@DoTrading:SPX-Inflation beaten...do not claim victory...

2022-11-19

ok

@Deshost:I would like to thank my sister for her sharing of her research and insight of those counters that she is trading in. Of course I'm thankful that this year I'm able to lower the transaction fees substantially thru 🐯 Tiger. And thanks to my luck that supplements my hardwork and efforts in my own analysis of the counters I'm looking in. Cheers and Merry Christmas

Ok

@cozyzi:$Occidental(OXY)$ IMO WB and CVX have an understanding about the future of OXY. I said this on this board about 8 months ago and I believe it more so every time that WB buys more OXY shares. If WB exercises his warrants his stake in OXY is around 26%. I think the CVX bid will be made public when WB buys an additional 4% of OXY. I think the offer by CVX will be around $90 to $100 per OXY share.

I think the offer by CVX will be around $90 to $100 per OXY share.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":2,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9043448501","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":776,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9085628330,"gmtCreate":1650690947233,"gmtModify":1676534778353,"author":{"id":"4092232575508910","authorId":"4092232575508910","name":"Nick82","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/251f48238dee9d2e992666e5a39337a9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092232575508910","authorIdStr":"4092232575508910"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9085628330","repostId":"2229641491","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2229641491","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1650668840,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2229641491?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-23 07:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall St Slumps as Weak Earnings, Rate Hike Clarity Spook Investors","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2229641491","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Healthcare stocks slump on HCA, Intuitive Surgical numbers* Big tech down ahead of earnings next w","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>* Healthcare stocks slump on HCA, Intuitive Surgical numbers</p><p>* Big tech down ahead of earnings next week</p><p>* Dow posts biggest one-day fall since Oct. 2020</p><p>* Weekly falls: Dow 1.9%, S&amp;P 2.8%, Nasdaq 3.8%</p><p>* Indexes down on Friday: Dow 2.82%, S&amp;P 2.77%, Nasdaq 2.55% </p><p>April 22 (Reuters) - Wall Street tumbled more than 2.5% on Friday, ensuring the three main benchmarks ended in negative territory for the week, as surprise earnings news and increased certainty around aggressive near-term interest rate rises took its toll on investors.</p><p>It was the third straight week of losses for both the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq, while the Dow Jones posted its fourth weekly decline in a row.</p><p>For the Dow, its 2.82% drop on Friday was its biggest one-day fall since October 2020.</p><p>Exaggerated trading swings have become more common recently, as traders adjust to new data points from earnings, as well as when rates will rise again.

What To Expect.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106445011","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The Coca-Cola Company is expected to register top and bottom-line growth when it reportsfirst-quarte","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The Coca-Cola Company is expected to register top and bottom-line growth when it reportsfirst-quarter 2022 numberson Apr 25, before the opening bell.</p><p>Coca-Cola may reinforice its vast reach in the global soft-drink market by reporting strong high-single-digit organic revenue growth in 1Q, which it is expected to benefit from the reopening of on-premise venues such as restaurants and stadiums as pandemic restrictions ease. A favorable sales mix shift to these away-from-home channels may support gross margin, but higher input costs and greater marketing spending could reduce operating profitability, despite possible additional expense relief from the implementation of its sweeping reorganization in 2021.</p><p>It is expected management to address its March 8 decision to suspend its business in Russia. Together, Russia and Ukraine make up about 1% of Coca-Cola&#39;s consolidated net revenue and 2% of operating income.</p><p><b>Last Quarter Performance Review</b></p><p>Moving towards its upcoming Q1 results, it’s important to note that Coca-Cola is coming from a mixed Q4.</p><p>Revenues came in at $9.5 billion, nearly 11% higher versus Q4 2020. Specifically, organic revenues rose 9% year-over-year, supported by a 10% gain in pricing and mix, offset by a 1% reduction in volume. The highlight of Coca-Cola’s last report was that organic sales in EMEA leaped 17%, while North America also reported a bold 14% boost.</p><p>Regarding the overall product mix, Hydration, Sports, Coffee, and Tea sales rose 12% during the quarter, while Nutrition, Juice, Dairy, and Plant-Based Beverages gained by a satisfactory 11%. Surprisingly, Sparkling Soft Drinks also reported decent growth of around 8%. Hence, the company indeed experienced relatively strong growth levels across its portfolio of brands.</p><p><b>Key Points to Note</b></p><p>Coca-Cola’s results in the recent quarters have been benefiting from strategic transformation and ongoing recovery around the world. The company’s top line has been improving, owing to strength across the majority of the markets, investments in the marketplace and the cycling of last year’s pandemic-led impacts, which have been aiding volumes. Revenues are also expected to have gained from improved price/mix, driven by pricing actions in the marketplace coupled with a favorable channel and package mix due to the lapping of last year’s pandemic-led disruptions.</p><p>Continued volume gains in the trademark Coca-Cola; sparkling flavors; the nutrition, juice, dairy and plant-based beverages; and hydration, sports, coffee and tea categories are expected to get reflected in the company’s first-quarter results.</p><p>Additionally, Coca-Cola’s first-quarter results are likely to reflect ongoing gains from innovations and accelerating digital investments. The company has been witnessing a splurge in e-commerce, with the growth rate of the channel doubling in many countries. It has been accelerating investments to build strong digital capabilities. The company has been consistently strengthening consumer connections and further piloting various digital-enabled initiatives through fulfillment methods to capture the online demand, which are likely to have boosted first-quarter sales.</p><p>However, Coca-Cola has been witnessing pressures from higher supply-chain costs, including higher commodity input costs and transportation expenses. It has also been seeing pressures related to commodity and material cost inflation. The pressures from input cost inflation and other costs are likely to have hurt the performance in the first quarter.</p><p>Coca-Cola has been investing in its markets and brands to support sales growth, with higher spending on consumer-facing activities. This has led to higher marketing investments in the past few quarters. Higher marketing spending, and an increase in short-term incentives and stock-based compensation are expected to have led to increased selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter.</p><p>The Coca-Cola Company is often praised for its lengthy shareholder capital return history, including 60 years of successive annual dividend hikes. Hence, the company boasts the title of Dividend Aristocrat. Two months ago, in fact, the company announced its 60th annual dividend hike, with the dividend growth starting to reaccelerate.</p><p>While Coca-Cola is likely to continue growing its capital returns for decades to come, I remain cautious of the stock’s current valuation multiples relative to the company’s rather underwhelming growth prospects.</p><p>Accordingly, I am neutral on the stock.</p><p><b>The Effects of the Ongoing War on Margins</b></p><p>That said, there are some headwinds to consider. Coca-Cola’s operating margin in Q4 came in at 22.1% on an adjusted basis compared to 27.3% in the prior-year period. This was due to significant marketing investments. Further, last month the company announced it had suspended its operations in Russia amid the Russia-Ukraine war.</p><p>As a result, it’s quite likely that this will have an effect on Coca-Cola’s international sales and, consequently, on margins. Coca-Cola’s operations in Russia and Ukraine made up around 2% of the company’s net operating revenue last year, which may sound like a miniature number.</p><p>However, we need to consider Coca-Cola’s production in the country as well. In the first half of last year, Coca-Cola produced 1.35 billion liters of beverages at 10 plants in Russia. Thus, combined with Coca-Cola’s efforts to increase its production in other countries to compensate for this loss of product, it’s quite likely to see operating margins compress further in the short-to-medium term.</p><p>Another hit in profitability in the company’s upcoming results could stem from the overall rise in costs amid elevated inflation levels. In March, U.S. monthly producer prices (PPI) rose by the most it has increased in more than 12 years. It accelerated from last month to 11.2% year-over-year.</p><p>Thus, considering that Coca-Cola is unlikely to raise prices that much, the ongoing inflationary environment could negatively impact the company’s margins too.</p><p><b>Can the Dividend Grow Faster?</b></p><p>Coca-Cola has managed to unfailingly increase its dividend payments for decades. As mentioned earlier, the company recently celebrated its 60th annual dividend increase, which was at a rather surprising rate, to their credit. The 4.8% increase was the highest since 2018 and higher than its eight-year dividend per share CAGR of 4.68%, which could indicate an acceleration in dividend growth.</p><p>Remember, however, that Coca-Cola has recorded a relatively stagnated net income over the past decade, with any per-share net income increase primarily backed by stock buybacks during this period.</p><p>As Coca-Cola continued to hike its dividend during these years while its earnings stayed fixed, the payout ratio gradually squeezed. The dividend, in fact, comprised the majority of net income over the past few years and even temporarily exceeded net income levels during the pandemic.</p><p>One argument here could be that excluding depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash items, the payouts could be better covered by Coca-Cola’s free cash flow. The company needs to cover dividends of $1.76 (DPS) times 4.3 billion (shares outstanding) = ~$7.56 billion. Thus, management’s free cash flow outlook of $10.5 billion for the year should sufficiently cover the dividend.</p><p>Overall, I have mixed feelings about Coca-Cola’s dividend. On the one hand, earnings could potentially be squeezed in the coming quarters following the situation in Ukraine.</p><p>On the other hand, the latest dividend hike’s pace points in the other direction. In any case, I doubt the company will not resort to slowing down dividend growth going forward if earnings don’t expand faster in the near term.</p><p><b>Wall Street’s Take</b></p><p>Coca Cola&#39;s revenue in the first quarter of 2022 is expected to be $9.836 billion, the adjusted net profit is expected to be $2.512 billion and the adjusted EPS is expected to be $0.581, according to Bloomberg&#39;s unanimous expectation.</p><p>Turning to Wall Street, Coca-Cola has a Moderate Buy consensus rating, based on 10 Buys and four Holds assigned in the past three months. At $67.71, the average Coca-Cola price target implies 4.4% upside potential, according to TipRanks.</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>Coca-Cola Earnings Are Coming.

Here's why.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The metaverse is rapidly expanding in every direction, embracing all kinds of well-known brands and challenging companies to find interesting ways to bring more virtual life into the real world. One company that was late to the game, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a></b>, has been trying to imply that it will be the future of the metaverse, despite being a rather late-comer to the scene.</p><p>Although metaverse real estate has great potential, not every platform is going to make it. It&#39;s simply not possible. People will stay where there&#39;s interest, and we&#39;re going through the growing pains of figuring out where that is right now. But Meta, which used to be known as Facebook, isn&#39;t it. Here&#39;s why:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a138f56a7b7619f316f01d055c071ae2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>1. Meta Platforms relies on proprietary hardware that&#39;s not had widespread adoption</h2><p>Sales of Meta&#39;s Oculus Virtual Reality (VR) headset amounted to an estimated 11.2 million sets in 2021, making it one of the world&#39;s more popular headsets. That may sound like a lot of headsets, but it&#39;s important to remember that gaming platform <b>Roblox</b> has 54.7 million daily users, and <b>Microsoft</b>&#39;s Minecraft has 140 million monthly users,  and neither of these platforms requires additional equipment or bulky VR gear that has been known to cause physical side effects in some people.</p><p>Meta Platform&#39;s Horizon Worlds and Horizons Venues were reported to have 300,000 total users as of February 2022,  a far cry from even the 600,000 monthly active users of <b>Decentraland</b>.  The hardware requirement definitely plays a part in the lack of adoption of Meta Platforms&#39; VR platforms and -- because this is integral to the software&#39;s functionality -- will continue to hold it back until something gives with VR hardware.</p><h2>2. Meta Platforms doesn&#39;t give true ownership to users</h2><p>Unlike blockchain-based metaverse platforms like Decentraland and <b>The Sandbox</b>, Meta Platform&#39;s projects are owned by Meta at the end of the day. They don&#39;t allow for users to really own their own designs or real estate, regardless of whatever money those users may put into it. For some, this may feel like no big deal, but for many people who are adopting the metaverse, ownership is the entire point. They want to be able to wholly own what they buy and what they create, even if it&#39;s a pair of virtual sneakers or a piece of virtual art.</p><p>More importantly, Meta Platforms will never allow the control of the Horizon projects to go to its community, because the whole thing is still centrally owned by Meta Platforms. Decentraland and The Sandbox either have decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) as their ruling body or are in the process of creating them. These groups allow users to democratically make decisions for their own communities, including things like setting fees and deciding when or if the platform should close.</p><p>The difference in the legal structure of goods between Decentraland and The Sandbox and Meta Platforms is that both Decentraland and The Sandbox are built on top of a blockchain system that allows true ownership of virtual property. Items that are sold are deeded to the buyers, who can then do whatever they please with them, including selling them off-platform, or, as technology develops, even moving them into different metaverse spaces.</p><p>Creators of blockchain-based items that are secured by non-fungible tokens, as they are on Decentraland and The Sandbox, can also draw royalties from their creations over time, depending on the contracts tied to these items. None of this is possible with Meta Platform-based items, and if Meta Platforms decided to close shop or make an item illegal and remove it entirely, there would be no mechanism in place to appeal or draw any value from things that users may have invested in, even to the point that selling for scrap would be impossible.</p><h2>3. Meta Platforms fees are egregious</h2><p>There&#39;s no two ways about it, a metaverse platform is only as strong as its community, and that community is influenced by the power of the social, as well as the financial, ecosystem. By Meta Platform&#39;s own admission, it will be taking a 47.5% cut of any sale of digital assets on Horizon Worlds.</p><p>Without a healthy creative community, one that&#39;s properly incentivized, it&#39;s going to be hard for Meta Platforms to really set roots. By comparison, The Sandbox charges just 5% to users and Decentraland only 2.5%, part of which is then rolled back into those communities.</p><h2>Meta Platforms isn&#39;t where the metaverse is headed</h2><p>It was unsurprising that Meta Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg took an idea that was already working and tried to imply that he created it by changing the name of his company from Facebook to Meta Platforms, but the sad truth is that he&#39;s already missed the boat. Not only are Meta Platform worlds reliant upon proprietary hardware that many home users may not be willing to commit to, they aren&#39;t really even built in the spirit of the metaverse.</p><p>The metaverse is a place that&#39;s built on a strong sense of community, and often on top of a blockchain backbone. These two things go hand in hand, really. Crypto communities are growing in power and influence, and they&#39;re using the metaverse as a place to show what a person can do with these currencies. At the same time, the power of the blockchain can&#39;t be ignored, as it literally keeps track of every transaction in many metaverse platforms, so there&#39;s a solid and transparent sales history on any given item.</p><p>Transparency is going to be everything as we move toward a metaverse future. Property types like real estate, especially, require a dedicated record that demonstrates ownership beyond a doubt, and that goes doubly for metaverse real estate.

One company that was late to the game, Meta Platforms, has been trying to imply that it will be the future of the metaverse, despite being a rather late-comer to the scene.Although metaverse real estate has great potential, not every platform is going to make it. It's simply not possible. People will stay where there's interest, and we're going through the growing pains of figuring out where that is right now. But Meta, which used to be known as Facebook, isn't it. Here's why:Image source: Getty Images.1. Meta Platforms relies on proprietary hardware that's not had widespread adoptionSales of Meta's Oculus Virtual Reality (VR) headset amounted to an estimated 11.2 million sets in 2021, making it one of the world's more popular headsets. That may sound like a lot of headsets, but it's important to remember that gaming platform Roblox has 54.7 million daily users, and Microsoft's Minecraft has 140 million monthly users,  and neither of these platforms requires additional equipment or bulky VR gear that has been known to cause physical side effects in some people.Meta Platform's Horizon Worlds and Horizons Venues were reported to have 300,000 total users as of February 2022,  a far cry from even the 600,000 monthly active users of Decentraland.  The hardware requirement definitely plays a part in the lack of adoption of Meta Platforms' VR platforms and -- because this is integral to the software's functionality -- will continue to hold it back until something gives with VR hardware.2. Meta Platforms doesn't give true ownership to usersUnlike blockchain-based metaverse platforms like Decentraland and The Sandbox, Meta Platform's projects are owned by Meta at the end of the day. They don't allow for users to really own their own designs or real estate, regardless of whatever money those users may put into it. For some, this may feel like no big deal, but for many people who are adopting the metaverse, ownership is the entire point. They want to be able to wholly own what they buy and what they create, even if it's a pair of virtual sneakers or a piece of virtual art.More importantly, Meta Platforms will never allow the control of the Horizon projects to go to its community, because the whole thing is still centrally owned by Meta Platforms. Decentraland and The Sandbox either have decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) as their ruling body or are in the process of creating them. These groups allow users to democratically make decisions for their own communities, including things like setting fees and deciding when or if the platform should close.The difference in the legal structure of goods between Decentraland and The Sandbox and Meta Platforms is that both Decentraland and The Sandbox are built on top of a blockchain system that allows true ownership of virtual property. Items that are sold are deeded to the buyers, who can then do whatever they please with them, including selling them off-platform, or, as technology develops, even moving them into different metaverse spaces.Creators of blockchain-based items that are secured by non-fungible tokens, as they are on Decentraland and The Sandbox, can also draw royalties from their creations over time, depending on the contracts tied to these items. None of this is possible with Meta Platform-based items, and if Meta Platforms decided to close shop or make an item illegal and remove it entirely, there would be no mechanism in place to appeal or draw any value from things that users may have invested in, even to the point that selling for scrap would be impossible.3. Meta Platforms fees are egregiousThere's no two ways about it, a metaverse platform is only as strong as its community, and that community is influenced by the power of the social, as well as the financial, ecosystem. By Meta Platform's own admission, it will be taking a 47.5% cut of any sale of digital assets on Horizon Worlds.Without a healthy creative community, one that's properly incentivized, it's going to be hard for Meta Platforms to really set roots. By comparison, The Sandbox charges just 5% to users and Decentraland only 2.5%, part of which is then rolled back into those communities.Meta Platforms isn't where the metaverse is headedIt was unsurprising that Meta Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg took an idea that was already working and tried to imply that he created it by changing the name of his company from Facebook to Meta Platforms, but the sad truth is that he's already missed the boat. Not only are Meta Platform worlds reliant upon proprietary hardware that many home users may not be willing to commit to, they aren't really even built in the spirit of the metaverse.The metaverse is a place that's built on a strong sense of community, and often on top of a blockchain backbone. These two things go hand in hand, really. Crypto communities are growing in power and influence, and they're using the metaverse as a place to show what a person can do with these currencies. At the same time, the power of the blockchain can't be ignored, as it literally keeps track of every transaction in many metaverse platforms, so there's a solid and transparent sales history on any given item.Transparency is going to be everything as we move toward a metaverse future. Property types like real estate, especially, require a dedicated record that demonstrates ownership beyond a doubt, and that goes doubly for metaverse real estate. The metaverse is a place where no one centralized company owns everything, and where community is what makes a platform worth engaging with.Zuckerberg has created a VR game. It might be useful for certain activities, like having meetings for work, but it's not the thing that's going to revolutionize the metaverse concept. Proto-metaverse platform Second Life did that in 2003; we just didn't realize the impact or importance of it at the time.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":753,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9082341984,"gmtCreate":1650529670852,"gmtModify":1676534745521,"author":{"id":"4092232575508910","authorId":"4092232575508910","name":"Nick82","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/251f48238dee9d2e992666e5a39337a9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092232575508910","authorIdStr":"4092232575508910"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow&nbsp;","listText":"Wow&nbsp;","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9082341984","repostId":"1103529842","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103529842","kind":"news","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":1650528054,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1103529842?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-21 16:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Stock Rallied 7% in Premarket Trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103529842","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Tesla Q1 Sales Jumped 81% despite Supply-Chain Disruptions","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Tesla stock rallied 7% in premarket trading. Tesla said it earned $3.2 billion, or $2.86 a share, in the first quarter, compared with earnings of $438 million, or 39 cents a share, in the year-ago period.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b39479eb62c7071666bcfdb3e978c3da\" tg-width=\"940\" tg-height=\"664\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Tesla Inc. late Wednesday reported another record quarter of sales and profit, blowing past Wall Street estimates even though it said its factories continue to run below capacity due to supply-chain problems.</p><p>On a post-results call with investors, Chief Executive Elon Musk focused on some of the more futuristic endeavors for Tesla <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">$(TSLA)$</a>, such as promising a new &#34;robotaxi&#34;

Although Amazon’s quarterly guidance missed analysts’ expectations, investors were optimistic about its fast-growing business units like cloud computing.Facebook parent Meta, on the other hand, set a record on Thursday for biggest single-day trading loss on a U.S. exchange when its market cap plummeted over $230 billion. The social media giant’s wipe-out beat the previous record set in September 2020 by Apple, whose market cap tumbled $182 billion.Meta’s market cap decimation came a day after it reported poor earnings that spooked investors who were concerned about its stagnant user growth and increased competition from companies like TikTok.Indeed, while Meta said that Apple’s privacy changes to iOS had hurt its core online ad business, competitor Snap, the parent of Snapchat, revealed during its quarterly earnings this week that its business is rebounding more quickly than it expected from the same issue.Apple’s iOS changes made it more difficult for companies like Meta and Snap to target online ads to users.In response to its good news, Snap shares surged nearly 60% on Friday, underscoring investor optimism.Meanwhile, Netflix’s continues to have a hard time, with its shares dropping nearly 20% in a single day in January after it reported slowing subscriber growth during its most quarter.And Peloton’s shares rose 26% in after-hours trading on Friday after the Wall Street Journal reported that Amazon was interested in acquiring the struggling exercise equipment maker.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1199,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9098839489,"gmtCreate":1644074628354,"gmtModify":1676533888063,"author":{"id":"4092232575508910","authorId":"4092232575508910","name":"Nick82","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/251f48238dee9d2e992666e5a39337a9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092232575508910","authorIdStr":"4092232575508910"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9098839489","repostId":"1105297016","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105297016","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1644048053,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1105297016?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-05 16:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here Are the Tech Stocks to Buy After a Crazy Week of Earnings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105297016","media":"Barrons","summary":"Tech investors just survived what could be the most tumultuous stretch of earnings we’ve ever seen.T","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Tech investors just survived what could be the most tumultuous stretch of earnings we’ve ever seen.</p><p>The tech megacaps— Alphabet (ticker: GOOGL), Amazon.com (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Meta Platforms (FB), and Microsoft (MSFT)—are some of the most widely scrutinized institutions on Earth.

The stock looks like a bargain.</p><p><b>You can’t overstate the importance of cloud computing:</b> One of the most important themes from the last two weeks is that the cloud businesses at Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet just continue to get better. All three turned in better-than-expected results. Microsoft reported 46% growth for its Azure business in the December quarter—and projected even faster growth in the March quarter. Google Cloud revenue grew 45% for the second straight quarter. And AWS helped offset softness in Amazon’s core e-commerce business, with revenue growth improving to 40% from 39%, accelerating for the fourth-straight quarter. The cloud arms of these three giants are the best enterprise computing businesses in the market.</p><p><b>Raising the stakes:</b> Amazon last week raised the monthly rate on Amazon Prime by 15% for monthly payers to $15.99; annual subscription will see a 17% increase to $139. The company last increased the Prime subscription rate in 2018, and costs for labor and delivery are rising, so a price bump seems rational.</p><p>The move comes just weeks after Netflix (NFLX) instituted a price increase for its subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. It will be interesting to see the consumer reaction, but my suspicion is that elasticity is high—the services are valuable, and there aren’t easy substitutions.</p><p>The price hikes indicate just how confident Amazon and Netflix are about their subscriptions. Here’s a little perspective: the New York Times (NYT), which in recent weeks announced deals to acquire the sports news site the Athletic and the popular word game Wordle, has set a goal of 15 million total subscribers by 2027. Both Amazon and Netflix have more than 200 million subscribers apiece.</p><p><b>Spend wisely:</b> Alphabet last week declared a 20-for-1 stock split, which will bring the share price down to around the $150 range. But what they aren’t doing is paying actual dividends. They should. The company has $140 billion in cash and equivalents; it generated $18.6 billion in free cash flow in the latest quarter.</p><p>Meta just highlighted the risks of choosing buybacks over dividends. The Facebook parent bought back $33 billion of stock over just the last two quarters. Given the Meta selloff last week, that cash was basically set on fire. Had the company instead declared a special dividend, it could have paid holders close to $14 a share.</p><p><b>The shakeout isn’t over:</b> The underlying issues that have plagued tech stocks for months are still in place. Interest rates are going to head higher still. Chips remain in short supply. Inflation is uncomfortably high. The market’s appetite for speculative names is low. There’s a reason the best performing tech stocks so far this year are cheap—old school names like VMware (VMW), Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Dell Technologies (DELL), and IBM (IBM).</p><p>In the past two weeks we’ve learned that more than ever the market likes consistency. That’s what made Meta’s earnings and outlook this past week so troubling: Facebook is no longer the reliable performer investors have come to expect. But the rest of Big Tech still fits the bill. Apple and Microsoft consistently beat expectations with products customers want. And you can say the same for Google and Amazon.

Although Amazon’s quarterly guidance missed analysts’ expectations, investors were optimistic about its fast-growing business units like cloud computing.Facebook parent Meta, on the other hand, set a record on Thursday for biggest single-day trading loss on a U.S. exchange when its market cap plummeted over $230 billion. The social media giant’s wipe-out beat the previous record set in September 2020 by Apple, whose market cap tumbled $182 billion.Meta’s market cap decimation came a day after it reported poor earnings that spooked investors who were concerned about its stagnant user growth and increased competition from companies like TikTok.Indeed, while Meta said that Apple’s privacy changes to iOS had hurt its core online ad business, competitor Snap, the parent of Snapchat, revealed during its quarterly earnings this week that its business is rebounding more quickly than it expected from the same issue.Apple’s iOS changes made it more difficult for companies like Meta and Snap to target online ads to users.In response to its good news, Snap shares surged nearly 60% on Friday, underscoring investor optimism.Meanwhile, Netflix’s continues to have a hard time, with its shares dropping nearly 20% in a single day in January after it reported slowing subscriber growth during its most quarter.And Peloton’s shares rose 26% in after-hours trading on Friday after the Wall Street Journal reported that Amazon was interested in acquiring the struggling exercise equipment maker.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1199,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9098839489,"gmtCreate":1644074628354,"gmtModify":1676533888063,"author":{"id":"4092232575508910","authorId":"4092232575508910","name":"Nick82","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/251f48238dee9d2e992666e5a39337a9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092232575508910","authorIdStr":"4092232575508910"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9098839489","repostId":"1105297016","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105297016","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1644048053,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1105297016?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-05 16:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here Are the Tech Stocks to Buy After a Crazy Week of Earnings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105297016","media":"Barrons","summary":"Tech investors just survived what could be the most tumultuous stretch of earnings we’ve ever seen.T","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Tech investors just survived what could be the most tumultuous stretch of earnings we’ve ever seen.</p><p>The tech megacaps— Alphabet (ticker: GOOGL), Amazon.com (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Meta Platforms (FB), and Microsoft (MSFT)—are some of the most widely scrutinized institutions on Earth.

Even after Friday’s 14% rally, Amazon shares are still down year to date, following just a minimal gain in 2021. The stock looks like a bargain.</p><p><b>You can’t overstate the importance of cloud computing:</b> One of the most important themes from the last two weeks is that the cloud businesses at Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet just continue to get better. All three turned in better-than-expected results. Microsoft reported 46% growth for its Azure business in the December quarter—and projected even faster growth in the March quarter. Google Cloud revenue grew 45% for the second straight quarter. And AWS helped offset softness in Amazon’s core e-commerce business, with revenue growth improving to 40% from 39%, accelerating for the fourth-straight quarter. The cloud arms of these three giants are the best enterprise computing businesses in the market.</p><p><b>Raising the stakes:</b> Amazon last week raised the monthly rate on Amazon Prime by 15% for monthly payers to $15.99; annual subscription will see a 17% increase to $139. The company last increased the Prime subscription rate in 2018, and costs for labor and delivery are rising, so a price bump seems rational.</p><p>The move comes just weeks after Netflix (NFLX) instituted a price increase for its subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. It will be interesting to see the consumer reaction, but my suspicion is that elasticity is high—the services are valuable, and there aren’t easy substitutions.</p><p>The price hikes indicate just how confident Amazon and Netflix are about their subscriptions. Here’s a little perspective: the New York Times (NYT), which in recent weeks announced deals to acquire the sports news site the Athletic and the popular word game Wordle, has set a goal of 15 million total subscribers by 2027. Both Amazon and Netflix have more than 200 million subscribers apiece.</p><p><b>Spend wisely:</b> Alphabet last week declared a 20-for-1 stock split, which will bring the share price down to around the $150 range. But what they aren’t doing is paying actual dividends. They should. The company has $140 billion in cash and equivalents; it generated $18.6 billion in free cash flow in the latest quarter.</p><p>Meta just highlighted the risks of choosing buybacks over dividends. The Facebook parent bought back $33 billion of stock over just the last two quarters. Given the Meta selloff last week, that cash was basically set on fire. Had the company instead declared a special dividend, it could have paid holders close to $14 a share.</p><p><b>The shakeout isn’t over:</b> The underlying issues that have plagued tech stocks for months are still in place. Interest rates are going to head higher still. Chips remain in short supply. Inflation is uncomfortably high. The market’s appetite for speculative names is low. There’s a reason the best performing tech stocks so far this year are cheap—old school names like VMware (VMW), Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Dell Technologies (DELL), and IBM (IBM).</p><p>In the past two weeks we’ve learned that more than ever the market likes consistency. That’s what made Meta’s earnings and outlook this past week so troubling: Facebook is no longer the reliable performer investors have come to expect. But the rest of Big Tech still fits the bill. Apple and Microsoft consistently beat expectations with products customers want. And you can say the same for Google and Amazon.

Once again, Big Tech was the earnings season winner.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":558,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9085628330,"gmtCreate":1650690947233,"gmtModify":1676534778353,"author":{"id":"4092232575508910","authorId":"4092232575508910","name":"Nick82","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/251f48238dee9d2e992666e5a39337a9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092232575508910","authorIdStr":"4092232575508910"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9085628330","repostId":"2229641491","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2229641491","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1650668840,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2229641491?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-23 07:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall St Slumps as Weak Earnings, Rate Hike Clarity Spook Investors","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2229641491","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Healthcare stocks slump on HCA, Intuitive Surgical numbers* Big tech down ahead of earnings next w","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>* Healthcare stocks slump on HCA, Intuitive Surgical numbers</p><p>* Big tech down ahead of earnings next week</p><p>* Dow posts biggest one-day fall since Oct. 2020</p><p>* Weekly falls: Dow 1.9%, S&amp;P 2.8%, Nasdaq 3.8%</p><p>* Indexes down on Friday: Dow 2.82%, S&amp;P 2.77%, Nasdaq 2.55% </p><p>April 22 (Reuters) - Wall Street tumbled more than 2.5% on Friday, ensuring the three main benchmarks ended in negative territory for the week, as surprise earnings news and increased certainty around aggressive near-term interest rate rises took its toll on investors.</p><p>It was the third straight week of losses for both the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq, while the Dow Jones posted its fourth weekly decline in a row.</p><p>For the Dow, its 2.82% drop on Friday was its biggest one-day fall since October 2020.</p><p>Exaggerated trading swings have become more common recently, as traders adjust to new data points from earnings, as well as when rates will rise again.

What To Expect.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106445011","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The Coca-Cola Company is expected to register top and bottom-line growth when it reportsfirst-quarte","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The Coca-Cola Company is expected to register top and bottom-line growth when it reportsfirst-quarter 2022 numberson Apr 25, before the opening bell.</p><p>Coca-Cola may reinforice its vast reach in the global soft-drink market by reporting strong high-single-digit organic revenue growth in 1Q, which it is expected to benefit from the reopening of on-premise venues such as restaurants and stadiums as pandemic restrictions ease. A favorable sales mix shift to these away-from-home channels may support gross margin, but higher input costs and greater marketing spending could reduce operating profitability, despite possible additional expense relief from the implementation of its sweeping reorganization in 2021.</p><p>It is expected management to address its March 8 decision to suspend its business in Russia. Together, Russia and Ukraine make up about 1% of Coca-Cola&#39;s consolidated net revenue and 2% of operating income.</p><p><b>Last Quarter Performance Review</b></p><p>Moving towards its upcoming Q1 results, it’s important to note that Coca-Cola is coming from a mixed Q4.</p><p>Revenues came in at $9.5 billion, nearly 11% higher versus Q4 2020. Specifically, organic revenues rose 9% year-over-year, supported by a 10% gain in pricing and mix, offset by a 1% reduction in volume. The highlight of Coca-Cola’s last report was that organic sales in EMEA leaped 17%, while North America also reported a bold 14% boost.</p><p>Regarding the overall product mix, Hydration, Sports, Coffee, and Tea sales rose 12% during the quarter, while Nutrition, Juice, Dairy, and Plant-Based Beverages gained by a satisfactory 11%. Surprisingly, Sparkling Soft Drinks also reported decent growth of around 8%. Hence, the company indeed experienced relatively strong growth levels across its portfolio of brands.</p><p><b>Key Points to Note</b></p><p>Coca-Cola’s results in the recent quarters have been benefiting from strategic transformation and ongoing recovery around the world. The company’s top line has been improving, owing to strength across the majority of the markets, investments in the marketplace and the cycling of last year’s pandemic-led impacts, which have been aiding volumes. Revenues are also expected to have gained from improved price/mix, driven by pricing actions in the marketplace coupled with a favorable channel and package mix due to the lapping of last year’s pandemic-led disruptions.</p><p>Continued volume gains in the trademark Coca-Cola; sparkling flavors; the nutrition, juice, dairy and plant-based beverages; and hydration, sports, coffee and tea categories are expected to get reflected in the company’s first-quarter results.</p><p>Additionally, Coca-Cola’s first-quarter results are likely to reflect ongoing gains from innovations and accelerating digital investments. The company has been witnessing a splurge in e-commerce, with the growth rate of the channel doubling in many countries. It has been accelerating investments to build strong digital capabilities. The company has been consistently strengthening consumer connections and further piloting various digital-enabled initiatives through fulfillment methods to capture the online demand, which are likely to have boosted first-quarter sales.</p><p>However, Coca-Cola has been witnessing pressures from higher supply-chain costs, including higher commodity input costs and transportation expenses. It has also been seeing pressures related to commodity and material cost inflation. The pressures from input cost inflation and other costs are likely to have hurt the performance in the first quarter.</p><p>Coca-Cola has been investing in its markets and brands to support sales growth, with higher spending on consumer-facing activities. This has led to higher marketing investments in the past few quarters. Higher marketing spending, and an increase in short-term incentives and stock-based compensation are expected to have led to increased selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter.</p><p>The Coca-Cola Company is often praised for its lengthy shareholder capital return history, including 60 years of successive annual dividend hikes. Hence, the company boasts the title of Dividend Aristocrat. Two months ago, in fact, the company announced its 60th annual dividend hike, with the dividend growth starting to reaccelerate.</p><p>While Coca-Cola is likely to continue growing its capital returns for decades to come, I remain cautious of the stock’s current valuation multiples relative to the company’s rather underwhelming growth prospects.</p><p>Accordingly, I am neutral on the stock.</p><p><b>The Effects of the Ongoing War on Margins</b></p><p>That said, there are some headwinds to consider. Coca-Cola’s operating margin in Q4 came in at 22.1% on an adjusted basis compared to 27.3% in the prior-year period. This was due to significant marketing investments. Further, last month the company announced it had suspended its operations in Russia amid the Russia-Ukraine war.</p><p>As a result, it’s quite likely that this will have an effect on Coca-Cola’s international sales and, consequently, on margins. Coca-Cola’s operations in Russia and Ukraine made up around 2% of the company’s net operating revenue last year, which may sound like a miniature number.</p><p>However, we need to consider Coca-Cola’s production in the country as well. In the first half of last year, Coca-Cola produced 1.35 billion liters of beverages at 10 plants in Russia. Thus, combined with Coca-Cola’s efforts to increase its production in other countries to compensate for this loss of product, it’s quite likely to see operating margins compress further in the short-to-medium term.</p><p>Another hit in profitability in the company’s upcoming results could stem from the overall rise in costs amid elevated inflation levels. In March, U.S. monthly producer prices (PPI) rose by the most it has increased in more than 12 years. It accelerated from last month to 11.2% year-over-year.</p><p>Thus, considering that Coca-Cola is unlikely to raise prices that much, the ongoing inflationary environment could negatively impact the company’s margins too.</p><p><b>Can the Dividend Grow Faster?</b></p><p>Coca-Cola has managed to unfailingly increase its dividend payments for decades. As mentioned earlier, the company recently celebrated its 60th annual dividend increase, which was at a rather surprising rate, to their credit. The 4.8% increase was the highest since 2018 and higher than its eight-year dividend per share CAGR of 4.68%, which could indicate an acceleration in dividend growth.</p><p>Remember, however, that Coca-Cola has recorded a relatively stagnated net income over the past decade, with any per-share net income increase primarily backed by stock buybacks during this period.</p><p>As Coca-Cola continued to hike its dividend during these years while its earnings stayed fixed, the payout ratio gradually squeezed. The dividend, in fact, comprised the majority of net income over the past few years and even temporarily exceeded net income levels during the pandemic.</p><p>One argument here could be that excluding depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash items, the payouts could be better covered by Coca-Cola’s free cash flow. The company needs to cover dividends of $1.76 (DPS) times 4.3 billion (shares outstanding) = ~$7.56 billion. Thus, management’s free cash flow outlook of $10.5 billion for the year should sufficiently cover the dividend.</p><p>Overall, I have mixed feelings about Coca-Cola’s dividend. On the one hand, earnings could potentially be squeezed in the coming quarters following the situation in Ukraine.</p><p>On the other hand, the latest dividend hike’s pace points in the other direction. In any case, I doubt the company will not resort to slowing down dividend growth going forward if earnings don’t expand faster in the near term.</p><p><b>Wall Street’s Take</b></p><p>Coca Cola&#39;s revenue in the first quarter of 2022 is expected to be $9.836 billion, the adjusted net profit is expected to be $2.512 billion and the adjusted EPS is expected to be $0.581, according to Bloomberg&#39;s unanimous expectation.</p><p>Turning to Wall Street, Coca-Cola has a Moderate Buy consensus rating, based on 10 Buys and four Holds assigned in the past three months.

The company’s top line has been improving, owing to strength across the majority of the markets, investments in the marketplace and the cycling of last year’s pandemic-led impacts, which have been aiding volumes. Revenues are also expected to have gained from improved price/mix, driven by pricing actions in the marketplace coupled with a favorable channel and package mix due to the lapping of last year’s pandemic-led disruptions.</p><p>Continued volume gains in the trademark Coca-Cola; sparkling flavors; the nutrition, juice, dairy and plant-based beverages; and hydration, sports, coffee and tea categories are expected to get reflected in the company’s first-quarter results.</p><p>Additionally, Coca-Cola’s first-quarter results are likely to reflect ongoing gains from innovations and accelerating digital investments. The company has been witnessing a splurge in e-commerce, with the growth rate of the channel doubling in many countries. It has been accelerating investments to build strong digital capabilities. The company has been consistently strengthening consumer connections and further piloting various digital-enabled initiatives through fulfillment methods to capture the online demand, which are likely to have boosted first-quarter sales.</p><p>However, Coca-Cola has been witnessing pressures from higher supply-chain costs, including higher commodity input costs and transportation expenses. It has also been seeing pressures related to commodity and material cost inflation. The pressures from input cost inflation and other costs are likely to have hurt the performance in the first quarter.</p><p>Coca-Cola has been investing in its markets and brands to support sales growth, with higher spending on consumer-facing activities. This has led to higher marketing investments in the past few quarters. Higher marketing spending, and an increase in short-term incentives and stock-based compensation are expected to have led to increased selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter.</p><p>The Coca-Cola Company is often praised for its lengthy shareholder capital return history, including 60 years of successive annual dividend hikes. Hence, the company boasts the title of Dividend Aristocrat. Two months ago, in fact, the company announced its 60th annual dividend hike, with the dividend growth starting to reaccelerate.</p><p>While Coca-Cola is likely to continue growing its capital returns for decades to come, I remain cautious of the stock’s current valuation multiples relative to the company’s rather underwhelming growth prospects.</p><p>Accordingly, I am neutral on the stock.</p><p><b>The Effects of the Ongoing War on Margins</b></p><p>That said, there are some headwinds to consider. Coca-Cola’s operating margin in Q4 came in at 22.1% on an adjusted basis compared to 27.3% in the prior-year period. This was due to significant marketing investments. Further, last month the company announced it had suspended its operations in Russia amid the Russia-Ukraine war.</p><p>As a result, it’s quite likely that this will have an effect on Coca-Cola’s international sales and, consequently, on margins. Coca-Cola’s operations in Russia and Ukraine made up around 2% of the company’s net operating revenue last year, which may sound like a miniature number.</p><p>However, we need to consider Coca-Cola’s production in the country as well. In the first half of last year, Coca-Cola produced 1.35 billion liters of beverages at 10 plants in Russia. Thus, combined with Coca-Cola’s efforts to increase its production in other countries to compensate for this loss of product, it’s quite likely to see operating margins compress further in the short-to-medium term.</p><p>Another hit in profitability in the company’s upcoming results could stem from the overall rise in costs amid elevated inflation levels. In March, U.S. monthly producer prices (PPI) rose by the most it has increased in more than 12 years. It accelerated from last month to 11.2% year-over-year.</p><p>Thus, considering that Coca-Cola is unlikely to raise prices that much, the ongoing inflationary environment could negatively impact the company’s margins too.</p><p><b>Can the Dividend Grow Faster?</b></p><p>Coca-Cola has managed to unfailingly increase its dividend payments for decades.

Here's why.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The metaverse is rapidly expanding in every direction, embracing all kinds of well-known brands and challenging companies to find interesting ways to bring more virtual life into the real world. One company that was late to the game, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a></b>, has been trying to imply that it will be the future of the metaverse, despite being a rather late-comer to the scene.</p><p>Although metaverse real estate has great potential, not every platform is going to make it. It&#39;s simply not possible. People will stay where there&#39;s interest, and we&#39;re going through the growing pains of figuring out where that is right now. But Meta, which used to be known as Facebook, isn&#39;t it. Here&#39;s why:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a138f56a7b7619f316f01d055c071ae2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>1. Meta Platforms relies on proprietary hardware that&#39;s not had widespread adoption</h2><p>Sales of Meta&#39;s Oculus Virtual Reality (VR) headset amounted to an estimated 11.2 million sets in 2021, making it one of the world&#39;s more popular headsets. That may sound like a lot of headsets, but it&#39;s important to remember that gaming platform <b>Roblox</b> has 54.7 million daily users, and <b>Microsoft</b>&#39;s Minecraft has 140 million monthly users,  and neither of these platforms requires additional equipment or bulky VR gear that has been known to cause physical side effects in some people.</p><p>Meta Platform&#39;s Horizon Worlds and Horizons Venues were reported to have 300,000 total users as of February 2022,  a far cry from even the 600,000 monthly active users of <b>Decentraland</b>.  The hardware requirement definitely plays a part in the lack of adoption of Meta Platforms&#39; VR platforms and -- because this is integral to the software&#39;s functionality -- will continue to hold it back until something gives with VR hardware.</p><h2>2. Meta Platforms doesn&#39;t give true ownership to users</h2><p>Unlike blockchain-based metaverse platforms like Decentraland and <b>The Sandbox</b>, Meta Platform&#39;s projects are owned by Meta at the end of the day. They don&#39;t allow for users to really own their own designs or real estate, regardless of whatever money those users may put into it. For some, this may feel like no big deal, but for many people who are adopting the metaverse, ownership is the entire point. They want to be able to wholly own what they buy and what they create, even if it&#39;s a pair of virtual sneakers or a piece of virtual art.</p><p>More importantly, Meta Platforms will never allow the control of the Horizon projects to go to its community, because the whole thing is still centrally owned by Meta Platforms. Decentraland and The Sandbox either have decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) as their ruling body or are in the process of creating them. These groups allow users to democratically make decisions for their own communities, including things like setting fees and deciding when or if the platform should close.</p><p>The difference in the legal structure of goods between Decentraland and The Sandbox and Meta Platforms is that both Decentraland and The Sandbox are built on top of a blockchain system that allows true ownership of virtual property. Items that are sold are deeded to the buyers, who can then do whatever they please with them, including selling them off-platform, or, as technology develops, even moving them into different metaverse spaces.</p><p>Creators of blockchain-based items that are secured by non-fungible tokens, as they are on Decentraland and The Sandbox, can also draw royalties from their creations over time, depending on the contracts tied to these items. None of this is possible with Meta Platform-based items, and if Meta Platforms decided to close shop or make an item illegal and remove it entirely, there would be no mechanism in place to appeal or draw any value from things that users may have invested in, even to the point that selling for scrap would be impossible.</p><h2>3. Meta Platforms fees are egregious</h2><p>There&#39;s no two ways about it, a metaverse platform is only as strong as its community, and that community is influenced by the power of the social, as well as the financial, ecosystem. By Meta Platform&#39;s own admission, it will be taking a 47.5% cut of any sale of digital assets on Horizon Worlds.</p><p>Without a healthy creative community, one that&#39;s properly incentivized, it&#39;s going to be hard for Meta Platforms to really set roots. By comparison, The Sandbox charges just 5% to users and Decentraland only 2.5%, part of which is then rolled back into those communities.</p><h2>Meta Platforms isn&#39;t where the metaverse is headed</h2><p>It was unsurprising that Meta Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg took an idea that was already working and tried to imply that he created it by changing the name of his company from Facebook to Meta Platforms, but the sad truth is that he&#39;s already missed the boat. Not only are Meta Platform worlds reliant upon proprietary hardware that many home users may not be willing to commit to, they aren&#39;t really even built in the spirit of the metaverse.</p><p>The metaverse is a place that&#39;s built on a strong sense of community, and often on top of a blockchain backbone. These two things go hand in hand, really. Crypto communities are growing in power and influence, and they&#39;re using the metaverse as a place to show what a person can do with these currencies. At the same time, the power of the blockchain can&#39;t be ignored, as it literally keeps track of every transaction in many metaverse platforms, so there&#39;s a solid and transparent sales history on any given item.</p><p>Transparency is going to be everything as we move toward a metaverse future. Property types like real estate, especially, require a dedicated record that demonstrates ownership beyond a doubt, and that goes doubly for metaverse real estate.

One company that was late to the game, Meta Platforms, has been trying to imply that it will be the future of the metaverse, despite being a rather late-comer to the scene.Although metaverse real estate has great potential, not every platform is going to make it. It's simply not possible. People will stay where there's interest, and we're going through the growing pains of figuring out where that is right now. But Meta, which used to be known as Facebook, isn't it. Here's why:Image source: Getty Images.1. Meta Platforms relies on proprietary hardware that's not had widespread adoptionSales of Meta's Oculus Virtual Reality (VR) headset amounted to an estimated 11.2 million sets in 2021, making it one of the world's more popular headsets. That may sound like a lot of headsets, but it's important to remember that gaming platform Roblox has 54.7 million daily users, and Microsoft's Minecraft has 140 million monthly users,  and neither of these platforms requires additional equipment or bulky VR gear that has been known to cause physical side effects in some people.Meta Platform's Horizon Worlds and Horizons Venues were reported to have 300,000 total users as of February 2022,  a far cry from even the 600,000 monthly active users of Decentraland.  The hardware requirement definitely plays a part in the lack of adoption of Meta Platforms' VR platforms and -- because this is integral to the software's functionality -- will continue to hold it back until something gives with VR hardware.2. Meta Platforms doesn't give true ownership to usersUnlike blockchain-based metaverse platforms like Decentraland and The Sandbox, Meta Platform's projects are owned by Meta at the end of the day. They don't allow for users to really own their own designs or real estate, regardless of whatever money those users may put into it. For some, this may feel like no big deal, but for many people who are adopting the metaverse, ownership is the entire point. They want to be able to wholly own what they buy and what they create, even if it's a pair of virtual sneakers or a piece of virtual art.More importantly, Meta Platforms will never allow the control of the Horizon projects to go to its community, because the whole thing is still centrally owned by Meta Platforms. Decentraland and The Sandbox either have decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) as their ruling body or are in the process of creating them. These groups allow users to democratically make decisions for their own communities, including things like setting fees and deciding when or if the platform should close.The difference in the legal structure of goods between Decentraland and The Sandbox and Meta Platforms is that both Decentraland and The Sandbox are built on top of a blockchain system that allows true ownership of virtual property. Items that are sold are deeded to the buyers, who can then do whatever they please with them, including selling them off-platform, or, as technology develops, even moving them into different metaverse spaces.Creators of blockchain-based items that are secured by non-fungible tokens, as they are on Decentraland and The Sandbox, can also draw royalties from their creations over time, depending on the contracts tied to these items. None of this is possible with Meta Platform-based items, and if Meta Platforms decided to close shop or make an item illegal and remove it entirely, there would be no mechanism in place to appeal or draw any value from things that users may have invested in, even to the point that selling for scrap would be impossible.3. Meta Platforms fees are egregiousThere's no two ways about it, a metaverse platform is only as strong as its community, and that community is influenced by the power of the social, as well as the financial, ecosystem. By Meta Platform's own admission, it will be taking a 47.5% cut of any sale of digital assets on Horizon Worlds.Without a healthy creative community, one that's properly incentivized, it's going to be hard for Meta Platforms to really set roots. By comparison, The Sandbox charges just 5% to users and Decentraland only 2.5%, part of which is then rolled back into those communities.Meta Platforms isn't where the metaverse is headedIt was unsurprising that Meta Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg took an idea that was already working and tried to imply that he created it by changing the name of his company from Facebook to Meta Platforms, but the sad truth is that he's already missed the boat. Not only are Meta Platform worlds reliant upon proprietary hardware that many home users may not be willing to commit to, they aren't really even built in the spirit of the metaverse.The metaverse is a place that's built on a strong sense of community, and often on top of a blockchain backbone. These two things go hand in hand, really. Crypto communities are growing in power and influence, and they're using the metaverse as a place to show what a person can do with these currencies. At the same time, the power of the blockchain can't be ignored, as it literally keeps track of every transaction in many metaverse platforms, so there's a solid and transparent sales history on any given item.Transparency is going to be everything as we move toward a metaverse future. Property types like real estate, especially, require a dedicated record that demonstrates ownership beyond a doubt, and that goes doubly for metaverse real estate. The metaverse is a place where no one centralized company owns everything, and where community is what makes a platform worth engaging with.Zuckerberg has created a VR game. It might be useful for certain activities, like having meetings for work, but it's not the thing that's going to revolutionize the metaverse concept. Proto-metaverse platform Second Life did that in 2003; we just didn't realize the impact or importance of it at the time.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":753,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
