His logic is simple, increasing earnings without major capital requirements is a better business to be in. It takes money to make money, but you want it to take as little money as possible.</p><p>This begs the question why Warren Buffett spent $44 B to buy Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) in 2009. Railroads take a lot of capital expenditure to grow. He explained this purchase in his 2020 Letter to Shareholders where he clarifies that asset heavy business can be good investments as long as they deliver returns on incremental investment.</p><p>The following chart shows Amazon with the rest of the companies in the S&amp;P 500 for context. The blue shaded area here shows the distribution of all other companies in the S&amp;P 500 since 2003. Amazon is way down at the bottom below the 15th percentile. On a simple linear ratings system, it might only get 1 out of 5 stars. As I outlined above this would be a mistake.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aa30b56f526070e566065d1c797b37eb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"382\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Instead of a simple linear scale you should look at Returns on Unleveraged Net Tangible Assets as an either/or, but not neither, measure. Let me explain. In this measure companies should strive to not be mediocre. They should find a strategy of extremes like competing on low cost or high differentiation, but not companies should not try to do both. Great companies have extremely high Returns on Net Tangible Assets and show up above the blue region in the chart above. This group is great because they can grow so fast. Good companies show up below the blue region in the chart. These companies are good when they have a massive capital investment moat around them causing any new entrant to go broke trying to gain scale to compete. Amazon has this moat in the massive logistics system surrounding its retail segments and massive datacenter holdings surrounding its web services.</p><h3>Risk Reward Forecast</h3><p>The below chart is a prediction of value at risk and potential return of holding Amazon stock. As shown by the blue intrinsic value region in the chart below, Amazon is below any level of intrinsic value it has traded at in the last 5 years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3b0cfe7cedd93b0c97f8c45be75ae2a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"357\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Amazon.com now has a value at risk of 21%. While this is high, it is all short-term trading risk and not long-term investment risk. The low-price prediction of $73.16 is based on historic short-term volatility. With a central forecast of $165.90 potential yearly returns are as high as 59%.</p><h3>About the Risk Forecast</h3><p>In the case of Amazon, historical data on earnings, revenue, and federal funds rate is used to train a series of machine learning algorithms to create a forecast of price risk. The chart probably needs some explanation. The blue bands represent the predicted intrinsic value of the company with the actual price data shown against the prediction. The grey forecast portion shows how the price of $92.46 at the time of forecast relates to the intrinsic value of the company.</p><p>The algorithms do a pretty good job of predicting long term price movement, but price will go outside the blue bands. Those bands are only there to show you where the price should be 90% of the time. This forecast, and forecasts for other stocks as well, tend to lag price when it goes down and lead when it goes up. This makes it useful to determine risk in a stock, but it is less reliable for market timing. That said, I am unaware of any market timing schemes that stand up to robust analysis.</p><h3>Amazon Revenue Growth: Past and Present</h3><p>The next chart shows the last 8 years of earnings and revenue as well as forecasts for the next 2 years from 13 sell-side analysts reporting from major brokerage houses.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/abc60f250f3aa60fdf7522e69fb5d06a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"213\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>The revenue forecasts show that revenues are projected to grow on a 12.5% trend over the next two years. This is down almost 50% from Amazon&#39;s historical growth trend of 25.3%. Growth rates of 25% a year are extraordinary, whereas a 12% curve is still good, but no longer extraordinary.</p><p>2023 revenue estimates are in line with long term trends. The estimates are centered around $1020.63 per share with the entire range fitting between $1006.82 and $1031.16. The revenue picture for Amazon is stable.</p><h3>Amazon Earnings Expectations</h3><p>Earnings are a different story entirely. After peaking in 2021 and 2022 Pro Forma earnings per share expectations have come way down and are expected to be between $1.08 and -$0.07 next year and $3.11 and $1.40 in 2024.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1140ca748562675693792b7076e9f24a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"213\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Amazon has seen a slight drop in revenue growth and a major drop in earnings. The important point to note is that forecasts are well known and therefore priced into any reasonably efficient market including the market for Amazon stock.</p><p>Amazon&#39;s earnings estimates change a lot though. I am working toward a quantification of how much this change affects share prices to quantify what Warren Buffet calls &#39;bob around&#39; earnings.&#39; While I am working on that, you can see the effects of estimate changes in the above two plots. See how the revenue curves look smooth, but the earnings curve jumps around. The curve represents analyst forecast change over time. Any change in slope is a change in analyst estimates at that time.</p><p>I can&#39;t tell you how earnings estimates will change moving forward, but just realize they could swing up or down by significant amounts.</p><h3>Analyst Sentiment</h3><p>We therefore need to look at recent analyst change which I consider analyst sentiment. The below chart summarizes analyst behavior for all stocks in the S&amp;P across the last 2 decades. The neutral point shows analysts tend to increase estimates by 1.3% monthly and are currently pessimistic on the S&amp;P having decreased estimates by -1.0% over the past 30 days. Amazon shows extremely positive sentiment at a 10.1% increase over the past month.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/74fc037354791333fb82a93a8e11435d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"213\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>The above chart looks bullish, but we need to temper it with the realization that a 10% increase after the massive decrease in earnings forecasts, we have seen only indicates it isn&#39;t as bad as we thought.</p><h3>Final Word</h3><p>As shown in the Risk Return forecast, it is likely to take at least a year for price levels to return to 2021 values. Given that revenue growth is intact and competitive advantage through sheer size of net tangible assets is a formidable moat, Amazon will likely return to previous earnings levels. Get ready for your Prime membership fee to increase, and likely a split of prime video as a separate offering, but Amazon&#39;s earnings will return. It&#39;s just a matter of when, and how much we pay for it as consumers.</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>Amazon: Looking At Risk Vs.

always a good feeling to hear the “ka-ching” in your bank account when you receive adividend.Dividends represent a tangible return on your investment while acting as a stream of passive income.By tracking stocks that pay out dividends, you can get an idea of which stocks you may wish to place on your buy watchlist.REITsare the perfect asset class for regular dividends as they need to pay out 90% of their earnings as distributions.Blue-chip stocksalso fit the bill as they possess the financial strength and track record to dole out steady payouts.Here are five Singapore stocks that are paying out, or have paid out, dividends this month.Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust, or FLCT, owns 105 commercial and industrial properties worth around S$6.7 billion as of 30 September 2022.These properties are spread out across five countries, namely Singapore, the UK, Germany, Australia, and the Netherlands.FLCT reported a downbeat set of earnings for its fiscal 2022 (FY2022), with revenue dipping 4.1% year on year to S$450.2 million and net property income (NPI) falling 3.7% year on year to S$342.1 million.Distribution per unit (DPU) for FY2022 slipped 0.8% year on year to S$0.0762.For its fiscal 2022’s second half (2H2022), DPU fell by 2.8% year on year to S$0.0377.The 2H2022 distribution will be paid on 15 December 2022.The REIT has a gearing ratio of 27.4% with a low cost of debt of just 1.6% as of 30 September 2022.With a debt headroom of S$3.2 billion, FLCT could be gearing up for a major acquisition.Boustead Singapore Limited Boustead Singapore Limited, or BSL, is a conglomerate with four divisions – Energy Engineering, Real Estate, Geospatial, and Healthcare.The engineering group reported a weaker set of earnings for its fiscal 2023’s first half (1H2023) ending 30 September 2022.Revenue fell 27% year on year to S$246.9 million while gross profit slipped 8% year on year to S$73.9 million.Core net profit, stripping out exceptional items, declined by 28% year on year to S$13.6 million.The group did, however, generate a significantly higher operating cash flow of S$42.7 million in 1H2023 compared to S$17.5 million in 1H2022.An interim dividend of S$0.015 was paid out on 1 December, the same quantum as a year ago.Mapletree Industrial Trust Mapletree Industrial Trust, or MIT, owns a portfolio of 85 properties in Singapore and 56 in the US worth S$8.9 billion as of 30 September 2022.MIT reported a mixed performance for its fiscal 2023’s second quarter (2Q2023).Both revenue and NPI increased by 12.8% and 8.3% year on year, respectively, to S$175.5 million and S$130.3 million.However, DPU dipped slightly by 3.2% year on year to S$0.0336.The DPU will be paid out on 12 December, and MIT has applied the distribution reinvestment plan for this quarter’s distribution.That said, the REIT manager intends to release S$6.6 million of tax-exempt income over the next three quarters to mitigate the rise in operating costs.Singapore Airlines Limited Singapore Airlines Limited, or SIA, is Singapore’s flagship carrier.The group has enjoyed stronger business volumes as economies reopened and pent-up demand led to more people booking air tickets for vacations.Passenger numbers have soared for SIA’s 2Q2023 ending 30 September 2022, going from 466,000 in the prior year to 6.3 million.As a result, the airline’s 1H2023 numbers came in very strong as it reported arecord-high operating profitof S$1.2 billion.SIA also resumed its dividend payments, declaring an interim dividend of S$0.10 to be paid out on 22 December.For context, its latest interim dividend was even higher than the S$0.08 that was paid out in November 2019 before the pandemic hit.Singtel Singtel is Singapore’s largest telecommunication company (telco).The group posted amixed set of earningsfor 1H2023, with revenue dipping by 5.1% year on year to S$7.3 billion.However, an exceptional gain booked for the sale of a 3.3% stake in Bharti Airtel led to net profit climbing 23% year on year to S$1.2 billion.If this exceptional gain was excluded, core net profit still inched up 2% year on year to S$1 billion.Because of the divestment, Singtel declared a special dividend of S$0.05 to be paid out equally in two tranches – during its interim results and then again when it reports its FY2022 earnings in May next year.The telco also announced an interim dividend of S$0.046.Both dividends will be paid out on 9 December.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":493,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9967008820,"gmtCreate":1670218660361,"gmtModify":1676538323123,"author":{"id":"4101119886251660","authorId":"4101119886251660","name":"Ystar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101119886251660","authorIdStr":"4101119886251660"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9967008820","repostId":"2288946354","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2288946354","pubTimestamp":1670206384,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2288946354?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-05

offer solid buying opportunities right now.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The bear market may not feel like a great time for investing. But here&#39;s the thing: It actually is one of the <i>best</i> times to buy stocks. That&#39;s because you can pick up stocks that may have been expensive in the past for a bargain. In many cases, we&#39;re talking about market leaders and companies that have become household names.</p><p>Bear markets don&#39;t last forever (thankfully). So, these solid players could rebound and thrive at any moment. That means right now is the time to get in on companies that have what it takes to lift your portfolio over the long term. Let&#39;s check out five monster stocks to buy before 2023.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a></h2><p><b>Amazon</b> (AMZN) has had a tough year. The e-commerce and cloud computing giant has reported quarter after quarter of declines in operating income. And free cash flow has even shifted to an outflow. That&#39;s as higher inflation increased Amazon&#39;s costs and weighed on the wallets of its customers.</p><p>Things don&#39;t look great for the company right now. But the key words are &#34;right now.&#34; The long-term picture remains extremely bright. The e-commerce and cloud computing services markets are forecast to grow in the double digits this decade. Amazon, as a leader, should benefit.</p><p>Also, today&#39;s tough times have prompted the company to improve its cost structure. That will serve it well in the future. It has shifted its investments to favor its cloud computing business, Amazon Web Services. That business still is posting double-digit growth in operating income and revenue.</p><p>As for e-commerce, Amazon this fall reached record sign-ups for its U.S. Prime subscription service. That, too, is another great sign for the future.</p><p>Amazon trades for its cheapest in relation to sales since 2015. Through a long-term lens, the stock looks dirt cheap.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DIS\">Disney</a></h2><p><b>Disney</b> (DIS) has reached a big turning point. The entertainment giant has reported growth in its parks, experiences, and products business. And it&#39;s made great progress in signing on members to its streaming services -- adding 57 million this year. But Disney is struggling with higher costs. And its shares have tumbled 36% this year.</p><p>But here&#39;s the good news. Disney recently brought back longtime Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger. He&#39;s the one responsible for successes like the purchases of Pixar and Marvel. He is also the CEO behind the blockbuster film <i>Frozen</i>.</p><p>Iger proved himself when it comes to general growth at Disney. During his tenure, market value, revenue, and profit climbed in the triple digits. All of this means he is probably the best person to put Disney back on the right track.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b17c5eb0a02b001f785d54ec60be4b0\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>DIS Market Cap data by YCharts</p><p>The strength in the parks business is another bright spot. That business&#39; revenue rose 73% in the recently ended fiscal year. And parks, experiences, and products traditionally has contributed the most to the company&#39;s total revenue.</p><p>Today, Disney trades for about half of what it was trading for earlier this year -- that&#39;s in relation to forward earnings estimates. So now is time to get in on this recovery story.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c96ed2ef42b4e17257e5d9a6bb65cec4\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>DIS PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts</p><h2>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ETSY\">Etsy</a></h2><p><b>Etsy</b> (ETSY) soared during the early days of the pandemic, when people opted for online shopping over in-store visits. The company is a platform connecting sellers of handmade items with buyers.</p><p>Since then, Etsy&#39;s growth has slowed. And the shares are heading for a 36% loss this year. That said, the company is weathering the economic storm better than most retailers. Sellers are small businesses, so elements like supply chain issues and inventory woes are less of a problem.</p><p>Etsy actually managed to grow its marketplace gross merchandise sales (GMS) 0.2% in the third quarter. That&#39;s excluding the impact of currency exchanges. And if we compare it with the pre-pandemic third quarter of 2019, GMS jumped 134%.</p><p>The company also has done a great job of growing its audience -- and keeping shoppers loyal. Habitual buyers made up 46% of GMS in the quarter. And Etsy brought in 6 million new buyers.</p><p>Today, it trades for 33 times forward earnings estimates. That&#39;s down from more than 60 earlier this year. Considering Etsy&#39;s strength in revenue and the loyalty of its shoppers, future prospects look good. And that&#39;s why today&#39;s price is a real bargain.</p><h2>4. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ISRG\">Intuitive Surgical</a></h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ISRG\">Intuitive Surgical </a> is the global leader in robotic surgery -- by far. The company holds nearly 80% of the market, according to BIS Research. And this leadership is likely to continue for two reasons.</p><p>First, surgical robots cost more than $1 million. So once a hospital has made this sort of investment, it&#39;s likely to stick with it. Second, most surgeons are trained on Intuitive&#39;s flagship da Vinci system. It&#39;s unlikely they&#39;ll want to switch to an entirely new system from one they know well.</p><p>What else to like about Intuitive? Its revenue model doesn&#39;t depend only on the sales of these robots. Intuitive also has a source of recurrent revenue. And this revenue actually surpasses that of robot sales. I&#39;m talking about sales of the instruments and accessories that surgeons need for each procedure.</p><p>Intuitive&#39;s recent share performance doesn&#39;t reflect this great business model. This year, the stock is heading for a 23% decline. The company suffered on and off during the pandemic as hospitals postponed surgeries. That meant hospitals didn&#39;t have to invest in instruments right away. They also didn&#39;t focus on buying new robotic systems.</p><p>Today, Intuitive trades at 58 times forward earnings estimates. That&#39;s compared with more than 72 earlier this year. Considering the long-term leadership picture, now is time to load up on this healthcare player.</p><h2>5. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HD\">Home Depot</a></h2><p><b>Home Depot</b>&#39;s (HD) earnings have defied the bear market. But its stock performance hasn&#39;t. The shares are heading for a 21% drop this year. And the shares are a screaming buy at less than 20 times forward earnings estimates.</p><p>The world&#39;s biggest home-improvement retailer says demand has remained strong in both its do-it-yourself (DIY) business and professional business. Importantly, the pros say their project backlogs are strong. This suggests they will continue to shop at Home Depot in the coming months as they launch these new projects. And that&#39;s great news for Home Depot&#39;s revenue.</p><p>The pro market totals $450 billion, offering Home Depot room for growth. The company is making efforts to keep these customers and its DIY shoppers loyal.</p><p>For example, it&#39;s adding new features to its app to streamline the shopping experience. The efforts are working. The company has seen double-digit growth all year in monthly active users. That&#39;s compared with last year.</p><p>And in the most recent quarter, 11 of the 14 merchandising areas posted positive comparable sales. All of this means there&#39;s reason to be optimistic about Home Depot&#39;s future earnings. And earnings growth could translate into major share gains. So, now, before 2023, is the perfect time to add this winning player to your portfolio.</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>5 Monster Stocks to Buy Before 2023</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\">\n5 Monster Stocks to Buy Before 2023\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-12-05 10:13 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/12/03/5-monster-stocks-to-buy-before-2023/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The bear market may not feel like a great time for investing.

During his tenure, market value, revenue, and profit climbed in the triple digits. All of this means he is probably the best person to put Disney back on the right track.DIS Market Cap data by YChartsThe strength in the parks business is another bright spot. That business' revenue rose 73% in the recently ended fiscal year. And parks, experiences, and products traditionally has contributed the most to the company's total revenue.Today, Disney trades for about half of what it was trading for earlier this year -- that's in relation to forward earnings estimates. So now is time to get in on this recovery story.DIS PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts3. EtsyEtsy (ETSY) soared during the early days of the pandemic, when people opted for online shopping over in-store visits. The company is a platform connecting sellers of handmade items with buyers.Since then, Etsy's growth has slowed. And the shares are heading for a 36% loss this year. That said, the company is weathering the economic storm better than most retailers. Sellers are small businesses, so elements like supply chain issues and inventory woes are less of a problem.Etsy actually managed to grow its marketplace gross merchandise sales (GMS) 0.2% in the third quarter. That's excluding the impact of currency exchanges. And if we compare it with the pre-pandemic third quarter of 2019, GMS jumped 134%.The company also has done a great job of growing its audience -- and keeping shoppers loyal. Habitual buyers made up 46% of GMS in the quarter. And Etsy brought in 6 million new buyers.Today, it trades for 33 times forward earnings estimates. That's down from more than 60 earlier this year. Considering Etsy's strength in revenue and the loyalty of its shoppers, future prospects look good. And that's why today's price is a real bargain.4. Intuitive SurgicalIntuitive Surgical  is the global leader in robotic surgery -- by far. The company holds nearly 80% of the market, according to BIS Research. And this leadership is likely to continue for two reasons.First, surgical robots cost more than $1 million. So once a hospital has made this sort of investment, it's likely to stick with it. Second, most surgeons are trained on Intuitive's flagship da Vinci system. It's unlikely they'll want to switch to an entirely new system from one they know well.What else to like about Intuitive? Its revenue model doesn't depend only on the sales of these robots. Intuitive also has a source of recurrent revenue. And this revenue actually surpasses that of robot sales. I'm talking about sales of the instruments and accessories that surgeons need for each procedure.Intuitive's recent share performance doesn't reflect this great business model. This year, the stock is heading for a 23% decline. The company suffered on and off during the pandemic as hospitals postponed surgeries. That meant hospitals didn't have to invest in instruments right away. They also didn't focus on buying new robotic systems.Today, Intuitive trades at 58 times forward earnings estimates. That's compared with more than 72 earlier this year. Considering the long-term leadership picture, now is time to load up on this healthcare player.5. Home DepotHome Depot's (HD) earnings have defied the bear market. But its stock performance hasn't. The shares are heading for a 21% drop this year. And the shares are a screaming buy at less than 20 times forward earnings estimates.The world's biggest home-improvement retailer says demand has remained strong in both its do-it-yourself (DIY) business and professional business. Importantly, the pros say their project backlogs are strong. This suggests they will continue to shop at Home Depot in the coming months as they launch these new projects. And that's great news for Home Depot's revenue.The pro market totals $450 billion, offering Home Depot room for growth. The company is making efforts to keep these customers and its DIY shoppers loyal.For example, it's adding new features to its app to streamline the shopping experience. The efforts are working. The company has seen double-digit growth all year in monthly active users. That's compared with last year.And in the most recent quarter, 11 of the 14 merchandising areas posted positive comparable sales. All of this means there's reason to be optimistic about Home Depot's future earnings. And earnings growth could translate into major share gains. So, now, before 2023, is the perfect time to add this winning player to your portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":555,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9967001033,"gmtCreate":1670218461722,"gmtModify":1676538323085,"author":{"id":"4101119886251660","authorId":"4101119886251660","name":"Ystar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101119886251660","authorIdStr":"4101119886251660"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks","listText":"Thanks","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9967001033","repostId":"1146639925","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1146639925","pubTimestamp":1670208180,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1146639925?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-05 10:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microsoft Stock: Investor Fears Are Overblown, Says Morgan Stanley","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1146639925","media":"TipRanks","summary":"2022 has been tough going for most.

The well-known headwinds of unabating high inflation, the measures taken to tame it amidst fears of a full-blown recession have seen even the sturdiest of models come under pressure.Most have fallen victim to the macro whims, including tech giant Microsoft (MSFT), whose recent September quarter results (F1Q23) were a disappointing affair.So, where to now? Morgan Stanley analyst Keith Weiss believes investor concerns center around two main issues – margins and revenue growth.For the former, the bigger-than-anticipated FQ2 operating expense guide suggests the company is reluctant to slash expenses so to “better protect” operating margins. While for the latter, considering the Commercial segment grew 22% cc (constant currency) in FQ1, a revenue outlook of “durable” 20% cc Commercial growth that does not seem to be “de-risked.”“From our perspective,” says the 5-star analyst, “the two investor concerns go hand in hand. The company still sees a strong (and durable) demand signal around these secular growth opportunities, especially within the Commercial business, which requires continued investments to yield.”Microsoft wants to maintain current investments so to gain market share, win a larger share of IT budgets as businesses look to consolidate vendors, and maintain strategic long-term positioning rather than cut more drastically to maximize near-term profitability. This is due to its strong competitive positioning in advance of significant secular growth opportunities.“We largely agree with the strategy here,” opines Weiss, “as the strength of Microsoft’s positioning across key secular growth segments remains unchanged. Mix shift toward faster growing Azure and Dynamics 365 and relatively durable Office 365 growth (in constant currency) help support management’s goal of 20% constant currency growth across its Commercial businesses.”As such, Weiss, stays “confident in the long-term secular growth story,” and believes that given its positioning, the stock is “relatively under valued” compared to peers.All told, then, the analyst sticks with an Overweight (i.e., Buy) rating backed by a $307 price target. The implication for investors? Upside of 28% from current levels.Most on the Street agree; with 26 Buys against 3 Holds, the stock receives a Strong Buy consensus rating. The forecast calls for one-year gains of ~17%, given the average target stands at $295.38.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":358,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9965929965,"gmtCreate":1669876017758,"gmtModify":1676538261756,"author":{"id":"4101119886251660","authorId":"4101119886251660","name":"Ystar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101119886251660","authorIdStr":"4101119886251660"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9965929965","repostId":"2288614132","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":282,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9968754252,"gmtCreate":1669336315477,"gmtModify":1676538184330,"author":{"id":"4101119886251660","authorId":"4101119886251660","name":"Ystar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101119886251660","authorIdStr":"4101119886251660"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9968754252","repostId":"1184446148","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1184446148","pubTimestamp":1669303814,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1184446148?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-24 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Big Reasons To Love Apple Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1184446148","media":"TheStreet","summary":"Let’s take a step back from the news of the day: why is AAPL a great stock to own?

It contrasts a company’s earnings (numerator) against the cash raised from debt and equity investors (denominator). Think of the formula:</p><p>ROIC = NOPAT ÷ Invested Capital, in which:</p><ul><li>NOPAT is the net operating profit after tax, a similar concept to net income</li><li>Invested capital is largely equity plus debt investments minus cash</li></ul><p>The higher the ROIC, the better. It means that the company is able to “deliver more with less”: lots of profits with relatively small quantities of capital invested into the firm.</p><p>Companies in a good competitive position whose wide moat protects the business model well tend to have high ROIC. On the other hand, cut-throat competition that chips away at a company’s profits and margins tends to lead to low ROIC.</p><p>Apple’s ROIC hovered around 35% in 2010, within three years following the launch of the iPhone and the iPad. That’s really not a bad number at all, considering Apple’s weighted cost of capital that is probably short of 10%.</p><p>But since then, Apple’s ROIC has skyrocketed (see below). Today, the number is a staggering 56%. Relative to the investment that debtholders and equity holders have placed into the company, Apple is a massive profit-producing machine.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fbc66682044c0970e857a65b8974a103\" tg-width=\"1178\" tg-height=\"336\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Figure 2: AAPL&#39;s ROIC.</span></p><p>There are two main reasons why Apple has been able to increase its ROIC, especially in the past five years. First, profits (the numerator) have increased as (1) the 5G-capable iPhone models became a hit among consumers, (2) Apple was able to maintain pricing power, and (3) margins improved with the growth of the services segment.</p><p>Second, investments in the company (the denominator) have decreased sharply, mostly due to Apple’s aggressive strategy of buying back shares since 2012(more on this below).</p><h2>AAPL Reason #2: Highly Efficient</h2><p>Although services represent a sizable 20% of total sales, Apple is still primarily a consumer products vendor. Companies like it live and die by how tightly it manages working capital – that is, receivables and inventory on the asset side, payables on the liability side.</p><p>The less cash a company ties up in receivables and inventory, and the longer it takes a company to pay its own vendors, the better. Introducing the concept of cash conversion cycle: the time it takes a company to convert cash into inventory, and then back into cash via sales.</p><p>On working capital management, Apple stands out. According to Finbox, Apple’s cash conversion cycle is -62 days – yes, a negative number. It effectively means that Apple does not tie up cash in operations at all: instead, operations are financed by Apple’s vendors.</p><p>The Cupertino giant is one of the few tech companies in the world that can pull this off.</p><h2>AAPL Reason #3: Shareholder Friendly</h2><p>One of the reasons why Apple has been able to increase its ROIC drastically (see #1 reason above) is due to share buybacks. Cash return to shareholders alone, in fact, is a great incentive to own Apple stock.</p><p>The chart below shows how Apple has been aggressive at buying its own shares since 2012 – shortly after CEO Tim Cook took over from legendary founder Steve Jobs. From 26 billion shares outstanding in 2013, the count has been cut by nearly half now.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/edc0fe435dfa3b213c100c70c5fed531\" tg-width=\"1186\" tg-height=\"339\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Figure 3: AAPL&#39;s diluted shares.</span></p><p>The benefits have been twofold. First, fewer shares outstanding mean that net income is distributed across fewer shareholder units. As a result, earnings per share, a metric closely tracked by investors and analysts, have increased.</p><p>Second, Apple’s stock buyback program allows the company to be an ever-present bullish force in the market. Even when other investors turn sour on Apple stock, at least the Cupertino company can be there to create demand for its own shares.</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>3 Big Reasons To Love Apple Stock</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 Big Reasons To Love Apple Stock\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-24 23:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.thestreet.com/apple/stock/3-big-reasons-to-love-apple-stock><strong>TheStreet</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Let’s take a step back from the news of the day: why is AAPL a great stock to own?

First, profits (the numerator) have increased as (1) the 5G-capable iPhone models became a hit among consumers, (2) Apple was able to maintain pricing power, and (3) margins improved with the growth of the services segment.Second, investments in the company (the denominator) have decreased sharply, mostly due to Apple’s aggressive strategy of buying back shares since 2012(more on this below).AAPL Reason #2: Highly EfficientAlthough services represent a sizable 20% of total sales, Apple is still primarily a consumer products vendor. Companies like it live and die by how tightly it manages working capital – that is, receivables and inventory on the asset side, payables on the liability side.The less cash a company ties up in receivables and inventory, and the longer it takes a company to pay its own vendors, the better. Introducing the concept of cash conversion cycle: the time it takes a company to convert cash into inventory, and then back into cash via sales.On working capital management, Apple stands out. According to Finbox, Apple’s cash conversion cycle is -62 days – yes, a negative number. It effectively means that Apple does not tie up cash in operations at all: instead, operations are financed by Apple’s vendors.The Cupertino giant is one of the few tech companies in the world that can pull this off.AAPL Reason #3: Shareholder FriendlyOne of the reasons why Apple has been able to increase its ROIC drastically (see #1 reason above) is due to share buybacks. Cash return to shareholders alone, in fact, is a great incentive to own Apple stock.The chart below shows how Apple has been aggressive at buying its own shares since 2012 – shortly after CEO Tim Cook took over from legendary founder Steve Jobs. From 26 billion shares outstanding in 2013, the count has been cut by nearly half now.Figure 3: AAPL's diluted shares.The benefits have been twofold. First, fewer shares outstanding mean that net income is distributed across fewer shareholder units. As a result, earnings per share, a metric closely tracked by investors and analysts, have increased.Second, Apple’s stock buyback program allows the company to be an ever-present bullish force in the market. Even when other investors turn sour on Apple stock, at least the Cupertino company can be there to create demand for its own shares.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":180,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9968755470,"gmtCreate":1669336245190,"gmtModify":1676538184212,"author":{"id":"4101119886251660","authorId":"4101119886251660","name":"Ystar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101119886251660","authorIdStr":"4101119886251660"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks","listText":"Thanks","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9968755470","repostId":"2286343743","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2286343743","pubTimestamp":1669359955,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2286343743?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-25 15:05","market":"other","language":"en","title":"3 Cryptos to Avoid No Matter What","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2286343743","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The future looks bleak for these cryptocurrencies.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The bankruptcy of FTX and rapid drop in the <b>FTX Token</b> has caused a lot of investors to rethink the value in these cryptocurrencies.

Tesla needed shareholders to sign off on issuing the new shares to complete the split.

And Microsoft appears very cheap when compared to the S&amp;P 500. But on an absolute basis, what could be a fair per-share value for the company&#39;s stock? To answer the question, I have constructed a Residual Earnings framework and anchor on the following assumptions:</p><ul><li>To forecast revenues and EPS, I anchor on consensus analyst forecast as available on the Bloomberg Terminal.</li><li>The estimate of the cost of capital, I use the WACC framework. I model a three-year regression against the S&amp;P to find the stock&#39;s beta. For the risk-free rate, I used the U.S. 10-year treasury yield as of June 24, 2022. My calculation indicates a fair WACC of 7.5%.</li><li>To derive MSFT&#39;s tax rate, I extrapolate the 3-year average effective tax rate from 2019, 2020 and 2021.</li><li>For the terminal growth rate, I apply expected nominal GDP growth at 3.5%. Although I think that growth equal to the estimated nominal long-term GDP growth is strongly understating MSFT&#39;s potential, especially as the company is spending 20% of revenues in R&amp;D, I want to be conservative in my valuation.</li><li>I do not model any share buyback - further supporting a conservative valuation.</li></ul><p>Based on the above assumptions, my calculation returns a base-case target price for MSFT of $368.64/share, implying material upside of about 40%.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1ae4d1d78242c71005f8f3d688cc275f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"224\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Analyst Consensus EPS; Author&#39;s Calculations</p><p>I understand that investors might have different assumptions with regards to MSFT&#39;s required return and terminal business growth. Thus, I also enclose a sensitivity table to test varying assumptions. For reference, red cells imply an overvaluation as compared to the current market price, and green cells imply an undervaluation. The risk/reward looks highly favorable to me.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f4b70197be750c400b1774c1f7a49095\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"154\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Analyst Consensus EPS; Author&#39;s Calculations</p><p>My base-case target price for MSFT stock is broadly in line with analyst consensus. Analysts see the stock&#39;s fair price at around $357.85/share.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2830c52d7f5392507fb4583a928ebfa4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"201\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><h2><b>Risks</b></h2><p>I would like to highlight the following downside risks that could cause MSFT stock to materially differ from my price target of 368.64/share:</p><p>First, a worsening macro-environment including inflation and supply-chain challenges could negatively impact MSFT&#39;s customer base, both enterprise and consumer. If challenges turn out to be more severe and/or last longer than expected, the company&#39;s financial outlook should be adjusted accordingly.</p><p>Second, investors should monitor competitive forces in the cloud industry. Although I highlighted the difference between TikTok and MSFT from a value-proposition perspective, I also highlighted that the company is competing for advertising spending. Thus, if competition increases more than what is modelled by analysts, profitability margins and EPS estimates for MSFT web must be adjusted accordingly.</p><p>Third, much of MSFT&#39;s current share price volatility is currently driven by investor sentiment towards risk and growth assets. Thus, investors should expect price volatility even though MSFT&#39;s business outlook remains unchanged. In addition, inflation and rising-real yields could add significant headwinds to MSFT&#39;s stock price, as the higher discount rates affect the net present value of long-dated cash flows.</p><p>Fourth, Microsoft&#39;s size and scale are too difficult to ignore for anti-trust officials. While the company has managed to defend past lawsuits in the EU and the U.S., the anti-competition allegations against Microsoft could accelerate and either force the company to spin-off units and/or slow market expansion.</p><p>Finally, Microsoft is a consensus buy on Wall Street. Thus, the company&#39;s share price is vulnerable to downside disappointment.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>Judged merely by the MSFT&#39;s P/E multiple of approximately x25, Microsoft stock appears expensive in relation to the company&#39;s FAAMG peers and very expensive in relation to the S&amp;P 500. However, if we add to the P/E multiple growth expectations, the picture reverses: MSFT stock is very cheap in relation to the S&amp;P 500 and cheap in relation to FAAMG - only second to Google.</p><p>From a business model perspective, Microsoft&#39;s potential is arguably unmatched. The company operates the world&#39;s leading cloud business with high-margin PaaS offerings being 47% of cloud sales, vs 53% for IaaS. Moreover, if we consider the Metaverse, Microsoft is the only player with leading exposure to infrastructure, software and content. Based on a residual earnings framework anchored on analyst EPS estimates, I calculate a fair implied share price of $368.64/share. Thus, in my opinion, MSFT is a confident buy at &lt;$280/share. Very bullish.</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>Microsoft: Ignore The P/E, Or You Miss A Bargain</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\">\nMicrosoft: Ignore The P/E, Or You Miss A Bargain\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-30 17:10 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4520935-microsoft-ignore-the-pe-or-you-miss-a-bargain><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>ThesisMicrosoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock is down approximately to 20% YTD, in line with the broad market (Reference: S&P 500).

Although I think that growth equal to the estimated nominal long-term GDP growth is strongly understating MSFT's potential, especially as the company is spending 20% of revenues in R&D, I want to be conservative in my valuation.I do not model any share buyback - further supporting a conservative valuation.Based on the above assumptions, my calculation returns a base-case target price for MSFT of $368.64/share, implying material upside of about 40%.Analyst Consensus EPS; Author's CalculationsI understand that investors might have different assumptions with regards to MSFT's required return and terminal business growth. Thus, I also enclose a sensitivity table to test varying assumptions. For reference, red cells imply an overvaluation as compared to the current market price, and green cells imply an undervaluation. The risk/reward looks highly favorable to me.Analyst Consensus EPS; Author's CalculationsMy base-case target price for MSFT stock is broadly in line with analyst consensus. Analysts see the stock's fair price at around $357.85/share.Seeking AlphaRisksI would like to highlight the following downside risks that could cause MSFT stock to materially differ from my price target of 368.64/share:First, a worsening macro-environment including inflation and supply-chain challenges could negatively impact MSFT's customer base, both enterprise and consumer. If challenges turn out to be more severe and/or last longer than expected, the company's financial outlook should be adjusted accordingly.Second, investors should monitor competitive forces in the cloud industry. Although I highlighted the difference between TikTok and MSFT from a value-proposition perspective, I also highlighted that the company is competing for advertising spending. Thus, if competition increases more than what is modelled by analysts, profitability margins and EPS estimates for MSFT web must be adjusted accordingly.Third, much of MSFT's current share price volatility is currently driven by investor sentiment towards risk and growth assets. Thus, investors should expect price volatility even though MSFT's business outlook remains unchanged. In addition, inflation and rising-real yields could add significant headwinds to MSFT's stock price, as the higher discount rates affect the net present value of long-dated cash flows.Fourth, Microsoft's size and scale are too difficult to ignore for anti-trust officials. While the company has managed to defend past lawsuits in the EU and the U.S., the anti-competition allegations against Microsoft could accelerate and either force the company to spin-off units and/or slow market expansion.Finally, Microsoft is a consensus buy on Wall Street. Thus, the company's share price is vulnerable to downside disappointment.ConclusionJudged merely by the MSFT's P/E multiple of approximately x25, Microsoft stock appears expensive in relation to the company's FAAMG peers and very expensive in relation to the S&P 500. However, if we add to the P/E multiple growth expectations, the picture reverses: MSFT stock is very cheap in relation to the S&P 500 and cheap in relation to FAAMG - only second to Google.From a business model perspective, Microsoft's potential is arguably unmatched. The company operates the world's leading cloud business with high-margin PaaS offerings being 47% of cloud sales, vs 53% for IaaS. Moreover, if we consider the Metaverse, Microsoft is the only player with leading exposure to infrastructure, software and content. Based on a residual earnings framework anchored on analyst EPS estimates, I calculate a fair implied share price of $368.64/share. Thus, in my opinion, MSFT is a confident buy at <$280/share. Very bullish.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":216,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9967008820,"gmtCreate":1670218660361,"gmtModify":1676538323123,"author":{"id":"4101119886251660","authorId":"4101119886251660","name":"Ystar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101119886251660","authorIdStr":"4101119886251660"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9967008820","repostId":"2288946354","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2288946354","pubTimestamp":1670206384,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2288946354?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-05 10:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Monster Stocks to Buy Before 2023","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2288946354","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These companies offer solid buying opportunities right now.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The bear market may not feel like a great time for investing.

Let&#39;s check out five monster stocks to buy before 2023.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a></h2><p><b>Amazon</b> (AMZN) has had a tough year. The e-commerce and cloud computing giant has reported quarter after quarter of declines in operating income. And free cash flow has even shifted to an outflow. That&#39;s as higher inflation increased Amazon&#39;s costs and weighed on the wallets of its customers.</p><p>Things don&#39;t look great for the company right now.

That, too, is another great sign for the future.</p><p>Amazon trades for its cheapest in relation to sales since 2015. Through a long-term lens, the stock looks dirt cheap.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DIS\">Disney</a></h2><p><b>Disney</b> (DIS) has reached a big turning point. The entertainment giant has reported growth in its parks, experiences, and products business. And it&#39;s made great progress in signing on members to its streaming services -- adding 57 million this year. But Disney is struggling with higher costs. And its shares have tumbled 36% this year.</p><p>But here&#39;s the good news. Disney recently brought back longtime Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger. He&#39;s the one responsible for successes like the purchases of Pixar and Marvel. He is also the CEO behind the blockbuster film <i>Frozen</i>.</p><p>Iger proved himself when it comes to general growth at Disney. During his tenure, market value, revenue, and profit climbed in the triple digits. All of this means he is probably the best person to put Disney back on the right track.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b17c5eb0a02b001f785d54ec60be4b0\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>DIS Market Cap data by YCharts</p><p>The strength in the parks business is another bright spot. That business&#39; revenue rose 73% in the recently ended fiscal year. And parks, experiences, and products traditionally has contributed the most to the company&#39;s total revenue.</p><p>Today, Disney trades for about half of what it was trading for earlier this year -- that&#39;s in relation to forward earnings estimates. So now is time to get in on this recovery story.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c96ed2ef42b4e17257e5d9a6bb65cec4\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>DIS PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts</p><h2>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ETSY\">Etsy</a></h2><p><b>Etsy</b> (ETSY) soared during the early days of the pandemic, when people opted for online shopping over in-store visits. The company is a platform connecting sellers of handmade items with buyers.</p><p>Since then, Etsy&#39;s growth has slowed. And the shares are heading for a 36% loss this year. That said, the company is weathering the economic storm better than most retailers. Sellers are small businesses, so elements like supply chain issues and inventory woes are less of a problem.</p><p>Etsy actually managed to grow its marketplace gross merchandise sales (GMS) 0.2% in the third quarter. That&#39;s excluding the impact of currency exchanges. And if we compare it with the pre-pandemic third quarter of 2019, GMS jumped 134%.</p><p>The company also has done a great job of growing its audience -- and keeping shoppers loyal. Habitual buyers made up 46% of GMS in the quarter. And Etsy brought in 6 million new buyers.</p><p>Today, it trades for 33 times forward earnings estimates. That&#39;s down from more than 60 earlier this year. Considering Etsy&#39;s strength in revenue and the loyalty of its shoppers, future prospects look good. And that&#39;s why today&#39;s price is a real bargain.</p><h2>4. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ISRG\">Intuitive Surgical</a></h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ISRG\">Intuitive Surgical </a> is the global leader in robotic surgery -- by far. The company holds nearly 80% of the market, according to BIS Research. And this leadership is likely to continue for two reasons.</p><p>First, surgical robots cost more than $1 million. So once a hospital has made this sort of investment, it&#39;s likely to stick with it. Second, most surgeons are trained on Intuitive&#39;s flagship da Vinci system. It&#39;s unlikely they&#39;ll want to switch to an entirely new system from one they know well.</p><p>What else to like about Intuitive? Its revenue model doesn&#39;t depend only on the sales of these robots. Intuitive also has a source of recurrent revenue. And this revenue actually surpasses that of robot sales. I&#39;m talking about sales of the instruments and accessories that surgeons need for each procedure.</p><p>Intuitive&#39;s recent share performance doesn&#39;t reflect this great business model. This year, the stock is heading for a 23% decline. The company suffered on and off during the pandemic as hospitals postponed surgeries. That meant hospitals didn&#39;t have to invest in instruments right away. They also didn&#39;t focus on buying new robotic systems.</p><p>Today, Intuitive trades at 58 times forward earnings estimates. That&#39;s compared with more than 72 earlier this year. Considering the long-term leadership picture, now is time to load up on this healthcare player.</p><h2>5. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HD\">Home Depot</a></h2><p><b>Home Depot</b>&#39;s (HD) earnings have defied the bear market. But its stock performance hasn&#39;t. The shares are heading for a 21% drop this year. And the shares are a screaming buy at less than 20 times forward earnings estimates.</p><p>The world&#39;s biggest home-improvement retailer says demand has remained strong in both its do-it-yourself (DIY) business and professional business. Importantly, the pros say their project backlogs are strong. This suggests they will continue to shop at Home Depot in the coming months as they launch these new projects. And that&#39;s great news for Home Depot&#39;s revenue.</p><p>The pro market totals $450 billion, offering Home Depot room for growth. The company is making efforts to keep these customers and its DIY shoppers loyal.</p><p>For example, it&#39;s adding new features to its app to streamline the shopping experience. The efforts are working. The company has seen double-digit growth all year in monthly active users. That&#39;s compared with last year.</p><p>And in the most recent quarter, 11 of the 14 merchandising areas posted positive comparable sales. All of this means there&#39;s reason to be optimistic about Home Depot&#39;s future earnings. And earnings growth could translate into major share gains. So, now, before 2023, is the perfect time to add this winning player to your portfolio.</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>5 Monster Stocks to Buy Before 2023</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\">\n5 Monster Stocks to Buy Before 2023\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-12-05 10:13 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/12/03/5-monster-stocks-to-buy-before-2023/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The bear market may not feel like a great time for investing.

Tesla needed shareholders to sign off on issuing the new shares to complete the split.

Several of the nonbinding proposals dealt with employment issues, from corporate efforts to prevent harassment and discrimination to how mandatory arbitration affects Tesla&#39;s employees and workplace culture.

Forget timing the bottom; that&#39;s a fool&#39;s errand. Incrementally buying during those down times was ridiculously profitable.</p><p>What&#39;s the lesson? Strategize long-term, dollar-cost average, and stick with fantastic companies. <b>Alphabet</b>,<b>The Trade Desk</b>, <b>Skyworks Solutions</b>, <b>Amazon</b>, and <b>Disney</b> are down more than 20% year to date (YTD) and worthy of hefty consideration.</p><h2>1. Alphabet looks like a bargain</h2><p>When a company&#39;s primary revenue driver is so popular that it becomes a verb, that&#39;s a pretty impressive sign. You might have even &#34;Googled&#34; to find The Motley Fool. With Alphabet&#39;s stock down nearly 23% this year, it&#39;s time for investors to sit up and take notice.</p><p>Alphabet has several profit and growth drivers. Its core Google Search service is a must for advertisers, giving it incredible pricing power. YouTube capitalizes on streaming growth, and Google Cloud is growing against tough competition.</p><p>Google&#39;s advertising business, which includes Google Search, YouTube, and Google Network, has increased sales from $95 billion to $111 billion year over year through the first half of 2022 against a challenging economic backdrop. Total operating income rose to $39.5 billion from $35.8 billion, even as management grappled with inflation and cutbacks in many advertising budgets. Increasing sales in the face of headwinds show the power of Alphabet&#39;s market stronghold.</p><p>Google Cloud competes with <b>Microsoft</b> Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the cloud market. Sales have grown nearly 40% this year, but the segment isn&#39;t profitable yet. Google Cloud is a fantastic opportunity for Alphabet to diversify its profit drivers if management can successfully scale to profitability.</p><p>Alphabet is trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 21, or more than 12% lower than it traded at the start of 2019, making the stock compelling.</p><h2>2. The Trade Desk capitalizes on a massive shift</h2><p>While Alphabet has the market cornered in search advertising, The Trade Desk is making things happen in streaming. The Trade Desk offers advertisers a comprehensive platform enabling targeted advertising across several mediums, including the coveted connected television (CTV) market.</p><p>CTV refers to any content accessed through the internet, such as watching <b>Netflix</b> or Disney+ on a smart TV or using <b>Roku</b> or similar devices. It&#39;s easy to see why this market is the new must-have for advertisers.</p><p>The Trade Desk stock is down more than 25% this year after getting caught up in the growth stock euphoria in 2021. But its results are terrific. Revenue reached $1.2 billion in fiscal 2021, marking a 43% increase over the $836 million prior year.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0333f709aec1a22406c2ba6504199d65\" tg-width=\"989\" tg-height=\"418\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>DATA SOURCE: THE TRADE DESK. CHART BY AUTHOR.</span></p><p>The Trade Desk separates itself from other growth stocks by producing generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) profits to the tune of $138 million in fiscal 2021, along with $379 million in cash from operations -- an impressive 32% margin.</p><p>The Trade Desk has momentum, opportunity, and execution, and the stock is now trading near its pre-pandemic price-to-sales (P/S) ratio. This could be the time to accumulate shares for the long term.</p><h2>3. Only one segment matters for Amazon&#39;s future</h2><p>Amazon stock is down 25% this year as investors fret over rising costs, logistical headaches, and labor shortages which have crushed profits in retail. But Amazon&#39;s future is not in online retail sales. Its future is AWS, the world&#39;s leading cloud services provider, and business here is booming. AWS accounts for all of the company&#39;s operating income and a significant portion of sales growth this year.</p><p>AWS sales reached a record $62.2 billion in 2021 and $72.1 billion over the past 12 months. What&#39;s better? AWS has an operating margin of over 30%. Amazon also has a burgeoning digital advertising revenue stream that made $31.2 billion in 2021 and grew 18% last quarter. While some agonize over short-term losses in retail, long-term investors can buy the stock at a discount knowing that AWS (with an advertising cherry on top) will power profits for years to come.</p><h2>4. Skyworks enables our increasingly connected world</h2><p>Have you been to a big-box store recently and seen these new smart refrigerators? Or maybe you&#39;re on the cutting edge and already own one. This is a whimsical example of what&#39;s known as the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT includes devices from cars to hearing aids. The future of our world is connected, and the semiconductors (chips) made by Skyworks are at the forefront.</p><p>Skyworks&#39; chips are also used in conventional applications like smartphones, tablets, automobiles, and gaming platforms. The sluggish demand and expected economic slowdown have caused shares to drop more than 35% year to date. Despite the headwinds, the company increased the dividend by 11% last quarter. The forward yield is now close to 2.5% -- historically high for Skyworks. Revenue for third-quarter fiscal 2022 reached $1.2 billion on double-digit growth, and management guided for continued growth above 10% in the fiscal fourth quarter.</p><p>Chip stocks have been hit hard, but incrementally purchasing Skyworks now could pay handsomely in the future. In the meantime, investors can enjoy the yield.</p><h2>5. Don&#39;t doubt the mouse</h2><p>Disney has had a tough few years with the pandemic closing or limiting attendance, followed by inflation and fears of a recession. But the company has something up its sleeve: Pricing power. Recent articles show pricing at Disney parks rising much faster than inflation over many years. How can Disney do this? Because it has a unique product that people love and other companies can&#39;t replicate.</p><p>The stock is down about 28% this year because Wall Street is anticipating that the economy will take its toll on earnings. And they are probably right. But we don&#39;t beat the market investing for right now; we outpace the market by anticipating where a company will be in the future.</p><p>Disney has several profit drivers for the future. First, the parks are a unique experience that has been a rite of passage for generations. Revenue in this segment is up 92% so far this fiscal year, reaching $21.3 billion through three quarters. Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ streaming services are adding subscribers at a tremendous pace -- 14.4 million were added last quarter alone. In addition, the company believes it can capitalize on the sports betting craze with ESPN.</p><p>Some investors run for the exits when the market goes on sale. Others use a disciplined strategy to purchase great companies at a discount. If you are in the latter category, consider the terrific companies above.</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>5 Struggling Stocks to Buy at a Discount</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\">\n5 Struggling Stocks to Buy at a Discount\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-19 15:10 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/18/5-struggling-stocks-to-buy-at-a-discount/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSMoney can be made in bull markets, but fortunes are made in bear markets.So goes the Wall Street adage that's been proven right time and again.Long-term investors should focus on five years ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/18/5-struggling-stocks-to-buy-at-a-discount/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"DIS":"迪士尼","GOOG":"谷歌","AMZN":"亚马逊","TTD":"Trade Desk Inc.","GOOGL":"谷歌A","SWKS":"思佳讯"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/18/5-struggling-stocks-to-buy-at-a-discount/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1102128091","content_text":"KEY POINTSMoney can be made in bull markets, but fortunes are made in bear markets.So goes the Wall Street adage that's been proven right time and again.Long-term investors should focus on five years down the road -- not five weeks or months.Looking back at investing articles from 2009 and 2020, the worst years for stocks of the Great Recession and the pandemic, the fear in the market was palpable.

With Alphabet's stock down nearly 23% this year, it's time for investors to sit up and take notice.Alphabet has several profit and growth drivers. Its core Google Search service is a must for advertisers, giving it incredible pricing power. YouTube capitalizes on streaming growth, and Google Cloud is growing against tough competition.Google's advertising business, which includes Google Search, YouTube, and Google Network, has increased sales from $95 billion to $111 billion year over year through the first half of 2022 against a challenging economic backdrop. Total operating income rose to $39.5 billion from $35.8 billion, even as management grappled with inflation and cutbacks in many advertising budgets. Increasing sales in the face of headwinds show the power of Alphabet's market stronghold.Google Cloud competes with Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the cloud market. Sales have grown nearly 40% this year, but the segment isn't profitable yet. Google Cloud is a fantastic opportunity for Alphabet to diversify its profit drivers if management can successfully scale to profitability.Alphabet is trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 21, or more than 12% lower than it traded at the start of 2019, making the stock compelling.2. The Trade Desk capitalizes on a massive shiftWhile Alphabet has the market cornered in search advertising, The Trade Desk is making things happen in streaming. The Trade Desk offers advertisers a comprehensive platform enabling targeted advertising across several mediums, including the coveted connected television (CTV) market.CTV refers to any content accessed through the internet, such as watching Netflix or Disney+ on a smart TV or using Roku or similar devices. It's easy to see why this market is the new must-have for advertisers.The Trade Desk stock is down more than 25% this year after getting caught up in the growth stock euphoria in 2021. But its results are terrific. Revenue reached $1.2 billion in fiscal 2021, marking a 43% increase over the $836 million prior year.DATA SOURCE: THE TRADE DESK. CHART BY AUTHOR.The Trade Desk separates itself from other growth stocks by producing generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) profits to the tune of $138 million in fiscal 2021, along with $379 million in cash from operations -- an impressive 32% margin.The Trade Desk has momentum, opportunity, and execution, and the stock is now trading near its pre-pandemic price-to-sales (P/S) ratio. This could be the time to accumulate shares for the long term.3. Only one segment matters for Amazon's futureAmazon stock is down 25% this year as investors fret over rising costs, logistical headaches, and labor shortages which have crushed profits in retail. But Amazon's future is not in online retail sales. Its future is AWS, the world's leading cloud services provider, and business here is booming. AWS accounts for all of the company's operating income and a significant portion of sales growth this year.AWS sales reached a record $62.2 billion in 2021 and $72.1 billion over the past 12 months. What's better? AWS has an operating margin of over 30%. Amazon also has a burgeoning digital advertising revenue stream that made $31.2 billion in 2021 and grew 18% last quarter. While some agonize over short-term losses in retail, long-term investors can buy the stock at a discount knowing that AWS (with an advertising cherry on top) will power profits for years to come.4. Skyworks enables our increasingly connected worldHave you been to a big-box store recently and seen these new smart refrigerators? Or maybe you're on the cutting edge and already own one. This is a whimsical example of what's known as the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT includes devices from cars to hearing aids. The future of our world is connected, and the semiconductors (chips) made by Skyworks are at the forefront.Skyworks' chips are also used in conventional applications like smartphones, tablets, automobiles, and gaming platforms. The sluggish demand and expected economic slowdown have caused shares to drop more than 35% year to date. Despite the headwinds, the company increased the dividend by 11% last quarter. The forward yield is now close to 2.5% -- historically high for Skyworks. Revenue for third-quarter fiscal 2022 reached $1.2 billion on double-digit growth, and management guided for continued growth above 10% in the fiscal fourth quarter.Chip stocks have been hit hard, but incrementally purchasing Skyworks now could pay handsomely in the future. In the meantime, investors can enjoy the yield.5. Don't doubt the mouseDisney has had a tough few years with the pandemic closing or limiting attendance, followed by inflation and fears of a recession. But the company has something up its sleeve: Pricing power. Recent articles show pricing at Disney parks rising much faster than inflation over many years. How can Disney do this? Because it has a unique product that people love and other companies can't replicate.The stock is down about 28% this year because Wall Street is anticipating that the economy will take its toll on earnings. And they are probably right. But we don't beat the market investing for right now; we outpace the market by anticipating where a company will be in the future.Disney has several profit drivers for the future. First, the parks are a unique experience that has been a rite of passage for generations. Revenue in this segment is up 92% so far this fiscal year, reaching $21.3 billion through three quarters. Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ streaming services are adding subscribers at a tremendous pace -- 14.4 million were added last quarter alone. In addition, the company believes it can capitalize on the sports betting craze with ESPN.Some investors run for the exits when the market goes on sale. Others use a disciplined strategy to purchase great companies at a discount. If you are in the latter category, consider the terrific companies above.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":316,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9045142273,"gmtCreate":1656585969792,"gmtModify":1676535858338,"author":{"id":"4101119886251660","authorId":"4101119886251660","name":"Ystar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101119886251660","authorIdStr":"4101119886251660"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9045142273","repostId":"2247024065","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2247024065","pubTimestamp":1656580219,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2247024065?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-30 17:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microsoft: Ignore The P/E, Or You Miss A Bargain","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2247024065","media":"Seekingalpha","summary":"ThesisMicrosoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock is down approximately to 20% YTD, in line with the b","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2><b>Thesis</b></h2><p>Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock is down approximately to 20% YTD, in line with the broad market (Reference: S&amp;P 500).

If challenges turn out to be more severe and/or last longer than expected, the company&#39;s financial outlook should be adjusted accordingly.</p><p>Second, investors should monitor competitive forces in the cloud industry. Although I highlighted the difference between TikTok and MSFT from a value-proposition perspective, I also highlighted that the company is competing for advertising spending. Thus, if competition increases more than what is modelled by analysts, profitability margins and EPS estimates for MSFT web must be adjusted accordingly.</p><p>Third, much of MSFT&#39;s current share price volatility is currently driven by investor sentiment towards risk and growth assets. Thus, investors should expect price volatility even though MSFT&#39;s business outlook remains unchanged. In addition, inflation and rising-real yields could add significant headwinds to MSFT&#39;s stock price, as the higher discount rates affect the net present value of long-dated cash flows.</p><p>Fourth, Microsoft&#39;s size and scale are too difficult to ignore for anti-trust officials. While the company has managed to defend past lawsuits in the EU and the U.S., the anti-competition allegations against Microsoft could accelerate and either force the company to spin-off units and/or slow market expansion.</p><p>Finally, Microsoft is a consensus buy on Wall Street. Thus, the company&#39;s share price is vulnerable to downside disappointment.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>Judged merely by the MSFT&#39;s P/E multiple of approximately x25, Microsoft stock appears expensive in relation to the company&#39;s FAAMG peers and very expensive in relation to the S&amp;P 500. However, if we add to the P/E multiple growth expectations, the picture reverses: MSFT stock is very cheap in relation to the S&amp;P 500 and cheap in relation to FAAMG - only second to Google.</p><p>From a business model perspective, Microsoft&#39;s potential is arguably unmatched. The company operates the world&#39;s leading cloud business with high-margin PaaS offerings being 47% of cloud sales, vs 53% for IaaS. Moreover, if we consider the Metaverse, Microsoft is the only player with leading exposure to infrastructure, software and content. Based on a residual earnings framework anchored on analyst EPS estimates, I calculate a fair implied share price of $368.64/share. Thus, in my opinion, MSFT is a confident buy at &lt;$280/share. Very bullish.</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>Microsoft: Ignore The P/E, Or You Miss A Bargain</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\">\nMicrosoft: Ignore The P/E, Or You Miss A Bargain\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-30 17:10 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4520935-microsoft-ignore-the-pe-or-you-miss-a-bargain><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>ThesisMicrosoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock is down approximately to 20% YTD, in line with the broad market (Reference: S&P 500).

In addition, inflation and rising-real yields could add significant headwinds to MSFT's stock price, as the higher discount rates affect the net present value of long-dated cash flows.Fourth, Microsoft's size and scale are too difficult to ignore for anti-trust officials. While the company has managed to defend past lawsuits in the EU and the U.S., the anti-competition allegations against Microsoft could accelerate and either force the company to spin-off units and/or slow market expansion.Finally, Microsoft is a consensus buy on Wall Street. Thus, the company's share price is vulnerable to downside disappointment.ConclusionJudged merely by the MSFT's P/E multiple of approximately x25, Microsoft stock appears expensive in relation to the company's FAAMG peers and very expensive in relation to the S&P 500. However, if we add to the P/E multiple growth expectations, the picture reverses: MSFT stock is very cheap in relation to the S&P 500 and cheap in relation to FAAMG - only second to Google.From a business model perspective, Microsoft's potential is arguably unmatched. The company operates the world's leading cloud business with high-margin PaaS offerings being 47% of cloud sales, vs 53% for IaaS. Moreover, if we consider the Metaverse, Microsoft is the only player with leading exposure to infrastructure, software and content. Based on a residual earnings framework anchored on analyst EPS estimates, I calculate a fair implied share price of $368.64/share. Thus, in my opinion, MSFT is a confident buy at <$280/share. Very bullish.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":216,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9045142727,"gmtCreate":1656586032069,"gmtModify":1676535858346,"author":{"id":"4101119886251660","authorId":"4101119886251660","name":"Ystar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101119886251660","authorIdStr":"4101119886251660"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9045142727","repostId":"2247799048","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":366,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9920697490,"gmtCreate":1670473881311,"gmtModify":1676538376193,"author":{"id":"4101119886251660","authorId":"4101119886251660","name":"Ystar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101119886251660","authorIdStr":"4101119886251660"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9920697490","repostId":"2289053469","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2289053469","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":1670459367,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2289053469?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-08 08:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Pentagon Awards $9 Bln Cloud Contracts Each to Google, Amazon, Oracle and Microsoft","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2289053469","media":"Reuters","summary":"(Reuters) - The Pentagon on Wednesday awarded cloud computing contracts worth $9 billion each to Alp","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>(Reuters) - The Pentagon on Wednesday awarded cloud computing contracts worth $9 billion each to Alphabet Inc&#39;s Google (GOOGL.O), Amazon Web Services Inc (AMZN.O), Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) and Oracle Corp (ORCL.N).</p><p>The contracts which run until 2028, will provide the Department of Defense with enterprise-wide, globally available cloud services across all security domains and classification levels.</p><p>The move comes months after the Pentagon had delayed its decision to award an enterprise-wide Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) contract earlier this year.</p><p>The deal puts the military more in line with private-sector companies, many of whom split up their cloud computing work among multiple vendors to avoid being locked in to any specific one.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Today, I list my top 3 fundamental reasons.</p><p>When it comes to <b>Apple</b> stock, even I am sometimes to blame for focusing a bit too much on the “here and now”. What do iPhone sales in the holiday quarter look like? Is Apple pulling back production in China? Can the stock build upon recent momentum?</p><p>So now, I take one step back. More fundamentally, what are some of the main reasons why investors might want to own AAPL shares? There are probably many of them, but I will start with my own top 3 list today.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a934c8d32eb2b80a07cf98af6caf9467\" tg-width=\"1240\" tg-height=\"827\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Figure 1: 3 Big Reasons To Love Apple Stock</span></p><h2>AAPL Reason #1: Massive ROIC</h2><p>ROIC, or return on invested capital, is a metric that many analysts and investors like to track. It contrasts a company’s earnings (numerator) against the cash raised from debt and equity investors (denominator). Think of the formula:</p><p>ROIC = NOPAT ÷ Invested Capital, in which:</p><ul><li>NOPAT is the net operating profit after tax, a similar concept to net income</li><li>Invested capital is largely equity plus debt investments minus cash</li></ul><p>The higher the ROIC, the better. It means that the company is able to “deliver more with less”: lots of profits with relatively small quantities of capital invested into the firm.</p><p>Companies in a good competitive position whose wide moat protects the business model well tend to have high ROIC. On the other hand, cut-throat competition that chips away at a company’s profits and margins tends to lead to low ROIC.</p><p>Apple’s ROIC hovered around 35% in 2010, within three years following the launch of the iPhone and the iPad. That’s really not a bad number at all, considering Apple’s weighted cost of capital that is probably short of 10%.</p><p>But since then, Apple’s ROIC has skyrocketed (see below). Today, the number is a staggering 56%. Relative to the investment that debtholders and equity holders have placed into the company, Apple is a massive profit-producing machine.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fbc66682044c0970e857a65b8974a103\" tg-width=\"1178\" tg-height=\"336\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Figure 2: AAPL&#39;s ROIC.</span></p><p>There are two main reasons why Apple has been able to increase its ROIC, especially in the past five years.

Today, I list my top 3 fundamental reasons.When it comes to Apple stock, even I am sometimes to blame for focusing a bit too much on the “here and now”. What do iPhone sales in the holiday quarter look like? Is Apple pulling back production in China? Can the stock build upon recent momentum?So now, I take one step back. More fundamentally, what are some of the main reasons why investors might want to own AAPL shares? There are probably many of them, but I will start with my own top 3 list today.Figure 1: 3 Big Reasons To Love Apple StockAAPL Reason #1: Massive ROICROIC, or return on invested capital, is a metric that many analysts and investors like to track. It contrasts a company’s earnings (numerator) against the cash raised from debt and equity investors (denominator). Think of the formula:ROIC = NOPAT ÷ Invested Capital, in which:NOPAT is the net operating profit after tax, a similar concept to net incomeInvested capital is largely equity plus debt investments minus cashThe higher the ROIC, the better. It means that the company is able to “deliver more with less”: lots of profits with relatively small quantities of capital invested into the firm.Companies in a good competitive position whose wide moat protects the business model well tend to have high ROIC. On the other hand, cut-throat competition that chips away at a company’s profits and margins tends to lead to low ROIC.Apple’s ROIC hovered around 35% in 2010, within three years following the launch of the iPhone and the iPad. That’s really not a bad number at all, considering Apple’s weighted cost of capital that is probably short of 10%.But since then, Apple’s ROIC has skyrocketed (see below). Today, the number is a staggering 56%. Relative to the investment that debtholders and equity holders have placed into the company, Apple is a massive profit-producing machine.Figure 2: AAPL's ROIC.There are two main reasons why Apple has been able to increase its ROIC, especially in the past five years. First, profits (the numerator) have increased as (1) the 5G-capable iPhone models became a hit among consumers, (2) Apple was able to maintain pricing power, and (3) margins improved with the growth of the services segment.Second, investments in the company (the denominator) have decreased sharply, mostly due to Apple’s aggressive strategy of buying back shares since 2012(more on this below).AAPL Reason #2: Highly EfficientAlthough services represent a sizable 20% of total sales, Apple is still primarily a consumer products vendor. Companies like it live and die by how tightly it manages working capital – that is, receivables and inventory on the asset side, payables on the liability side.The less cash a company ties up in receivables and inventory, and the longer it takes a company to pay its own vendors, the better. Introducing the concept of cash conversion cycle: the time it takes a company to convert cash into inventory, and then back into cash via sales.On working capital management, Apple stands out. According to Finbox, Apple’s cash conversion cycle is -62 days – yes, a negative number. It effectively means that Apple does not tie up cash in operations at all: instead, operations are financed by Apple’s vendors.The Cupertino giant is one of the few tech companies in the world that can pull this off.AAPL Reason #3: Shareholder FriendlyOne of the reasons why Apple has been able to increase its ROIC drastically (see #1 reason above) is due to share buybacks. Cash return to shareholders alone, in fact, is a great incentive to own Apple stock.The chart below shows how Apple has been aggressive at buying its own shares since 2012 – shortly after CEO Tim Cook took over from legendary founder Steve Jobs. From 26 billion shares outstanding in 2013, the count has been cut by nearly half now.Figure 3: AAPL's diluted shares.The benefits have been twofold. First, fewer shares outstanding mean that net income is distributed across fewer shareholder units. As a result, earnings per share, a metric closely tracked by investors and analysts, have increased.Second, Apple’s stock buyback program allows the company to be an ever-present bullish force in the market. Even when other investors turn sour on Apple stock, at least the Cupertino company can be there to create demand for its own shares.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":180,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9968755470,"gmtCreate":1669336245190,"gmtModify":1676538184212,"author":{"id":"4101119886251660","authorId":"4101119886251660","name":"Ystar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101119886251660","authorIdStr":"4101119886251660"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks","listText":"Thanks","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9968755470","repostId":"2286343743","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2286343743","pubTimestamp":1669359955,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2286343743?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-25 15:05","market":"other","language":"en","title":"3 Cryptos to Avoid No Matter What","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2286343743","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The future looks bleak for these cryptocurrencies.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The bankruptcy of FTX and rapid drop in the <b>FTX Token</b> has caused a lot of investors to rethink the value in these cryptocurrencies.

Yuga Labs, which launched the Bored Ape Yacht Club and related non-fungible tokens (NFTs), was not technically involved in the token&#39;s launch, but it was given 16% of the tokens at launch and the four Yuga Labs founders were given 8% of the tokens.

This is a single point of failure that hasn&#39;t worked out well for the FTX, Celsius, and Voyager tokens that have all collapsed in value in large part because their creators went into bankruptcy. I&#39;m not calling for Binance&#39;s bankruptcy, but taking a risk on a token tied to one company isn&#39;t wise after how we&#39;ve seen similar tokens collapse in value.</p><h2>Dogecoin&#39;s meme status might end</h2><p>The Dogecoin community leans into the fact that this was a joke token to begin with.

Right now, being cautious is a wise approach, and one should stay out of tokens that have little to no use cases today.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":207,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":188540248375448,"gmtCreate":1687055857720,"gmtModify":1687055861360,"author":{"id":"4101119886251660","authorId":"4101119886251660","name":"Ystar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101119886251660","authorIdStr":"4101119886251660"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks for the game!","listText":"Thanks for the game!","text":"Thanks for the game!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/188540248375448","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":813,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9925217707,"gmtCreate":1672031636910,"gmtModify":1676538624670,"author":{"id":"4101119886251660","authorId":"4101119886251660","name":"Ystar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101119886251660","authorIdStr":"4101119886251660"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi","listText":"Hi","text":"Hi","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9925217707","repostId":"9963969638","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":9963969638,"gmtCreate":1668567458425,"gmtModify":1677745765888,"author":{"id":"3527667667103859","authorId":"3527667667103859","name":"TigerEvents","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c266ef25181ace18bec1262357bbe1a8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3527667667103859","authorIdStr":"3527667667103859"},"themes":[],"title":"Join Tiger's Football Season, share the prizes worth up to US$200,000","htmlText":"This year is the year of football, the Qatar World Cup, AFF championship, make the following days a big carnival for football fans all around the world!&nbsp;While you enjoy your football carnival, don't forget to join in Tiger's Football Season on Tiger Trade App, and share the prizes worth up to USD 200,000!Play the \"Perfect Goals\" game with us, and feel the score moment by only pressing the button.Keep completing the daily tasks and play the game, win more points to redeem stock vouchers worth up to USD 2,000 or AFF tickets, and the top prize - the free journey of watching the AFF finals!You can also predict a football match of the World Cup or AFF Championship, and cheer for your home team.Besides, you may obtain the Tiger Football Card by participating in the campaign every day.Goalke","listText":"This year is the year of football, the Qatar World Cup, AFF championship, make the following days a big carnival for football fans all around the world!&nbsp;While you enjoy your football carnival, don't forget to join in Tiger's Football Season on Tiger Trade App, and share the prizes worth up to USD 200,000!Play the \"Perfect Goals\" game with us, and feel the score moment by only pressing the button.Keep completing the daily tasks and play the game, win more points to redeem stock vouchers worth up to USD 2,000 or AFF tickets, and the top prize - the free journey of watching the AFF finals!You can also predict a football match of the World Cup or AFF Championship, and cheer for your home team.Besides, you may obtain the Tiger Football Card by participating in the campaign every day.Goalke","text":"This year is the year of football, the Qatar World Cup, AFF championship, make the following days a big carnival for football fans all around the world!

His logic is simple, increasing earnings without major capital requirements is a better business to be in. It takes money to make money, but you want it to take as little money as possible.</p><p>This begs the question why Warren Buffett spent $44 B to buy Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) in 2009. Railroads take a lot of capital expenditure to grow. He explained this purchase in his 2020 Letter to Shareholders where he clarifies that asset heavy business can be good investments as long as they deliver returns on incremental investment.</p><p>The following chart shows Amazon with the rest of the companies in the S&amp;P 500 for context. The blue shaded area here shows the distribution of all other companies in the S&amp;P 500 since 2003. Amazon is way down at the bottom below the 15th percentile. On a simple linear ratings system, it might only get 1 out of 5 stars. As I outlined above this would be a mistake.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aa30b56f526070e566065d1c797b37eb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"382\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Instead of a simple linear scale you should look at Returns on Unleveraged Net Tangible Assets as an either/or, but not neither, measure. Let me explain. In this measure companies should strive to not be mediocre. They should find a strategy of extremes like competing on low cost or high differentiation, but not companies should not try to do both. Great companies have extremely high Returns on Net Tangible Assets and show up above the blue region in the chart above. This group is great because they can grow so fast. Good companies show up below the blue region in the chart. These companies are good when they have a massive capital investment moat around them causing any new entrant to go broke trying to gain scale to compete. Amazon has this moat in the massive logistics system surrounding its retail segments and massive datacenter holdings surrounding its web services.</p><h3>Risk Reward Forecast</h3><p>The below chart is a prediction of value at risk and potential return of holding Amazon stock. As shown by the blue intrinsic value region in the chart below, Amazon is below any level of intrinsic value it has traded at in the last 5 years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3b0cfe7cedd93b0c97f8c45be75ae2a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"357\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Amazon.com now has a value at risk of 21%. While this is high, it is all short-term trading risk and not long-term investment risk. The low-price prediction of $73.16 is based on historic short-term volatility. With a central forecast of $165.90 potential yearly returns are as high as 59%.</p><h3>About the Risk Forecast</h3><p>In the case of Amazon, historical data on earnings, revenue, and federal funds rate is used to train a series of machine learning algorithms to create a forecast of price risk. The chart probably needs some explanation. The blue bands represent the predicted intrinsic value of the company with the actual price data shown against the prediction. The grey forecast portion shows how the price of $92.46 at the time of forecast relates to the intrinsic value of the company.</p><p>The algorithms do a pretty good job of predicting long term price movement, but price will go outside the blue bands. Those bands are only there to show you where the price should be 90% of the time. This forecast, and forecasts for other stocks as well, tend to lag price when it goes down and lead when it goes up. This makes it useful to determine risk in a stock, but it is less reliable for market timing. That said, I am unaware of any market timing schemes that stand up to robust analysis.</p><h3>Amazon Revenue Growth: Past and Present</h3><p>The next chart shows the last 8 years of earnings and revenue as well as forecasts for the next 2 years from 13 sell-side analysts reporting from major brokerage houses.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/abc60f250f3aa60fdf7522e69fb5d06a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"213\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>The revenue forecasts show that revenues are projected to grow on a 12.5% trend over the next two years. This is down almost 50% from Amazon&#39;s historical growth trend of 25.3%. Growth rates of 25% a year are extraordinary, whereas a 12% curve is still good, but no longer extraordinary.</p><p>2023 revenue estimates are in line with long term trends. The estimates are centered around $1020.63 per share with the entire range fitting between $1006.82 and $1031.16. The revenue picture for Amazon is stable.</p><h3>Amazon Earnings Expectations</h3><p>Earnings are a different story entirely. After peaking in 2021 and 2022 Pro Forma earnings per share expectations have come way down and are expected to be between $1.08 and -$0.07 next year and $3.11 and $1.40 in 2024.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1140ca748562675693792b7076e9f24a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"213\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Amazon has seen a slight drop in revenue growth and a major drop in earnings. The important point to note is that forecasts are well known and therefore priced into any reasonably efficient market including the market for Amazon stock.</p><p>Amazon&#39;s earnings estimates change a lot though. I am working toward a quantification of how much this change affects share prices to quantify what Warren Buffet calls &#39;bob around&#39; earnings.&#39; While I am working on that, you can see the effects of estimate changes in the above two plots. See how the revenue curves look smooth, but the earnings curve jumps around. The curve represents analyst forecast change over time. Any change in slope is a change in analyst estimates at that time.</p><p>I can&#39;t tell you how earnings estimates will change moving forward, but just realize they could swing up or down by significant amounts.</p><h3>Analyst Sentiment</h3><p>We therefore need to look at recent analyst change which I consider analyst sentiment. The below chart summarizes analyst behavior for all stocks in the S&amp;P across the last 2 decades. The neutral point shows analysts tend to increase estimates by 1.3% monthly and are currently pessimistic on the S&amp;P having decreased estimates by -1.0% over the past 30 days. Amazon shows extremely positive sentiment at a 10.1% increase over the past month.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/74fc037354791333fb82a93a8e11435d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"213\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>The above chart looks bullish, but we need to temper it with the realization that a 10% increase after the massive decrease in earnings forecasts, we have seen only indicates it isn&#39;t as bad as we thought.</p><h3>Final Word</h3><p>As shown in the Risk Return forecast, it is likely to take at least a year for price levels to return to 2021 values. Given that revenue growth is intact and competitive advantage through sheer size of net tangible assets is a formidable moat, Amazon will likely return to previous earnings levels.

His logic is simple, increasing earnings without major capital requirements is a better business to be in. It takes money to make money, but you want it to take as little money as possible.This begs the question why Warren Buffett spent $44 B to buy Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) in 2009. Railroads take a lot of capital expenditure to grow. He explained this purchase in his 2020 Letter to Shareholders where he clarifies that asset heavy business can be good investments as long as they deliver returns on incremental investment.The following chart shows Amazon with the rest of the companies in the S&P 500 for context. The blue shaded area here shows the distribution of all other companies in the S&P 500 since 2003. Amazon is way down at the bottom below the 15th percentile. On a simple linear ratings system, it might only get 1 out of 5 stars. As I outlined above this would be a mistake.Instead of a simple linear scale you should look at Returns on Unleveraged Net Tangible Assets as an either/or, but not neither, measure. Let me explain. In this measure companies should strive to not be mediocre. They should find a strategy of extremes like competing on low cost or high differentiation, but not companies should not try to do both. Great companies have extremely high Returns on Net Tangible Assets and show up above the blue region in the chart above. This group is great because they can grow so fast. Good companies show up below the blue region in the chart. These companies are good when they have a massive capital investment moat around them causing any new entrant to go broke trying to gain scale to compete. Amazon has this moat in the massive logistics system surrounding its retail segments and massive datacenter holdings surrounding its web services.Risk Reward ForecastThe below chart is a prediction of value at risk and potential return of holding Amazon stock. As shown by the blue intrinsic value region in the chart below, Amazon is below any level of intrinsic value it has traded at in the last 5 years.Amazon.com now has a value at risk of 21%. While this is high, it is all short-term trading risk and not long-term investment risk. The low-price prediction of $73.16 is based on historic short-term volatility. With a central forecast of $165.90 potential yearly returns are as high as 59%.About the Risk ForecastIn the case of Amazon, historical data on earnings, revenue, and federal funds rate is used to train a series of machine learning algorithms to create a forecast of price risk. The chart probably needs some explanation. The blue bands represent the predicted intrinsic value of the company with the actual price data shown against the prediction. The grey forecast portion shows how the price of $92.46 at the time of forecast relates to the intrinsic value of the company.The algorithms do a pretty good job of predicting long term price movement, but price will go outside the blue bands. Those bands are only there to show you where the price should be 90% of the time. This forecast, and forecasts for other stocks as well, tend to lag price when it goes down and lead when it goes up. This makes it useful to determine risk in a stock, but it is less reliable for market timing. That said, I am unaware of any market timing schemes that stand up to robust analysis.Amazon Revenue Growth: Past and PresentThe next chart shows the last 8 years of earnings and revenue as well as forecasts for the next 2 years from 13 sell-side analysts reporting from major brokerage houses.The revenue forecasts show that revenues are projected to grow on a 12.5% trend over the next two years. This is down almost 50% from Amazon's historical growth trend of 25.3%. Growth rates of 25% a year are extraordinary, whereas a 12% curve is still good, but no longer extraordinary.2023 revenue estimates are in line with long term trends. The estimates are centered around $1020.63 per share with the entire range fitting between $1006.82 and $1031.16. The revenue picture for Amazon is stable.Amazon Earnings ExpectationsEarnings are a different story entirely. After peaking in 2021 and 2022 Pro Forma earnings per share expectations have come way down and are expected to be between $1.08 and -$0.07 next year and $3.11 and $1.40 in 2024.Amazon has seen a slight drop in revenue growth and a major drop in earnings. The important point to note is that forecasts are well known and therefore priced into any reasonably efficient market including the market for Amazon stock.Amazon's earnings estimates change a lot though. I am working toward a quantification of how much this change affects share prices to quantify what Warren Buffet calls 'bob around' earnings.' While I am working on that, you can see the effects of estimate changes in the above two plots. See how the revenue curves look smooth, but the earnings curve jumps around. The curve represents analyst forecast change over time. Any change in slope is a change in analyst estimates at that time.I can't tell you how earnings estimates will change moving forward, but just realize they could swing up or down by significant amounts.Analyst SentimentWe therefore need to look at recent analyst change which I consider analyst sentiment. The below chart summarizes analyst behavior for all stocks in the S&P across the last 2 decades. The neutral point shows analysts tend to increase estimates by 1.3% monthly and are currently pessimistic on the S&P having decreased estimates by -1.0% over the past 30 days. Amazon shows extremely positive sentiment at a 10.1% increase over the past month.The above chart looks bullish, but we need to temper it with the realization that a 10% increase after the massive decrease in earnings forecasts, we have seen only indicates it isn't as bad as we thought.Final WordAs shown in the Risk Return forecast, it is likely to take at least a year for price levels to return to 2021 values. Given that revenue growth is intact and competitive advantage through sheer size of net tangible assets is a formidable moat, Amazon will likely return to previous earnings levels. Get ready for your Prime membership fee to increase, and likely a split of prime video as a separate offering, but Amazon's earnings will return. It's just a matter of when, and how much we pay for it as consumers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":531,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9967001033,"gmtCreate":1670218461722,"gmtModify":1676538323085,"author":{"id":"4101119886251660","authorId":"4101119886251660","name":"Ystar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101119886251660","authorIdStr":"4101119886251660"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks","listText":"Thanks","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9967001033","repostId":"1146639925","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1146639925","pubTimestamp":1670208180,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1146639925?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-05 10:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microsoft Stock: Investor Fears Are Overblown, Says Morgan Stanley","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1146639925","media":"TipRanks","summary":"2022 has been tough going for most.

The well-known headwinds of unabating high inflation, the measures taken to tame it amidst fears of a full-blown recession have seen even the sturdiest of models come under pressure.Most have fallen victim to the macro whims, including tech giant Microsoft (MSFT), whose recent September quarter results (F1Q23) were a disappointing affair.So, where to now? Morgan Stanley analyst Keith Weiss believes investor concerns center around two main issues – margins and revenue growth.For the former, the bigger-than-anticipated FQ2 operating expense guide suggests the company is reluctant to slash expenses so to “better protect” operating margins. While for the latter, considering the Commercial segment grew 22% cc (constant currency) in FQ1, a revenue outlook of “durable” 20% cc Commercial growth that does not seem to be “de-risked.”“From our perspective,” says the 5-star analyst, “the two investor concerns go hand in hand. The company still sees a strong (and durable) demand signal around these secular growth opportunities, especially within the Commercial business, which requires continued investments to yield.”Microsoft wants to maintain current investments so to gain market share, win a larger share of IT budgets as businesses look to consolidate vendors, and maintain strategic long-term positioning rather than cut more drastically to maximize near-term profitability. This is due to its strong competitive positioning in advance of significant secular growth opportunities.“We largely agree with the strategy here,” opines Weiss, “as the strength of Microsoft’s positioning across key secular growth segments remains unchanged. Mix shift toward faster growing Azure and Dynamics 365 and relatively durable Office 365 growth (in constant currency) help support management’s goal of 20% constant currency growth across its Commercial businesses.”As such, Weiss, stays “confident in the long-term secular growth story,” and believes that given its positioning, the stock is “relatively under valued” compared to peers.All told, then, the analyst sticks with an Overweight (i.e., Buy) rating backed by a $307 price target. The implication for investors? Upside of 28% from current levels.Most on the Street agree; with 26 Buys against 3 Holds, the stock receives a Strong Buy consensus rating. The forecast calls for one-year gains of ~17%, given the average target stands at $295.38.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":358,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9961449739,"gmtCreate":1669034222222,"gmtModify":1676538142346,"author":{"id":"4101119886251660","authorId":"4101119886251660","name":"Ystar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101119886251660","authorIdStr":"4101119886251660"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Strong]&nbsp;","listText":"[Strong]&nbsp;","text":"[Strong]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9961449739","repostId":"2284768065","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2284768065","pubTimestamp":1669043134,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2284768065?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-21 23:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"My Top FAANG Stock For 2023 -- and It Isn't Even Close","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2284768065","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Of all these investor favorite companies, one stands out as an exceptional value.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Long-time investors are no doubt familiar with the fabled FAANG stocks, which have been some of the most disruptive and wealth-generating companies of the past 10 years:</p><ul><li>Facebook parent <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a></b></li><li><b>Apple</b></li><li><b>Amazon</b></li><li><b>Netflix</b></li><li>Google, which rebranded as <b>Alphabet</b></li></ul><p>Every company on this list is the undisputed leader in its field. Meta Platforms has transformed how consumers interact with social media. Apple has the world&#39;s best-selling smartphone. Amazon is the undisputed leader in U.S. e-commerce. Netflix pioneered the field of streaming video. And Google became a verb for its dominance of internet search. As a result, these stocks have generated life-changing gains for investors, ranging from 412% to 2,540% -- even after the recent market decline.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3d94de8d2d634961c0cd1b9881e94381\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"533\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts.</span></p><p>Furthermore, the recent bear market has pummeled technology stocks, with the <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> down a whopping 30% from last year&#39;s high. Some of the FAANG stocks have been hit even harder, with these tech titans shedding between 18% and 70% of their value.</p><p>With the FAANG stocks each selling at multiyear lows, which of the group is tops to buy for 2023? For my money, Amazon is ripe for the picking. Here&#39;s why.</p><h2>The death of e-commerce has been greatly exaggerated</h2><p>No conversation about Amazon is possible without discussing the 800-pound gorilla in the room -- e-commerce. After the lockdown-induced growth spurt of 2020, digital retail has experienced rapid deceleration, reverting to historical averages. Investors with a &#34;what have you done for me lately&#34; mindset are convinced that its best days are in the rearview mirror.</p><p>Amazon&#39;s recent results seemed to confirm investors&#39; worst fears. In the third quarter, net sales of $127 billion grew 15% year over year, a far cry from the 38% growth Amazon generated in 2020.</p><p>Yet, it&#39;s important to put that slowing growth in context. We&#39;re in the throes of the worst economic downturn since 2009. Consumers are having to scale back spending in the face of near 40-year high inflation and rising interest rates. Given time, the economy will no doubt recover -- it always does.</p><p>Overall, e-commerce growth is stalled, but once the economy recovers, so too will consumer spending. The global e-commerce market is slated to grow from $3.3 trillion this year to $5.4 trillion in 2026, representing 27% of all retail, according to estimates calculated by <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a></b>. Amazon commanded 38% of online sales in the U.S. for the first half of 2022 -- more than its next 14 rivals <i>combined</i>. This shows that the company is well positioned to benefit from the inevitable rebound of consumer spending and the continuing growth of e-commerce.</p><h2>Head in the clouds</h2><p>Digital retail isn&#39;t the only area that Amazon dominates. The company pioneered cloud computing and is still the industry powerhouse, with a market share of 32%, well ahead of <b>Microsoft</b> Azure and Google Cloud, which account for 22% and 9%, respectively, according to Canalys.</p><p>AWS has held up remarkably well so far this year, particularly given the state of the economy, as revenue grew 32% year over year in the first nine months of 2022. Some businesses are reining in spending, but a vast opportunity remains. Cloud computing is expected to grow severalfold this decade, climbing from $380 billion in 2021 to $1.6 trillion by 2030. As the undisputed leader in the space, Amazon will no doubt benefit from this ongoing trend.</p><h2>That&#39;s not all</h2><p>If that weren&#39;t enough, over the past several years, Amazon has ascended the ranks to become a digital advertising powerhouse. Not only is Amazon the No. 3 provider of online advertising (behind Alphabet and Meta Platforms), but it also continues to grow much more quickly than its chief rivals.</p><p>In the third quarter, Amazon&#39;s advertising services revenue grew 25% year over year, outpacing the results by Alphabet, which grew 2%, and Meta Platforms which declined 4%, during the same period.</p><h2>The fine print</h2><p>Just to be clear, I&#39;m not badmouthing <i>any</i> of the FAANG companies. I own each and every one of these stocks. As a group, and as of this writing, they represent 29% of my total personal wealth.

Meta Platforms has transformed how consumers interact with social media. Apple has the world's best-selling smartphone. Amazon is the undisputed leader in U.S. e-commerce. Netflix pioneered the field of streaming video. And Google became a verb for its dominance of internet search. As a result, these stocks have generated life-changing gains for investors, ranging from 412% to 2,540% -- even after the recent market decline.Data by YCharts.Furthermore, the recent bear market has pummeled technology stocks, with the Nasdaq Composite down a whopping 30% from last year's high. Some of the FAANG stocks have been hit even harder, with these tech titans shedding between 18% and 70% of their value.With the FAANG stocks each selling at multiyear lows, which of the group is tops to buy for 2023? For my money, Amazon is ripe for the picking. Here's why.The death of e-commerce has been greatly exaggeratedNo conversation about Amazon is possible without discussing the 800-pound gorilla in the room -- e-commerce. After the lockdown-induced growth spurt of 2020, digital retail has experienced rapid deceleration, reverting to historical averages. Investors with a \"what have you done for me lately\" mindset are convinced that its best days are in the rearview mirror.Amazon's recent results seemed to confirm investors' worst fears. In the third quarter, net sales of $127 billion grew 15% year over year, a far cry from the 38% growth Amazon generated in 2020.Yet, it's important to put that slowing growth in context. We're in the throes of the worst economic downturn since 2009. Consumers are having to scale back spending in the face of near 40-year high inflation and rising interest rates. Given time, the economy will no doubt recover -- it always does.Overall, e-commerce growth is stalled, but once the economy recovers, so too will consumer spending. The global e-commerce market is slated to grow from $3.3 trillion this year to $5.4 trillion in 2026, representing 27% of all retail, according to estimates calculated by Morgan Stanley. Amazon commanded 38% of online sales in the U.S. for the first half of 2022 -- more than its next 14 rivals combined. This shows that the company is well positioned to benefit from the inevitable rebound of consumer spending and the continuing growth of e-commerce.Head in the cloudsDigital retail isn't the only area that Amazon dominates. The company pioneered cloud computing and is still the industry powerhouse, with a market share of 32%, well ahead of Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, which account for 22% and 9%, respectively, according to Canalys.AWS has held up remarkably well so far this year, particularly given the state of the economy, as revenue grew 32% year over year in the first nine months of 2022. Some businesses are reining in spending, but a vast opportunity remains. Cloud computing is expected to grow severalfold this decade, climbing from $380 billion in 2021 to $1.6 trillion by 2030. As the undisputed leader in the space, Amazon will no doubt benefit from this ongoing trend.That's not allIf that weren't enough, over the past several years, Amazon has ascended the ranks to become a digital advertising powerhouse. Not only is Amazon the No. 3 provider of online advertising (behind Alphabet and Meta Platforms), but it also continues to grow much more quickly than its chief rivals.In the third quarter, Amazon's advertising services revenue grew 25% year over year, outpacing the results by Alphabet, which grew 2%, and Meta Platforms which declined 4%, during the same period.The fine printJust to be clear, I'm not badmouthing any of the FAANG companies. I own each and every one of these stocks. As a group, and as of this writing, they represent 29% of my total personal wealth. It's also important to note that I didn't \"back up the truck\" on any of these, but rather made several modest investments over the past decade and let the companies do the heavy lifting from there.That said, Amazon represents an amazing opportunity for investors with the resources and patience to see it through. The stock is currently selling for its cheapest valuation since 2015. A reasonable price-to-sales ratio is generally between 1 and 2, a bar Amazon clears with ease, selling for just 1.7 times next year's sales -- making it the cheapest of all the FAANG stocks.Given its strong position in three growth industries, its vast opportunity, its history of strong growth -- even amid economic headwinds -- and its cheapest valuation in years, Amazon has earned its spot as my top FAANG stock for 2023.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":94,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
