.4 million</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>23%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Data source: YCharts. TTM = trailing 12 months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.</p><p>Looking ahead, The Roku Channel could be the source of a powerful network effect. As the most popular streaming platform in North America and Mexico, Roku should naturally capture an outsized portion of CTV ad spend in those geographies. That, in turn, should enhance its ability to license and create high-quality content for The Roku Channel, which should result in greater viewer engagement, bringing more ad dollars to its platform.</p><p>Building on that, CTV ad spend is poised for dramatic growth, both because viewers are moving away from traditional TV and because CTV ads can be targeted more effectively. In fact, CTV ad spend in the U.S. alone could reach $100 billion by 2030, up from $21 billion in 2021, according to BMO Capital Markets.</p><p>With that in mind, if Roku can deliver revenue growth of 20% per year over the next decade, its market cap could increase sixfold by 2032 (assuming a reasonable price-to-sale ratio of 2.9). That&#39;s why investors should consider buying this growth stock today.</p><h2>MercadoLibre: The e-commerce leader in Latin America</h2><p>MercadoLibre is the largest e-commerce marketplace in Latin America, and it ranks as the market leader in each of the major countries in which it operates. It has reinforced that edge with value-added services like logistics, financing, digital advertising, and digital payments. That makes MercadoLibre a one-stop shop for merchants.</p><p>Its logistics business (Mercado Envíos) and its fintech business (Mercado Pago) have been particularly instrumental in its success. Mercado Envíos handled 91% of shipping volume in the most recent quarter, and nearly 80% of that volume was delivered within 48 hours. That makes for a great consumer experience, and merchants wouldn&#39;t be able to achieve that on their own.</p><p>Additionally, Mercado Pago supports digital payments both on and off the MercadoLibre marketplace, a particularly important role given that many Latin Americans lack access to a bank account and debit card. In the most recent quarter, digital wallet users rose 42% to 21.4 million, and total payment volume skyrocketed 72% to $30.2 billion.</p><p>Not surprisingly, MercadoLibre has delivered impressive financial results over the past three years.</p><table><thead><tr><th><p>Metric</p></th><th><p>Q2 2019</p></th><th><p>Q2 2022</p></th><th><p>CAGR</p></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td width=\"156\"><p>Revenue (TTM)</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>$1.8 billion</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>$8.8 billion</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>70%</p></td></tr><tr><td width=\"156\"><p>Cash from operations (TTM)</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>$289.7 million</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>$1.6 billion</p></td><td width=\"156\"><p>78%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Data source: YCharts. TTM = trailing-12-months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.</p><p>Investors have good reason to believe MercadoLibre can maintain that momentum.

The S&P 500 had its worst first half since 1970, and the Nasdaq Composite is currently 28% off its high. But the market has recovered from worse in the past, and there is no reason to believe this situation is any different. Eventually, the next bull market will erase those losses.In the meantime, many beaten-down stocks are brimming with potential, and that creates a buying opportunity for patient investors. For instance, Roku and MercadoLibre could both grow sixfold over the next decade, meaning shareholders could see a 500% return by 2032.Here's why.Roku: The top streaming platform in North AmericaStreaming pioneer Roku struggled in the second quarter as the macroeconomic environment continued to deteriorate. High inflation blunted consumer spending, especially on smart TVs and other discretionary electronics, and many brands cut their ad budgets to compensate for that softness. However, those headwinds are temporary, and the long-term investment thesis is still intact.Roku is the top streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico in terms of engagement, and engagement is a critical metric for marketers. As a result, Roku captured nearly 45% of programmatic connected TV (CTV) ad spending in North America in June 2022, while second-place Samsung and third-place Amazon held just 17% and 12% market share, respectively.Roku is working to strengthen that sizable lead with The Roku Channel, an ad-supported streaming service that features free movies, TV shows, and live linear channels dedicated to news and sports. Roku began adding original content to the mix last year, and the reception has been quite positive so far. In the second quarter, The Roku Channel once again ranked among the top five channels on the platform in the U.S.Despite its disappointing performance of late, Roku has still delivered solid financial results over the last three years.MetricQ2 2019Q2 2022CAGRRevenue (TTM)$905.9 million$3 billion50%Cash from operations (TTM)$39.4 million$73.4 million23%Data source: YCharts. TTM = trailing 12 months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.Looking ahead, The Roku Channel could be the source of a powerful network effect. As the most popular streaming platform in North America and Mexico, Roku should naturally capture an outsized portion of CTV ad spend in those geographies. That, in turn, should enhance its ability to license and create high-quality content for The Roku Channel, which should result in greater viewer engagement, bringing more ad dollars to its platform.Building on that, CTV ad spend is poised for dramatic growth, both because viewers are moving away from traditional TV and because CTV ads can be targeted more effectively. In fact, CTV ad spend in the U.S. alone could reach $100 billion by 2030, up from $21 billion in 2021, according to BMO Capital Markets.With that in mind, if Roku can deliver revenue growth of 20% per year over the next decade, its market cap could increase sixfold by 2032 (assuming a reasonable price-to-sale ratio of 2.9). That's why investors should consider buying this growth stock today.MercadoLibre: The e-commerce leader in Latin AmericaMercadoLibre is the largest e-commerce marketplace in Latin America, and it ranks as the market leader in each of the major countries in which it operates. It has reinforced that edge with value-added services like logistics, financing, digital advertising, and digital payments. That makes MercadoLibre a one-stop shop for merchants.Its logistics business (Mercado Envíos) and its fintech business (Mercado Pago) have been particularly instrumental in its success. Mercado Envíos handled 91% of shipping volume in the most recent quarter, and nearly 80% of that volume was delivered within 48 hours. That makes for a great consumer experience, and merchants wouldn't be able to achieve that on their own.Additionally, Mercado Pago supports digital payments both on and off the MercadoLibre marketplace, a particularly important role given that many Latin Americans lack access to a bank account and debit card. In the most recent quarter, digital wallet users rose 42% to 21.4 million, and total payment volume skyrocketed 72% to $30.2 billion.Not surprisingly, MercadoLibre has delivered impressive financial results over the past three years.MetricQ2 2019Q2 2022CAGRRevenue (TTM)$1.8 billion$8.8 billion70%Cash from operations (TTM)$289.7 million$1.6 billion78%Data source: YCharts. TTM = trailing-12-months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.Investors have good reason to believe MercadoLibre can maintain that momentum. The vast majority of its revenue comes from Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, and all three countries rank among the 10 fastest-growing e-commerce markets in the world. More broadly, Latin America itself has one of the fastest-growing internet penetration rates in the world, and that should drive adoption of online shopping and digital payments in the years ahead.According to Statista, e-commerce sales across all countries in which MercadoLibre operates will grow at 18% per year to reach $260 billion by 2025, and digital payments volume will grow at 15% per year to reach $510 billion by 2027. That leaves plenty of room for growth.On that note, if MercadoLibre can grow revenue at 25% per year over the next decade, its market cap could easily increase sixfold (assuming a reasonable price-to-sales ratio of 3.1) in that time. That's why this growth stock is a smart buy for long-term investors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":308,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9933579391,"gmtCreate":1662334662113,"gmtModify":1676537036848,"author":{"id":"3585370461477110","authorId":"3585370461477110","name":"Jyozu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac83cb007e9144d9710ce08e1d562f3b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9933579391","repostId":"1114052367","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114052367","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1662260377,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1114052367?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-04 10:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Reminder: US Market Will be Closed for Labor Day on Monday, 5 September 2022 EDT","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114052367","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Dear Valued Client,US Labor Day is around the corner.

The answer may seem simple, but it’s not. Many things can affect your decision and make finding a good buy tough for even the most experienced investors.</p><p>One thing to look out for when trying to invest in penny stocks is whether or not their prices will stay low long enough before they inflate again. Second, great financials are a must. Look out for those with strong balance sheets and healthy profits. Finally, look for companies with good future prospects. This could mean they have new products or services in the pipeline or are expanding into new markets. By taking the time to research penny stocks, you can increase your chances of finding ones that will be successful investments.</p><p>Penny stocks can be very exciting. But they also come with risks and require research before investing any real capital into them. If you are ready to take the plunge, here are three penny stocks that could 10X by 2023.</p><p><b>Exela Technologies (XELA)</b></p><p><b>Exela Technologies</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>XELA</u></b>) is a global business process automation and information management solutions provider. Headquartered in Texas, Exela serves more than4,000 customers in over 50 countries. Its platform enables customers to automate manual processes, improve data quality and compliance, and reduce costs. One company that constantly comes up when discussing penny stocks is Exela Technologies.</p><p>Why? Exela Technologies is in a good position right now. It has secured some big contract victories recently. Exela’s Exchange for Bills and Payments segment contracted an order with a total value of $136 million in June. The same division secured a three-year, $18.3 million deal, which started accruing in the third quarter of 2022.</p><p>The company has high debt levels, which poses a problem for investors. However, Exela Technologies has done well in the last few quarters, paring debt substantially. Investors should pay attention to whether the debt-EBITDA ratio will continue to lessen.</p><p>One of the brightest spots for Exela is DrySign, a proprietary e-signature platform. DrySign enables organizations to sign documents with high security and compliance electronically. Exela is well-positioned to continue its growth in this market, which is expected to grow to $42 billion by 2030.</p><p>Exela’s growth has been slowing in recent years. Blame it on intensifying competition, slower-than-expected adoption of its products, and uncertain macroeconomic conditions. However, the company has made some progress in adapting its business model to the new realities of the global business process automation software market. It is now well-positioned to capitalize on the secular tailwinds driving demand for its solutions.</p><p><b>Palatin Technologies (PTN)</b></p><p><b>Palatin Technologies</b>(NYSEMKT:<b><u>PTN</u></b>) is an up-and-coming biotech company that is based in New Jersey. Its chief product, Vyleesi, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in June 2019 for treating HSDD (hypoactive sexual desire disorder) in premenopausal women.</p><p>PL9643, another drug in its pipeline, helps treat dry eye disease. In addition, Palatin is developing a drug that can effectively treat ulcerative colitis. Its PL8177 has passed its first-stage trials and will be going into Phase 2 testing soon, with expected results by the end of 2022.</p><p>In conclusion, Palatin holds an excellent portfolio of drugs in earlier stages of development. With several potential blockbuster drugs in its pipeline, this is a company with huge upside potential. So don’t miss out on this hidden gem. You will want to keep an eye on Palatin Technologies.</p><p><b>FlexShopper (FPAY)</b></p><p><b>FlexShopper</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>FPAY</u></b>) is an upcoming fintech company proving to be a great challenger in the current market. Its principal business is lease-to-own furniture, which is gaining ground as consumers become affected by inflation. Its lease-to-own offerings are an appealing and practical solution because they provide a way to get the furniture without breaking the bank.</p><p>The percentage of consumers using financing or leasing programs has increased dramatically in the past year. A recent survey of 2,688 consumers in the U.S. found that nearly 58% used a financing or leasing program when buying durable goods within the past year. With inflation remaining at its highest rate in decades, the trend will not change anytime soon.</p><p>The latest results from FlexShopper illustrate the company is doing very well due to these trends.

The answer may seem simple, but it’s not. Many things can affect your decision and make finding a good buy tough for even the most experienced investors.One thing to look out for when trying to invest in penny stocks is whether or not their prices will stay low long enough before they inflate again. Second, great financials are a must. Look out for those with strong balance sheets and healthy profits. Finally, look for companies with good future prospects. This could mean they have new products or services in the pipeline or are expanding into new markets. By taking the time to research penny stocks, you can increase your chances of finding ones that will be successful investments.Penny stocks can be very exciting. But they also come with risks and require research before investing any real capital into them. If you are ready to take the plunge, here are three penny stocks that could 10X by 2023.Exela Technologies (XELA)Exela Technologies(NASDAQ:XELA) is a global business process automation and information management solutions provider. Headquartered in Texas, Exela serves more than4,000 customers in over 50 countries. Its platform enables customers to automate manual processes, improve data quality and compliance, and reduce costs. One company that constantly comes up when discussing penny stocks is Exela Technologies.Why? Exela Technologies is in a good position right now. It has secured some big contract victories recently. Exela’s Exchange for Bills and Payments segment contracted an order with a total value of $136 million in June. The same division secured a three-year, $18.3 million deal, which started accruing in the third quarter of 2022.The company has high debt levels, which poses a problem for investors. However, Exela Technologies has done well in the last few quarters, paring debt substantially. Investors should pay attention to whether the debt-EBITDA ratio will continue to lessen.One of the brightest spots for Exela is DrySign, a proprietary e-signature platform. DrySign enables organizations to sign documents with high security and compliance electronically. Exela is well-positioned to continue its growth in this market, which is expected to grow to $42 billion by 2030.Exela’s growth has been slowing in recent years. Blame it on intensifying competition, slower-than-expected adoption of its products, and uncertain macroeconomic conditions. However, the company has made some progress in adapting its business model to the new realities of the global business process automation software market. It is now well-positioned to capitalize on the secular tailwinds driving demand for its solutions.Palatin Technologies (PTN)Palatin Technologies(NYSEMKT:PTN) is an up-and-coming biotech company that is based in New Jersey. Its chief product, Vyleesi, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in June 2019 for treating HSDD (hypoactive sexual desire disorder) in premenopausal women.PL9643, another drug in its pipeline, helps treat dry eye disease. In addition, Palatin is developing a drug that can effectively treat ulcerative colitis. Its PL8177 has passed its first-stage trials and will be going into Phase 2 testing soon, with expected results by the end of 2022.In conclusion, Palatin holds an excellent portfolio of drugs in earlier stages of development. With several potential blockbuster drugs in its pipeline, this is a company with huge upside potential. So don’t miss out on this hidden gem. You will want to keep an eye on Palatin Technologies.FlexShopper (FPAY)FlexShopper(NASDAQ:FPAY) is an upcoming fintech company proving to be a great challenger in the current market. Its principal business is lease-to-own furniture, which is gaining ground as consumers become affected by inflation. Its lease-to-own offerings are an appealing and practical solution because they provide a way to get the furniture without breaking the bank.The percentage of consumers using financing or leasing programs has increased dramatically in the past year. A recent survey of 2,688 consumers in the U.S. found that nearly 58% used a financing or leasing program when buying durable goods within the past year. With inflation remaining at its highest rate in decades, the trend will not change anytime soon.The latest results from FlexShopper illustrate the company is doing very well due to these trends. Analysts expected a loss of 5 cents per share for the second quarter, and the company blew past those numbers with a 51-cent profit. Revenues of $36.55 million also outpaced analyst estimates of $32.08 million.Its recent performance is driven by several tailwinds. These include rising demand for its lease-to-own services, a favorable product mix and inflation. Given the company’s strong fundamentals and favorable industry trends, FlexShopper is in a great position to grow in the quarters ahead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":374,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9939056669,"gmtCreate":1662031694954,"gmtModify":1676536636261,"author":{"id":"3585370461477110","authorId":"3585370461477110","name":"Jyozu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac83cb007e9144d9710ce08e1d562f3b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9939056669","repostId":"1112269042","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1112269042","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1662018327,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1112269042?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-01 15:45","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Tiger Chart｜VIX Surged Over 21% in August; U.S. Stock Indexes Suffered Biggest Declines Since 2015","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1112269042","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Major stock indexes mixed in August, with S&P/ASX 200, STI Index rising slightly, U.S. major indexes","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Major stock indexes mixed in August, with S&amp;P/ASX 200, STI Index rising slightly, U.S. major indexes suffered their biggest monthly percentage declines in August since 2015, while VIX surged 21.28%.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea3b1f3c80d9fad1a6703f7e2f8246eb\" tg-width=\"746\" tg-height=\"1101\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Selling pressure accelerated after Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#39;s hawkish remarks on Friday about keeping monetary policy tight &#34;for some time&#34; dashed hopes of more modest interest rate hikes, with the benchmark index down more than 5% over the past four trading sessions.</p><p>10 of the 11 sectors of the S&amp;P 500 ended in the red for August, with Information Technology the top loser.

The SEC said the private-equity firm should have filed the ownership-disclosure update once it &#34;had abandoned its interest in acquiring Hanger&#34; and formed a plan to sell its shares.</p><p>Earlier this year, the SEC proposed a rule that would require investors to file updates to their ownership disclosure within one business day.

The company has selected asset manager Sixth Street Partners, a Dallas-based firm that makes loans to troubled companies, to provide new financing. Some vendors have been pulling credit to the company in recent weeks, sources have told The Wall Street Journal.</p><p>Some analysts say Mr. Cohen took advantage of the exuberance of those who favor speculative securities known as meme stocks. These investors, who call themselves &#34;apes,&#34; are among individuals who purchased a net $131 million of Bed Bath &amp; Beyond shares on Aug. 16 and 17, according to Vanda Research.

Shares tumbled after news of his sales came out on the afternoon of the 17th, but meanwhile Mr. Cohen benefited from a huge surge in volume that enabled him to sell millions of shares while prices rose.An ownership disclosure that Mr. Cohen filed on the morning he began selling included a trivial update about the size of his holdings and said he hadn't done any trading in Bed Bath & Beyond during the prior 60 days.The SEC requires activist investors to file the ownership disclosure, known as a 13D, when they acquire at least 5% of a company's shares and plan to influence or control the company. SEC rules dictate that investors must promptly  update the form to reflect any material changes to what they first disclosed, such as new plans to buy or sell shares.Within minutes or hours of the ownership disclosure, Mr. Cohen began selling. Individual investors \"have no idea he is dumping the stock against them,\" said Joshua Mitts, a law professor at Columbia University who specializes in analytical research on trading strategies.The Securities and Exchange Commission could investigate whether Mr. Cohen had a plan to sell before he filed the Aug. 16 update that he should have disclosed, according to former regulators and law professors who specialize in securities law. The SEC's enforcement division hasn't contacted him, according to a person familiar with the matter.\"The question here is at the time that Cohen filed that trivial update, had he firmed up his decision to sell?\" said Keith Higgins, a former director of the SEC division that oversees public-company disclosures. \"And if he did or if he had, that omission is problematic.\"A person familiar with Mr. Cohen's trading said his filings complied with rules, and he didn't make any offers or seek any prices for his Bed Bath & Beyond shares before making the Aug. 16 ownership disclosure update.Many large investors don't formulate written plans to buy or sell, to avoid triggering the requirement to update the ownership disclosure, said Adam Pritchard, a securities and corporate law professor at the University of Michigan. \"If you are properly lawyered, you don't have a plan until you decide you are going to sell,\" Mr. Pritchard said.Instead, activist investors typically disclose that they could either buy or sell, which they say satisfies their disclosure requirements while giving them room to change their minds, according to lawyers who practice in the area. In some cases, investors have disclosed plans to sell their stakes before trading.\"If his intent was to truly do nothing\" on the morning of Aug. 16, \"then that is a hard enforcement case,\" Mr. Mitts said. \"If I were the SEC, I would want really clear evidence that the trading decision had been made.\"The SEC sometimes brings enforcement actions when it believes investors have violated these rules. In 2008, regulators said Tracinda Corp., the holding company of famed investor Kirk Kerkorian, failed to properly reveal a plan to sell 28 million shares of General Motors Co. The settlement order said the 13D calls for determining \"whether additional disclosures are required before any such purchase or sale.\"Tracinda settled the enforcement action without paying a penalty.In another case settled two years ago, private-equity firm WCAS Management Corp. paid $100,000 to settle SEC claims that it failed to update its disclosures about a plan to take over Hanger Inc.

These days, Walt Disney Co. has a new magic trick: wringing every last dollar out of each visitor to its profitable theme parks.</p><p>Over the past two years, as Florida&#39;s Walt Disney World Resort and Southern California&#39;s Disneyland Resort have emerged from the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic, the company has made a host of changes that have sent the cost of a visit to a Disney resort skyward.</p><p>The outcome is a bonanza for Disney: Even as the company limits the number of visitors and keeps attendance at its U.S. theme parks below prepandemic levels, they are generating record sales and profits.</p><p>The results reflect a major strategic shift on Disney&#39;s part, where the company is focused less on maximizing the quantity of visitors and more on increasing how much money each visitor spends, an approach the company refers to as yield management. Improving the visitor experience, the thinking goes, will prompt guests to spend more hours -- and therefore more money -- at the parks because they are having such a good time.</p><p>The biggest change in the past two years -- and the most lucrative for Disney -- is the introduction of a smartphone-app feature called Genie+ that costs $15 per person a day, on top of the price of admission, and allows parkgoers to skip the unreserved lines for some attractions, which the company refers to as &#34;standby.&#34; But Genie+ doesn&#39;t cover everything. To skip the standby lines at the most sought-after attractions, including some Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy-themed rides, reservations now cost an additional $10 to $17. Standby waits for popular attractions can last hours.</p><p>At the same time, many benefits that used to be free -- from parking for certain annual passholders to airport shuttles to MagicBand wristbands that serve as combination hotel-room keys and park passes -- have been eliminated or now come with a price. Disney has raised prices on hotel rooms, food and merchandise over the past year as inflation has climbed to record levels in the U.S.</p><p>Disney&#39;s theme-park pricing is determined by &#34;pure supply and demand,&#34; said a company spokeswoman. &#34;No different than airplanes, hotels or cruise ships.&#34;</p><p>In the quarter that ended Jan. 1, Disney&#39;s domestic parks set records in both quarterly revenue and operating income, then broke both of them six months later. For the quarter that ended July 2, the business unit that includes the theme parks also posted record revenue of $5.42 billion and record operating income of $1.65 billion.</p><p>Josh D&#39;Amaro, the chairman of Disney&#39;s parks, experiences and products division, said that the changes have given visitors more choice about how to spend their time and money at the parks, while at the same time making the parks &#34;extremely commercially successful.&#34;</p><p>In fiscal 2021, the first year that both of Disney&#39;s two main U.S. resorts had reopened following the worst of the coronavirus pandemic, attendance at Disney&#39;s U.S. parks fell by 17% compared with the previous year, the company reported, but per-capita spending by guests grew by 17%, or nearly three times the average annual growth rate during the previous decade. Disney doesn&#39;t disclose attendance for its theme parks.</p><p>At the same time, the changes driving the increases in revenue and profit have drawn the ire of what Disney calls &#34;legacy fans,&#34; or longtime parks loyalists, including annual passholders who feel they are being pushed to the side in favor of big-spending families taking once-a-year, or even a once-in-a-lifetime, vacations.</p><p>&#34;Disney has this love-hate relationship with annual passholders,&#34; said Len Testa, a computer scientist who runs Touring Plans, a travel company that offers apps to help visitors find deals and navigate their trips to Walt Disney World and publishes a popular guide to Disney theme parks.</p><p>On one hand, they provide a reliable source of revenue -- the investment bank UBS estimated early last year that annual passholders at Disneyland account for about one half of annual visits -- but on the other, annual passholders tend to spend less than other visitors per visit, Mr. Testa said.</p><p>A typical annual pass holder might ride only one ride during a visit, eat an ice cream cone and walk around for a few hours, taking up capacity that might otherwise be used by out-of-state visitors, Mr. Testa said.</p><p>&#34;Those people would have stayed all day,&#34; he said. &#34;They would have eaten multiple times in the restaurants, they may have stayed in the hotel. They would definitely be buying more merchandise.&#34;</p><p>Since its introduction in the fall of 2021, Genie+ has become an increasingly popular tool. About half of visitors to the parks pay for and use Genie+, Disney said in a recent conference call with Wall Street analysts. And of those who pay for Genie+, 70% say in post-visit surveys that they plan to do so again, Disney says.</p><p>Disney has stopped selling nearly all new annual passes to Disneyland and Walt Disney World and has done away with a host of free perks that annual passholders used to enjoy. Existing annual passholders can renew their passes, although earlier this month, the company raised the renewal price for its highest-tier annual passes to Disneyland by 14%, to $1,599 from $1,399, while at the same time introducing more blackout days when passholders can&#39;t visit, angering some of the park&#39;s most ardent fans.</p><p>The parks have grown considerably since Walt Disney World opened in 1971. Over the past decade, Disney has added rides based on popular franchises such as Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Toy Story films and the 2009 film &#34;Avatar.&#34; A roller coaster at Magic Kingdom based on the Tron films is under construction.</p><p>The parks business has buoyed Disney&#39;s stock price and boosted financial results at a time when the company is losing billions on other businesses, like the popular but cost-heavy Disney+ streaming service.</p><p>Mr. D&#39;Amaro, the parks chief, is a 24-year veteran of the company who ran both Disneyland and Walt Disney World individually in previous roles.</p><p>He keeps a high profile with fans and employees, making frequent appearances at the parks outside of major events and posting about his visits on social media.</p><p>By contrast, his predecessor, Bob Chapek, who is now Disney&#39;s chief executive, walked the park grounds less frequently and wasn&#39;t as outgoing with visitors, according to Disney employees who worked under him.</p><p>On a recent, hourlong walk through Disneyland, Mr. D&#39;Amaro was stopped more than 20 times by visitors and cast members -- as Disney employees are known in company lingo -- who asked to take selfies with him and thanked him for his work. Mr. D&#39;Amaro has 144,000 followers on Instagram, where he posts pictures of himself inside the parks alongside costumed employees, riding roller coasters, brandishing lightsabers and eating soft-serve.</p><p>Mr. D&#39;Amaro said he&#39;s aware of the tension caused by rising prices and other changes, especially for annual passholders, but describes it as the inevitable result of progress, and insists that every change Disney has implemented at the parks is in service of improving visitors&#39; trips.</p><p>Other top Disney executives say the company is merely reacting to consumer behavior. &#34;Demand has not abated&#34; at the parks, Disney Chief Financial Officer Christine McCarthy told analysts in a conference call in August, explaining why the company wasn&#39;t considering opening up the parks to more days for annual passholders. The new reservation system has allowed the company to limit attendance without having to turn visitors away when the parks become overcrowded, as it occasionally did in previous years.</p><p>The company also points out that it offers frequent promotions, including discounted room rates at its hotels, packages that become more economical the more days a visitor spends at the park, and discounts for residents of Southern California and Florida.</p><p>Other theme-park operators are also reaping the benefits of increased guest spending. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SIX\">Six Flags Entertainment Corp</a>. and Cedar Fair LP, which operates Cedar Point in Ohio and Knott&#39;s Berry Farm in California, have both raised prices, while <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SEAS\">SeaWorld Entertainment Inc.</a> implemented a 5% surcharge on food and beverages.</p><p>Sara Suvada, a Starbucks shift supervisor and barista from Auburn Hills, Mich., took her first trip to Walt Disney World in January, at the age of 42, along with her husband and 6-year-old daughter. She said the trip was the fulfillment of a fantasy from her childhood, when money was tight in her family.</p><p>The family spent around $5,000 -- most of it paid for by Ms. Suvada&#39;s in-laws -- on admission, meals and lodging at Disney&#39;s Saratoga Springs Resort. Ms. Suvada spent around $400 on souvenirs and concessions, while her husband told her he nearly maxed out his credit card on trinkets and snacks.</p><p>The memories made up for the price tag, though, she said. She cried when she saw Cinderella Castle for the first time. Her daughter loved riding the Space Mountain roller coaster and meeting her favorite princess, Tiana, from 2009&#39;s &#34;The Princess and the Frog.&#34; And the family savored tasting their first Dole Whip frozen treat. Ms. Suvada is already thinking about returning with her mother.</p><p>&#34;The memories are worth more than gold,&#34; she said. &#34;Even if I did suffer from overdraft fees once I got home, when the reality set in.&#34;</p><p>Some longtime fans who come to the park regularly, and aren&#39;t splurging on once-in-a-lifetime memories, complain about the new fees.</p><p>&#34;I just really resent the nickel-and-diming,&#34; said David Arone, a 50-year-old gym teacher and volleyball coach from Redondo Beach, Calif. Mr. Arone has been a Disneyland annual pass holder for five years, and says he visits the park more than 100 times a year, primarily because it reminds him of his best childhood friend, a Disney superfan who died of a heart attack in 2013.</p><p>“I know it sounds hokey, but every time I go, I feel like he’s there with me,” Mr. Arone said of his friend. Most visits, he doesn’t ride any attractions at all. Instead, he just walks around for a few hours, eats ice cream, watches fireworks and reminisces about visiting the park with his late friend.</p><p>But he chafes at recent changes. Previously, he could stop by Disneyland for a few hours after work any day he wanted. Now he can’t go on the growing number of blackout days for annual passholders.</p><p>On a recent visit, Mr. Arone sported a homemade T-shirt with the words “Chapek Killed The Magic” on it — a reference to Mr. Chapek, the CEO, who he blames for rising prices and other changes.</p><p>The company said annual passholders like Mr. Arone “are amongst our most special guests.”</p><p>This month, the company reported that ticket-price increases were offset by an “unfavorable attendance mix” at Disneyland, which many fans interpreted as a reference to annual passholders who typically spend less per visit than individual ticket-buyers. Fans recently started posting pictures of themselves at the parks on social media, wearing T-shirts reading “Unfavorable” in protest.</p><p>Disney said that “unfavorable mix” is financial parlance meant for investors, and “not a consumer term.”</p><p>In 2021, a Disneyland annual pass holder sued Disney, alleging that the company engaged in deceptive practices by artificially limiting how many of them could visit the park on certain days. In May, a U.S. District Court judge in California ruled that the suit could go forward. The plaintiff has said she is seeking class-action certification.</p><p>Even some customers who come on special annual visits say they are getting fed up with rising prices.</p><p>Renea Warren has made the pilgrimage to Walt Disney World nearly every year since 2001. But after tallying up the costs of this year’s vacation, the retail executive and mother of one said she has had enough.</p><p>On a nine-day family trip to Florida in late July with her mother and daughter, Ms. Warren tried to save money by spending just two days at Disney theme parks, instead of the usual four. Despite the family’s efforts, visits to Magic Kingdom and Epcot blew up their budget. Park passes set them back more than $800; food was about $200; and they dropped $300 on souvenirs.</p><p>Since Ms. Warren, who lives in Benton Harbor, Mich., owns a timeshare about 20 minutes’ drive from Walt Disney World, her family will likely return to central Florida next year, but they’ll consider rival attractions at Universal Studios Florida and SeaWorld, she said. Returning to Disney every year is no longer an option.</p><p>“Because of the astronomical expenses, I definitely think the magic is being taken away,” she said.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ddece4dde7a12f3dd97f5c7acc2ea5f5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"560\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Out-of-town tourists tend to dine more at Disneyland and Walt Disney World restaurants than annual passholders.</span></p><p>The Genie+ app feature replaced a system known as FastPass that used to come free with any ticket sold at Disneyland or Walt Disney World. The new service—along with a free version, known simply as Genie—does more than make Disney money: It also helps the parks’ operators direct traffic and spread people around the parks more evenly, to reduce waiting times overall, and upsell visitors by offering them promotions on food, merchandise and ride-reservation fees.</p><p>Each park has an operation center with a “heat map” that tracks where Genie+ users are in the parks using GPS technology. Park operators can direct traffic using the app by notifying visitors where the shortest lines are and offering food and merchandise promotions to cajole them to other areas.</p><p>“If I’m seeing too much activity on the west side, I’m able to spread where I direct people to the east side,” Mr. D’Amaro said. “Our attractions will be load-balanced better, and lines will be shorter, and what that means is the experience will be better.”</p><p>In an analysis for The Wall Street Journal, Touring Plans analyzed room prices, including taxes, at three popular Walt Disney World hotels over the past decade, and found increases that far outpaced inflation, which in July hit a record high of 9.1%.</p><p>At Pop Century, a “value” hotel at the Orlando resort, the cheapest room rate rose to $168 this year from $95 in 2013. At the deluxe Animal Kingdom Lodge, a standard room now costs as much as $790 a night, versus up to $486 a decade ago.</p><p>Prices for tickets and certain food items have also climbed faster than inflation over the past decade, the Touring Plans analysis found. Disney fan blogs have noted that classic purchases at Disney parks, including the pineapple Dole Whip frozen treat ($5.99 last year, $6.99 this year at some locations) and studded Mickey Mouse-ears headbands ($29.99 last summer, now $39.99) are quickly getting costlier, outpacing inflation.</p><p>In other cases, Disney has curtailed benefits. Guests staying at Disney-owned and certain other hotels at Walt Disney World before Covid could avail themselves of Extra Magic Hours, during which hotel guests could enter certain theme parks early or stay at them later into the night.</p><p>Today, Disney offers early entry at all four of its Walt Disney World parks each day to hotel guests, but only for 30 minutes; before the pandemic, it offered an hour of early admission, but only every other day. Evening extended hours are now only available to visitors staying at the most-expensive “deluxe” tier of hotels.</p><p>Disney says some guests prefer the new arrangement.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/27dc0d0d2ff25c603de836bbc848a3dd\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"1008\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Room rates at some Disney World hotels have risen faster than inflation, according to an analysis for The Wall Street Journal.</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85f8a1d22a244c979764798bc617bbbd\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"1008\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Disney World discontinued a free shuttle bus that took guests at its hotels to the Orlando airport.</span></p><p>Mariana Epperson, a 29-year-old mom from Kentucky who works as an account manager for a credit-ratings firm, spent part of her honeymoon at Disneyland, and Walt Disney World is the site of some of her final happy memories with her father, who died a few weeks after she took a trip there with her family in May.</p><p>“A lot of people will say, ‘Oh, I can go to Europe for cheaper,’ ” she said. “But Disney now holds the last really good memories of my dad, so for me it’s so important. I can always make more money.”</p><p>Even so, this summer, her husband told her he needed a break from the theme parks. They’ve visited Disney resorts six times since 2017, and the parks are getting way too expensive, she said. For their family vacation next year, they are thinking about a Disney cruise. Packages for three-night cruises from San Diego or Miami start at just over $1,000. An ocean-view cabin costs more. So do between-meal snacks and excursions ashore.</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>Disney's New Pricing Magic: More Profit From Fewer Park Visitors</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\">\nDisney's New Pricing Magic: More Profit From Fewer Park Visitors\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\">2022-08-29 13:16</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a1c4cb6635c813100172f638ec1f4cfb\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"853\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Walt Disney used to call Disneyland his &#34;magic kingdom.&#34; These days, Walt Disney Co. has a new magic trick: wringing every last dollar out of each visitor to its profitable theme parks.</p><p>Over the past two years, as Florida&#39;s Walt Disney World Resort and Southern California&#39;s Disneyland Resort have emerged from the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic, the company has made a host of changes that have sent the cost of a visit to a Disney resort skyward.</p><p>The outcome is a bonanza for Disney: Even as the company limits the number of visitors and keeps attendance at its U.S. theme parks below prepandemic levels, they are generating record sales and profits.</p><p>The results reflect a major strategic shift on Disney&#39;s part, where the company is focused less on maximizing the quantity of visitors and more on increasing how much money each visitor spends, an approach the company refers to as yield management. Improving the visitor experience, the thinking goes, will prompt guests to spend more hours -- and therefore more money -- at the parks because they are having such a good time.</p><p>The biggest change in the past two years -- and the most lucrative for Disney -- is the introduction of a smartphone-app feature called Genie+ that costs $15 per person a day, on top of the price of admission, and allows parkgoers to skip the unreserved lines for some attractions, which the company refers to as &#34;standby.&#34; But Genie+ doesn&#39;t cover everything. To skip the standby lines at the most sought-after attractions, including some Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy-themed rides, reservations now cost an additional $10 to $17. Standby waits for popular attractions can last hours.</p><p>At the same time, many benefits that used to be free -- from parking for certain annual passholders to airport shuttles to MagicBand wristbands that serve as combination hotel-room keys and park passes -- have been eliminated or now come with a price. Disney has raised prices on hotel rooms, food and merchandise over the past year as inflation has climbed to record levels in the U.S.</p><p>Disney&#39;s theme-park pricing is determined by &#34;pure supply and demand,&#34; said a company spokeswoman. &#34;No different than airplanes, hotels or cruise ships.&#34;</p><p>In the quarter that ended Jan. 1, Disney&#39;s domestic parks set records in both quarterly revenue and operating income, then broke both of them six months later. For the quarter that ended July 2, the business unit that includes the theme parks also posted record revenue of $5.42 billion and record operating income of $1.65 billion.</p><p>Josh D&#39;Amaro, the chairman of Disney&#39;s parks, experiences and products division, said that the changes have given visitors more choice about how to spend their time and money at the parks, while at the same time making the parks &#34;extremely commercially successful.&#34;</p><p>In fiscal 2021, the first year that both of Disney&#39;s two main U.S. resorts had reopened following the worst of the coronavirus pandemic, attendance at Disney&#39;s U.S. parks fell by 17% compared with the previous year, the company reported, but per-capita spending by guests grew by 17%, or nearly three times the average annual growth rate during the previous decade. Disney doesn&#39;t disclose attendance for its theme parks.</p><p>At the same time, the changes driving the increases in revenue and profit have drawn the ire of what Disney calls &#34;legacy fans,&#34; or longtime parks loyalists, including annual passholders who feel they are being pushed to the side in favor of big-spending families taking once-a-year, or even a once-in-a-lifetime, vacations.</p><p>&#34;Disney has this love-hate relationship with annual passholders,&#34; said Len Testa, a computer scientist who runs Touring Plans, a travel company that offers apps to help visitors find deals and navigate their trips to Walt Disney World and publishes a popular guide to Disney theme parks.</p><p>On one hand, they provide a reliable source of revenue -- the investment bank UBS estimated early last year that annual passholders at Disneyland account for about one half of annual visits -- but on the other, annual passholders tend to spend less than other visitors per visit, Mr. Testa said.</p><p>A typical annual pass holder might ride only one ride during a visit, eat an ice cream cone and walk around for a few hours, taking up capacity that might otherwise be used by out-of-state visitors, Mr. Testa said.</p><p>&#34;Those people would have stayed all day,&#34; he said. &#34;They would have eaten multiple times in the restaurants, they may have stayed in the hotel. They would definitely be buying more merchandise.&#34;</p><p>Since its introduction in the fall of 2021, Genie+ has become an increasingly popular tool. About half of visitors to the parks pay for and use Genie+, Disney said in a recent conference call with Wall Street analysts. And of those who pay for Genie+, 70% say in post-visit surveys that they plan to do so again, Disney says.</p><p>Disney has stopped selling nearly all new annual passes to Disneyland and Walt Disney World and has done away with a host of free perks that annual passholders used to enjoy. Existing annual passholders can renew their passes, although earlier this month, the company raised the renewal price for its highest-tier annual passes to Disneyland by 14%, to $1,599 from $1,399, while at the same time introducing more blackout days when passholders can&#39;t visit, angering some of the park&#39;s most ardent fans.</p><p>The parks have grown considerably since Walt Disney World opened in 1971.

Mr. D&#39;Amaro has 144,000 followers on Instagram, where he posts pictures of himself inside the parks alongside costumed employees, riding roller coasters, brandishing lightsabers and eating soft-serve.</p><p>Mr. D&#39;Amaro said he&#39;s aware of the tension caused by rising prices and other changes, especially for annual passholders, but describes it as the inevitable result of progress, and insists that every change Disney has implemented at the parks is in service of improving visitors&#39; trips.</p><p>Other top Disney executives say the company is merely reacting to consumer behavior. &#34;Demand has not abated&#34; at the parks, Disney Chief Financial Officer Christine McCarthy told analysts in a conference call in August, explaining why the company wasn&#39;t considering opening up the parks to more days for annual passholders. The new reservation system has allowed the company to limit attendance without having to turn visitors away when the parks become overcrowded, as it occasionally did in previous years.</p><p>The company also points out that it offers frequent promotions, including discounted room rates at its hotels, packages that become more economical the more days a visitor spends at the park, and discounts for residents of Southern California and Florida.</p><p>Other theme-park operators are also reaping the benefits of increased guest spending. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SIX\">Six Flags Entertainment Corp</a>. and Cedar Fair LP, which operates Cedar Point in Ohio and Knott&#39;s Berry Farm in California, have both raised prices, while <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SEAS\">SeaWorld Entertainment Inc.</a> implemented a 5% surcharge on food and beverages.</p><p>Sara Suvada, a Starbucks shift supervisor and barista from Auburn Hills, Mich., took her first trip to Walt Disney World in January, at the age of 42, along with her husband and 6-year-old daughter. She said the trip was the fulfillment of a fantasy from her childhood, when money was tight in her family.</p><p>The family spent around $5,000 -- most of it paid for by Ms. Suvada&#39;s in-laws -- on admission, meals and lodging at Disney&#39;s Saratoga Springs Resort. Ms. Suvada spent around $400 on souvenirs and concessions, while her husband told her he nearly maxed out his credit card on trinkets and snacks.</p><p>The memories made up for the price tag, though, she said. She cried when she saw Cinderella Castle for the first time. Her daughter loved riding the Space Mountain roller coaster and meeting her favorite princess, Tiana, from 2009&#39;s &#34;The Princess and the Frog.&#34; And the family savored tasting their first Dole Whip frozen treat. Ms. Suvada is already thinking about returning with her mother.</p><p>&#34;The memories are worth more than gold,&#34; she said. &#34;Even if I did suffer from overdraft fees once I got home, when the reality set in.&#34;</p><p>Some longtime fans who come to the park regularly, and aren&#39;t splurging on once-in-a-lifetime memories, complain about the new fees.</p><p>&#34;I just really resent the nickel-and-diming,&#34; said David Arone, a 50-year-old gym teacher and volleyball coach from Redondo Beach, Calif. Mr. Arone has been a Disneyland annual pass holder for five years, and says he visits the park more than 100 times a year, primarily because it reminds him of his best childhood friend, a Disney superfan who died of a heart attack in 2013.</p><p>“I know it sounds hokey, but every time I go, I feel like he’s there with me,” Mr. Arone said of his friend. Most visits, he doesn’t ride any attractions at all. Instead, he just walks around for a few hours, eats ice cream, watches fireworks and reminisces about visiting the park with his late friend.</p><p>But he chafes at recent changes. Previously, he could stop by Disneyland for a few hours after work any day he wanted. Now he can’t go on the growing number of blackout days for annual passholders.</p><p>On a recent visit, Mr. Arone sported a homemade T-shirt with the words “Chapek Killed The Magic” on it — a reference to Mr. Chapek, the CEO, who he blames for rising prices and other changes.</p><p>The company said annual passholders like Mr. Arone “are amongst our most special guests.”</p><p>This month, the company reported that ticket-price increases were offset by an “unfavorable attendance mix” at Disneyland, which many fans interpreted as a reference to annual passholders who typically spend less per visit than individual ticket-buyers. Fans recently started posting pictures of themselves at the parks on social media, wearing T-shirts reading “Unfavorable” in protest.</p><p>Disney said that “unfavorable mix” is financial parlance meant for investors, and “not a consumer term.”</p><p>In 2021, a Disneyland annual pass holder sued Disney, alleging that the company engaged in deceptive practices by artificially limiting how many of them could visit the park on certain days. In May, a U.S. District Court judge in California ruled that the suit could go forward. The plaintiff has said she is seeking class-action certification.</p><p>Even some customers who come on special annual visits say they are getting fed up with rising prices.</p><p>Renea Warren has made the pilgrimage to Walt Disney World nearly every year since 2001. But after tallying up the costs of this year’s vacation, the retail executive and mother of one said she has had enough.</p><p>On a nine-day family trip to Florida in late July with her mother and daughter, Ms. Warren tried to save money by spending just two days at Disney theme parks, instead of the usual four. Despite the family’s efforts, visits to Magic Kingdom and Epcot blew up their budget. Park passes set them back more than $800; food was about $200; and they dropped $300 on souvenirs.</p><p>Since Ms. Warren, who lives in Benton Harbor, Mich., owns a timeshare about 20 minutes’ drive from Walt Disney World, her family will likely return to central Florida next year, but they’ll consider rival attractions at Universal Studios Florida and SeaWorld, she said. Returning to Disney every year is no longer an option.</p><p>“Because of the astronomical expenses, I definitely think the magic is being taken away,” she said.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ddece4dde7a12f3dd97f5c7acc2ea5f5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"560\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Out-of-town tourists tend to dine more at Disneyland and Walt Disney World restaurants than annual passholders.</span></p><p>The Genie+ app feature replaced a system known as FastPass that used to come free with any ticket sold at Disneyland or Walt Disney World. The new service—along with a free version, known simply as Genie—does more than make Disney money: It also helps the parks’ operators direct traffic and spread people around the parks more evenly, to reduce waiting times overall, and upsell visitors by offering them promotions on food, merchandise and ride-reservation fees.</p><p>Each park has an operation center with a “heat map” that tracks where Genie+ users are in the parks using GPS technology. Park operators can direct traffic using the app by notifying visitors where the shortest lines are and offering food and merchandise promotions to cajole them to other areas.</p><p>“If I’m seeing too much activity on the west side, I’m able to spread where I direct people to the east side,” Mr. D’Amaro said. “Our attractions will be load-balanced better, and lines will be shorter, and what that means is the experience will be better.”</p><p>In an analysis for The Wall Street Journal, Touring Plans analyzed room prices, including taxes, at three popular Walt Disney World hotels over the past decade, and found increases that far outpaced inflation, which in July hit a record high of 9.1%.</p><p>At Pop Century, a “value” hotel at the Orlando resort, the cheapest room rate rose to $168 this year from $95 in 2013. At the deluxe Animal Kingdom Lodge, a standard room now costs as much as $790 a night, versus up to $486 a decade ago.</p><p>Prices for tickets and certain food items have also climbed faster than inflation over the past decade, the Touring Plans analysis found. Disney fan blogs have noted that classic purchases at Disney parks, including the pineapple Dole Whip frozen treat ($5.99 last year, $6.99 this year at some locations) and studded Mickey Mouse-ears headbands ($29.99 last summer, now $39.99) are quickly getting costlier, outpacing inflation.</p><p>In other cases, Disney has curtailed benefits. Guests staying at Disney-owned and certain other hotels at Walt Disney World before Covid could avail themselves of Extra Magic Hours, during which hotel guests could enter certain theme parks early or stay at them later into the night.</p><p>Today, Disney offers early entry at all four of its Walt Disney World parks each day to hotel guests, but only for 30 minutes; before the pandemic, it offered an hour of early admission, but only every other day. Evening extended hours are now only available to visitors staying at the most-expensive “deluxe” tier of hotels.</p><p>Disney says some guests prefer the new arrangement.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/27dc0d0d2ff25c603de836bbc848a3dd\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"1008\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Room rates at some Disney World hotels have risen faster than inflation, according to an analysis for The Wall Street Journal.</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85f8a1d22a244c979764798bc617bbbd\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"1008\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Disney World discontinued a free shuttle bus that took guests at its hotels to the Orlando airport.</span></p><p>Mariana Epperson, a 29-year-old mom from Kentucky who works as an account manager for a credit-ratings firm, spent part of her honeymoon at Disneyland, and Walt Disney World is the site of some of her final happy memories with her father, who died a few weeks after she took a trip there with her family in May.</p><p>“A lot of people will say, ‘Oh, I can go to Europe for cheaper,’ ” she said. “But Disney now holds the last really good memories of my dad, so for me it’s so important. I can always make more money.”</p><p>Even so, this summer, her husband told her he needed a break from the theme parks. They’ve visited Disney resorts six times since 2017, and the parks are getting way too expensive, she said. For their family vacation next year, they are thinking about a Disney cruise. Packages for three-night cruises from San Diego or Miami start at just over $1,000. An ocean-view cabin costs more.

Ms. Suvada is already thinking about returning with her mother.\"The memories are worth more than gold,\" she said. \"Even if I did suffer from overdraft fees once I got home, when the reality set in.\"Some longtime fans who come to the park regularly, and aren't splurging on once-in-a-lifetime memories, complain about the new fees.\"I just really resent the nickel-and-diming,\" said David Arone, a 50-year-old gym teacher and volleyball coach from Redondo Beach, Calif. Mr. Arone has been a Disneyland annual pass holder for five years, and says he visits the park more than 100 times a year, primarily because it reminds him of his best childhood friend, a Disney superfan who died of a heart attack in 2013.“I know it sounds hokey, but every time I go, I feel like he’s there with me,” Mr. Arone said of his friend. Most visits, he doesn’t ride any attractions at all. Instead, he just walks around for a few hours, eats ice cream, watches fireworks and reminisces about visiting the park with his late friend.But he chafes at recent changes. Previously, he could stop by Disneyland for a few hours after work any day he wanted. Now he can’t go on the growing number of blackout days for annual passholders.On a recent visit, Mr. Arone sported a homemade T-shirt with the words “Chapek Killed The Magic” on it — a reference to Mr. Chapek, the CEO, who he blames for rising prices and other changes.The company said annual passholders like Mr. Arone “are amongst our most special guests.”This month, the company reported that ticket-price increases were offset by an “unfavorable attendance mix” at Disneyland, which many fans interpreted as a reference to annual passholders who typically spend less per visit than individual ticket-buyers. Fans recently started posting pictures of themselves at the parks on social media, wearing T-shirts reading “Unfavorable” in protest.Disney said that “unfavorable mix” is financial parlance meant for investors, and “not a consumer term.”In 2021, a Disneyland annual pass holder sued Disney, alleging that the company engaged in deceptive practices by artificially limiting how many of them could visit the park on certain days. In May, a U.S. District Court judge in California ruled that the suit could go forward. The plaintiff has said she is seeking class-action certification.Even some customers who come on special annual visits say they are getting fed up with rising prices.Renea Warren has made the pilgrimage to Walt Disney World nearly every year since 2001. But after tallying up the costs of this year’s vacation, the retail executive and mother of one said she has had enough.On a nine-day family trip to Florida in late July with her mother and daughter, Ms. Warren tried to save money by spending just two days at Disney theme parks, instead of the usual four. Despite the family’s efforts, visits to Magic Kingdom and Epcot blew up their budget. Park passes set them back more than $800; food was about $200; and they dropped $300 on souvenirs.Since Ms. Warren, who lives in Benton Harbor, Mich., owns a timeshare about 20 minutes’ drive from Walt Disney World, her family will likely return to central Florida next year, but they’ll consider rival attractions at Universal Studios Florida and SeaWorld, she said. Returning to Disney every year is no longer an option.“Because of the astronomical expenses, I definitely think the magic is being taken away,” she said.Out-of-town tourists tend to dine more at Disneyland and Walt Disney World restaurants than annual passholders.The Genie+ app feature replaced a system known as FastPass that used to come free with any ticket sold at Disneyland or Walt Disney World. The new service—along with a free version, known simply as Genie—does more than make Disney money: It also helps the parks’ operators direct traffic and spread people around the parks more evenly, to reduce waiting times overall, and upsell visitors by offering them promotions on food, merchandise and ride-reservation fees.Each park has an operation center with a “heat map” that tracks where Genie+ users are in the parks using GPS technology. Park operators can direct traffic using the app by notifying visitors where the shortest lines are and offering food and merchandise promotions to cajole them to other areas.“If I’m seeing too much activity on the west side, I’m able to spread where I direct people to the east side,” Mr. D’Amaro said. “Our attractions will be load-balanced better, and lines will be shorter, and what that means is the experience will be better.”In an analysis for The Wall Street Journal, Touring Plans analyzed room prices, including taxes, at three popular Walt Disney World hotels over the past decade, and found increases that far outpaced inflation, which in July hit a record high of 9.1%.At Pop Century, a “value” hotel at the Orlando resort, the cheapest room rate rose to $168 this year from $95 in 2013. At the deluxe Animal Kingdom Lodge, a standard room now costs as much as $790 a night, versus up to $486 a decade ago.Prices for tickets and certain food items have also climbed faster than inflation over the past decade, the Touring Plans analysis found. Disney fan blogs have noted that classic purchases at Disney parks, including the pineapple Dole Whip frozen treat ($5.99 last year, $6.99 this year at some locations) and studded Mickey Mouse-ears headbands ($29.99 last summer, now $39.99) are quickly getting costlier, outpacing inflation.In other cases, Disney has curtailed benefits. Guests staying at Disney-owned and certain other hotels at Walt Disney World before Covid could avail themselves of Extra Magic Hours, during which hotel guests could enter certain theme parks early or stay at them later into the night.Today, Disney offers early entry at all four of its Walt Disney World parks each day to hotel guests, but only for 30 minutes; before the pandemic, it offered an hour of early admission, but only every other day. Evening extended hours are now only available to visitors staying at the most-expensive “deluxe” tier of hotels.Disney says some guests prefer the new arrangement.Room rates at some Disney World hotels have risen faster than inflation, according to an analysis for The Wall Street Journal.Disney World discontinued a free shuttle bus that took guests at its hotels to the Orlando airport.Mariana Epperson, a 29-year-old mom from Kentucky who works as an account manager for a credit-ratings firm, spent part of her honeymoon at Disneyland, and Walt Disney World is the site of some of her final happy memories with her father, who died a few weeks after she took a trip there with her family in May.“A lot of people will say, ‘Oh, I can go to Europe for cheaper,’ ” she said. “But Disney now holds the last really good memories of my dad, so for me it’s so important. I can always make more money.”Even so, this summer, her husband told her he needed a break from the theme parks. They’ve visited Disney resorts six times since 2017, and the parks are getting way too expensive, she said. For their family vacation next year, they are thinking about a Disney cruise. Packages for three-night cruises from San Diego or Miami start at just over $1,000. An ocean-view cabin costs more. So do between-meal snacks and excursions ashore.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":65,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9994544623,"gmtCreate":1661662472064,"gmtModify":1676536557747,"author":{"id":"3585370461477110","authorId":"3585370461477110","name":"Jyozu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac83cb007e9144d9710ce08e1d562f3b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9994544623","repostId":"1161837457","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1161837457","pubTimestamp":1661645647,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1161837457?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-28 08:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nvidia: Guidance Is A Game-Changer","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1161837457","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryMassive slowdown in the Gaming business is affecting Nvidia’s revenue prospects.Revenue guida","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Summary</p><ul><li>Massive slowdown in the Gaming business is affecting Nvidia’s revenue prospects.</li><li>Revenue guidance for FQ3 was a real shocker as the outlook underperformed estimates by $1.0B.</li><li>Nvidia’s FY 2023 revenue estimates are set for a major downward revision.</li></ul><p>Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) finally released highly anticipated earnings for its second fiscal quarter of FY 2023.

Nvidia expects revenues of $5.90B plus or minus $118M, which would mark another 12% quarter-over-quarter decrease in consolidated revenues, which comes on top of the 19% quarter-over-quarter drop in revenues in FQ2. On an annualized basis, FQ3 revenues are down 29% compared to the beginning of the year, which marks a massive slowdown in Nvidia&#39;s business. The revenue downgrade for FQ3 occurred as Nvidia expects the Gaming industry to adjust to lower GPU demand and work throughhigh inventory levels. Nvidia&#39;s revenue guidance of $5.9B for FQ3 compares to aconsensus FQ3 estimate of $6.9B, meaning actual guidance was a massive $1.0B below the most recent revenue prediction.</p><p>I expected a sequential down-turn in revenues, led by Gaming, and projected FQ3 revenues to be between $6.0B to $6.2B, which reflected a sequential decline of up to 10%. Apparently, the situation in the Gaming industry is even more serious for Nvidia than expected, and it will affect how the market generates revenue estimates and values the stock going forward.</p><h3>My expectations for Nvidia going forward</h3><p>I expect Nvidia to continue to expand its Data Center business as demand for cloud computing, AI applications and hyper-scale platforms is only going to grow. However, I expect growth in this segment to be overshadowed by continual declines and pricing weakness in the Gaming segment. Worldwide PC shipments are expected to decline 9.5% (according toGartner) in 2022, but I believe the drop could be even larger if a deeper US recession were to bite.</p><p>Since there is no short-term solution to getting rid of high inventories in the PC industry, I expect pricing weakness in the GPU market to weigh on Nvidia&#39;s revenue potential. I also expect the pricing trend for both NVIDIA&#39;s GeForce RTX 30 and AMD&#39;s Radeon RX 6000 to remain negative, with larger discounts to the manufacturer&#39;s suggested retail price possible. Nvidia&#39;s RTX 30 GPU was available at a 9% discount to MSRP in July. Given the high inventory levels in the PC market paired with a drop-off in GPU demand, I expect Nvidia&#39;s flagship graphics card to trade at even higher discount to the MSRP going forward.</p><p>Because of the headwinds in the Gaming business, I expect Nvidia to generate about $27B in full-year revenues in FY 2023 (down from $28B), which means the chip maker could see no year-over-year growth whatsoever this year.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/297c23d10b4798c94de6cfa3ff793b91\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"802\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>NVDA Revenue (Quarterly YoY Growth) data by YCharts</p><p><b>Estimate and valuation risk</b></p><p>Nvidia&#39;s revenue estimates are now going to reset after the chip maker submitted a seriously bad guidance for its third fiscal quarter. As analysts incorporate Nvidia&#39;s FQ3&#39;23 revenue guidance into their projections, Nvidia is likely going to see a massive, broad-based reduction for its FY 2023 revenue predictions. Since lofty revenue expectations have been used to justify Nvidia&#39;s generous valuation, a reset of expectations has the potential to drive a downward revaluation of Nvidia&#39;s shares.</p><p>Nvidia&#39;s shares dropped 4.6% after regular trading yesterday and, I believe, the drop does not accurately reflect the seriousness of the sequential revenue downgrade. Nvidia currently has a P-S ratio of 12.2x, and if revenue estimates continue to fall, the valuation factor may even increase.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92263effbea15a27a9d0154ceff211d1\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"852\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>NVDA Revenue Estimates for Current Fiscal Yeardata by YCharts</p><p><b>Other risks/considerations with Nvidia</b></p><p>I see two big risks for Nvidia at this point in time.

This is because thePC market is in a declinewhich affects the shipment of Nvidia&#39;s GPUs. Secondly, revenue and earnings estimates, especially after the nightmarish guidance for FQ3&#39;23, will reflect a reset of growth expectations which in itself could lead Nvidia&#39;s shares into a new down-leg.</p><p><b>Final thoughts</b></p><p>Shares of Nvidia dropped 4.6% after the market closed, but I believe the sharpness of the expected revenue decline in FQ3 is not accurately reflected in this drop.

Since lofty revenue expectations have been used to justify Nvidia's generous valuation, a reset of expectations has the potential to drive a downward revaluation of Nvidia's shares.Nvidia's shares dropped 4.6% after regular trading yesterday and, I believe, the drop does not accurately reflect the seriousness of the sequential revenue downgrade. Nvidia currently has a P-S ratio of 12.2x, and if revenue estimates continue to fall, the valuation factor may even increase.NVDA Revenue Estimates for Current Fiscal Yeardata by YChartsOther risks/considerations with NvidiaI see two big risks for Nvidia at this point in time. The first one is that the slowdown in the GPU market may last for quite some time, meaning Nvidia may have to deal with slowing Gaming segment revenues for more than just one more quarter.

Secondly, revenue and earnings estimates, especially after the nightmarish guidance for FQ3'23, will reflect a reset of growth expectations which in itself could lead Nvidia's shares into a new down-leg.Final thoughtsShares of Nvidia dropped 4.6% after the market closed, but I believe the sharpness of the expected revenue decline in FQ3 is not accurately reflected in this drop. The guidance truly is a game-changer because Nvidia's period of hyper-growth is ending.Nvidia's outlook for FQ3'23 revenues was $1.0B below expectations and the company is going through a major post-pandemic reset in the GPU market… which could affect Nvidia's valuation much more severely going forward. As estimates correct to the downside, Nvidia's valuation is set to experience more pressure!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":103,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9994803722,"gmtCreate":1661586724768,"gmtModify":1676536546987,"author":{"id":"3585370461477110","authorId":"3585370461477110","name":"Jyozu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac83cb007e9144d9710ce08e1d562f3b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9994803722","repostId":"2262977847","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2262977847","pubTimestamp":1661561509,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2262977847?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-27 08:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Investors Should Ignore the Fed, Interest Rates, and Most News","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2262977847","media":"TheStreet","summary":"The stock market often makes big moves based on short-term news.

The three stocks I thought were going to lose to the market for the week -- <b>Tesla Motors</b>, <b>Bath &amp; Body Works</b>, and <b>AMTD Digital</b> -- fell 1%, 3%, and 11%, respectively, averaging out to a 5% decline.</p><p>The <b>S&amp;P 500</b> experienced a 1.2% move lower. I was right. I have now been correct in 29 of the past 44 weeks, or nearly two-thirds of the time.</p><p>Now let&#39;s look at the week ahead. I see <b>Baozun</b>, <b>La-Z-Boy</b>, and <b>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond</b> as stocks you may want to consider steering clear of this week. Let&#39;s go over my near-term concerns with all three investments.</p><h2><b>1. Baozun</b></h2><p>Providing e-commerce solutions in China for global brands isn&#39;t as juicy a business model for Baozun as it seemed a few years ago. China&#39;s been making enemies overseas, and the economy itself in the world&#39;s most populous nation is slowing. It reports fresh financials on Tuesday morning, and it&#39;s OK to be concerned.</p><p>Analysts see Baozun&#39;s revenue clocking in 19% lower for this week&#39;s second quarter than it did a year earlier. It sees a 71% plunge in earnings per share. Momentum hasn&#39;t been kind, as Baozun has fallen short of analyst expectations in two of the last three quarters. The stock did shoot higher last time out, but that was with just a 2% decline in revenue. The market was hopeful that Baozun&#39;s business shifting from first-party sales to higher-margin services and third-party sales would help improve its margins, but we&#39;re clearly seeing the bottom line going the wrong way.</p><h2><b>2. La-Z-Boy</b></h2><p>It&#39;s not just La-Z-Boy&#39;s signature chair that&#39;s reclining these days. The furniture maker is another company likely to see its business decline later this year. La-Z-Boy is expected to post its fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit percentage growth on the top line later this week, but analysts see the trend reversing as the fiscal year plays out.</p><p>We&#39;ve already seen manufacturers and retailers of home furnishings stumble this earnings season. Folks that loaded up on making their homes more comfortable in 2020 and 2021 have moved on in this inflationary environment. They were spending money on experiences outside of the home, and now they&#39;re just earmarking more money to pay for food. La-Z-Boy can&#39;t party like it&#39;s 2021 anymore.</p><h2><b>3. Bed Bath &amp; Beyond</b></h2><p>Shares of the home goods retailer plummeted 40% on Friday after a prolific meme stock investor cashed out of his position. With a major backer gone, Bed Bath &amp; Beyond is going to have to rest on its fundamentals -- and that&#39;s not very encouraging.</p><p>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond has rattled off four consecutive quarters of year-over-year revenue declines of at least 20%. This will be its fifth straight year of losses. This is not a sustainable business without the hype that Ryan Cohen brought to the table setting, and even after a 40% haircut, the shares are highly problematic at this point.</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 Baozun, La-Z-Boy, and Bed Bath &amp; Beyond 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\n2022-08-23 12:02 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/22/3-stocks-to-avoid-this-week/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Things turned out pretty well for my \"three stocks to avoid\" column last week.

BaozunProviding e-commerce solutions in China for global brands isn't as juicy a business model for Baozun as it seemed a few years ago. China's been making enemies overseas, and the economy itself in the world's most populous nation is slowing. It reports fresh financials on Tuesday morning, and it's OK to be concerned.Analysts see Baozun's revenue clocking in 19% lower for this week's second quarter than it did a year earlier. It sees a 71% plunge in earnings per share. Momentum hasn't been kind, as Baozun has fallen short of analyst expectations in two of the last three quarters. The stock did shoot higher last time out, but that was with just a 2% decline in revenue. The market was hopeful that Baozun's business shifting from first-party sales to higher-margin services and third-party sales would help improve its margins, but we're clearly seeing the bottom line going the wrong way.2. La-Z-BoyIt's not just La-Z-Boy's signature chair that's reclining these days. The furniture maker is another company likely to see its business decline later this year. La-Z-Boy is expected to post its fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit percentage growth on the top line later this week, but analysts see the trend reversing as the fiscal year plays out.We've already seen manufacturers and retailers of home furnishings stumble this earnings season. Folks that loaded up on making their homes more comfortable in 2020 and 2021 have moved on in this inflationary environment. They were spending money on experiences outside of the home, and now they're just earmarking more money to pay for food. La-Z-Boy can't party like it's 2021 anymore.3. Bed Bath & BeyondShares of the home goods retailer plummeted 40% on Friday after a prolific meme stock investor cashed out of his position. With a major backer gone, Bed Bath & Beyond is going to have to rest on its fundamentals -- and that's not very encouraging.Bed Bath & Beyond has rattled off four consecutive quarters of year-over-year revenue declines of at least 20%. This will be its fifth straight year of losses. This is not a sustainable business without the hype that Ryan Cohen brought to the table setting, and even after a 40% haircut, the shares are highly problematic at this point.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 Baozun, La-Z-Boy, and Bed Bath & Beyond this week.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":41,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9998712238,"gmtCreate":1661056364526,"gmtModify":1676536446731,"author":{"id":"3585370461477110","authorId":"3585370461477110","name":"Jyozu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac83cb007e9144d9710ce08e1d562f3b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9998712238","repostId":"2260785313","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2260785313","pubTimestamp":1661045446,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2260785313?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-21 09:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"No, There Is No New Short-Selling Champion in Tesla Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2260785313","media":"Barrons","summary":"There was a stir in the Tesla investing community when a regulator filing indicated that asset manag","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>There was a stir in the Tesla investing community when a regulator filing indicated that asset manager Deer Park Road made a seemingly huge bet against Tesla stock using put options.

Tesla stock dropped almost 38% from the end of March to the end of June while the Nasdaq Composite fell 22% over the same span.Burg doesn't consider himself a big Tesla bear. He's says he is bearish on the overall economy and the consumer. He expects Tesla stock to struggle, but just like any other consumer discretionary stock this coming year.The whole episode does illustrate an important lesson about options trading. There are many ways to use options in a portfolio.Investors can buy options contracts far from current prices. They are cheap and only pay off if extreme events happen. They can also be used to bet on volatility. Options get more valuable as stock volatility rises and less valuable when volatility falls. Options can be used to hedge a portfolio, too.What's more, bearish options bets can actually generate income for bullish investors. Take Tesla. It doesn't pay a dividend. If that irks some shareholders they can sell call options contracts. (Selling a call is similar to a put option. Both work out if the stock falls. It's a bearish bet.)A Tesla holder selling a $900 call option that expires in September gets about $44. That's almost 5% the value of the Tesla stock. The risk with selling call options against stock held is that the stock could go up. If Tesla hit $1,000, that holder would have essentially sold some of his position for $900, missing out on the additional gain.There are many other things pros do with options. People have careers trading options for brokerage firms and asset managers.However, options don't indicate with certainty how someone feels about the stock that underlies the options contract.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":23,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9998832800,"gmtCreate":1660963084707,"gmtModify":1676536431488,"author":{"id":"3585370461477110","authorId":"3585370461477110","name":"Jyozu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac83cb007e9144d9710ce08e1d562f3b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9998832800","repostId":"2260323630","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2260323630","pubTimestamp":1660952700,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2260323630?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-20 07:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Top Stocks to Buy During a Sell-Off","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2260323630","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Oracle, General Mills, and LVMH are all good defensive plays.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The <b>S&amp;P 500</b> has rallied about 10% over the past month as declining gas prices and signs of supply chain improvements have suggested that brighter days are ahead.

Oracle</h2><p>Oracle, the world&#39;s top database management software company, had once been considered an also-ran of the tech sector.

It also expanded that sticky ecosystem with enterprise resource planning (ERP) tools through several big acquisitions. Those efforts were costly, but they enabled Oracle to consistently grow its revenues again and avoid becoming the next <b>IBM</b>.</p><p>Oracle&#39;s revenue growth stalled out in fiscal 2019 and 2020 (which ended in May of the calendar year) as it implemented those turnaround strategies. But its revenue subsequently rose 4% in fiscal 2021 and 5% in fiscal 2022. It expects its cloud revenues to grow 30% organically in fiscal 2023, accelerating from its 22% growth in fiscal 2022, while analysts expect its total revenue (including its recent acquisition of Cerner) to rise 17%.</p><p>Oracle&#39;s earnings per share have also risen consistently, partly driven by buybacks, and analysts expect its earnings (including Cerner) to grow 67% this year. That&#39;s an impressive growth rate for a stock that trades at less than 20 times forward earnings. It&#39;s also reduced its share count by 45% over the past 10 years and pays a decent forward dividend yield of 1.6%.</p><h2>2. General Mills</h2><p>General Mills sells over 100 brands of packaged food products, including Cheerios, Yoplait, Häagen-Dazs, Betty Crocker, Green Giant, and Pillsbury. It also sells premium pet products through its Blue Buffalo subsidiary.</p><p>General Mills is a great stock to own during a downturn for three reasons. First, its business is resistant to inflation, recessions, and other macroeconomic headwinds because people (and their pets) need to eat. For fiscal 2023 (which started this May), General Mills expects its organic sales to increase 4% to 5% and for its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) to grow 0% to 3% in constant currency terms. That stable outlook suggests it can comfortably pass on some of its inflationary costs to consumers with price hikes while protecting its bottom-line growth with tighter cost-cutting measures.</p><p>Second, it&#39;s firmly profitable and pays out nearly half its earnings to fund its forward dividend yield of 2.8%. The company and its predecessor have also paid out uninterrupted dividends for more than a century. Lastly, General Mills&#39; stock is still cheap at 19 times forward earnings. That low valuation arguably makes it more attractive than comparable packaged foods stalwarts like <b>Coca-Cola</b> and <b>PepsiCo</b>, which currently trade at 26 and 27 times forward earnings, respectively.</p><h2>3. LVMH</h2><p>Lastly, high-end luxury stocks are good defensive plays during market downturns because affluent customers are more resistant to macro headwinds. My favorite play in that sector is LVMH, the world&#39;s largest luxury company. The French conglomerate owns 75 houses across five markets -- wines and spirits, fashion and leather goods, perfumes and cosmetics, watches and jewelry, and selective retailing -- and its top brands include Louis Vuitton, Dior, Fendi, Loewe, Bvlgari, Tiffany &amp; Co., Hennessy, and Sephora.</p><p>LVMH experienced a slowdown during the pandemic as it temporarily closed many of its stores.

And that blessing, that curse, is hoopla. Never a dull moment it seems. New products announced<i>way</i>before they can be manufactured at any kind of scale, new features announced before the underlying technology is viable, Twitter feuds, a feud<i>with</i>Twitter, it&#39;s exhausting.</p><p>Fortunately help is at hand. Want to get to grips with owning Tesla stock and working out whether that is a good idea for your capital or not? Just ignore all the hyperbole. Ignore all the Musk sideshows and ignore all the Musk fanbois and Musk haters. Because none of it matters. What matters is the same as matters for all stocks. In no particular order, one, the fundamental financial performance of the underlying company and, two, the emotive chart performance of the stock.</p><p>Let&#39;s first turn to Tesla&#39;s fundamental financial performance.</p><p><b>TSLA Financials - Key Metrics</b></p><p>Here are the numbers up to and including its Q2 report.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8250693e10d20012fb7ff39dfecb3ded\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"409\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>TSLA Financials (TSLA SEC Filings, YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis)</span></p><p>Growth slowed in Q2 due to some combination of China Covid lockdowns, component supply shortages, and no doubt a modest demand hiatus influenced by inflation and recession fears in the US. In Q3 we want to see the company evidence no worsening of growth, but for now, those are the numbers. So you have a business with $67bn of revenue growing that revenue base in the 60-70% pa. range, whilst achieving a low double-digit unlevered pretax free cashflow margin. That is a rare achievement indeed. That it is achieved by a company with a heavy manufacturing base is still more remarkable. The balance sheet is a fortress, with $14.5bn net cash keeping the wolf from the door.</p><p><b>Tesla Valuation</b></p><p>The market is asking you to pay 14x TTM revenue, 59x TTM EBITDA or 123x TTM unlevered pretax FCF for Tesla. It&#39;s hard to argue that on pure financial fundamentals that&#39;s a bargain. It&#39;s not. If it&#39;s free cashflow yield you are looking for, look elsewhere. But if it&#39;s a valuation that is threshold acceptable as support for the technical opportunity the chart affords you? Different story.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/30d528946a8f1b720fabad7236a73837\" tg-width=\"247\" tg-height=\"333\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>TSLA Valuation (YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis)</span></p><p><b>Tesla Stock Chart</b></p><p>This is where things get really interesting from our perspective. Specifically<i>because</i>the company inspires such visceral reactions is what makes it an attractive stock. Whether you like to play it long or short, what you can count on with TSLA is volatility. Speaking for ourselves - both our professional ratings and our staff personal account holdings - we prefer to play TSLA long though we have dabbled with the occasional short position. Yes, it&#39;s true. You can in fact be emotion-neutral with TSLA if you don a lead helmet, ignore all opinions, switch off Twitter, and just deal with the facts and the chart in front of you.</p><p>Let&#39;s take a look at the chart in the larger degree.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dee51e98999fe94fafb5c07e41c0b44f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"294\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>TSLA Chart (TrendSpider, Cestrian Analysis)</span></p><p>Here&#39;s how we see the TSLA chart and its prospects.</p><p>From the 2019 lows, the stock puts in a 5-wave up sequence that peaks with the other growth names, and indeed the market at large, in late 2021. This 5-wave sequence tracked rather well to key Fibonacci levels. Let&#39;s zoom in for a moment just to show that. (Full page version of this chart).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9157ed0a3de97357cd57a68b5845c6be\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"280\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>TSLA Chart II (TrendSpider)</span></p><p>The Wave 1 up retreats into a Wave 2 down troughing at the 0.786 retrace; textbook Wave 2. Then the Wave 3 - whilst a<i>huge</i>version thereof - peaks at precisely the 5.618 extension of the Wave 1. And so on. Now, the reason to show this is because it is evidence of the highly emotive nature of TSLA stock. Stocks don&#39;t move up to 5.618 extensions because the underlying company is growing quickly. They move up that far because they inspire all kinds of emotions to run high. And if a stock has generated that much investor emotion in the recent past, there&#39;s a good chance it does so in the near future, in our view. Which means we think that TSLA can trade well to Fibonacci levels going forward too.</p><p><b>Pros Of Buying Tesla Stock</b></p><p>The pros of buying Tesla stock are in our view:</p><p>1 - the stock trades unrestrained by fundamentals, unconstrained by the news, and instead moves purely with sentiment. This means that the level-headed investor or trader can take advantage of the crowd - and also,</p><p>2 - whilst it is true that other EVs are also available, Tesla&#39;s brand advantage and penchant for viral marketing means that the underlying fundamentals of the company do remain strong. That may change in the future; it may be that in the end Ford or GM swallow the beast as they did niche manufacturers a century back; but for now, Tesla remains the one to beat in EVs, and EVs remain the segment with the most consumer pull and government push.</p><p>Let&#39;s take a look at the pro case. Back to the charts in order to do so.</p><p>That 5-wave up sequence forms a larger-degree Wave One in our first chart above. Wave One starts in 2019 at around $45 (adjusted for the stock splits that have taken place since that time) and peaks late in 2021 at around $1,240. The larger-degree Wave Two that follows has bottomed out at a relatively shallow 0.5 retracement of that Wave One up. At first blush one could be forgiven for expecting a further drop - after all stock after stock has already put in 0.618 or 0.786 retracements of similar moves up. But that&#39;s rather the point. To our eye it looks like the 2022 bottom may well be in, because so many big-name stocks have bottomed out at those deep retracement levels. And we take that as evidence that maybe, <i>maybe</i>- TSLA has bottomed too.</p><p>If that&#39;s the case, and we&#39;re now in a larger-degree Wave Three up, then as a function of that nuts Wave One, technically - which is to say<i>emotionally -</i>we may reasonably expect the stock to run up from here to at least the top of the Wave 1 high, and more likely to the 100% extension of that Wave One. That means a bull target of $1,245 (minimum, if we&#39;re right) and a crazy ol&#39; bullrider target of $1,805 (that&#39;s the 100% extension). We don&#39;t need to talk about the fact that most likely a Wave Three terminates at the 1.618 extension of Wave One, because that would suggest a meth-addled crack-snorting bull target of $2,534, and, honestly? We don&#39;t have the time to handle all the comments if we slapped a $2,534 stock price target on the name. But, between us? The stock is perfectly capable of achieving that target, and the only reason to disbelieve the potential is if you have yet to free your mind, and you still think that stock prices are driven primarily by fundamentals or by the news. (If you want to apply some reverse neurolinguistic programming to that mental block, take a look at a post of ours from March this year.)</p><p><b>Cons Of Buying Tesla Stock</b></p><p>Well, this one is easy. Here&#39;s a bunch of reasons to not buy Tesla stock.</p><p>1 - The valuation. 122x unlevered pretax free cashflow. Give your grandparents a quick call and ask them whether they think you should buy a stock valued at 122x cashflow. (It will be a quick call).</p><p>2 - The hoopla. If you can&#39;t ignore the hoopla, if you are compelled to watch the Elon Musk show play out live on every media forum near you, well, that&#39;s exhausting, because if you&#39;re watching it then you can&#39;t help but wonder whether the latest move will undermine your investment in Tesla stock or not.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/27c40bee112220ca265e7260ecc25af6\" tg-width=\"543\" tg-height=\"199\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>The Latest (Twitter)</span></p><p>Is that good for TSLA stock?

We aim to slowly accumulate a position in a stock when it is beaten down, stop buying once a certain price is reached, sit back in anticipation of the markup cycle then lifting the stock, and then distributing once a high is reached. We can&#39;t claim to do this perfectly of course, but it has worked pretty well for us through the recent Covid lows, 2020-2021 markup period and then into the 2021 highs. We sold a bunch of high beta names as their 5-wave cycles topped late last year, both in our <i>Growth Investor Pro</i>service and in staff personal accounts. Right now we have been through a period of &#39;accumulate&#39; ratings in many high beta names and we seem to be moving into a markup period. Tesla has yet to move up and out of our accumulation price zone. If you go back to that first chart above, we think a viable way to invest in Tesla without taking on undue risk is:</p><p>Accumulate - meaning build up slowly over time - a position in that green &#39;Accumulation Zone&#39; box - let&#39;s call it between $624-$902 (yes those numbers are odd boundaries to pick - they represent the Fibonacci levels that define the zone for us). If the stock does move up then you can either just wait for a Wave Three to play out and sell as it nears those targets, and/or set a trailing stop on the way up. If the stock flames out, we believe that stops set in the region below say $610 (that&#39;s a little below the recent lows) are protective without being likely to get executed on a whim. The stock remains inside our Accumulation zone so we rate the stock at, er, Accumulate.</p><p>We have invested in the stock in staff personal accounts; we rate the stock at Accumulate on a professional basis; and we think the risk-reward balance is good if you take an approach similar to the above. So for us? Yes, Tesla is worth investing in. But then we don&#39;t watch the hoopla and we wear lead helmets to work every day.

And that blessing, that curse, is hoopla. Never a dull moment it seems. New products announcedwaybefore they can be manufactured at any kind of scale, new features announced before the underlying technology is viable, Twitter feuds, a feudwithTwitter, it's exhausting.Fortunately help is at hand. Want to get to grips with owning Tesla stock and working out whether that is a good idea for your capital or not? Just ignore all the hyperbole. Ignore all the Musk sideshows and ignore all the Musk fanbois and Musk haters. Because none of it matters. What matters is the same as matters for all stocks. In no particular order, one, the fundamental financial performance of the underlying company and, two, the emotive chart performance of the stock.Let's first turn to Tesla's fundamental financial performance.TSLA Financials - Key MetricsHere are the numbers up to and including its Q2 report.TSLA Financials (TSLA SEC Filings, YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis)Growth slowed in Q2 due to some combination of China Covid lockdowns, component supply shortages, and no doubt a modest demand hiatus influenced by inflation and recession fears in the US. In Q3 we want to see the company evidence no worsening of growth, but for now, those are the numbers. So you have a business with $67bn of revenue growing that revenue base in the 60-70% pa. range, whilst achieving a low double-digit unlevered pretax free cashflow margin. That is a rare achievement indeed. That it is achieved by a company with a heavy manufacturing base is still more remarkable. The balance sheet is a fortress, with $14.5bn net cash keeping the wolf from the door.Tesla ValuationThe market is asking you to pay 14x TTM revenue, 59x TTM EBITDA or 123x TTM unlevered pretax FCF for Tesla. It's hard to argue that on pure financial fundamentals that's a bargain. It's not. If it's free cashflow yield you are looking for, look elsewhere. But if it's a valuation that is threshold acceptable as support for the technical opportunity the chart affords you? Different story.TSLA Valuation (YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis)Tesla Stock ChartThis is where things get really interesting from our perspective. Specificallybecausethe company inspires such visceral reactions is what makes it an attractive stock. Whether you like to play it long or short, what you can count on with TSLA is volatility. Speaking for ourselves - both our professional ratings and our staff personal account holdings - we prefer to play TSLA long though we have dabbled with the occasional short position. Yes, it's true. You can in fact be emotion-neutral with TSLA if you don a lead helmet, ignore all opinions, switch off Twitter, and just deal with the facts and the chart in front of you.Let's take a look at the chart in the larger degree.TSLA Chart (TrendSpider, Cestrian Analysis)Here's how we see the TSLA chart and its prospects.From the 2019 lows, the stock puts in a 5-wave up sequence that peaks with the other growth names, and indeed the market at large, in late 2021. This 5-wave sequence tracked rather well to key Fibonacci levels. Let's zoom in for a moment just to show that. (Full page version of this chart).TSLA Chart II (TrendSpider)The Wave 1 up retreats into a Wave 2 down troughing at the 0.786 retrace; textbook Wave 2. Then the Wave 3 - whilst ahugeversion thereof - peaks at precisely the 5.618 extension of the Wave 1. And so on. Now, the reason to show this is because it is evidence of the highly emotive nature of TSLA stock. Stocks don't move up to 5.618 extensions because the underlying company is growing quickly. They move up that far because they inspire all kinds of emotions to run high. And if a stock has generated that much investor emotion in the recent past, there's a good chance it does so in the near future, in our view. Which means we think that TSLA can trade well to Fibonacci levels going forward too.Pros Of Buying Tesla StockThe pros of buying Tesla stock are in our view:1 - the stock trades unrestrained by fundamentals, unconstrained by the news, and instead moves purely with sentiment. This means that the level-headed investor or trader can take advantage of the crowd - and also,2 - whilst it is true that other EVs are also available, Tesla's brand advantage and penchant for viral marketing means that the underlying fundamentals of the company do remain strong. That may change in the future; it may be that in the end Ford or GM swallow the beast as they did niche manufacturers a century back; but for now, Tesla remains the one to beat in EVs, and EVs remain the segment with the most consumer pull and government push.Let's take a look at the pro case. Back to the charts in order to do so.That 5-wave up sequence forms a larger-degree Wave One in our first chart above. Wave One starts in 2019 at around $45 (adjusted for the stock splits that have taken place since that time) and peaks late in 2021 at around $1,240. The larger-degree Wave Two that follows has bottomed out at a relatively shallow 0.5 retracement of that Wave One up. At first blush one could be forgiven for expecting a further drop - after all stock after stock has already put in 0.618 or 0.786 retracements of similar moves up. But that's rather the point. To our eye it looks like the 2022 bottom may well be in, because so many big-name stocks have bottomed out at those deep retracement levels. And we take that as evidence that maybe, maybe- TSLA has bottomed too.If that's the case, and we're now in a larger-degree Wave Three up, then as a function of that nuts Wave One, technically - which is to sayemotionally -we may reasonably expect the stock to run up from here to at least the top of the Wave 1 high, and more likely to the 100% extension of that Wave One. That means a bull target of $1,245 (minimum, if we're right) and a crazy ol' bullrider target of $1,805 (that's the 100% extension). We don't need to talk about the fact that most likely a Wave Three terminates at the 1.618 extension of Wave One, because that would suggest a meth-addled crack-snorting bull target of $2,534, and, honestly? We don't have the time to handle all the comments if we slapped a $2,534 stock price target on the name. But, between us? The stock is perfectly capable of achieving that target, and the only reason to disbelieve the potential is if you have yet to free your mind, and you still think that stock prices are driven primarily by fundamentals or by the news. (If you want to apply some reverse neurolinguistic programming to that mental block, take a look at a post of ours from March this year.)Cons Of Buying Tesla StockWell, this one is easy. Here's a bunch of reasons to not buy Tesla stock.1 - The valuation. 122x unlevered pretax free cashflow. Give your grandparents a quick call and ask them whether they think you should buy a stock valued at 122x cashflow. (It will be a quick call).2 - The hoopla. If you can't ignore the hoopla, if you are compelled to watch the Elon Musk show play out live on every media forum near you, well, that's exhausting, because if you're watching it then you can't help but wonder whether the latest move will undermine your investment in Tesla stock or not.The Latest (Twitter)Is that good for TSLA stock? Bad for TSLA stock? Will it make no difference? You already spent too much time thinking about it. You see the problem with hoopla.3 - The competition. It's not like Ford and VW and everyone gave up. They are behind, but spending like crazy and nobody likes a show-off, so, assume they have Tesla well in their sights.4 - The share sales by Elon Musk. Whatever the logic, they don't build investor confidence.The bear opinion on Tesla is mainly emotional and we think that is all best ignored. If you want to read a well-reasoned bear take on the name, read this Seeking Alpha article. The author vomited all over our last bull piece on Tesla and then wrote this, which is good work. We don't agree with the conclusions - but it's good work. Take a look.Is Tesla Stock Worth Investing In?In our long-run investment work we adopt the Wyckoff Cycle model.

But on a Friday night in June, Bruce and Deborah Cooke spotted one of their favorite movie heroes, just feet away. They moved in and asked for a photo.</p><p>Adam Aron, the chairman and chief executive officer ofAMC Entertainment Holdings Inc., greeted the couple warmly, making small talk as they arranged themselves for the camera. Bruce was dressed in slacks and a button-down. Deborah wore a striking green dress. “I put my arm around you, I go to jail,” Aron, who’s 67, playfully said to Deborah, who’s 55. Everyone laughed.</p><p>Three days earlier, Aron had announced on Twitter that he would personally be hosting a screening of Pixar’s new movie,<i>Lightyear</i>, at an AMC theater in Olathe, Kan. The Cookes, who together own a small mortgage company in Sacramento, had vowed on the spot to make the pilgrimage to Kansas.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/26d2f8d2a68830ff364ec91c9beb7be7\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"800\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>The entire AMC saga meant so much to them. During the onset of the pandemic, when movie theaters were hastily shuttered, they bought their first batch of AMC stock. Moviegoing, they believed, would eventually bounce back. Plus, they thought it was cruel that a subset of investors were trying to force the company into bankruptcy. So the Cookes joined a legion of outsider traders, loosely organized on the Reddit forumr/wallstreetbets, who were swarming to AMC’s down-and-out stock, driving up its share price and sticking it to the skeptical short sellers and hedge funds betting big on the company’s failure. The Cookes recruited their loved ones to join them. “We got a lot of friends involved,” Deborah says.</p><p>On social media, people started calling their pugnacious tribe theAMC Apes, as in<i>Planet of the Apes</i>, the movie about a primate uprising. By Wall Street standards, they might be primitive, but they possessed power in numbers.</p><p>Better yet, they had a fearless leader atop AMC, an alpha CEO who grunted and roared on Twitter, throwing feces, so to speak, at their enemies (recurring hashtag: #LetThemEatCrow) and beating his chest every time a movie performed well at the box office (#CHOKEonTHAT). Aron hired Nicole Kidman tostar in several AMC promotionsand bellowed tirelessly about her bravura performance, dubbing the glamorous actor “the first lady of AMC.” The whole thing had a King-Kong-palming-a-fair-maiden vibe. The Apes were ecstatic.</p><p>Now, after a flight to Dallas, a four-hour drive to Tulsa, a break for the night, several more hours on the road, and another respite at a crummy hotel, the Cookes were right where they wanted to be, standing loyally at the Silverback’s side. After capturing their trophy shot, the California couple took their seats. With a few minutes left before the start of the previews, the place was far from full—a slightly ominous development, which the Cookes would later chalk up to “the bad guys,” aka the hedge funds, who they suspected had snapped up tickets and let them go unused to make AMC look bad. Anything to drive down the company’s share price. “There’s no telling what [they] will do,” Deborah says.</p><p>“He creates a sound, a song, a whistle from his pipe that will cause people to gravitate preferentially to whatever business in the sector that he is running”</p><p>At the front of the theater, Aron got up, gave a shoutout to the Apes, and acknowledged that the pandemic had been difficult. But the vaccines were working. Movies were storming back. “Our investors are passionate,” he said. “They like AMC as a company. They don’t think I’m that bad either. But most of all, they really want to see movie theaters survive.”</p><p>At first glance, Aron, who became CEO of AMC in 2016, might not seem like a natural candidate to lead a successful investor insurgency. For much of his career he worked as a well-compensated turnaround artist, the kind of mercenary operator with the right pedigree (Harvard Business School) and right demeanor (bombastically self-assured) who gets hired to fix up a faltering company and maybe sell it off at a nice markup. If anything, Aron seemed like a well-sharpened tool of the Wall Street establishment, not of the internet masses.</p><p>But the pandemic shook up the entertainment cosmos and exposed a surprising lack of leadership in Hollywood. Amid all the halted productions and scrambled release schedules, everyone looked around for somebody to rally the American people behind the movie industry. When no compelling candidates emerged from the studios or the streaming services, Aron charged headlong into the void.</p><p>He’s spent his entire career perfecting the art of stunt marketing and the science of customer loyalty programs. Ideal training, in other words, for this weird new zeitgeist in the business world, one that favors combative, incautious, performative CEOs (see:Musk, Elon) who can draw loyal swarms of fans online and compel them to buy their products, pump up their stock price, and troll their critics. “He has an almost Pied Piper-ish ability to attract people,” says Darryl Hartley-Leonard, former CEO of Hyatt Hotels Corp., who hired Aron at Hyatt in the 1980s. “He creates a sound, a song, a whistle from his pipe that will cause people to gravitate preferentially to whatever business in the sector that he is running.”</p><p>With AMC, that whistle has taken the form of meme-y membership schemes, free-for-all earnings calls, acomical stock ticker (APE), and the bizarre acquisition of a72,000-acre gold mine. Having narrowly navigated the company through the dark days of the early pandemic and taken his followers with him on a Hollywood blockbuster-worthy ride, Aron is now facing a much more fundamental challenge: holding the entire rickety, debt-laden enterprise together during a time of rising inflation, falling stocks, accelerating economic pressure, and a troop of Apes that might finally be questioning its alpha.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/20522e4c8b6fbdb61e5f3ebad3fe7c6b\" tg-width=\"650\" tg-height=\"348\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Mission control for Aron isn’t Los Angeles or New York or even Las Vegas.AMC’s headquartersis in Kansas. The offices are housed in a sleek, glass-clad structure in Leawood, a prosperous suburb of Kansas City. The heart of the building is an open, spacious “test seating area” that doubles as a gathering spot. Throughout the workday, staffers can grab a snack and watch whatever is playing on its jumbo screen, from the latest Hollywood trailers to an afternoon Royals game.</p><p>Beginning in 2016, employees would occasionally glance up and see cable news channels airing live interviews with their new CEO, who’d arrived right after fixing up and selling off Starwood Hotels &amp; Resorts Worldwide.</p><p>Aron typically shows up at a company looking as thoroughly distressed as the properties he’s swooping in to save. The strands of his comb-over meander across his head, sometimes losing a few stragglers en route. His wardrobe, friends and former colleagues note, is remarkably beaten up for a multimillionaire executive. Even on a sunny day, he can look like a man who just parachuted in through a tempest: suit wrinkled, tie stained, shirttail flapping in the wind.</p><p>When Aron took over AMC, the entire theater business was facing mounting pressure. Shopping malls, which had long enjoyed a rich, symbiotic relationship with AMC multiplexes, were losing customers to online retail, jeopardizing foot traffic to ticket booths. Meanwhile, American viewers were growing increasingly enchanted with streaming networks such as Netflix.</p><p>Not long after joining the company, Aron met with Wang Jianlin, head of the Dalian Wanda Group, a Chinese conglomerate, then the majority owner of AMC. He proceeded to show Wang a list he’d drawn up of 10 things to better position AMC for the future. One idea was to revamp its customer loyalty program, AMC Stubs. Another was to expand the company through acquisitions. Wang particularly liked the notion of supersizing AMC.</p><p>Aron soon embarked on a $3 billion buying spree, snapping up three major theater chains in the US and Europe. By the spring of 2017 he’d made AMC into a colossus, with more than 10,000 screens in 15 countries. Aron—who has a professional wrestling promoter’s penchant for speaking in grandiose, history-in-the-making superlatives—could now brag about AMC on a planetary scale. “The largest in the US, the largest in Europe, and the largest globally,” he says.</p><p>He threw himself into every aspect of the operations, spiffing up the company’s pre-movie promos; stiff-arming a startup,MoviePass Inc., that was elbowing into the loyalty rewards market for moviegoers; and flavor-jamming AMC’s food menu with the kind of flamboyance thatGuy Fierimight relish. Before long, Aron was touting AMC’s giant new pretzel, a salty 1.5-pound behemoth dubbed the Bavarian Legend.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b60a0ecf9ad876f2376ae392e6e04605\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"899\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Aron at AMC’s headquarters in Leawood, Kan.Photographer: Shawn Brackbill for Bloomberg Businessweek</p><p>Although he was a relative newbie to the film industry, Aron had popcorn in his blood. In the 1930s his grandfather, a convivial, politically connected businessman, co-founded a successful company called Berlo Vending. Among other things, Berlo sold all the popcorn in all the movie theaters of eastern Pennsylvania. “By the time I came around, whatever family fortune there was had pretty much been squandered,” says Aron, who grew up in a middle-class Philadelphia suburb.</p><p>Like his father, an ad man who regularly acted in an amateur theater troupe, Aron gravitated to the spotlight. By high school he was a math whiz, hockey goalie, and hammy stage performer. His comedic speeches playing up the life-altering sacrifices he’d made on behalf of his classmates won him the office of class treasurer twice. Once, as president of his high school’s Key Club, he organized a fundraiser basketball game that went on for 100 straight hours—which, according to Aron, set a Guinness World Record. When he discovered a catalog that sold slightly aged Hollywood film reels by mail, he rallied friends to construct a plywood screen in their school’s auditorium, where they charged for showings of<i>Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid</i>,<i>Cool Hand Luke</i>, and, of course,<i>Planet of the Apes</i>. The money poured into the coffers of the senior class. “What he was like then is what he is like now,” says Aron’s high school buddy Ashton Carter, who decades later would serve as secretary of defense under Barack Obama. “He could always convince a diverse group of people to get behind his vision.”</p><p>After graduating from Harvard in three years, Aron stayed to get his MBA. He studied marketing, was elected co-president of the school’s transportation club, and was captain of the hockey team. While many of his peers beelined for the riches of Wall Street, he took a job with the airline Pan Am, which by 1979 was well past its glory years. A top executive, Stephen Wolf, was looking for someone who could create more loyalty among the airline’s dwindling customers. “The problem is that anybody who was semi-young and had half a brain had sensibly and correctly left Pan Am long ago,” recalls Wolf, who went on to become CEO of United Airlines. “I found Adam in the bowels of the organization somewhere.”</p><p>Aron concocted Pan Am’s first frequent-flyers club and suddenly found himself on the fast track. He’d go on to create or reengineer loyalty programs for Western Airlines (TravelPass); Hyatt Hotels (Gold Passport); United Airlines (MileagePlus); Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL Latitudes); Vail Resorts (Peaks); the Philadelphia 76ers (the Franklin Club)—and, eventually, AMC (Stubs). “Adam is a pioneer of loyalty management,” says high school pal Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, now a professor at the Yale School of Management.</p><p>In the late ’80s, Hyatt Hotels CEO Hartley-Leonard hired Aron to serve as a top marketing executive. “When he came in, he really was the most disheveled human being that you’d ever seen,” Hartley-Leonard says. “The problem with Adam is that his body is deformed such that his shirt doesn’t stay in his trousers.” Aron proved to be an unusually crafty marketer who generated ideas nonstop for winning over customers from rivals and for garnering free publicity, says his former boss. He also periodically mesmerized his colleagues with stunts, like the time he floated into an executive meeting on a custom-made dirigible. “Jay Pritzker [whose family owned Hyatt] turned to me and said, ‘What the f--- did this cost?’ ” Hartley-Leonard recalls. “I said, ‘Leave Adam alone. That’s who he is.’ ”</p><p>In 1996, Apollo Global Management Inc. was in the market for someone to turn around Vail Resorts, the ski resort operator. By the time Aron left that job 10 years later, he’d diversified the company’s business model and more than quintupled revenue. “Vail was transformative,” says Marc Rowan, Apollo’s billionaire CEO. “He did an unbelievable job.”</p><p>So much so that when Rowan’s partner, billionaire Apollo co-founder Joshua Harris, led a group of investors to acquire middling NBA team the 76ers in 2011, they installed Aron, a minority owner, to usher in a franchise turnaround. Of course, his first order of business was a barrage of promotional schemes. He made the team’s dance squad larger. He added Julius Erving as a consultant. He showered fans in confetti. And even though he’d step aside as CEO only two years later following another lousy season, he still left an Aron-shaped imprint on the franchise:“Big Bella,”the world’s largest T-shirt launcher, a cartoonishly massive, 600 pound, multibarrel leviathan that looks like something Mad Max might have mounted on a battle tank.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/788e4b080973d8a9e6c27d08e72d96b3\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"534\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>The 2011 press conference to announce Apollo Global Management’s acquisition of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers. For two years, Aron was the team’s CEO.Photo: Getty Images</p><p>As the world locked down in 2020, Aron’s acquisition binge looked disastrous. AMC, saddled with $5 billion in debt, was forced to hastily shut down 1,000 theaters worldwide. He furloughed most of roughly 26,000 workers. “You know what they don’t teach in Harvard Business School?” he says. “The zero-revenue case.”</p><p>AMC warned in a filing that it was weeks away from running out of cash. Bankruptcy seemed imminent. But Aron harbored a deep, abiding dislike for what he calls “Bankruptcy Inc.” In his 30s he’d spent months fighting off the vulturous bankruptcy professionals hungrily circling Norwegian Cruise Line. At one point, he recalls indignantly, the CEO of rival Carnival Corp. predicted publicly that Norwegian would file for bankruptcy within months—but it never happened. “I’m very pleased to have proven him wrong,” Aron says.</p><p>Seven months into the pandemic, there were whispers on Wall Street and in the press that AMC could be filing for Chapter 11 any day. Aron scrambled to buy more time, renegotiating AMC’s rent payments with its landlords and looking for some way to ride out the pandemic disruptions.</p><p>Eventually he found a lifeline in Jason Mudrick, a lantern-jawed, poker-playing graduate of Harvard Law School, who runs Mudrick Capital Management LP, a $3.4 billion hedge fund specializing in distressed businesses. Unlike financial advisers and lawyers who make money on fees when a bankruptcy is filed, Mudrick’s firm loans money to companies facing near-death circumstances. If the company recovers, the capital is repaid handsomely. If not, the fund can seize collateral or control. In December 2020, Mudrick loaned AMC $100 million, receiving an equity stake in return. Other lenders followed.</p><p>News of the loans reached retail investors just as a strange new energy began coursing through Wall Street. Thanks to some combustible mix of pandemic-induced boredom, intemperance, and ingenuity, the meme-stock phenomenon was taking off. Day traders on Reddit were identifying downtrodden, heavily shorted stocks, then piling in collectively, pushing up the share price, and hyping the frenzy on social media to rope in more buyers. It had already happened with GameStop Corp.</p><p>Then it was AMC’s turn. From January to early June it soared from $2 to more than $62. Along the way, Aron seized on the freakish moment by issuing new equity at the heightened prices, replenishing AMC’s coffers.</p><p>By June 2021, 4 million retail investors had bought up more than 80% of the company’s shares. Aron knew from his years optimizing stunts and membership schemes that first you capture their attention, then you get them hooked. “It was just as true with our shareholders in the year 2021 as it was with airline passengers in 1981,” he says. So he designed a program that bridged the meme world with the real one: Buying AMC’s stock would get you movie-related perks.</p><p>With AMC Investor Connect, after purchasing the company’s shares and signing up for its existing Stubs rewards program, you’d be given access to discounts at theaters, invitations to movie screenings with Aron, and a free tub of popcorn. The new program may have seemed gauche to the traditional Wall Street crowd, but it gave an air of exclusivity to everyman investors, even if the benefits were fairly silly. By 2022 the program would swell to more than 700,000 members.</p><p>Aron with Kidman, whom he describes as “the first lady of AMC.”Source: Adam Aron</p><p>Meanwhile, Aron began doubling down on his new AMC persona. Dating back to his time with the 76ers, he’d been an active social media user, albeit with fewer followers and more mishaps. At an investor roundtable last year, he was briefly caught on Zoom untrousered, according to a participant. In June 2021 he was doing a remoteinterview with a YouTube market influencerwhen he accidentally bumped his webcam, which swiveled downward to reveal that, once again, he wasn’t wearing pants. Some AMC fans speculated that the YouTube incident was another one of Aron’s public-relations stunts. When asked about it, Aron declined to comment. “I would be the first to admit that I can be iconoclastic,” he says.</p><p>As his audience grew, he’d spend an hour a day on Twitter, reading feedback from the Apes and crafting truculent messages. He’d quote Winston Churchill on an earnings call—“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds”—or retweet a depiction of himself wearing a chef’s hat, holding a cleaver, and standing over a dead crow. By lacing his act with combative emotion, Aron infused AMC fandom with the kind of fervent personal identification once reserved for political parties and sports teams. Any analyst who’d dare question AMC’s prospects could expect to receive a torrent of online vitriol, even death threats, from hismore than 268,000 Twitter followers.</p><p>While the Apes ate up his bellicose energy, continuing to buy up shares and vowing to hold them long-term, Aron and AMC’s other major investors began looking to cash out. With the stock riding high, everyone from the Dalian Wanda Group to Mudrick Capital to other top AMC executives were either selling off the bulk of their shares or eyeing the exits.</p><p>Aron wasn’t going to let the opportunity pass. He enjoyed the perks of swank living as much as the next scorekeeping CEO, buying and selling over the years a portfolio of luxury properties from Beaver Creek, Colo., to Miami Beach. On Nov. 10, 2021, he revealed that for “estate planning” purposes he was unloading 625,000 AMC shares worth $25 million. The following month, he sold an additional chunk for $9.65 million. The family popcorn fortune, once squandered, was now restored. “Many of his friends went off into consulting and investment banking,” says high school friend Sonnenfeld. “Those people made more money initially. But he’s closed the gap a lot.”</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/82b063380f89c7eca208a72fd34d0a9d\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"800\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Aron with Mudrick at the Hycroft gold and silver mine in Nevada.</p><p>Around midnight on Sunday, March 13, after landing at a tiny two-runway airport in rural Nevada, Aron headed to a nearby Best Western to catch a few hours of sleep. Several days earlier he’d gotten a call from Mudrick, who pitched him on an opportunity for AMC that had nothing to do with the movie business. Mudrick’s hedge fund owned a stake inHycroft Mining Holding Corp., a struggling operation in northwestern Nevada. To remain solvent, the company needed a quick cash infusion to appease its lenders. He wanted to know if AMC wanted in on a literal gold mine.</p><p>Although Aron was familiar with a long list of industries, mining wasn’t one of them. But he was an expert at financial engineering, not to mention the strange metallurgy of transforming a business crisis into a windfall—and a spectacle. In recent months he’d been toying with diversifying AMC beyond theaters. There were plans to sell movie-themed merchandise, AMC-branded nonfungible tokens (NFTs), and, maybe someday, a branded credit card and cryptocurrency. Already in the works was AMC Perfectly Popcorn, which will be sold in supermarkets across the US next year. “Watch out, Orville Redenbacher,” he said on an earnings call on March 1.</p><p>Aron told Mudrick he was interested. The hedge fund executive explained that they’d have to move fast: They had five days before the cost of the deal would significantly increase. Hycroft’s share price was rising, and Nasdaq rules required Aron to buy his stake at a share price that averaged the previous five days’ trading levels.</p><p>So Mudrick corralled a jet in Teterboro, N.J., flew to Miami, picked up AMC Lead Director Philip Lader, then fetched Aron and AMC’s general counsel, Kevin Connor, who were on a work trip in Dallas. While in the air to Nevada, Mudrick and Aron batted around the numbers and dug into dinner. Mudrick ate a steak. Aron put away a seafood medley.</p><p>Now, at 6 a.m., they arose in the dark at the hotel and set off for the mine. They drove past Winnemucca, a long-in-the-tooth railroad town where Butch Cassidy had once robbed a bank and the cellphone service was abysmal. The sun rose over the Black Rock Desert, a Martian landscape of dry playas and craggy, arid mountains. After two hours they arrived at theHycroft Mine, a dusty archipelagoof geological debris, jumbo trucks, and gaping holes in the ground—a toddler’s idea of heaven. They squeezed into a temporary office, the only place in the vicinity with Wi-Fi. For the next several hours, Aron and Mudrick took turns persuading lenders and board members to approve the sale. They inked the deal with a few minutes to spare.</p><p>On March 15, when Aron announced that AMC was acquiring 22% of the largely dormant mine for $28 million, he got roughly the same reaction he’d triggered years earlier with his dirigible. Jaws dropped. Minds reeled. Somehow a recently distressed movie theater chain, saved by a hedge fund specializing in distressed lending, pumped up by retail investors profiting on distressed stocks, was now part owner of a distressed gold and silver mine, in a water-distressed pocket of the country, on a pandemic-distressed planet. The whole thing felt like a national parable. In America in 2022, distress was the new gold—or maybe fool’s gold. It was hard to say for certain.</p><p>Much of the press and most analysts derided the move as just another gimmick, while others opined that the money should’ve been used to pay down the company’s exorbitant debt. But on Twitter, Aron was busy retweeting memes of himself draped in gold chains. His rationale for the investment, he said: Only two years earlier, AMC was in free fall; now it could deploy everything it learned to another underdog business.</p><p>The loyal Apes followed him into the mineshaft, sending the penny stock sailing and netting AMC a $30 million profit. With the share price soaring, Hycroft took a page from the AMC playbook and offered more equity. Mudrick had initially hoped to raise $20 million. Thanks to the AMC bump, they wound up raising $200 million. Says Mudrick of Aron: “He could convince an Eskimo to buy ice.”</p><p>So what exactly is AMC at this point? A legacy theater chain with a penchant for shiny objects? A precious-metals multiplex exhibitor venture fund?</p><p>Last year, in a magnanimous gesture to the Apes, Aron tweaked the format of AMC’s quarterly earnings calls, allowing consumers to pose questions directly to the company’s brass. The inquiries of amateurs, he says, are often better than the ones from the professionals. “Not to be disrespectful to security analysts, but they often use earnings calls to build their financial models,” he says, segueing into an imitation of a squeaky-voiced analyst posing a tediously small-bore question.</p><p>The stroke of populism has annoyed some of the pros. “These are the most painful calls for me to listen to of any in my career,” says Hunter Martin, an analyst at Creditsights Inc., a research shop. “The rhetoric is … very us vs. them, retail investor and common man. That’s their narrative. To their credit, they’re talking about the things that are important to those people. But it comes at a cost to more traditional investors who want to hear the numbers.”</p><p><b>The Face That Launched a Thousand Memes</b></p><p>Aron’s fans will send him homemade memes of the CEO’s face hacked onto a movie poster, which he praises and tweets to his 268,000 Twitter followers</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/32e77d080b7c7f197793148442df6b6d\" tg-width=\"400\" tg-height=\"522\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: Twitter<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beabe7f722197aa352c08fde8d207cf2\" tg-width=\"400\" tg-height=\"602\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: TwitterSource: Twitter</p><p>There may be good reason to create some distractions. In a recent report, Bloomberg Intelligence projected that the 2022 domestic box-office numbers will come in at $7.5 billion, a significant boost from 2021’s $4.5 billion—but still just 66% of pre-pandemic levels. Meanwhile, 2022 has been a brutal environment for media companies, whose stock prices have tumbled across the board. The studios that supply AMC with its primary product are all facing potentially severe cutbacks of their own. Keeping the Apes amped won’t be easy. “Regardless of a brighter outlook, we fear that the 4 million-plus retail investors who have driven a 2,000%-plus surge in the stock may flip and eventually cash out, prompting more volatility,” Bloomberg Intelligence noted late last year.</p><p>For much of the summer, AMC’s share price was hovering in the $12 to $17 range. On AMC fan boards, many Apes were itching for a new rally. For months there’d been chatter about the coming Mother of All Short Squeezes—a moment, it was foretold, when the Silverback would once again rear up and smite AMC’s enemies and somehow send the share price back up. As to the timing, everyone dug through the mud of Aron’s tweets looking for buried clues.</p><p>Without any clear signs of action, frustration was evident. At AMC’s annual meeting in June, shareholders rejected the company’s executive pay plan, which in 2021 rewarded Aron with $18.9 million in total compensation. “I don’t think any of them need more money yet,” says Deborah Cooke, the AMC superfan from the Kansas screening.</p><p>Aron shook off the intra-simian setback. During the same annual meeting in June, he told shareholders that AMC would be creating a $100 million fund to invest in other businesses. First came the gold mine; who knows what could be next. “There are a number of things that we looked at that we rejected, either because it wasn’t interesting enough, or there was too much risk, or the financial returns weren’t attractive enough,” he says. “But I’m sure we’ll find other opportunities as we turn over every rock.”</p><p>AMC’s early gains on its Hycroft shares have already all but disappeared as the miner’s stock rally faded, though Aron has said he sees Hycroft as a longer-term investment, to net profits as the mine expands operations.</p><p>So what exactly is AMC at this point? A legacy theater chain with a penchant for shiny objects? A precious-metals multiplex exhibitor venture fund? Or, as Bloomberg Opinion columnistMatt Levine described it this spring, “a merchant bank that helps small companies do meme-driven at-the-market offerings and takes equity for its fee”? Aron sticks with the most anodyne of explanations: “We are a movie theater company that is looking to diversify,” he says.</p><p>In early August, with signs of Ape dissatisfaction still smoldering online, AMC reported second-quarter results that topped analysts’ estimates and revealed a plan to create a new class of preferred AMC equity, which will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Aug. 22 under the new ticker “APE.” Aron promptly uncorked a tweetstorm, explaining the “game-changing” strategy, which he compared to playing “3-D chess.”</p><p>For each share of AMC Class A common stock, shareholders would be given a preferred equity unit as a dividend. Once the trading commenced, investors would be able to buy and sell them normally. In the future, at Aron’s discretion, the company would be able to issue new APE shares to raise additional money for potential moves such as paying down debt or making acquisitions. Such issuance could, of course, reduce the value of the outstanding shares that Apes cling to. Using the all-caps style often seen in the Ape vernacular, Aron summed up the slightly byzantine proceedings in terms everyone in the community could easily understand. “TODAY … WE … POUNCE,” he wrote.</p><p>While the reaction from professional analysts was mixed, the Reddit crowd went wild. By the following day, AMC gained 19%, to close at $22.18, a four-month high.</p><p>In spite of all the grim news in the broader market, things were looking up. Historically, Aron says, movie theaters have weathered economic downturns better than more expensive forms of entertainment. “I’ve been selling tickets all my life,” he says. “I’ve sold cruise tickets, lift tickets, game tickets. I’m still selling tickets.”</p><p>Over the summer he began selling something else—commemorative Thor hammersto promote Marvel’s<i>Thor: Love and Thunder</i>. For $39.99, fans could buy their very own version of the powerful god’s favorite weapon, reimagined in a handy new form: a warlike popcorn container. Aron appears almost as excited about the popcorn hammer as the gold mine. “We’ve sold 40,000 of them already.”</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","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>AMC’s CEO Will Do Whatever It Takes to Keep His Company a Meme Forever</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\">\nAMC’s CEO Will Do Whatever It Takes to Keep His Company a Meme Forever\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-17 21:29 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2022-08-17/amc-amc-stock-became-a-meme-thanks-to-adam-aron-s-antics><strong>Bloomberg</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For most movie fans, their dream selfie with a Hollywood star never quite materializes.

But on a Friday night in June, Bruce and Deborah Cooke spotted one of their favorite movie heroes, just feet away. They moved in and asked for a photo.Adam Aron, the chairman and chief executive officer ofAMC Entertainment Holdings Inc., greeted the couple warmly, making small talk as they arranged themselves for the camera. Bruce was dressed in slacks and a button-down. Deborah wore a striking green dress. “I put my arm around you, I go to jail,” Aron, who’s 67, playfully said to Deborah, who’s 55. Everyone laughed.Three days earlier, Aron had announced on Twitter that he would personally be hosting a screening of Pixar’s new movie,Lightyear, at an AMC theater in Olathe, Kan. The Cookes, who together own a small mortgage company in Sacramento, had vowed on the spot to make the pilgrimage to Kansas.The entire AMC saga meant so much to them. During the onset of the pandemic, when movie theaters were hastily shuttered, they bought their first batch of AMC stock. Moviegoing, they believed, would eventually bounce back. Plus, they thought it was cruel that a subset of investors were trying to force the company into bankruptcy. So the Cookes joined a legion of outsider traders, loosely organized on the Reddit forumr/wallstreetbets, who were swarming to AMC’s down-and-out stock, driving up its share price and sticking it to the skeptical short sellers and hedge funds betting big on the company’s failure. The Cookes recruited their loved ones to join them. “We got a lot of friends involved,” Deborah says.On social media, people started calling their pugnacious tribe theAMC Apes, as inPlanet of the Apes, the movie about a primate uprising. By Wall Street standards, they might be primitive, but they possessed power in numbers.Better yet, they had a fearless leader atop AMC, an alpha CEO who grunted and roared on Twitter, throwing feces, so to speak, at their enemies (recurring hashtag: #LetThemEatCrow) and beating his chest every time a movie performed well at the box office (#CHOKEonTHAT). Aron hired Nicole Kidman tostar in several AMC promotionsand bellowed tirelessly about her bravura performance, dubbing the glamorous actor “the first lady of AMC.” The whole thing had a King-Kong-palming-a-fair-maiden vibe. The Apes were ecstatic.Now, after a flight to Dallas, a four-hour drive to Tulsa, a break for the night, several more hours on the road, and another respite at a crummy hotel, the Cookes were right where they wanted to be, standing loyally at the Silverback’s side. After capturing their trophy shot, the California couple took their seats. With a few minutes left before the start of the previews, the place was far from full—a slightly ominous development, which the Cookes would later chalk up to “the bad guys,” aka the hedge funds, who they suspected had snapped up tickets and let them go unused to make AMC look bad. Anything to drive down the company’s share price. “There’s no telling what [they] will do,” Deborah says.“He creates a sound, a song, a whistle from his pipe that will cause people to gravitate preferentially to whatever business in the sector that he is running”At the front of the theater, Aron got up, gave a shoutout to the Apes, and acknowledged that the pandemic had been difficult. But the vaccines were working. Movies were storming back. “Our investors are passionate,” he said. “They like AMC as a company. They don’t think I’m that bad either. But most of all, they really want to see movie theaters survive.”At first glance, Aron, who became CEO of AMC in 2016, might not seem like a natural candidate to lead a successful investor insurgency. For much of his career he worked as a well-compensated turnaround artist, the kind of mercenary operator with the right pedigree (Harvard Business School) and right demeanor (bombastically self-assured) who gets hired to fix up a faltering company and maybe sell it off at a nice markup. If anything, Aron seemed like a well-sharpened tool of the Wall Street establishment, not of the internet masses.But the pandemic shook up the entertainment cosmos and exposed a surprising lack of leadership in Hollywood. Amid all the halted productions and scrambled release schedules, everyone looked around for somebody to rally the American people behind the movie industry. When no compelling candidates emerged from the studios or the streaming services, Aron charged headlong into the void.He’s spent his entire career perfecting the art of stunt marketing and the science of customer loyalty programs. Ideal training, in other words, for this weird new zeitgeist in the business world, one that favors combative, incautious, performative CEOs (see:Musk, Elon) who can draw loyal swarms of fans online and compel them to buy their products, pump up their stock price, and troll their critics. “He has an almost Pied Piper-ish ability to attract people,” says Darryl Hartley-Leonard, former CEO of Hyatt Hotels Corp., who hired Aron at Hyatt in the 1980s. “He creates a sound, a song, a whistle from his pipe that will cause people to gravitate preferentially to whatever business in the sector that he is running.”With AMC, that whistle has taken the form of meme-y membership schemes, free-for-all earnings calls, acomical stock ticker (APE), and the bizarre acquisition of a72,000-acre gold mine. Having narrowly navigated the company through the dark days of the early pandemic and taken his followers with him on a Hollywood blockbuster-worthy ride, Aron is now facing a much more fundamental challenge: holding the entire rickety, debt-laden enterprise together during a time of rising inflation, falling stocks, accelerating economic pressure, and a troop of Apes that might finally be questioning its alpha.Mission control for Aron isn’t Los Angeles or New York or even Las Vegas.AMC’s headquartersis in Kansas. The offices are housed in a sleek, glass-clad structure in Leawood, a prosperous suburb of Kansas City. The heart of the building is an open, spacious “test seating area” that doubles as a gathering spot. Throughout the workday, staffers can grab a snack and watch whatever is playing on its jumbo screen, from the latest Hollywood trailers to an afternoon Royals game.Beginning in 2016, employees would occasionally glance up and see cable news channels airing live interviews with their new CEO, who’d arrived right after fixing up and selling off Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.Aron typically shows up at a company looking as thoroughly distressed as the properties he’s swooping in to save. The strands of his comb-over meander across his head, sometimes losing a few stragglers en route. His wardrobe, friends and former colleagues note, is remarkably beaten up for a multimillionaire executive. Even on a sunny day, he can look like a man who just parachuted in through a tempest: suit wrinkled, tie stained, shirttail flapping in the wind.When Aron took over AMC, the entire theater business was facing mounting pressure. Shopping malls, which had long enjoyed a rich, symbiotic relationship with AMC multiplexes, were losing customers to online retail, jeopardizing foot traffic to ticket booths. Meanwhile, American viewers were growing increasingly enchanted with streaming networks such as Netflix.Not long after joining the company, Aron met with Wang Jianlin, head of the Dalian Wanda Group, a Chinese conglomerate, then the majority owner of AMC. He proceeded to show Wang a list he’d drawn up of 10 things to better position AMC for the future. One idea was to revamp its customer loyalty program, AMC Stubs. Another was to expand the company through acquisitions. Wang particularly liked the notion of supersizing AMC.Aron soon embarked on a $3 billion buying spree, snapping up three major theater chains in the US and Europe. By the spring of 2017 he’d made AMC into a colossus, with more than 10,000 screens in 15 countries. Aron—who has a professional wrestling promoter’s penchant for speaking in grandiose, history-in-the-making superlatives—could now brag about AMC on a planetary scale. “The largest in the US, the largest in Europe, and the largest globally,” he says.He threw himself into every aspect of the operations, spiffing up the company’s pre-movie promos; stiff-arming a startup,MoviePass Inc., that was elbowing into the loyalty rewards market for moviegoers; and flavor-jamming AMC’s food menu with the kind of flamboyance thatGuy Fierimight relish. Before long, Aron was touting AMC’s giant new pretzel, a salty 1.5-pound behemoth dubbed the Bavarian Legend.Aron at AMC’s headquarters in Leawood, Kan.Photographer: Shawn Brackbill for Bloomberg BusinessweekAlthough he was a relative newbie to the film industry, Aron had popcorn in his blood. In the 1930s his grandfather, a convivial, politically connected businessman, co-founded a successful company called Berlo Vending. Among other things, Berlo sold all the popcorn in all the movie theaters of eastern Pennsylvania. “By the time I came around, whatever family fortune there was had pretty much been squandered,” says Aron, who grew up in a middle-class Philadelphia suburb.Like his father, an ad man who regularly acted in an amateur theater troupe, Aron gravitated to the spotlight. By high school he was a math whiz, hockey goalie, and hammy stage performer. His comedic speeches playing up the life-altering sacrifices he’d made on behalf of his classmates won him the office of class treasurer twice. Once, as president of his high school’s Key Club, he organized a fundraiser basketball game that went on for 100 straight hours—which, according to Aron, set a Guinness World Record. When he discovered a catalog that sold slightly aged Hollywood film reels by mail, he rallied friends to construct a plywood screen in their school’s auditorium, where they charged for showings ofButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,Cool Hand Luke, and, of course,Planet of the Apes. The money poured into the coffers of the senior class. “What he was like then is what he is like now,” says Aron’s high school buddy Ashton Carter, who decades later would serve as secretary of defense under Barack Obama. “He could always convince a diverse group of people to get behind his vision.”After graduating from Harvard in three years, Aron stayed to get his MBA. He studied marketing, was elected co-president of the school’s transportation club, and was captain of the hockey team. While many of his peers beelined for the riches of Wall Street, he took a job with the airline Pan Am, which by 1979 was well past its glory years. A top executive, Stephen Wolf, was looking for someone who could create more loyalty among the airline’s dwindling customers. “The problem is that anybody who was semi-young and had half a brain had sensibly and correctly left Pan Am long ago,” recalls Wolf, who went on to become CEO of United Airlines. “I found Adam in the bowels of the organization somewhere.”Aron concocted Pan Am’s first frequent-flyers club and suddenly found himself on the fast track. He’d go on to create or reengineer loyalty programs for Western Airlines (TravelPass); Hyatt Hotels (Gold Passport); United Airlines (MileagePlus); Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL Latitudes); Vail Resorts (Peaks); the Philadelphia 76ers (the Franklin Club)—and, eventually, AMC (Stubs). “Adam is a pioneer of loyalty management,” says high school pal Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, now a professor at the Yale School of Management.In the late ’80s, Hyatt Hotels CEO Hartley-Leonard hired Aron to serve as a top marketing executive. “When he came in, he really was the most disheveled human being that you’d ever seen,” Hartley-Leonard says. “The problem with Adam is that his body is deformed such that his shirt doesn’t stay in his trousers.” Aron proved to be an unusually crafty marketer who generated ideas nonstop for winning over customers from rivals and for garnering free publicity, says his former boss. He also periodically mesmerized his colleagues with stunts, like the time he floated into an executive meeting on a custom-made dirigible. “Jay Pritzker [whose family owned Hyatt] turned to me and said, ‘What the f--- did this cost?’ ” Hartley-Leonard recalls. “I said, ‘Leave Adam alone. That’s who he is.’ ”In 1996, Apollo Global Management Inc. was in the market for someone to turn around Vail Resorts, the ski resort operator. By the time Aron left that job 10 years later, he’d diversified the company’s business model and more than quintupled revenue. “Vail was transformative,” says Marc Rowan, Apollo’s billionaire CEO. “He did an unbelievable job.”So much so that when Rowan’s partner, billionaire Apollo co-founder Joshua Harris, led a group of investors to acquire middling NBA team the 76ers in 2011, they installed Aron, a minority owner, to usher in a franchise turnaround. Of course, his first order of business was a barrage of promotional schemes. He made the team’s dance squad larger. He added Julius Erving as a consultant. He showered fans in confetti. And even though he’d step aside as CEO only two years later following another lousy season, he still left an Aron-shaped imprint on the franchise:“Big Bella,”the world’s largest T-shirt launcher, a cartoonishly massive, 600 pound, multibarrel leviathan that looks like something Mad Max might have mounted on a battle tank.The 2011 press conference to announce Apollo Global Management’s acquisition of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers. For two years, Aron was the team’s CEO.Photo: Getty ImagesAs the world locked down in 2020, Aron’s acquisition binge looked disastrous. AMC, saddled with $5 billion in debt, was forced to hastily shut down 1,000 theaters worldwide. He furloughed most of roughly 26,000 workers. “You know what they don’t teach in Harvard Business School?” he says. “The zero-revenue case.”AMC warned in a filing that it was weeks away from running out of cash. Bankruptcy seemed imminent. But Aron harbored a deep, abiding dislike for what he calls “Bankruptcy Inc.” In his 30s he’d spent months fighting off the vulturous bankruptcy professionals hungrily circling Norwegian Cruise Line. At one point, he recalls indignantly, the CEO of rival Carnival Corp. predicted publicly that Norwegian would file for bankruptcy within months—but it never happened. “I’m very pleased to have proven him wrong,” Aron says.Seven months into the pandemic, there were whispers on Wall Street and in the press that AMC could be filing for Chapter 11 any day. Aron scrambled to buy more time, renegotiating AMC’s rent payments with its landlords and looking for some way to ride out the pandemic disruptions.Eventually he found a lifeline in Jason Mudrick, a lantern-jawed, poker-playing graduate of Harvard Law School, who runs Mudrick Capital Management LP, a $3.4 billion hedge fund specializing in distressed businesses. Unlike financial advisers and lawyers who make money on fees when a bankruptcy is filed, Mudrick’s firm loans money to companies facing near-death circumstances. If the company recovers, the capital is repaid handsomely. If not, the fund can seize collateral or control. In December 2020, Mudrick loaned AMC $100 million, receiving an equity stake in return. Other lenders followed.News of the loans reached retail investors just as a strange new energy began coursing through Wall Street. Thanks to some combustible mix of pandemic-induced boredom, intemperance, and ingenuity, the meme-stock phenomenon was taking off. Day traders on Reddit were identifying downtrodden, heavily shorted stocks, then piling in collectively, pushing up the share price, and hyping the frenzy on social media to rope in more buyers. It had already happened with GameStop Corp.Then it was AMC’s turn. From January to early June it soared from $2 to more than $62. Along the way, Aron seized on the freakish moment by issuing new equity at the heightened prices, replenishing AMC’s coffers.By June 2021, 4 million retail investors had bought up more than 80% of the company’s shares. Aron knew from his years optimizing stunts and membership schemes that first you capture their attention, then you get them hooked. “It was just as true with our shareholders in the year 2021 as it was with airline passengers in 1981,” he says. So he designed a program that bridged the meme world with the real one: Buying AMC’s stock would get you movie-related perks.With AMC Investor Connect, after purchasing the company’s shares and signing up for its existing Stubs rewards program, you’d be given access to discounts at theaters, invitations to movie screenings with Aron, and a free tub of popcorn. The new program may have seemed gauche to the traditional Wall Street crowd, but it gave an air of exclusivity to everyman investors, even if the benefits were fairly silly. By 2022 the program would swell to more than 700,000 members.Aron with Kidman, whom he describes as “the first lady of AMC.”Source: Adam AronMeanwhile, Aron began doubling down on his new AMC persona. Dating back to his time with the 76ers, he’d been an active social media user, albeit with fewer followers and more mishaps. At an investor roundtable last year, he was briefly caught on Zoom untrousered, according to a participant. In June 2021 he was doing a remoteinterview with a YouTube market influencerwhen he accidentally bumped his webcam, which swiveled downward to reveal that, once again, he wasn’t wearing pants. Some AMC fans speculated that the YouTube incident was another one of Aron’s public-relations stunts. When asked about it, Aron declined to comment. “I would be the first to admit that I can be iconoclastic,” he says.As his audience grew, he’d spend an hour a day on Twitter, reading feedback from the Apes and crafting truculent messages. He’d quote Winston Churchill on an earnings call—“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds”—or retweet a depiction of himself wearing a chef’s hat, holding a cleaver, and standing over a dead crow. By lacing his act with combative emotion, Aron infused AMC fandom with the kind of fervent personal identification once reserved for political parties and sports teams. Any analyst who’d dare question AMC’s prospects could expect to receive a torrent of online vitriol, even death threats, from hismore than 268,000 Twitter followers.While the Apes ate up his bellicose energy, continuing to buy up shares and vowing to hold them long-term, Aron and AMC’s other major investors began looking to cash out. With the stock riding high, everyone from the Dalian Wanda Group to Mudrick Capital to other top AMC executives were either selling off the bulk of their shares or eyeing the exits.Aron wasn’t going to let the opportunity pass. He enjoyed the perks of swank living as much as the next scorekeeping CEO, buying and selling over the years a portfolio of luxury properties from Beaver Creek, Colo., to Miami Beach. On Nov. 10, 2021, he revealed that for “estate planning” purposes he was unloading 625,000 AMC shares worth $25 million. The following month, he sold an additional chunk for $9.65 million. The family popcorn fortune, once squandered, was now restored. “Many of his friends went off into consulting and investment banking,” says high school friend Sonnenfeld. “Those people made more money initially. But he’s closed the gap a lot.”Aron with Mudrick at the Hycroft gold and silver mine in Nevada.Around midnight on Sunday, March 13, after landing at a tiny two-runway airport in rural Nevada, Aron headed to a nearby Best Western to catch a few hours of sleep. Several days earlier he’d gotten a call from Mudrick, who pitched him on an opportunity for AMC that had nothing to do with the movie business. Mudrick’s hedge fund owned a stake inHycroft Mining Holding Corp., a struggling operation in northwestern Nevada. To remain solvent, the company needed a quick cash infusion to appease its lenders. He wanted to know if AMC wanted in on a literal gold mine.Although Aron was familiar with a long list of industries, mining wasn’t one of them. But he was an expert at financial engineering, not to mention the strange metallurgy of transforming a business crisis into a windfall—and a spectacle. In recent months he’d been toying with diversifying AMC beyond theaters. There were plans to sell movie-themed merchandise, AMC-branded nonfungible tokens (NFTs), and, maybe someday, a branded credit card and cryptocurrency. Already in the works was AMC Perfectly Popcorn, which will be sold in supermarkets across the US next year. “Watch out, Orville Redenbacher,” he said on an earnings call on March 1.Aron told Mudrick he was interested. The hedge fund executive explained that they’d have to move fast: They had five days before the cost of the deal would significantly increase. Hycroft’s share price was rising, and Nasdaq rules required Aron to buy his stake at a share price that averaged the previous five days’ trading levels.So Mudrick corralled a jet in Teterboro, N.J., flew to Miami, picked up AMC Lead Director Philip Lader, then fetched Aron and AMC’s general counsel, Kevin Connor, who were on a work trip in Dallas. While in the air to Nevada, Mudrick and Aron batted around the numbers and dug into dinner. Mudrick ate a steak. Aron put away a seafood medley.Now, at 6 a.m., they arose in the dark at the hotel and set off for the mine. They drove past Winnemucca, a long-in-the-tooth railroad town where Butch Cassidy had once robbed a bank and the cellphone service was abysmal. The sun rose over the Black Rock Desert, a Martian landscape of dry playas and craggy, arid mountains. After two hours they arrived at theHycroft Mine, a dusty archipelagoof geological debris, jumbo trucks, and gaping holes in the ground—a toddler’s idea of heaven. They squeezed into a temporary office, the only place in the vicinity with Wi-Fi. For the next several hours, Aron and Mudrick took turns persuading lenders and board members to approve the sale. They inked the deal with a few minutes to spare.On March 15, when Aron announced that AMC was acquiring 22% of the largely dormant mine for $28 million, he got roughly the same reaction he’d triggered years earlier with his dirigible. Jaws dropped. Minds reeled. Somehow a recently distressed movie theater chain, saved by a hedge fund specializing in distressed lending, pumped up by retail investors profiting on distressed stocks, was now part owner of a distressed gold and silver mine, in a water-distressed pocket of the country, on a pandemic-distressed planet. The whole thing felt like a national parable. In America in 2022, distress was the new gold—or maybe fool’s gold. It was hard to say for certain.Much of the press and most analysts derided the move as just another gimmick, while others opined that the money should’ve been used to pay down the company’s exorbitant debt. But on Twitter, Aron was busy retweeting memes of himself draped in gold chains. His rationale for the investment, he said: Only two years earlier, AMC was in free fall; now it could deploy everything it learned to another underdog business.The loyal Apes followed him into the mineshaft, sending the penny stock sailing and netting AMC a $30 million profit. With the share price soaring, Hycroft took a page from the AMC playbook and offered more equity. Mudrick had initially hoped to raise $20 million. Thanks to the AMC bump, they wound up raising $200 million. Says Mudrick of Aron: “He could convince an Eskimo to buy ice.”So what exactly is AMC at this point? A legacy theater chain with a penchant for shiny objects? A precious-metals multiplex exhibitor venture fund?Last year, in a magnanimous gesture to the Apes, Aron tweaked the format of AMC’s quarterly earnings calls, allowing consumers to pose questions directly to the company’s brass. The inquiries of amateurs, he says, are often better than the ones from the professionals. “Not to be disrespectful to security analysts, but they often use earnings calls to build their financial models,” he says, segueing into an imitation of a squeaky-voiced analyst posing a tediously small-bore question.The stroke of populism has annoyed some of the pros. “These are the most painful calls for me to listen to of any in my career,” says Hunter Martin, an analyst at Creditsights Inc., a research shop. “The rhetoric is … very us vs. them, retail investor and common man. That’s their narrative. To their credit, they’re talking about the things that are important to those people. But it comes at a cost to more traditional investors who want to hear the numbers.”The Face That Launched a Thousand MemesAron’s fans will send him homemade memes of the CEO’s face hacked onto a movie poster, which he praises and tweets to his 268,000 Twitter followersSource: TwitterSource: TwitterSource: TwitterThere may be good reason to create some distractions. In a recent report, Bloomberg Intelligence projected that the 2022 domestic box-office numbers will come in at $7.5 billion, a significant boost from 2021’s $4.5 billion—but still just 66% of pre-pandemic levels. Meanwhile, 2022 has been a brutal environment for media companies, whose stock prices have tumbled across the board. The studios that supply AMC with its primary product are all facing potentially severe cutbacks of their own. Keeping the Apes amped won’t be easy. “Regardless of a brighter outlook, we fear that the 4 million-plus retail investors who have driven a 2,000%-plus surge in the stock may flip and eventually cash out, prompting more volatility,” Bloomberg Intelligence noted late last year.For much of the summer, AMC’s share price was hovering in the $12 to $17 range. On AMC fan boards, many Apes were itching for a new rally. For months there’d been chatter about the coming Mother of All Short Squeezes—a moment, it was foretold, when the Silverback would once again rear up and smite AMC’s enemies and somehow send the share price back up. As to the timing, everyone dug through the mud of Aron’s tweets looking for buried clues.Without any clear signs of action, frustration was evident. At AMC’s annual meeting in June, shareholders rejected the company’s executive pay plan, which in 2021 rewarded Aron with $18.9 million in total compensation. “I don’t think any of them need more money yet,” says Deborah Cooke, the AMC superfan from the Kansas screening.Aron shook off the intra-simian setback. During the same annual meeting in June, he told shareholders that AMC would be creating a $100 million fund to invest in other businesses. First came the gold mine; who knows what could be next. “There are a number of things that we looked at that we rejected, either because it wasn’t interesting enough, or there was too much risk, or the financial returns weren’t attractive enough,” he says. “But I’m sure we’ll find other opportunities as we turn over every rock.”AMC’s early gains on its Hycroft shares have already all but disappeared as the miner’s stock rally faded, though Aron has said he sees Hycroft as a longer-term investment, to net profits as the mine expands operations.So what exactly is AMC at this point? A legacy theater chain with a penchant for shiny objects? A precious-metals multiplex exhibitor venture fund? Or, as Bloomberg Opinion columnistMatt Levine described it this spring, “a merchant bank that helps small companies do meme-driven at-the-market offerings and takes equity for its fee”? Aron sticks with the most anodyne of explanations: “We are a movie theater company that is looking to diversify,” he says.In early August, with signs of Ape dissatisfaction still smoldering online, AMC reported second-quarter results that topped analysts’ estimates and revealed a plan to create a new class of preferred AMC equity, which will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Aug. 22 under the new ticker “APE.” Aron promptly uncorked a tweetstorm, explaining the “game-changing” strategy, which he compared to playing “3-D chess.”For each share of AMC Class A common stock, shareholders would be given a preferred equity unit as a dividend. Once the trading commenced, investors would be able to buy and sell them normally. In the future, at Aron’s discretion, the company would be able to issue new APE shares to raise additional money for potential moves such as paying down debt or making acquisitions. Such issuance could, of course, reduce the value of the outstanding shares that Apes cling to. Using the all-caps style often seen in the Ape vernacular, Aron summed up the slightly byzantine proceedings in terms everyone in the community could easily understand. “TODAY … WE … POUNCE,” he wrote.While the reaction from professional analysts was mixed, the Reddit crowd went wild. By the following day, AMC gained 19%, to close at $22.18, a four-month high.In spite of all the grim news in the broader market, things were looking up. Historically, Aron says, movie theaters have weathered economic downturns better than more expensive forms of entertainment. “I’ve been selling tickets all my life,” he says. “I’ve sold cruise tickets, lift tickets, game tickets. I’m still selling tickets.”Over the summer he began selling something else—commemorative Thor hammersto promote Marvel’sThor: Love and Thunder. For $39.99, fans could buy their very own version of the powerful god’s favorite weapon, reimagined in a handy new form: a warlike popcorn container. Aron appears almost as excited about the popcorn hammer as the gold mine. “We’ve sold 40,000 of them already.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":66,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9993313429,"gmtCreate":1660623570862,"gmtModify":1676536368102,"author":{"id":"3585370461477110","authorId":"3585370461477110","name":"Jyozu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac83cb007e9144d9710ce08e1d562f3b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9993313429","repostId":"2259004902","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2259004902","pubTimestamp":1660617454,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2259004902?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-16 10:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Red-Hot Growth Stocks to Buy in 2022 and Beyond","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2259004902","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Shares of these companies have rallied impressively in recent weeks, and they could fly higher.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The stock market has given investors a difficult time in 2022, which is evident from the 10% decline in the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> so far. But this is also an opportunity for savvy investors to buy shares of some solid companies at attractive valuations.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">Advanced Micro Devices</a> are two such companies that have borne the brunt of the stock market sell-off. Amazon stock is down 14% so far in 2022, while shares of AMD are down 30%. However, the tech giants have been in rally mode since the beginning of July thanks to the broader stock market recovery.</p><p>Amazon stock has gained 31% since the beginning of last month, while AMD is up 37%. I think it&#39;s a good idea for investors to buy these hot growth stocks now, as they could head higher in 2022 and beyond. Let&#39;s look at the reasons why.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a></h2><p>Amazon is currently trading at three times sales, which is lower than its five-year average sales multiple of 3.87. Investors shouldn&#39;t miss this opportunity to buy Amazon stock at this relatively attractive valuation given the company&#39;s latest results, which point toward better times ahead.</p><p>Amazon released its second-quarter 2022 results on July 28. Its revenue increased 7% year-over-year to $121.2 billion, beating consensus estimates of $119 billion. The tech giant followed up its better-than-expected showing with a solid outlook, forecasting sales of $125 billion to $130 billion in the current quarter. That would translate into 13% to 17% year-over-year growth, suggesting that Amazon&#39;s growth is set to pick up.</p><p>The company&#39;s diversified business streams helped it overcome the softness in the e-commerce segment last quarter. While online sales were down 4% year-over-year to $50.8 billion, strong growth in advertising, cloud, physical store sales, and subscription services led the company to stronger-than-expected results.</p><p>Amazon Web Services (AWS) revenue, for instance, was up 33% year-over-year to $19.7 billion. The segment produced 16% of the company&#39;s top line. AWS&#39; growth was driven by the addition of new products and services, which should help the company maintain its dominance in this market. More specifically, Amazon controlled 34% of the cloud infrastructure market in the second quarter.</p><p>Synergy Research Group estimates that the cloud infrastructure space has generated $203.5 billion in revenue in the trailing twelve months ending June 2022. With the cloud computing market expected to clock 17.4% annual growth through 2030, Amazon is in a solid position to record incremental revenue growth thanks to its impressive market share.</p><p>Meanwhile, the advertising business is turning out to be another key growth driver for the company. The segment generated $8.75 billion in revenue last quarter, an 18% increase over the prior year. Amazon has generated $16.6 billion from the advertising business so far this year, translating into an annual revenue run rate of over $33 billion.</p><p>There&#39;s a lot of room for growth in Amazon&#39;s advertising revenue in the long run. The company&#39;s access to the data of millions of customers and subscribers, and its massive reach across the globe, make it an ideal choice for digital advertisers. With the digital advertising market expected to clock 17% annual growth through 2027 and generate over $1 trillion in revenue, this segment could turn out to be another big money-maker for Amazon, and drive the company&#39;s long-term growth.</p><p>All these catalysts indicate why Amazon&#39;s earnings are expected to grow at an annual rate of 33% for the next five years, making it a solid growth stock to buy for the long haul.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">Advanced Micro Devices</a></h2><p>AMD proved why it is a top semiconductor stock to buy following its latest quarterly report. The company&#39;s chips are used in a variety of applications ranging from computers to gaming consoles to data centers to cars. This diversification helped it deliver a solid set of results at a time when other semiconductor companies are struggling.</p><p>AMD&#39;s second-quarter revenue shot up 70% over the prior-year period to $6.6 billion. Adjusted earnings were up 67% year-over-year to $1.05 per share. More importantly, the chipmaker reiterated its full-year guidance. AMD sees revenue growth of 60% in 2022 to $26.3 billion. Analysts expect the company&#39;s earnings to increase 57% in 2022 to $4.37 per share, but don&#39;t be surprised to see AMD deliver stronger growth, as its margin profile has improved following the acquisition of Xilinx.</p><p>So AMD looks set to sustain its hot rally in 2022. That&#39;s why investors should consider buying AMD stock without further delay, as it is trading at 42 times earnings, well below its five-year average earnings multiple of 102. A forward price-to-earnings ratio of 23 points toward healthy growth in AMD&#39;s earnings.</p><p>Even better, AMD has lucrative catalysts that should help it sustain its terrific growth in the long run. The data center market is one of them. AMD&#39;s data center revenue shot up 83% year-over-year in the second quarter to $1.5 billion as demand for its server processors remained robust. AMD&#39;s server processors are used by leading cloud service providers including Amazon, <b>Microsoft</b>, <b>Baidu</b>, <b>Oracle</b>, and Google.</p><p>The server processor market is expected to hit $52 billion in 2026.

But this is also an opportunity for savvy investors to buy shares of some solid companies at attractive valuations.Amazon and Advanced Micro Devices are two such companies that have borne the brunt of the stock market sell-off. Amazon stock is down 14% so far in 2022, while shares of AMD are down 30%. However, the tech giants have been in rally mode since the beginning of July thanks to the broader stock market recovery.Amazon stock has gained 31% since the beginning of last month, while AMD is up 37%. I think it's a good idea for investors to buy these hot growth stocks now, as they could head higher in 2022 and beyond. Let's look at the reasons why.1. AmazonAmazon is currently trading at three times sales, which is lower than its five-year average sales multiple of 3.87. Investors shouldn't miss this opportunity to buy Amazon stock at this relatively attractive valuation given the company's latest results, which point toward better times ahead.Amazon released its second-quarter 2022 results on July 28. Its revenue increased 7% year-over-year to $121.2 billion, beating consensus estimates of $119 billion. The tech giant followed up its better-than-expected showing with a solid outlook, forecasting sales of $125 billion to $130 billion in the current quarter. That would translate into 13% to 17% year-over-year growth, suggesting that Amazon's growth is set to pick up.The company's diversified business streams helped it overcome the softness in the e-commerce segment last quarter. While online sales were down 4% year-over-year to $50.8 billion, strong growth in advertising, cloud, physical store sales, and subscription services led the company to stronger-than-expected results.Amazon Web Services (AWS) revenue, for instance, was up 33% year-over-year to $19.7 billion. The segment produced 16% of the company's top line. AWS' growth was driven by the addition of new products and services, which should help the company maintain its dominance in this market. More specifically, Amazon controlled 34% of the cloud infrastructure market in the second quarter.Synergy Research Group estimates that the cloud infrastructure space has generated $203.5 billion in revenue in the trailing twelve months ending June 2022. With the cloud computing market expected to clock 17.4% annual growth through 2030, Amazon is in a solid position to record incremental revenue growth thanks to its impressive market share.Meanwhile, the advertising business is turning out to be another key growth driver for the company. The segment generated $8.75 billion in revenue last quarter, an 18% increase over the prior year. Amazon has generated $16.6 billion from the advertising business so far this year, translating into an annual revenue run rate of over $33 billion.There's a lot of room for growth in Amazon's advertising revenue in the long run. The company's access to the data of millions of customers and subscribers, and its massive reach across the globe, make it an ideal choice for digital advertisers. With the digital advertising market expected to clock 17% annual growth through 2027 and generate over $1 trillion in revenue, this segment could turn out to be another big money-maker for Amazon, and drive the company's long-term growth.All these catalysts indicate why Amazon's earnings are expected to grow at an annual rate of 33% for the next five years, making it a solid growth stock to buy for the long haul.2. Advanced Micro DevicesAMD proved why it is a top semiconductor stock to buy following its latest quarterly report. The company's chips are used in a variety of applications ranging from computers to gaming consoles to data centers to cars. This diversification helped it deliver a solid set of results at a time when other semiconductor companies are struggling.AMD's second-quarter revenue shot up 70% over the prior-year period to $6.6 billion. Adjusted earnings were up 67% year-over-year to $1.05 per share. More importantly, the chipmaker reiterated its full-year guidance. AMD sees revenue growth of 60% in 2022 to $26.3 billion. Analysts expect the company's earnings to increase 57% in 2022 to $4.37 per share, but don't be surprised to see AMD deliver stronger growth, as its margin profile has improved following the acquisition of Xilinx.So AMD looks set to sustain its hot rally in 2022. That's why investors should consider buying AMD stock without further delay, as it is trading at 42 times earnings, well below its five-year average earnings multiple of 102. A forward price-to-earnings ratio of 23 points toward healthy growth in AMD's earnings.Even better, AMD has lucrative catalysts that should help it sustain its terrific growth in the long run. The data center market is one of them. AMD's data center revenue shot up 83% year-over-year in the second quarter to $1.5 billion as demand for its server processors remained robust. AMD's server processors are used by leading cloud service providers including Amazon, Microsoft, Baidu, Oracle, and Google.The server processor market is expected to hit $52 billion in 2026. AMD has generated $2.78 billion in data center revenue in the first two quarters of 2022. The potential size of the end market suggests that there is a lot of room for AMD to grow its revenue. The good part is that AMD is consistently taking market share away from Intel in the server CPU space.Mercury Research reports that AMD finished the second quarter with 13.9% of the server CPU market under its control, up from 9.5% in the year-ago period. The chipmaker looks well-placed to take more share away from Intel, as it is on track to launch new server processors this year that could reportedly perform better than the latter's offerings.All this indicates that AMD remains a resilient semiconductor bet despite the negativity around companies from this sector, and investors are getting a good deal on the stock right now that they may not want to miss.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":10,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[],"lives":[]}
