However, its upcoming launch of devices grabs the limelight.Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) subsidiary, Google, is restructuring to reduce costs and optimize its business. Its cloud-based game streaming service, Stadia, is being shuttered. However, there is not much to worry.Why Stadia’s Closure Will Be Good for AlphabetStadia was an underperformer compared to rivals Xbox and PlayStation due to its pricing complexities and confusing interface. Taking a practical decision to shut the service and focus investments on other higher growth areas, Google announced that Stadia will be closed fully on January 18, 2023. Management will try to fit Stadia employees into other suitable teams as far as possible, but some unemployment could be on the cards.However, looking at the bigger picture, shutting an underperforming unit could reduce unnecessary costs, especially at a time when cost pressures are mounting for tech companies. Google is constantly investing in new technologies and penetrating new markets. Such investments need a reasonable amount of borrowing, which is also becoming more expensive with the rising interest rates. Therefore, Stadia’s shuttering will redirect investments to areas that need monetary attention.Also, Stadia was not generating the revenue that Google had envisioned. To that end, an increase in fixed costs without any growth in revenues would put additional weight on Google’s already pressured margins.All Eyes on Made by GoogleAmid all the noise, the company is slated to hold its highly-awaited “Made by Google” event on October 6, ahead of which Monness Crespi Hardt analyst Brian White remains unflinchingly bullish on Google’s longer-term view.As White says, Google is “joining the gadget party” after Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) “Far Out” and Samsung’s “Unfold Your World” launch events. The event will include the introductions of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones, the Google Pixel Watch, and new Nest devices. Notably, the Pixel Watch will be the company’s first smartwatch to be developed leveraging its acquisition of fitness tracking company Fitbit.Although smartphones are facing the wrath of macroeconomics lately, Android still has a dominant position in the operating system market over Apple, according to International Data Corporation’s (IDC) Q2 estimates.Is Google a Good Investment?White, a known Google bull, unsurprisingly reinforced his Buy rating on the stock with a price target of $145.Wall Street consensus is also bullish on Alphabet stock, with a Strong Buy rating based on 30 Buys and two Holds. The average price target for GOOGL stock is currently $142.63.Bottom-line: Overall, Alphabet Can Beat the OddsGoogle’s dominant position in search and digital advertising is positive. Moreover, rapid digital transformation across industries and the shift of workloads to the cloud have prepared a solid growth runway for the company, which will help it “trade at a healthy premium to the market and tech sector in the long run,” according to White.Granted, there are certain pain areas in its business, but nothing that is making Wall Street turn cautious.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":668,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9916726162,"gmtCreate":1664683419256,"gmtModify":1676537494081,"author":{"id":"4126956022313922","authorId":"4126956022313922","name":"Julianw","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b3e5ee8e00fbd5d2d070fb101e902b5d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4126956022313922","authorIdStr":"4126956022313922"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Will monitor this a bit more to assess.&nbsp; Thank you!&nbsp;","listText":"Will monitor this a bit more to assess.&nbsp; Thank you!&nbsp;","text":"Will monitor this a bit more to assess.

J.P. Morgan’sAlex Yao has an idea. The analyst believes “sentiment-driven fund flow is the current key share price driver and revenue recovery is the key determinant of market sentiment.”That is a bit of problem, then. Because Yao expects weak China consumption in the September quarter (F2Q23) to impact the revenue outlook.Since late August, Covid has once again been a disruptive force in a host of cities across China, and as such, Yao expects “limited improvement” in Alibaba’s core-core CMR (customer-management revenue) compared to the June quarter.The analyst sees the September quarter’s CMR falling by 4% from the same period last year, hardly any better than the June quarter’s 5% drop. On account of “low visibility of consumer sentiment improvement” or any relaxion of the Covid policies, the decline will continue in the December quarter, albeit at a slower pace (Yao expects a 2% year-over-year decline vs. anticipation of a positive turn previously).In contrast, given Alibaba’s firm commitment to cost-cutting and efficiency-improving measures, Yao sees “potential upside to consensus bottom-line projections.”However, that might not have enough of a positive effect right now. “Alibaba’s weakening revenue outlook in the near term could continue to weigh on the share price despite an unchanged, or even potentially better, profit outlook,” the analyst said, before summing up, “Nonetheless, we believe Alibaba’s share price is attractive on a 12-month view on 1) profit growth recovery to 20%+ in FY2024, 2) current consensus FY2024 PE of only 9x.”To this end, Yao rates BABA shares an Overweight (i.e., Buy) along with a $135 price target. This figure leaves room for 12-month share appreciation of ~69%. Yao’s rating stays an Overweight (i.e., Buy).Overall, Wall Street takes a bullish stance on Alibaba shares. 17 Buys and 1 Sell issued over the previous three months, making the stock a Strong Buy. Meanwhile, the $149.06 average price target suggests ~86% upside from current levels.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":553,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9916341201,"gmtCreate":1664518364304,"gmtModify":1676537470648,"author":{"id":"4126956022313922","authorId":"4126956022313922","name":"Julianw","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b3e5ee8e00fbd5d2d070fb101e902b5d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4126956022313922","authorIdStr":"4126956022313922"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I like the extensive analysis of this article.

I consider Alphabet to be even more attractive when it comes to risk and reward.</li><li>My investment thesis is underlined by the results of theHQC Scorecardin which Alphabet scores 91/100 while Meta scores 80/100. Furthermore, it is supported by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, in which Alphabet is ranked 2nd within the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is ranked 14th (both out of 61).</li><li>At the current stock prices, I expect a compound annual rate of return of about 18% for Alphabet and one of 16% for Meta. Both are based on the calculations of my DCF Models.</li></ul><h2><b>The Competitive Positions of Alphabet and Meta</b></h2><p>For both Alphabet and Meta I see the enormous amount of data and their ability to analyse and use this data as strong competitive advantages over their rivals in the Interactive Media and Services Industry. In addition to that, both companies are among the top 10 of the world&#39;s most valuable brands: according toBrand Finance, Google is ranked 3rd with a brand value of $263,425M and Facebook is ranked 7th with a brand value of $101,201M.</p><p>Both Alphabet and Meta have a proven ability of successfully integrating new businesses into their companies. One of Alphabet&#39;s most successful acquisitions was YouTube, for which the company paid $1.65 billion back in 2006. Meta acquired Instagram for$1.0 billionin 2012 and WhatsApp for$19 billionin 2014.</p><p>The enormous financial strength of Alphabet and Meta provide them with another significant competitive advantage: while Alphabet has $124,997M in Total Cash &amp; ST Investments at this moment in time, Meta currently disposes of $40,489M. Having a high amount of cash puts both companies in a position to make large acquisitions in order to ensure further future growth. This financial strength is also backed up by a Moody&#39;s credit rating of Aa2 for Alphabet and A1 for Meta.</p><p>Both Alphabet and Meta have strong competitive advantages. However, I would like to summarize that Alphabet is slightly ahead of Meta when it comes to brand value (Alphabet has a brand value of $263,425M while the one of Facebook is $101,201M) and when considering financial strength (Alphabet has a higher cash position and a stronger credit rating by Moody&#39;s). This supports my investment thesis to prefer Alphabet over Meta.</p><h2><b>The Valuation of Alphabet and Meta</b></h2><p><b>Discounted Cash Flow [DCF]-Model</b></p><p>In terms of valuation, I have used the DCF Model to determine the intrinsic value of Alphabet and Meta. The method calculates a fair value of $141.71 for Alphabet and $190.02 for Meta. At the current stock prices, this gives Alphabet an upside of 42.90% and Meta an upside of 35.30%.</p><p>My calculations are based on the following assumptions as presented below (in $ millions except per share items):</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>Alphabet</b></p></td><td><p><b>Meta</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Company Ticker</p></td><td><p>GOOG</p></td><td><p>META</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Revenue Growth Rate for the next 5 years</p></td><td><p>8%</p></td><td><p>5%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>EBIT Growth Rate for the next 5 years</p></td><td><p>8%</p></td><td><p>5%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Tax Rate</p></td><td><p>15.7%</p></td><td><p>16.7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Discount Rate [WACC]</p></td><td><p>7.75%</p></td><td><p>7.75%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Perpetual Growth Rate</p></td><td><p>4%</p></td><td><p>3%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>EV/EBITDA Multiple</p></td><td><p>12x</p></td><td><p>7.2x</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Current Price/Share</p></td><td><p>$99.17</p></td><td><p>$140.41</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Shares Outstanding</p></td><td><p>13,044</p></td><td><p>2,688</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Debt</p></td><td><p>$28,810</p></td><td><p>$16,679</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Cash</p></td><td><p>$17,936</p></td><td><p>$12,681</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Capex</p></td><td><p>$29,816</p></td><td><p>$32,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: The Author</p><p>Based on the above, I calculated the following results:</p><p><b>Market Value vs. Intrinsic Value</b></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>Alphabet</b></p></td><td><p><b>Meta</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Market Value</p></td><td><p>$99.17</p></td><td><p>$140.41</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Upside</p></td><td><p>42.90%</p></td><td><p>35.30%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Intrinsic Value</p></td><td><p>$141.71</p></td><td><p>$190.02</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: The Author</p><p><b>Internal Rate of Return for Alphabet</b></p><p>TheInternal Rate of Return[IRR] is defined as the expected compound annual rate of return earned on an investment.

However, Alphabet&#39;s other business units are becoming more and more important (in 2Q22, Google Cloud accounted for 9% of Alphabet&#39;s total revenue while it was only 7.5% in the same quarter of the year before).</p><p>While having a deeper look into Meta&#39;s business, we find that its dependency on advertising is even higher than that of its competitor:98%of the company&#39;s revenue is generated by advertising from Facebook and Instagram.</p><p>This comparison of the companies&#39; advertising dependency indicates that a reduction in customer spending on marketing would impact Meta&#39;s business to a higher amount than it would affect Alphabet. Meta&#39;s significantly higher dependence on advertising contributes to the fact that I see an investment in Alphabet as being less risky.</p><p>Another additional risk factor when investing in Meta is the company&#39;s high spending to build the metaverse. In 2021 alone, the company spent about$10 billionthrough its Reality Labs division in order to build the metaverse. This amount is five times higher than what the company paid to buyOculus VR business in 2014and 10 times higher than the amountit paid to buy Instagramback in 2012. Although the investments could pay off in the future, they currently represent a risk for the shareholders due to the fact that the success of this project is not yet foreseeable.</p><p>Additionally, I see the effect that data privacy will continue to have on the operating results of Meta as an additional risk factor for the company. At the beginning of this year, Alphabet announced new privacy restrictions which cut tracking across apps on its Android devices, following a similar move to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). This resulted in a decrease of Meta&#39;s revenue by about$10 billion.</p><p>Summarizing, I see Alphabet as the lower-risk investment when compared with Meta, which once again underlines my thoughts on picking Alphabet out of the two. This lower risk also contributes to the fact that I would overweight the Alphabet position in an investment portfolio. On the other hand, the higher risk factors concerning Meta, contribute to my opinion of giving the company a small position in a long-term investment portfolio.</p><h2><b>The Bottom Line</b></h2><p>I consider the valuation of both Alphabet and Meta to currently be very appealing. However, when considering risk and reward, I came to the conclusion of selecting Alphabet over Meta. My opinion is based on the following facts and thoughts:</p><p>Alphabet&#39;s ROE of 29.22% is higher than the one of Meta (25.48%), implying that Alphabet is even more efficient in converting its equity financing into profits. Furthermore, Alphabet&#39;s Average EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] over the last three years of 33.92% is also higher than the one of Meta (which has an EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] of 22.80% over the same period).</p><p>Alphabet&#39;s higher brand value ($263,425M as compared to Meta&#39;s $101,201M), as well as its higher cash position ($124,997M in Total Cash &amp; ST Investments vs. $40,489M) and higher credit rating (Aa2 credit rating by Moody&#39;s compared to A1) additionally support my investment thesis to select the company over Meta.</p><p>My opinion is further underlined by the rating of the HQC Scorecard in which Alphabet scores 91/100 points while Meta scores 80/100. Additionally, the theory is strengthened by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, where Alphabet is ranked 2nd in the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is 14th (both out of 61).</p><p>When it comes to risk, I also see Alphabet as being ahead of Meta. Alphabet is less dependent on its advertising business: while 98% of Meta&#39;s revenue is from Facebook and Instagram advertising, Alphabet generates about 80% of its revenue from advertising. Furthermore, Alphabet is becoming more independent from its advertising business through the increasing revenue of its cloud business. In addition to that, Meta&#39;s high spending in the metaverse implies an additional risk factor for the Meta shareholder.</p><p>The investment thesis of selecting Alphabet over Meta is also reflected in my own personal long-term investment portfolio, in which Alphabet holds one of my largest positions, while Meta only has a small position. My investment decision has been based on the fact that I consider Alphabet to be significantly more attractive than Meta in terms of risk and reward.</p><p>Which is your favorite out of Alphabet and Meta?</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>Google Vs.

I consider Alphabet to be even more attractive when it comes to risk and reward.My investment thesis is underlined by the results of theHQC Scorecardin which Alphabet scores 91/100 while Meta scores 80/100. Furthermore, it is supported by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, in which Alphabet is ranked 2nd within the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is ranked 14th (both out of 61).At the current stock prices, I expect a compound annual rate of return of about 18% for Alphabet and one of 16% for Meta. Both are based on the calculations of my DCF Models.The Competitive Positions of Alphabet and MetaFor both Alphabet and Meta I see the enormous amount of data and their ability to analyse and use this data as strong competitive advantages over their rivals in the Interactive Media and Services Industry. In addition to that, both companies are among the top 10 of the world's most valuable brands: according toBrand Finance, Google is ranked 3rd with a brand value of $263,425M and Facebook is ranked 7th with a brand value of $101,201M.Both Alphabet and Meta have a proven ability of successfully integrating new businesses into their companies. One of Alphabet's most successful acquisitions was YouTube, for which the company paid $1.65 billion back in 2006. Meta acquired Instagram for$1.0 billionin 2012 and WhatsApp for$19 billionin 2014.The enormous financial strength of Alphabet and Meta provide them with another significant competitive advantage: while Alphabet has $124,997M in Total Cash & ST Investments at this moment in time, Meta currently disposes of $40,489M. Having a high amount of cash puts both companies in a position to make large acquisitions in order to ensure further future growth. This financial strength is also backed up by a Moody's credit rating of Aa2 for Alphabet and A1 for Meta.Both Alphabet and Meta have strong competitive advantages. However, I would like to summarize that Alphabet is slightly ahead of Meta when it comes to brand value (Alphabet has a brand value of $263,425M while the one of Facebook is $101,201M) and when considering financial strength (Alphabet has a higher cash position and a stronger credit rating by Moody's). This supports my investment thesis to prefer Alphabet over Meta.The Valuation of Alphabet and MetaDiscounted Cash Flow [DCF]-ModelIn terms of valuation, I have used the DCF Model to determine the intrinsic value of Alphabet and Meta. The method calculates a fair value of $141.71 for Alphabet and $190.02 for Meta. At the current stock prices, this gives Alphabet an upside of 42.90% and Meta an upside of 35.30%.My calculations are based on the following assumptions as presented below (in $ millions except per share items):AlphabetMetaCompany TickerGOOGMETARevenue Growth Rate for the next 5 years8%5%EBIT Growth Rate for the next 5 years8%5%Tax Rate15.7%16.7Discount Rate [WACC]7.75%7.75%Perpetual Growth Rate4%3%EV/EBITDA Multiple12x7.2xCurrent Price/Share$99.17$140.41Shares Outstanding13,0442,688Debt$28,810$16,679Cash$17,936$12,681Capex$29,816$32,000Source: The AuthorBased on the above, I calculated the following results:Market Value vs. Intrinsic ValueAlphabetMetaMarket Value$99.17$140.41Upside42.90%35.30%Intrinsic Value$141.71$190.02Source: The AuthorInternal Rate of Return for AlphabetTheInternal Rate of Return[IRR] is defined as the expected compound annual rate of return earned on an investment. Below you can find the Internal Rate of Return as according to my DCF Model (when assuming different purchase prices for the Alphabet stock).At Alphabet's current stock price of $99.17, my DCF Model indicates an Internal Rate of Return of approximately 18% for the company (while assuming a Revenue and EBIT Growth Rate of 8% for the next 5 years and a Perpetual Growth Rate of 4% afterwards). (In bold you can see the Internal Rate of Return for Alphabet's current stock price of $99.17.)

Meta currently has a slightly lower P/E [FWD] Ratio of 14.30 when compared to Alphabet (19.05).Although Meta's EBIT Margin (33.41% compared to Alphabet's 29.65%) and Free Cash Flow Yield [TTM] (9.27% compared to 4.97%) are higher, the following contributes to the fact that I would select Alphabet if I had to choose one of the two companies from the Interactive Media and Services Industry:Alphabet's ROE of 29.22% is higher than Meta's (25.48%), which implies that Alphabet is even more efficient in converting its equity financing into profits.Alphabet's Average EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] over the last three years of 33.92% is also higher than that of Meta (with an EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] of 22.80% in the same period of time).In addition to that, Alphabet's EPS Growth Rate Diluted [FWD] of 27.01% is higher than the one of Meta (3.12%), indicating that Alphabet is growing its profitability with a higher rate.Additionally, Alphabet's Free Cash Flow Per Share Growth Rate [FWD] of 24.39% is significantly superior to Meta's (4.23%), demonstrating that Alphabet's potential to produce cash and profits is growing faster than its rival's.This analysis of the companies' fundamentals strengthens my investment thesis that Alphabet is currently the more attractive of the two.

A score between 0 and 5 is given (with 0 being the lowest rating and 5 the highest) for each item on the Scorecard. Furthermore, you can see the conditions that must be met for each point of every rated item.\"Source: The AuthorAlphabet and Meta According to the HQC ScorecardSource: The AuthorAlthough both companies are rated as very attractive as according to the HQC Scorecard, Alphabet's overall score (91/100) is slightly higher than the one of Meta (80/100).In the category of Economic Moat, Alphabet scores 93/100 points while Meta only reaches 57/100.In terms of Financial Strength, both are rated as very attractive. These strong results are a consequence of both companies having a low Total Debt to Equity Ratio, as well as a high Current Ratio (Alphabet's is 2.81 and Meta's is 2.52), Quick Ratio (2.62 and 2.34) and Cash Ratio (2.0 and 1.8).In the category of Profitability, both companies are rated with 100/100 points, a result of having high EBIT Margins (Alphabet's is 29.65% and Meta's is 33.41%) and high ROE's (29.22% and 25.48%).For Valuation, Alphabet receives 80/100 while Meta gets 92/100. Meta's higher scoring in this category is a consequence of its even lower P/E [FWD] Ratio of 14.30 as compared to Alphabet's 19.05.For Growth, Alphabet receives 88/100 and Meta gets 76/100.For Expected Return, both receive 100/100 points, this is mostly due to the high Expected Internal Rate of Return for the companies as according to my DCF Model.Alphabet's higher overall rating (91/100) as according to the HQC Scorecard, strengthens my opinion of choosing the company over Meta at this moment in time.Alphabet and Meta According to the Seeking Alpha Quant Factor GradesWhen taking into consideration the Seeking Alpha Quant Factor Grades, we can see that Meta is rated slightly better in terms of Valuation (with a C-) as compared to Alphabet (D rating). In terms of Growth, however, Alphabet (C- rating) is better rated than Meta (D- rating). For Profitability, both companies receive an A+ rating. For Momentum, Alphabet is more appealing (C+) than Meta (C rating).Alphabet's better rating in terms of Growth and Momentum once again underlines my investment thesis.Source: Seeking AlphaAlphabet and Meta According to the Seeking Alpha Quant RankingMy investment thesis is also underlined by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking where Alphabet is ranked significantly better than Meta: while Alphabet is 2nd in the Interactive Media and Services Industry, Meta is ranked 14th (both out of 61). Within the Communication Services Sector, Alphabet is currently ranked 7th and Meta is in 52nd place (both out of 247). The Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking reinforces my opinion to select Alphabet over Meta.Source: Seeking AlphaAlphabet and Meta According to the Seeking Alpha Authors Rating and Wall Street Analysts RatingAs according to the Seeking Alpha Quant Rating, Alphabet is currently a strong buy and Meta a hold. The Seeking Alpha Authors rate both companies as a buy while the Wall Street Analysts rate Alphabet as a strong buy and Meta as a buy.Source: Seeking AlphaRisksOne of the main risk factors I see for both Alphabet and Meta is the fact that the largest portion of the companies' business results depend on advertising.When taking a closer look at Alphabet, it can be highlighted that80%of the company's revenue is generated by its business unit Google Advertising. However, Alphabet's other business units are becoming more and more important (in 2Q22, Google Cloud accounted for 9% of Alphabet's total revenue while it was only 7.5% in the same quarter of the year before).While having a deeper look into Meta's business, we find that its dependency on advertising is even higher than that of its competitor:98%of the company's revenue is generated by advertising from Facebook and Instagram.This comparison of the companies' advertising dependency indicates that a reduction in customer spending on marketing would impact Meta's business to a higher amount than it would affect Alphabet. Meta's significantly higher dependence on advertising contributes to the fact that I see an investment in Alphabet as being less risky.Another additional risk factor when investing in Meta is the company's high spending to build the metaverse. In 2021 alone, the company spent about$10 billionthrough its Reality Labs division in order to build the metaverse. This amount is five times higher than what the company paid to buyOculus VR business in 2014and 10 times higher than the amountit paid to buy Instagramback in 2012. Although the investments could pay off in the future, they currently represent a risk for the shareholders due to the fact that the success of this project is not yet foreseeable.Additionally, I see the effect that data privacy will continue to have on the operating results of Meta as an additional risk factor for the company. At the beginning of this year, Alphabet announced new privacy restrictions which cut tracking across apps on its Android devices, following a similar move to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). This resulted in a decrease of Meta's revenue by about$10 billion.Summarizing, I see Alphabet as the lower-risk investment when compared with Meta, which once again underlines my thoughts on picking Alphabet out of the two. This lower risk also contributes to the fact that I would overweight the Alphabet position in an investment portfolio. On the other hand, the higher risk factors concerning Meta, contribute to my opinion of giving the company a small position in a long-term investment portfolio.The Bottom LineI consider the valuation of both Alphabet and Meta to currently be very appealing. However, when considering risk and reward, I came to the conclusion of selecting Alphabet over Meta. My opinion is based on the following facts and thoughts:Alphabet's ROE of 29.22% is higher than the one of Meta (25.48%), implying that Alphabet is even more efficient in converting its equity financing into profits. Furthermore, Alphabet's Average EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] over the last three years of 33.92% is also higher than the one of Meta (which has an EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] of 22.80% over the same period).Alphabet's higher brand value ($263,425M as compared to Meta's $101,201M), as well as its higher cash position ($124,997M in Total Cash & ST Investments vs. $40,489M) and higher credit rating (Aa2 credit rating by Moody's compared to A1) additionally support my investment thesis to select the company over Meta.My opinion is further underlined by the rating of the HQC Scorecard in which Alphabet scores 91/100 points while Meta scores 80/100. Additionally, the theory is strengthened by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, where Alphabet is ranked 2nd in the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is 14th (both out of 61).When it comes to risk, I also see Alphabet as being ahead of Meta. Alphabet is less dependent on its advertising business: while 98% of Meta's revenue is from Facebook and Instagram advertising, Alphabet generates about 80% of its revenue from advertising. Furthermore, Alphabet is becoming more independent from its advertising business through the increasing revenue of its cloud business. In addition to that, Meta's high spending in the metaverse implies an additional risk factor for the Meta shareholder.The investment thesis of selecting Alphabet over Meta is also reflected in my own personal long-term investment portfolio, in which Alphabet holds one of my largest positions, while Meta only has a small position. My investment decision has been based on the fact that I consider Alphabet to be significantly more attractive than Meta in terms of risk and reward.Which is your favorite out of Alphabet and Meta?","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":463,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9918422339,"gmtCreate":1664437069722,"gmtModify":1676537455247,"author":{"id":"4126956022313922","authorId":"4126956022313922","name":"Julianw","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b3e5ee8e00fbd5d2d070fb101e902b5d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4126956022313922","authorIdStr":"4126956022313922"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I would agree on Nike, I must say 👍","listText":"I would agree on Nike, I must say 👍","text":"I would agree on Nike, I must say 👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9918422339","repostId":"2270628738","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2270628738","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1664431095,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2270628738?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-29 13:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dow Jones Bear Market: 2 Stocks That are Too Cheap to Ignore","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2270628738","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"It's time to go bargain hunting.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Even some of the strongest of companies haven&#39;t escaped the market downturn.

But today represents a very reasonable time to get in on this promising long-term story.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":545,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9918807517,"gmtCreate":1664348659039,"gmtModify":1676537438150,"author":{"id":"4126956022313922","authorId":"4126956022313922","name":"Julianw","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b3e5ee8e00fbd5d2d070fb101e902b5d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4126956022313922","authorIdStr":"4126956022313922"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Not too sure about Netflix now, but apple is definitely worth investing.&nbsp;","listText":"Not too sure about Netflix now, but apple is definitely worth investing.&nbsp;","text":"Not too sure about Netflix now, but apple is definitely worth investing.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9918807517","repostId":"2270270609","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2270270609","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1664342760,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2270270609?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-28 13:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The 10 Hottest Stocks for the Long Haul","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2270270609","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Despite tumbles this year, Amazon.com, Nvidia, and Netflix are the top-performing stocks over the pa","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Despite tumbles this year, Amazon.com, Nvidia, and Netflix are the top-performing stocks over the past three decades, highlighting the value of holding top-quality names regardless of the short-term challenges companies face.</p><p>The tally is based on analysis by Charlie Bilello, the founder of Compound Capital Advisors, who posted his figures on Twitter.

","content":"<html><body><p><img src=\"https://edgemarkets-transferred.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/Singapore+Airlines_9.jpg\"/> The resumption of tourism and large events in Singapore is expected to give SIA a much needed boost. </p><p>Thanks to the post-Covid boom in the tourism sector, KGI Research is keeping its “buy” call on Singapore Airlines (SIA) with a target price of $5.50. KGI also has an entry price of $5.28 and a stop loss price of $5.17. It has also noted that Bloomberg consensus average 12-month target price is $5.86 for SIA.</p>\n<p>According to statistics by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), there has been an exponential increase in visitor arrivals this year. This increase was thanks to the reopening of Singapore’s borders to vaccinated travellers without quarantine in April.</p>\n<p>Between January and August this year, there were a total of about 2.96 million visitors, a y-o-y increase of 1,833% as compared to the same period in 2021. In August alone, Singapore welcomed approximately 729,000 visitors. However, this sentiment may be slowing down as visitor growth only saw a slight increase of 2,000 visitors from July to August.</p>\n<p>With the travel resumption, SIA has benefited from the growth in passenger traffic. It more than doubled its monthly available seat kilometres and boosted the number of passengers it flew by more than ten-fold. “With both business and leisure travellers increasing, the airline will have to manage resources and manning shortages well,” says KGI, as labour issues plague several industries in Singapore.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, KGI believes that aviation will continue to recover as it sees more borders opening up and people take advantage of their freedom to travel.</p>\n<p>Additionally, with the upcoming events to be held in Singapore and the year-end holiday season coming up, the research house expects travel demand to remain robust for the rest of the year.</p>\n<p>To be sure, STB is expecting the events industry at large to post a strong recovery this year. Already, the Singapore Grand Prix F1 Race 2022 is back after a two year hiatus. Happening from Sept 23 to Oct 2, this is one of Singapore’s largest global events, as historical data shows that around 40% of those attending the race are from overseas, while the attendance for the race days can range between 250,000 to 300,000. According to STB, since its debut in 2008, the race has generated more than $1.5 billion in incremental tourism receipts and attracted more than 550,000 unique international visitors.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, STB is also expecting the meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) industry to see a comeback, expecting a full recovery for the MICE sector in two to three years. Already, STB boasts a strong pipeline of events for the rest of this year, including some of its large events such as Food and Hotel Asia (FHA), World Cities Summit, Asia CEO Summit and more.</p>\n<p><strong>SIA’s growth intact</strong></p>\n<p>The SIA Group has over 20 subsidiaries, covering a range of airline-related services, from cargo to engine overhaul.

Thanks to the post-Covid boom in the tourism sector, KGI Research is keeping its “buy” call on Singapore Airlines (SIA) with a target price of $5.50. KGI also has an entry price of $5.28 and a stop loss price of $5.17. It has also noted that Bloomberg consensus average 12-month target price is $5.86 for SIA.\nAccording to statistics by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), there has been an exponential increase in visitor arrivals this year. This increase was thanks to the reopening of Singapore’s borders to vaccinated travellers without quarantine in April.\nBetween January and August this year, there were a total of about 2.96 million visitors, a y-o-y increase of 1,833% as compared to the same period in 2021. In August alone, Singapore welcomed approximately 729,000 visitors. However, this sentiment may be slowing down as visitor growth only saw a slight increase of 2,000 visitors from July to August.\nWith the travel resumption, SIA has benefited from the growth in passenger traffic. It more than doubled its monthly available seat kilometres and boosted the number of passengers it flew by more than ten-fold. “With both business and leisure travellers increasing, the airline will have to manage resources and manning shortages well,” says KGI, as labour issues plague several industries in Singapore.\nNonetheless, KGI believes that aviation will continue to recover as it sees more borders opening up and people take advantage of their freedom to travel.\nAdditionally, with the upcoming events to be held in Singapore and the year-end holiday season coming up, the research house expects travel demand to remain robust for the rest of the year.\nTo be sure, STB is expecting the events industry at large to post a strong recovery this year. Already, the Singapore Grand Prix F1 Race 2022 is back after a two year hiatus. Happening from Sept 23 to Oct 2, this is one of Singapore’s largest global events, as historical data shows that around 40% of those attending the race are from overseas, while the attendance for the race days can range between 250,000 to 300,000. According to STB, since its debut in 2008, the race has generated more than $1.5 billion in incremental tourism receipts and attracted more than 550,000 unique international visitors.\nMeanwhile, STB is also expecting the meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) industry to see a comeback, expecting a full recovery for the MICE sector in two to three years. Already, STB boasts a strong pipeline of events for the rest of this year, including some of its large events such as Food and Hotel Asia (FHA), World Cities Summit, Asia CEO Summit and more.\nSIA’s growth intact\nThe SIA Group has over 20 subsidiaries, covering a range of airline-related services, from cargo to engine overhaul. Its subsidiaries also include SIA Engineering Company, Scoot, Tiger Airways, Singapore Flying College and Tradewinds Tours and Travel. Principal activities of the group consist of air transportation, engineering services and other airline related activities.\nIn its latest 1QFY2023 ended June, the local carrier recorded net profit of $370 million, bouncing back from a $409 million loss in the previous year, thanks to the sharp revival in travel demand following borders reopening. Additionally, SIA’s operating statistics showed significant m-o-m passenger traffic growth since April, with August seeing a tapered increase.\nAs at 2.10pm, shares in SIA are trading at $5.30.\nPhoto: Bloomberg","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":420,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9918023297,"gmtCreate":1664287648919,"gmtModify":1676537426016,"author":{"id":"4126956022313922","authorId":"4126956022313922","name":"Julianw","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b3e5ee8e00fbd5d2d070fb101e902b5d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4126956022313922","authorIdStr":"4126956022313922"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thank you for sharing!

That&#39;s a rock-solid return, but investors could have fared even better if they had simply bought and held a few individual stocks.</p><p>For example, a $5,000 investment in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon </a> would have grown over the past decade to around $44,000, while the same investment in Google (whose parent company is now called <b>Alphabet</b>) would be worth nearly $27,000 today. Not every stock will be the next Amazon or Alphabet, but some lucrative long-term buying opportunities have emerged in the growing cloud, semiconductor, and ad-tech markets as the grueling bear market drags on.</p><h2>1. The cloud play: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a></h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a> owns Azure, the second-largest cloud infrastructure platform in the world after Amazon Web Services (AWS). Microsoft enjoys two advantages against Amazon in the cloud market: Azure is growing faster than AWS, and it&#39;s a popular choice for companies (particularly retailers) that directly compete against Amazon&#39;s other businesses.</p><p>Microsoft also represents a more straightforward play on the growing cloud market because it isn&#39;t burdened by a lower-margin retail business like Amazon. Its cloud services, which generated nearly half its revenue last quarter, also directly support its desktop software, mobile apps, Windows operating system, and Xbox gaming business.</p><p>Microsoft&#39;s expansion of its cloud ecosystem, which was largely executed under CEO Satya Nadella, transformed it from a dusty old tech stock into a high-growth company again. Analysts expect its annual revenue to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13% between fiscal 2022 (which ended in June) and fiscal 2025, and for its earnings per share (EPS) to grow at a CAGR of 13%. Those solid growth rates, which should be supported by its ongoing dominance of the enterprise software market, make it a great long-term investment.</p><h2>2. The chip play: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ASML\">ASML Holding</a></h2><p>For investors who want exposure to the semiconductor sector but are intimidated by the cutthroat competition between individual chipmakers, <b>ASML Holding </b>(ASML) is an ideal investment. The Dutch company is the largest supplier of photolithography systems, which are used to etch circuit patterns onto silicon wafers, and the only producer of EUV (extreme ultraviolet) systems, which cost $200 million each and are required to manufacture the world&#39;s smallest and densest chips.</p><p>ASML&#39;s top customers include the three most advanced chip foundries in the world: <b>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing</b>, <b>Samsung</b>, and<b> Intel</b>. Most fabless chipmakers -- such as <b>Advanced Micro Devices</b>, <b>Nvidia</b>, and <b>Qualcomm</b> -- rely on those foundries to manufacture their top-tier chips. In other words, it would be impossible to produce new cutting-edge chips without ASML&#39;s machines.</p><p>ASML&#39;s monopolization of this market makes it a wonderful long-term investment, even if the chip sector struggles with near-term cyclical headwinds. Between 2021 and 2024, analysts expect its revenue and EPS to grow at a CAGR of 15% and 17%, respectively. That steady growth makes it a top investment in the secular growth of the semiconductor market.</p><h2>3. The ad-tech play: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MGNI\">Magnite</a></h2><p><b>Magnite</b> (MGNI) is the world&#39;s largest independent sell-side platform (SSP) for digital ads. SSPs, which shouldn&#39;t be confused with demand-side platforms like <b>The Trade Desk</b>, help publishers manage and sell their own ad inventories.</p><p>Magnite emerged from the merger of two other ad-tech companies, The Rubicon Project and Telaria, back in 2020. It subsequently acquired several additional companies to increase its exposure to the CTV (connected TV) market.</p><p>Magnite&#39;s acquisitions obfuscated its organic growth rates, and macro headwinds throttled the growth of its desktop, mobile, and CTV ads over the past year. However, Magnite expects to overcome those near-term challenges and eventually generate more than 25% annual revenue growth organically over the long term as its CTV segment expands. It also expects its adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) margin to stay between 35%-40%.</p><p>Analysts expect its annual revenue and adjusted EBITDA to both grow at a CAGR of 19% from 2021 to 2024, and for its adjusted EBITDA margin to stay at around 36% through the final year. If those more conservative estimates are accurate, Magnite&#39;s stock remains deeply undervalued at less than two times this year&#39;s sales and five times its adjusted EBITDA.</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>Got $5,000? 3 Tech Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Long Term</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\">\nGot $5,000? 3 Tech Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Long Term\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-27 23:16 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/26/got-5000-tech-stocks-buy-and-hold-for-long-term/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If you'd invested $5,000 in an S&P 500 index fund 10 years ago, your investment would be worth around $12,500 today.

They have offered compelling returns in the past and are highly liquid. Two of those are active in the emerging autonomous driving space: Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL) via its Waymo subsidiary, and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), via its Autopilot/FSD program. In this article, we&#39;ll look at the opportunities and risks of both companies to see which one is a more promising investment at current prices.</p><h2>How Did Tesla And Google Perform Following Their Recent Stock Splits?</h2><p>Both companies split their shares not too long ago, in a bid to bring down their share prices to a more &#34;normal&#34; level. Potential index inclusion in the Dow Jones, which is price-weighted, likely also played a role in their decisions to split their shares.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caa75f6003a8a5d8ae349b6c8fe75231\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"826\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>So far this year, both companies have seen their shares drop, with TSLA being down 12% while GOOG is down almost 30% in 2022. Alphabet split its shares in mid-July and has declined slightly since then, while Tesla split its shares in early August. Prior to that stock split, Tesla&#39;s shares experienced a run-up, but since then, they moved mostly sideways. From a near-term share price perspective, these stock splits were thus not successful, but buying purely due to a stock split isn&#39;t a great investment approach anyway.</p><h2>Competitors In The Self-Driving Automobile Realm</h2><p>The two companies aren&#39;t competitors with everything they do, as Alphabet is mostly an online advertising company, while Tesla primarily is a car manufacturer. Nevertheless, the two compete in a prominent, fast-growing, and potentially very promising (in an economic sense) area, which is self-driving automobile technology.</p><p>Alphabet has been active in this space for quite some time via its Waymo subsidiary. Tesla has ambitious goals in this space as well, which it pursues via its self-driving tech program Autopilot/FSD.</p><p>No one knows when the first automobile with Level 5 self-driving technology will be available, or which company will produce it. But it is pretty clear that there are some companies that are in strong positions today and that could be important contenders for that title.</p><p>The following image shows a list of companies that have been approved for testing their vehicles in California without a driver. Some of those companies are even allowed to deploy their tech in the state:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e6b26f22348c751bc1e1839280d47756\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"768\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>ca.gov</span></p><p>We see that Google&#39;s Waymo holds the permit in both groups, as do Nuro and GM&#39;s (GM) Cruise. It seems reasonable to me to assume that the companies with the most advantaged permits are the companies with the most advantaged tech. A couple of other companies are allowed to test their tech in vehicles without a driver, including WeRide and Zoox. Notably, Tesla is not among these companies. It holds a permit to test its technology in California, but only in vehicles with a driver. A total of 50 companies hold that permit according to the government website, thus we can say that holding this permit is &#34;nothing special&#34;. Many of Tesla&#39;s peers, including Mercedes-Benz (OTCPK:MBGYY) and NIO (NIO), hold the same permit.</p><p>From a regulatory viewpoint, Alphabet&#39;s offering in this space seems way more advantaged -- it stands out among the dozens of companies that are active in self-driving tech, while Tesla seems to be in the middle of the pack. The same holds true when we look at commercialization.</p><p>While Tesla demands money from buyers of its tech even though that is only in beta testing, it is not allowed to commercialize it in a robo-taxi way. Waymo, on the other hand, has deployed its self-driving taxis in several cities including San Francisco, where riders can book rides via Alphabet&#39;s apps.</p><p>Of course, there is no guarantee that Alphabet&#39;s lead will hold. It is possible that Tesla eventually manages to hit a home run with its tech. But to me, it does not look like this is the most likely scenario -- it seems more reasonable (to me) to assume that the current leaders with the most advantaged projects will continue to hold their leadership position in this space.</p><h2>Alphabet And Tesla Stock Key Metrics</h2><p>Both companies have seen their shares drop back this year, which means that their valuations have compressed. In other words, both stocks are cheaper today than they were at the beginning of the year, although that does not necessarily mean that they are cheap in absolute terms.</p><p>Looking at the earnings multiple for the current year, Alphabet seems quite inexpensive, while Tesla still trades at a premium valuation:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8c39d06b8d89aa8f183775878ff7fc9d\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"892\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Alphabet is trading at less than 20x forward net profit, for an earnings yield of 5%. Tesla is trading at around 3.5x that valuation, as its earnings yield is in the 1.5% range as its earnings multiple still is north of 70. Of course, one can argue that free cash flows are even more important than net profits. After all, dividends and buybacks are financed with (free) cash, and debt reduction, acquisitions, etc. also depend on a company&#39;s ability to throw off cash. In that regard, Alphabet looks even better relative to Tesla. Alphabet&#39;s free cash flows are relatively comparable to its net profits, as the trailing free cash flow yield is in the 5% range as well.</p><p>The same does not hold true for Tesla, as its free cash flow yield of not even 0.7% is just half as high as its earnings yield. The big discrepancy can be explained by the capital-intense nature of the automobile industry. Factories need to be built and retooled regularly, the companies in this space need large amounts of working capital for unfinished products, raw materials, and so on. That&#39;s why free cash generation generally is weak in the automobile space, thus this is not a Tesla-specific issue. Instead, Tesla is just performing in line with other automobile companies that have weak cash generation. Alphabet does not need to spend heavily on raw materials, factories, factory retooling, and so on. Its business model is much more shareholder-friendly as operations can be scaled up efficiently without large capital expenditure requirements -- letting users stream one more video on YouTube or see one more ad on Google does not require any meaningful cash outlays on Alphabet&#39;s side.</p><p>Not only does Alphabet look much cheaper than Tesla, but its way stronger free cash generation has also resulted in a way better balance sheet.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/674770fc1359e36cc518d1501437fa47\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"892\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Tesla has a $16 billion net cash position, which is quite solid. But that&#39;s less than 2% of Tesla&#39;s market capitalization. Meanwhile, GOOG has a net cash position of $112 billion, which is 7x as much as what Tesla has, and which is equal to more than 8% of Alphabet&#39;s market capitalization. Alphabet thus has much more financial firepower for shareholder returns, e.g. via buybacks, for acquisitions, and last but not least, its huge net cash position reduces risks considerably. In case we see a steep global economic downturn, Alphabet&#39;s more than $100 billion in net cash insulates the company very well from financial troubles, while Tesla would be more exposed -- not only is its cash &#34;safety net&#34; much smaller, but the automobile industry is also more cyclical and vulnerable to recessions relative to the software and communication services industries. In recent weeks we possibly got a glimpse of that, as delivery times for many of Tesla&#39;s models declined to just a couple of weeks -- that could be the result of increasing reluctance by consumers to spend heavily on a new vehicle in the current economic climate.</p><p>When we account for the net cash positions of both companies, Alphabet&#39;s undemanding valuation drops to an even lower level:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/52a566129c9826a9725931bb8bff600d\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"826\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>At just 12x trailing EBITDA, Alphabet trades at a pretty undemanding valuation, especially when we account for its market leadership and healthy growth. Tesla is trading at 5x Alphabet&#39;s EV/EBITDA multiple. It has pretty strong growth as well, at least in the past (see the aforementioned backlog decline and vulnerability to an economic downturn). But with its way weaker cash generation, lower margins, intensifying competitive pressures, and weaker self-driving tech, the current valuation does not seem attractive. One can argue that Tesla would be very attractive at a 12x EBITDA multiple, but at 5x the valuation of Alphabet, Alphabet looks like a significantly more compelling choice to me.</p><h2>Is Alphabet Or Tesla The Better Long-Term Buy?</h2><p>Some Tesla bulls mainly are in it for Tesla&#39;s self-driving potential.

These things hold true for Tesla as well, even though it&#39;s not a legacy automobile company. Tesla has a strong brand in the EV space, but competitive pressures are rising, and BYD (OTCPK:BYDDY) has overtaken it already in total EV sales (including plug-in hybrids). Due to these reasons, I believe that Alphabet is more suitable for a long-term investment. Since it is also way cheaper than Tesla while being one of just a few companies with self-driving cars deployed commercially, I favor it over Tesla.</p><p>This article is written by Jonathan Weber for reference only.</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>Google Vs.

Both GOOG and TSLA belong to that group.Both have done a stock split recently and both compete in the self-driving automobile space. How do they compare?What about their valuations, recession resilience, balance sheet strength, and cash flow? Which company looks like the better choice at current prices?gorodenkoffArticle ThesisMega-caps have been popular among investors, and rightfully so. They have offered compelling returns in the past and are highly liquid. Two of those are active in the emerging autonomous driving space: Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL) via its Waymo subsidiary, and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), via its Autopilot/FSD program. In this article, we'll look at the opportunities and risks of both companies to see which one is a more promising investment at current prices.How Did Tesla And Google Perform Following Their Recent Stock Splits?Both companies split their shares not too long ago, in a bid to bring down their share prices to a more \"normal\" level. Potential index inclusion in the Dow Jones, which is price-weighted, likely also played a role in their decisions to split their shares.Data by YChartsSo far this year, both companies have seen their shares drop, with TSLA being down 12% while GOOG is down almost 30% in 2022. Alphabet split its shares in mid-July and has declined slightly since then, while Tesla split its shares in early August. Prior to that stock split, Tesla's shares experienced a run-up, but since then, they moved mostly sideways. From a near-term share price perspective, these stock splits were thus not successful, but buying purely due to a stock split isn't a great investment approach anyway.Competitors In The Self-Driving Automobile RealmThe two companies aren't competitors with everything they do, as Alphabet is mostly an online advertising company, while Tesla primarily is a car manufacturer. Nevertheless, the two compete in a prominent, fast-growing, and potentially very promising (in an economic sense) area, which is self-driving automobile technology.Alphabet has been active in this space for quite some time via its Waymo subsidiary. Tesla has ambitious goals in this space as well, which it pursues via its self-driving tech program Autopilot/FSD.No one knows when the first automobile with Level 5 self-driving technology will be available, or which company will produce it. But it is pretty clear that there are some companies that are in strong positions today and that could be important contenders for that title.The following image shows a list of companies that have been approved for testing their vehicles in California without a driver. Some of those companies are even allowed to deploy their tech in the state:ca.govWe see that Google's Waymo holds the permit in both groups, as do Nuro and GM's (GM) Cruise. It seems reasonable to me to assume that the companies with the most advantaged permits are the companies with the most advantaged tech. A couple of other companies are allowed to test their tech in vehicles without a driver, including WeRide and Zoox. Notably, Tesla is not among these companies. It holds a permit to test its technology in California, but only in vehicles with a driver. A total of 50 companies hold that permit according to the government website, thus we can say that holding this permit is \"nothing special\". Many of Tesla's peers, including Mercedes-Benz (OTCPK:MBGYY) and NIO (NIO), hold the same permit.From a regulatory viewpoint, Alphabet's offering in this space seems way more advantaged -- it stands out among the dozens of companies that are active in self-driving tech, while Tesla seems to be in the middle of the pack. The same holds true when we look at commercialization.While Tesla demands money from buyers of its tech even though that is only in beta testing, it is not allowed to commercialize it in a robo-taxi way. Waymo, on the other hand, has deployed its self-driving taxis in several cities including San Francisco, where riders can book rides via Alphabet's apps.Of course, there is no guarantee that Alphabet's lead will hold. It is possible that Tesla eventually manages to hit a home run with its tech. But to me, it does not look like this is the most likely scenario -- it seems more reasonable (to me) to assume that the current leaders with the most advantaged projects will continue to hold their leadership position in this space.Alphabet And Tesla Stock Key MetricsBoth companies have seen their shares drop back this year, which means that their valuations have compressed. In other words, both stocks are cheaper today than they were at the beginning of the year, although that does not necessarily mean that they are cheap in absolute terms.Looking at the earnings multiple for the current year, Alphabet seems quite inexpensive, while Tesla still trades at a premium valuation:Data by YChartsAlphabet is trading at less than 20x forward net profit, for an earnings yield of 5%. Tesla is trading at around 3.5x that valuation, as its earnings yield is in the 1.5% range as its earnings multiple still is north of 70. Of course, one can argue that free cash flows are even more important than net profits. After all, dividends and buybacks are financed with (free) cash, and debt reduction, acquisitions, etc. also depend on a company's ability to throw off cash. In that regard, Alphabet looks even better relative to Tesla. Alphabet's free cash flows are relatively comparable to its net profits, as the trailing free cash flow yield is in the 5% range as well.The same does not hold true for Tesla, as its free cash flow yield of not even 0.7% is just half as high as its earnings yield. The big discrepancy can be explained by the capital-intense nature of the automobile industry. Factories need to be built and retooled regularly, the companies in this space need large amounts of working capital for unfinished products, raw materials, and so on. That's why free cash generation generally is weak in the automobile space, thus this is not a Tesla-specific issue. Instead, Tesla is just performing in line with other automobile companies that have weak cash generation. Alphabet does not need to spend heavily on raw materials, factories, factory retooling, and so on. Its business model is much more shareholder-friendly as operations can be scaled up efficiently without large capital expenditure requirements -- letting users stream one more video on YouTube or see one more ad on Google does not require any meaningful cash outlays on Alphabet's side.Not only does Alphabet look much cheaper than Tesla, but its way stronger free cash generation has also resulted in a way better balance sheet.Data by YChartsTesla has a $16 billion net cash position, which is quite solid. But that's less than 2% of Tesla's market capitalization. Meanwhile, GOOG has a net cash position of $112 billion, which is 7x as much as what Tesla has, and which is equal to more than 8% of Alphabet's market capitalization. Alphabet thus has much more financial firepower for shareholder returns, e.g. via buybacks, for acquisitions, and last but not least, its huge net cash position reduces risks considerably. In case we see a steep global economic downturn, Alphabet's more than $100 billion in net cash insulates the company very well from financial troubles, while Tesla would be more exposed -- not only is its cash \"safety net\" much smaller, but the automobile industry is also more cyclical and vulnerable to recessions relative to the software and communication services industries. In recent weeks we possibly got a glimpse of that, as delivery times for many of Tesla's models declined to just a couple of weeks -- that could be the result of increasing reluctance by consumers to spend heavily on a new vehicle in the current economic climate.When we account for the net cash positions of both companies, Alphabet's undemanding valuation drops to an even lower level:Data by YChartsAt just 12x trailing EBITDA, Alphabet trades at a pretty undemanding valuation, especially when we account for its market leadership and healthy growth. Tesla is trading at 5x Alphabet's EV/EBITDA multiple. It has pretty strong growth as well, at least in the past (see the aforementioned backlog decline and vulnerability to an economic downturn). But with its way weaker cash generation, lower margins, intensifying competitive pressures, and weaker self-driving tech, the current valuation does not seem attractive. One can argue that Tesla would be very attractive at a 12x EBITDA multiple, but at 5x the valuation of Alphabet, Alphabet looks like a significantly more compelling choice to me.Is Alphabet Or Tesla The Better Long-Term Buy?Some Tesla bulls mainly are in it for Tesla's self-driving potential. I don't think Tesla is in a leadership position here, but it is of course possible that the company becomes more successful over time. In case it manages to solve true self-driving anywhere before anyone else, that would result in a lot of earnings potential. But betting on that is not my investment style, and Tesla wouldn't be my first choice even if I wanted to bet on any company solely for its autonomous driving tech.The software/communication services industries offer great margins, strong free cash generation, and long-term growth potential.

J.P. Morgan’sAlex Yao has an idea. The analyst believes “sentiment-driven fund flow is the current key share price driver and revenue recovery is the key determinant of market sentiment.”That is a bit of problem, then. Because Yao expects weak China consumption in the September quarter (F2Q23) to impact the revenue outlook.Since late August, Covid has once again been a disruptive force in a host of cities across China, and as such, Yao expects “limited improvement” in Alibaba’s core-core CMR (customer-management revenue) compared to the June quarter.The analyst sees the September quarter’s CMR falling by 4% from the same period last year, hardly any better than the June quarter’s 5% drop. On account of “low visibility of consumer sentiment improvement” or any relaxion of the Covid policies, the decline will continue in the December quarter, albeit at a slower pace (Yao expects a 2% year-over-year decline vs. anticipation of a positive turn previously).In contrast, given Alibaba’s firm commitment to cost-cutting and efficiency-improving measures, Yao sees “potential upside to consensus bottom-line projections.”However, that might not have enough of a positive effect right now. “Alibaba’s weakening revenue outlook in the near term could continue to weigh on the share price despite an unchanged, or even potentially better, profit outlook,” the analyst said, before summing up, “Nonetheless, we believe Alibaba’s share price is attractive on a 12-month view on 1) profit growth recovery to 20%+ in FY2024, 2) current consensus FY2024 PE of only 9x.”To this end, Yao rates BABA shares an Overweight (i.e., Buy) along with a $135 price target. This figure leaves room for 12-month share appreciation of ~69%. Yao’s rating stays an Overweight (i.e., Buy).Overall, Wall Street takes a bullish stance on Alibaba shares. 17 Buys and 1 Sell issued over the previous three months, making the stock a Strong Buy. Meanwhile, the $149.06 average price target suggests ~86% upside from current levels.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":553,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9913430061,"gmtCreate":1664039083353,"gmtModify":1676537382231,"author":{"id":"4126956022313922","authorId":"4126956022313922","name":"Julianw","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b3e5ee8e00fbd5d2d070fb101e902b5d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4126956022313922","idStr":"4126956022313922"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Now is a good time to buy, but must be able to hold for a while.&nbsp; Is that right?&nbsp;","listText":"Now is a good time to buy, but must be able to hold for a while.&nbsp; Is that right?&nbsp;","text":"Now is a good time to buy, but must be able to hold for a while.

Even if the market is beginning a longer-term recovery, it won't be obvious immediately -- and you shouldn't expect to see the market keep soaring day after day.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":608,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4114498221568562","authorId":"4114498221568562","name":"Ragz","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b4ff9d535326b2e5c1e196c2eaee90d6","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"authorIdStr":"4114498221568562","idStr":"4114498221568562"},"content":"The bear is very much alive","text":"The bear is very much alive","html":"The bear is very much alive"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9918023297,"gmtCreate":1664287648919,"gmtModify":1676537426016,"author":{"id":"4126956022313922","authorId":"4126956022313922","name":"Julianw","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b3e5ee8e00fbd5d2d070fb101e902b5d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4126956022313922","idStr":"4126956022313922"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thank you for sharing!

Not every stock will be the next Amazon or Alphabet, but some lucrative long-term buying opportunities have emerged in the growing cloud, semiconductor, and ad-tech markets as the grueling bear market drags on.</p><h2>1. The cloud play: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a></h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a> owns Azure, the second-largest cloud infrastructure platform in the world after Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Its cloud services, which generated nearly half its revenue last quarter, also directly support its desktop software, mobile apps, Windows operating system, and Xbox gaming business.</p><p>Microsoft&#39;s expansion of its cloud ecosystem, which was largely executed under CEO Satya Nadella, transformed it from a dusty old tech stock into a high-growth company again. Analysts expect its annual revenue to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13% between fiscal 2022 (which ended in June) and fiscal 2025, and for its earnings per share (EPS) to grow at a CAGR of 13%. Those solid growth rates, which should be supported by its ongoing dominance of the enterprise software market, make it a great long-term investment.</p><h2>2. The chip play: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ASML\">ASML Holding</a></h2><p>For investors who want exposure to the semiconductor sector but are intimidated by the cutthroat competition between individual chipmakers, <b>ASML Holding </b>(ASML) is an ideal investment. The Dutch company is the largest supplier of photolithography systems, which are used to etch circuit patterns onto silicon wafers, and the only producer of EUV (extreme ultraviolet) systems, which cost $200 million each and are required to manufacture the world&#39;s smallest and densest chips.</p><p>ASML&#39;s top customers include the three most advanced chip foundries in the world: <b>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing</b>, <b>Samsung</b>, and<b> Intel</b>. Most fabless chipmakers -- such as <b>Advanced Micro Devices</b>, <b>Nvidia</b>, and <b>Qualcomm</b> -- rely on those foundries to manufacture their top-tier chips. In other words, it would be impossible to produce new cutting-edge chips without ASML&#39;s machines.</p><p>ASML&#39;s monopolization of this market makes it a wonderful long-term investment, even if the chip sector struggles with near-term cyclical headwinds. Between 2021 and 2024, analysts expect its revenue and EPS to grow at a CAGR of 15% and 17%, respectively. That steady growth makes it a top investment in the secular growth of the semiconductor market.</p><h2>3. The ad-tech play: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MGNI\">Magnite</a></h2><p><b>Magnite</b> (MGNI) is the world&#39;s largest independent sell-side platform (SSP) for digital ads. SSPs, which shouldn&#39;t be confused with demand-side platforms like <b>The Trade Desk</b>, help publishers manage and sell their own ad inventories.</p><p>Magnite emerged from the merger of two other ad-tech companies, The Rubicon Project and Telaria, back in 2020. It subsequently acquired several additional companies to increase its exposure to the CTV (connected TV) market.</p><p>Magnite&#39;s acquisitions obfuscated its organic growth rates, and macro headwinds throttled the growth of its desktop, mobile, and CTV ads over the past year. However, Magnite expects to overcome those near-term challenges and eventually generate more than 25% annual revenue growth organically over the long term as its CTV segment expands. It also expects its adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) margin to stay between 35%-40%.</p><p>Analysts expect its annual revenue and adjusted EBITDA to both grow at a CAGR of 19% from 2021 to 2024, and for its adjusted EBITDA margin to stay at around 36% through the final year.

Here&#39;s why three Motley Fool contributors believe these stocks will rebound and pay off for investors over the long term.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CHWY\">Chewy</a>: Repeat customers will bring the stock back up</h2><p><b>John Ballard (Chewy):</b> Chewy stock has fallen 70% from its all-time high in 2021, yet sales have continued to grow. The company&#39;s recurring revenue from customers who have pet food automatically shipped to their door every month gives Chewy a major advantage in the faltering economy.</p><p>No matter how weak the economy gets, pet owners have to buy pet food and Chewy makes it easy. In the most recently reported six-month period, Autoship sales totaled 72.6% of Chewy&#39;s business, up from 69.8% in the year-ago period.  Chewy continues to expand beyond hard goods to services, such as pet insurance and healthcare, which could significantly expand its profit margin, as it already seems to be doing.</p><p>In the most recently reported six-month period, profit margin reached 0.8%. That is a healthy jump over the 0.5% in the year-ago quarter, which translates to an 85% year-over-year increase in profit dollars.</p><p>Besides expanding into insurance and healthcare, Chewy has several other areas it is investing in to reduce costs and improve margins, such as expanding fulfillment capacity and improving transportation efficiency in moving inventory around the country.</p><p>Chewy is building an e-commerce machine. Pet owners love the convenience of keeping their preferred pet food brands on a recurring shipment, and management is leveraging that customer loyalty with ancillary services that should rapidly grow profits and send the stock higher over time. These qualities make Chewy a no-brainer buy in this market.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RVLV\">Revolve</a>: Buy now before this company takes over shopping</h2><p><b>Jennifer Saibil (Revolve Group):</b> Much ink has been spilled about how to invest properly when the economy is pressured, which is the current situation. There&#39;s a common thread running through many of Wall Street&#39;s top takes: Solid companies that are fueling future trends are good bets. Online fashion retailer Revolve Group is one such company that is poised to capture market share and survive during tough times.</p><p>Revolve Group is uniquely positioned to thrive in the digital age due to its artificial-intelligence-powered operating systems that are reaching digitally focused shoppers. Technology underlies everything this company does, and the digital focus combines front and back end systems with influencer marketing and quickly changing styles. That&#39;s how it&#39;s able to take in a very high percentage of sales at full price -- 87% in 2021 -- while other retailers are putting products on sale to balance out too much inventory with curtailed spending.</p><p>Sales growth was strong leading up to 2022 after a significant shift to digital shopping due to the pandemic. That has slowed as Revolve comes up against comparisons to last year&#39;s robust sales and as the world deals with economic instability. Sales in the second quarter increased 27% over the year-ago period, which was healthy, however, management is expecting that to slow in the third quarter.</p><p>Net income was positive in the second quarter, but it declined under pressure from surging costs related to shipping and a higher-than-expected product return rate. Going into 2023, if the economy recovers, Revolve&#39;s sales and income should begin to pick up again.</p><p>But it&#39;s the long-term outlook that&#39;s exciting. Even in this environment, active customer count is growing, as is average order value and orders per customer. Revolve has a loyal, active, and growing fan following that is the foundation of its business. As the company continues to connect with its audience and offer it a better shopping experience, Revolve&#39;s future looks bright.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RBLX\">Roblox</a>: This metaverse company is selling at a steep discount</h2><p><b>Parkev Tatevosian (Roblox):</b> Roblox is one of my favorite beaten-down growth stocks that looks like a buy now. The metaverse pioneer has seen its stock price fall 73% off its high. It thrived at the pandemic&#39;s onset as millions of folks flocked to its platform to help pass the time, but as economies have reopened, customer and revenue growth have slowed.</p><p>Still, as of its latest update in September, Roblox boasts 59.9 million daily active users and Roblox has done an excellent job extracting revenue from its customers.

Here's why three Motley Fool contributors believe these stocks will rebound and pay off for investors over the long term.Chewy: Repeat customers will bring the stock back upJohn Ballard (Chewy): Chewy stock has fallen 70% from its all-time high in 2021, yet sales have continued to grow. The company's recurring revenue from customers who have pet food automatically shipped to their door every month gives Chewy a major advantage in the faltering economy.No matter how weak the economy gets, pet owners have to buy pet food and Chewy makes it easy. In the most recently reported six-month period, Autoship sales totaled 72.6% of Chewy's business, up from 69.8% in the year-ago period.  Chewy continues to expand beyond hard goods to services, such as pet insurance and healthcare, which could significantly expand its profit margin, as it already seems to be doing.In the most recently reported six-month period, profit margin reached 0.8%. That is a healthy jump over the 0.5% in the year-ago quarter, which translates to an 85% year-over-year increase in profit dollars.Besides expanding into insurance and healthcare, Chewy has several other areas it is investing in to reduce costs and improve margins, such as expanding fulfillment capacity and improving transportation efficiency in moving inventory around the country.Chewy is building an e-commerce machine. Pet owners love the convenience of keeping their preferred pet food brands on a recurring shipment, and management is leveraging that customer loyalty with ancillary services that should rapidly grow profits and send the stock higher over time. These qualities make Chewy a no-brainer buy in this market.Revolve: Buy now before this company takes over shoppingJennifer Saibil (Revolve Group): Much ink has been spilled about how to invest properly when the economy is pressured, which is the current situation. There's a common thread running through many of Wall Street's top takes: Solid companies that are fueling future trends are good bets. Online fashion retailer Revolve Group is one such company that is poised to capture market share and survive during tough times.Revolve Group is uniquely positioned to thrive in the digital age due to its artificial-intelligence-powered operating systems that are reaching digitally focused shoppers. Technology underlies everything this company does, and the digital focus combines front and back end systems with influencer marketing and quickly changing styles. That's how it's able to take in a very high percentage of sales at full price -- 87% in 2021 -- while other retailers are putting products on sale to balance out too much inventory with curtailed spending.Sales growth was strong leading up to 2022 after a significant shift to digital shopping due to the pandemic. That has slowed as Revolve comes up against comparisons to last year's robust sales and as the world deals with economic instability. Sales in the second quarter increased 27% over the year-ago period, which was healthy, however, management is expecting that to slow in the third quarter.Net income was positive in the second quarter, but it declined under pressure from surging costs related to shipping and a higher-than-expected product return rate. Going into 2023, if the economy recovers, Revolve's sales and income should begin to pick up again.But it's the long-term outlook that's exciting. Even in this environment, active customer count is growing, as is average order value and orders per customer. Revolve has a loyal, active, and growing fan following that is the foundation of its business. As the company continues to connect with its audience and offer it a better shopping experience, Revolve's future looks bright.Roblox: This metaverse company is selling at a steep discountParkev Tatevosian (Roblox): Roblox is one of my favorite beaten-down growth stocks that looks like a buy now. The metaverse pioneer has seen its stock price fall 73% off its high. It thrived at the pandemic's onset as millions of folks flocked to its platform to help pass the time, but as economies have reopened, customer and revenue growth have slowed.Still, as of its latest update in September, Roblox boasts 59.9 million daily active users and Roblox has done an excellent job extracting revenue from its customers. It does this by selling an in-game currency called Robux that players need for premium items and experiences on the site.Roblox increased its annual revenue from $325 million in 2018 to $1.9 billion in 2021. That is evidence that players find value in paying for the extra privileges. However, there is a part of Roblox's player base that plays for free.  To get revenue from those players, Roblox is implementing several advertising programs.Sure, Roblox faces headwinds as consumers have more options for what to do with their time and money, but I think the whopping 73% sell-off in the stock price provides an attractive entry point for investors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":214,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9914093182,"gmtCreate":1665121919846,"gmtModify":1676537561220,"author":{"id":"4126956022313922","authorId":"4126956022313922","name":"Julianw","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b3e5ee8e00fbd5d2d070fb101e902b5d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4126956022313922","idStr":"4126956022313922"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks.&nbsp; This is a great article!&nbsp;<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/FOR\"></a>","listText":"Thanks.&nbsp; This is a great article!&nbsp;<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/FOR\"></a>","text":"Thanks.

If sales figures are doing well… or patients are responding well to clinical trials… they don’t need the “official” SEC filings to decide to buy.</p><p>Some call it a total scam.</p><p>And I get it. SEC rules around insider transactions are surprisingly lax; if a CEO sees a new product performing well or is on the cusp of making a massive deal, it’s often entirely legal to trade on that information. In 2018, <b>Tesla</b> (NASDAQ:<b>TSLA</b>) CEO Elon Musk bought $25 million of his company’s shares while details of a massive $2 billion capital raise were still under wraps.</p><p>TSLA shares would rise 206% within a year.</p><p>But as I’ve long said, <b>if you can’t beat ’em, you might as well join</b>. If the world’s richest man generated an extra $75 million along the way by using privileged information, isn’t it fair to follow his steps?</p><p>It’s a strategy I’ve called the <b>Insider Track</b>.</p><h2>The Best Time to Buy… Is in a Bear Market</h2><p>The Insider Track strategy has provenly strong results. Since January 2009, C-Suite buying has generated an annualized return of 20.8%, according to tracking site TipRanks. And in the past week alone, insiders have snapped up $45 million of their corporate shares.</p><p>These amounts are admittedly smaller than in previous declines. In May 2020, insiders bought a stunning $161 million of shares after the Covid-19 slump. And today, many sectors are doing worse than in 2020 because of higher inflation and rising rates.</p><p>But some American businesses are still humming along. Here are 15 stocks where insiders act as if they know something the market doesn’t.</p><h2>Top Market Timers</h2><p>One of the best <b>Insider Track</b> strategies involves mimicking the trades of particularly successful insiders. These are investment firms, CEOs and company owners that have an unusual ability to buy the dips.</p><p><b>B. Riley Financial</b>. The boutique investment bank has a strong track record in trading the companies it owns.</p><ul><li><b>Lazydays Holdings</b> (NASDAQ:<b>LAZY</b>). In July, the investment bank bought over 10,000 LAZY shares in the $12 range before the CEO announced “remarkable performance” figures. Shares would jump to $17.50. Recent market wobbles have sent LAZY back to the $12 range – an opportunity B. Riley has used to add another 20,000 shares.</li></ul><p><b>Opaleye LLC</b>. Opaleye LLC has a notable record of picking biotech winners. A $16 million investment in <b>Travere Therapeutics</b> (NASDAQ:<b>TVTX</b>) in 2014 is now worth almost $50 million, and a smaller investment in <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OCUL\">Ocular Therapeutix</a></b> (NASDAQ:<b>OCUL</b>) netted an even more significant 400% return in 2020. Now, the company has added shares in:</p><ul><li><b>TELA Bio</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>TELA</u></b>). Since June, Opaleye has snapped up shares of TELA in the $5.75 to $8.25 range in seven transactions. The commercial-stage medical tech firm produces products for soft-tissue reconstruction in hernias, plastic and reconstructive surgery. The firm has a stable business, so Opaleye is likely buying as a valuation play.</li><li><b>TRACON Pharmaceuticals</b> (NASDAQ:<b>TCON</b>). The biotech research firm is developing an oncology drug that targets the PD-L1 antibody, a known pathway under study by other large cancer research firms. The drug is now in its pivotal Phase 2 trial, giving the stock a significant upside on any good news.</li><li><b>Protara Therapeutics</b> (NASDAQ:<b>TARA</b>). The New York-based biopharma company has two development programs in its pipeline. OK-432 is designed to treat lymphatic malformations, a common disease thought to affect 1 in every 4,000 live births, and TARA-002, a treatment for bladder cancer. Opaleye’s 19,400 share addition in mid-September brings its stake to 2,575,77, a significant stake in a company with potential blockbusters in its pipeline.</li></ul><h3>Biotech Stocks</h3><p>Opaleye’s investments represent bets on biotech — some of the hardest decisions for the <b>Insider Track</b> strategy. Many of these R&amp;D firms are riding on a single drug candidate, meaning one failed trial will send the stock to zero. And as outsiders, we can’t tell the difference between opportunistic insider buying versus “pump and dumps.”</p><p><i>But biotechs are also some of the most lucrative bets, as Longeveron shows.</i></p><p>That’s because biotech executives often know clinical trial results years before the studies publish official results. If half of your patients suddenly stop developing cancers, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist (or a biotech CEO) to realize your therapy is probably outperforming the placebo in your double-blind study. These executives are also generally aware of how discussions with healthcare regulators are progressing.</p><p>That leads us to three biotech stocks where insiders have recently bought significant stakes.</p><p><b>Zivo Bioscience</b> (NASDAQ:<b>ZIVO</b>). Director Christopher Maggiore joined CEO John Payne in buying shares in the $3.50 range after shares fell from over $5. The company develops algae-based products for food-based ingredients and has a market value of under $30 million. It’s a risky bet, but Mr. Maggiore’s $25,000 share purchase suggests he knows something we don’t.</p><p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BTTX\">Better Therapeutics</a></b> (NASDAQ:<b>BTTX</b>). The prescription digital therapeutics firm has seen a recent rash of cluster buying. The company’s CEO, CFO and a 10% owner have added $304,000 to their stakes since Sept. 12, a telling sign that the firm might have stumbled on a working therapy. Management previously indicated that its most promising candidate, BT-001, could advance pivotal trials this year or early 2023. Trades centered in the $2 range.</p><p><b>TransCode Therapeutics</b> (NASDAQ:<b>RNAZ</b>). The firm’s CEO and 10% owner added 20,000 shares on Sept. 14, raising his stake to 893,114 shares. The firm has a single therapeutic candidate, TTDX-MC138, in its pipeline designed to treat metastatic cancer. The drug is in preclinical trials, meaning that any good news could send shares up several times over.</p><h2>Insider Purchases of Public Offerings</h2><p>Public offerings are one of the best ways to understand insider sentiment. Management can spend months preparing these offerings, giving them a clear idea of the issue’s true value as Elon Musk demonstrated in his 2019 TSLA purchase.</p><p><b>Larimar Therapeutics</b> (NASDAQ:<b>LRMR</b>). The biotech’s CEO, CFO and two directors bought a combined 5.1 million shares at the firm’s public offering price of $3.15. Larimar’s lead candidate CTI-1601 is currently undergoing Phase 1 clinical trials for Friedreich’s ataxia, a rare genetic disease. Shares would jump 15.5% the following day after the FDA lifted a hold on the trial, but such broad insider purchasing often indicates more potential gains.</p><p><b>LinkBancorp</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>LNKB</u></b>). The Pennsylvania-based bank saw 17 executives and directors buy shares in its recent $7.50 public offer – the same price it offered public investors. One director added 80,000 shares in the $7.70 range after prices jumped in first-day trading. Though outsiders won’t get a clear look into the bank’s recent merger with Gratz until next quarter, insiders seem to believe there’s no need to wait for official pro forma figures to buy at market prices.</p><h2>Cluster Buying</h2><p>Finally, corporate executives often act together in buying company shares. These are some of the most compelling <b>Insider Track</b> investments to make.</p><p><b>Macerich</b> (NYSE:<b>MAC</b>). The Santa Monica-based homebuilder saw six insiders buy 104,617 shares this week, including the company’s CEO, president, CFO, and head of leasing. The company now trades at 0.6x book value, significantly below its historical average of 1.6x.</p><p><b>Liquidia</b> (NASDAQ:<b>LQDA</b>). Shares of the biopharmaceutical company sank 37% in late August after losing a patent battle with <b>United Therapeutics</b> (NASDAQ:<b>UTHR</b>) Insiders, however, have recently bought shares in the $5.50-$6.00 range, including its CEO (45,747 shares), CFO (8000 shares), Commercial SVP (2,160 shares), COO (1,918 shares) and 10% owner <b>Caligan Partners</b> (250,000 shares).</p><p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MFA\">MFA Financial</a></b> (NYSE:<b>MFA</b>). Between Sept. 14-15, the financial firm’s CEO, CFO, Co-CIO and a director added over 10,000 shares to their already-substantial holdings. Shares of MFA have fallen 55% this year over fears about its lending portfolio, particularly from its high exposure to residential whole loans. Insiders are buying shares as if the worries are wildly overblown.</p><p><b>B. Riley Financial</b> (NASDAQ:<b>RILY</b>). The company’s CEO Andrew Moore and director Randall Paulson joined owner Bryant Riley this week in snapping up a combined 48,400 shares in the boutique investment banking and wealth management firm. Shares currently trade at under 6x price-earnings, making it one of the cheapest investment banks by that metric.</p><p><b>Tilly’s</b> (NYSE:<b>TLYS</b>). The CFO of the youth-oriented shoe and clothing retailer joined two directors this week in buying up shares in the $6-$7 range. Tilly’s recent share slide now prices the retailer at 1.5x EV/EBITDA (enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), around a quarter of its usual value. Given its high operating leverage, a stronger-than-expected back-to-school season could send shares up 2x-3x from current prices.</p><p><b>L. B. Foster</b> (NASDAQ:<b>FSTR</b>). The CEO and CFO of the railroad infrastructure firm bought another 4,000 shares on Sept. 13, increasing their combined stake to over 110,000. The company trades for under 0.6x price-book, its lowest valuation since February 2016. The last time that happened, shares would recover within two months, earning investors a 60% return within two months and another 30% return within the next 10.</p><h2>Conclusion: How to Use the Insider Track</h2><p>Not all insider purchases are created equal.</p><p>Some industries like biotech, metals and mining are a treasure trove of opportunity. Executives are often aware of promising new drugs and dig sites long before the companies are required by the SEC to disclose material findings.</p><p>Following executives in other sectors comes with greater risks. Are insiders at <b>Exxon</b> (NYSE:<b>XOM</b>) buying because of an unannounced deal?

If sales figures are doing well… or patients are responding well to clinical trials… they don’t need the “official” SEC filings to decide to buy.Some call it a total scam.And I get it. SEC rules around insider transactions are surprisingly lax; if a CEO sees a new product performing well or is on the cusp of making a massive deal, it’s often entirely legal to trade on that information. In 2018, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk bought $25 million of his company’s shares while details of a massive $2 billion capital raise were still under wraps.TSLA shares would rise 206% within a year.But as I’ve long said, if you can’t beat ’em, you might as well join. If the world’s richest man generated an extra $75 million along the way by using privileged information, isn’t it fair to follow his steps?It’s a strategy I’ve called the Insider Track.The Best Time to Buy… Is in a Bear MarketThe Insider Track strategy has provenly strong results. Since January 2009, C-Suite buying has generated an annualized return of 20.8%, according to tracking site TipRanks. And in the past week alone, insiders have snapped up $45 million of their corporate shares.These amounts are admittedly smaller than in previous declines. In May 2020, insiders bought a stunning $161 million of shares after the Covid-19 slump. And today, many sectors are doing worse than in 2020 because of higher inflation and rising rates.But some American businesses are still humming along. Here are 15 stocks where insiders act as if they know something the market doesn’t.Top Market TimersOne of the best Insider Track strategies involves mimicking the trades of particularly successful insiders. These are investment firms, CEOs and company owners that have an unusual ability to buy the dips.B. Riley Financial. The boutique investment bank has a strong track record in trading the companies it owns.Lazydays Holdings (NASDAQ:LAZY). In July, the investment bank bought over 10,000 LAZY shares in the $12 range before the CEO announced “remarkable performance” figures. Shares would jump to $17.50. Recent market wobbles have sent LAZY back to the $12 range – an opportunity B. Riley has used to add another 20,000 shares.Opaleye LLC. Opaleye LLC has a notable record of picking biotech winners. A $16 million investment in Travere Therapeutics (NASDAQ:TVTX) in 2014 is now worth almost $50 million, and a smaller investment in Ocular Therapeutix (NASDAQ:OCUL) netted an even more significant 400% return in 2020. Now, the company has added shares in:TELA Bio (NASDAQ:TELA). Since June, Opaleye has snapped up shares of TELA in the $5.75 to $8.25 range in seven transactions. The commercial-stage medical tech firm produces products for soft-tissue reconstruction in hernias, plastic and reconstructive surgery. The firm has a stable business, so Opaleye is likely buying as a valuation play.TRACON Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:TCON). The biotech research firm is developing an oncology drug that targets the PD-L1 antibody, a known pathway under study by other large cancer research firms. The drug is now in its pivotal Phase 2 trial, giving the stock a significant upside on any good news.Protara Therapeutics (NASDAQ:TARA). The New York-based biopharma company has two development programs in its pipeline. OK-432 is designed to treat lymphatic malformations, a common disease thought to affect 1 in every 4,000 live births, and TARA-002, a treatment for bladder cancer. Opaleye’s 19,400 share addition in mid-September brings its stake to 2,575,77, a significant stake in a company with potential blockbusters in its pipeline.Biotech StocksOpaleye’s investments represent bets on biotech — some of the hardest decisions for the Insider Track strategy. Many of these R&D firms are riding on a single drug candidate, meaning one failed trial will send the stock to zero. And as outsiders, we can’t tell the difference between opportunistic insider buying versus “pump and dumps.”But biotechs are also some of the most lucrative bets, as Longeveron shows.That’s because biotech executives often know clinical trial results years before the studies publish official results. If half of your patients suddenly stop developing cancers, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist (or a biotech CEO) to realize your therapy is probably outperforming the placebo in your double-blind study. These executives are also generally aware of how discussions with healthcare regulators are progressing.That leads us to three biotech stocks where insiders have recently bought significant stakes.Zivo Bioscience (NASDAQ:ZIVO). Director Christopher Maggiore joined CEO John Payne in buying shares in the $3.50 range after shares fell from over $5. The company develops algae-based products for food-based ingredients and has a market value of under $30 million. It’s a risky bet, but Mr. Maggiore’s $25,000 share purchase suggests he knows something we don’t.Better Therapeutics (NASDAQ:BTTX). The prescription digital therapeutics firm has seen a recent rash of cluster buying. The company’s CEO, CFO and a 10% owner have added $304,000 to their stakes since Sept. 12, a telling sign that the firm might have stumbled on a working therapy. Management previously indicated that its most promising candidate, BT-001, could advance pivotal trials this year or early 2023. Trades centered in the $2 range.TransCode Therapeutics (NASDAQ:RNAZ). The firm’s CEO and 10% owner added 20,000 shares on Sept. 14, raising his stake to 893,114 shares. The firm has a single therapeutic candidate, TTDX-MC138, in its pipeline designed to treat metastatic cancer. The drug is in preclinical trials, meaning that any good news could send shares up several times over.Insider Purchases of Public OfferingsPublic offerings are one of the best ways to understand insider sentiment. Management can spend months preparing these offerings, giving them a clear idea of the issue’s true value as Elon Musk demonstrated in his 2019 TSLA purchase.Larimar Therapeutics (NASDAQ:LRMR). The biotech’s CEO, CFO and two directors bought a combined 5.1 million shares at the firm’s public offering price of $3.15. Larimar’s lead candidate CTI-1601 is currently undergoing Phase 1 clinical trials for Friedreich’s ataxia, a rare genetic disease. Shares would jump 15.5% the following day after the FDA lifted a hold on the trial, but such broad insider purchasing often indicates more potential gains.LinkBancorp (NASDAQ:LNKB). The Pennsylvania-based bank saw 17 executives and directors buy shares in its recent $7.50 public offer – the same price it offered public investors. One director added 80,000 shares in the $7.70 range after prices jumped in first-day trading. Though outsiders won’t get a clear look into the bank’s recent merger with Gratz until next quarter, insiders seem to believe there’s no need to wait for official pro forma figures to buy at market prices.Cluster BuyingFinally, corporate executives often act together in buying company shares. These are some of the most compelling Insider Track investments to make.Macerich (NYSE:MAC). The Santa Monica-based homebuilder saw six insiders buy 104,617 shares this week, including the company’s CEO, president, CFO, and head of leasing. The company now trades at 0.6x book value, significantly below its historical average of 1.6x.Liquidia (NASDAQ:LQDA). Shares of the biopharmaceutical company sank 37% in late August after losing a patent battle with United Therapeutics (NASDAQ:UTHR) Insiders, however, have recently bought shares in the $5.50-$6.00 range, including its CEO (45,747 shares), CFO (8000 shares), Commercial SVP (2,160 shares), COO (1,918 shares) and 10% owner Caligan Partners (250,000 shares).MFA Financial (NYSE:MFA). Between Sept. 14-15, the financial firm’s CEO, CFO, Co-CIO and a director added over 10,000 shares to their already-substantial holdings. Shares of MFA have fallen 55% this year over fears about its lending portfolio, particularly from its high exposure to residential whole loans. Insiders are buying shares as if the worries are wildly overblown.B. Riley Financial (NASDAQ:RILY). The company’s CEO Andrew Moore and director Randall Paulson joined owner Bryant Riley this week in snapping up a combined 48,400 shares in the boutique investment banking and wealth management firm. Shares currently trade at under 6x price-earnings, making it one of the cheapest investment banks by that metric.Tilly’s (NYSE:TLYS). The CFO of the youth-oriented shoe and clothing retailer joined two directors this week in buying up shares in the $6-$7 range. Tilly’s recent share slide now prices the retailer at 1.5x EV/EBITDA (enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), around a quarter of its usual value. Given its high operating leverage, a stronger-than-expected back-to-school season could send shares up 2x-3x from current prices.L. B. Foster (NASDAQ:FSTR). The CEO and CFO of the railroad infrastructure firm bought another 4,000 shares on Sept. 13, increasing their combined stake to over 110,000. The company trades for under 0.6x price-book, its lowest valuation since February 2016. The last time that happened, shares would recover within two months, earning investors a 60% return within two months and another 30% return within the next 10.Conclusion: How to Use the Insider TrackNot all insider purchases are created equal.Some industries like biotech, metals and mining are a treasure trove of opportunity. Executives are often aware of promising new drugs and dig sites long before the companies are required by the SEC to disclose material findings.Following executives in other sectors comes with greater risks. Are insiders at Exxon (NYSE:XOM) buying because of an unannounced deal? Or are they blindly speculating on oil prices instead?That’s why I tend to avoid companies like HighPeak Energy (NASDAQ:HPK), U.S. Energy Corp (NASDAQ:USEG) and Stronghold Digital Mining (NASDAQ:SDIG) — firms that also recently announced insider purchases. Shares in these firms more closely track the price of oil and Bitcoin (BTC-USD) – assets that no executive can predict.Instead, I focus on bets with particularly opaque financials and high operating leverage. And though every investment requires deeper research before jumping in, the Insider Track provides us with a strong starting point to beating the markets.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":337,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9912035224,"gmtCreate":1664699529068,"gmtModify":1676537496057,"author":{"id":"4126956022313922","authorId":"4126956022313922","name":"Julianw","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b3e5ee8e00fbd5d2d070fb101e902b5d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4126956022313922","idStr":"4126956022313922"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Folks, look hard at Google.&nbsp; Worth your time.&nbsp;","listText":"Folks, look hard at Google.&nbsp; Worth your time.&nbsp;","text":"Folks, look hard at Google.

I consider Alphabet to be even more attractive when it comes to risk and reward.</li><li>My investment thesis is underlined by the results of theHQC Scorecardin which Alphabet scores 91/100 while Meta scores 80/100. Furthermore, it is supported by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, in which Alphabet is ranked 2nd within the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is ranked 14th (both out of 61).</li><li>At the current stock prices, I expect a compound annual rate of return of about 18% for Alphabet and one of 16% for Meta. Both are based on the calculations of my DCF Models.</li></ul><h2><b>The Competitive Positions of Alphabet and Meta</b></h2><p>For both Alphabet and Meta I see the enormous amount of data and their ability to analyse and use this data as strong competitive advantages over their rivals in the Interactive Media and Services Industry. In addition to that, both companies are among the top 10 of the world&#39;s most valuable brands: according toBrand Finance, Google is ranked 3rd with a brand value of $263,425M and Facebook is ranked 7th with a brand value of $101,201M.</p><p>Both Alphabet and Meta have a proven ability of successfully integrating new businesses into their companies. One of Alphabet&#39;s most successful acquisitions was YouTube, for which the company paid $1.65 billion back in 2006. Meta acquired Instagram for$1.0 billionin 2012 and WhatsApp for$19 billionin 2014.</p><p>The enormous financial strength of Alphabet and Meta provide them with another significant competitive advantage: while Alphabet has $124,997M in Total Cash &amp; ST Investments at this moment in time, Meta currently disposes of $40,489M. Having a high amount of cash puts both companies in a position to make large acquisitions in order to ensure further future growth. This financial strength is also backed up by a Moody&#39;s credit rating of Aa2 for Alphabet and A1 for Meta.</p><p>Both Alphabet and Meta have strong competitive advantages. However, I would like to summarize that Alphabet is slightly ahead of Meta when it comes to brand value (Alphabet has a brand value of $263,425M while the one of Facebook is $101,201M) and when considering financial strength (Alphabet has a higher cash position and a stronger credit rating by Moody&#39;s). This supports my investment thesis to prefer Alphabet over Meta.</p><h2><b>The Valuation of Alphabet and Meta</b></h2><p><b>Discounted Cash Flow [DCF]-Model</b></p><p>In terms of valuation, I have used the DCF Model to determine the intrinsic value of Alphabet and Meta. The method calculates a fair value of $141.71 for Alphabet and $190.02 for Meta. At the current stock prices, this gives Alphabet an upside of 42.90% and Meta an upside of 35.30%.</p><p>My calculations are based on the following assumptions as presented below (in $ millions except per share items):</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>Alphabet</b></p></td><td><p><b>Meta</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Company Ticker</p></td><td><p>GOOG</p></td><td><p>META</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Revenue Growth Rate for the next 5 years</p></td><td><p>8%</p></td><td><p>5%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>EBIT Growth Rate for the next 5 years</p></td><td><p>8%</p></td><td><p>5%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Tax Rate</p></td><td><p>15.7%</p></td><td><p>16.7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Discount Rate [WACC]</p></td><td><p>7.75%</p></td><td><p>7.75%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Perpetual Growth Rate</p></td><td><p>4%</p></td><td><p>3%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>EV/EBITDA Multiple</p></td><td><p>12x</p></td><td><p>7.2x</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Current Price/Share</p></td><td><p>$99.17</p></td><td><p>$140.41</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Shares Outstanding</p></td><td><p>13,044</p></td><td><p>2,688</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Debt</p></td><td><p>$28,810</p></td><td><p>$16,679</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Cash</p></td><td><p>$17,936</p></td><td><p>$12,681</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Capex</p></td><td><p>$29,816</p></td><td><p>$32,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: The Author</p><p>Based on the above, I calculated the following results:</p><p><b>Market Value vs. Intrinsic Value</b></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>Alphabet</b></p></td><td><p><b>Meta</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Market Value</p></td><td><p>$99.17</p></td><td><p>$140.41</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Upside</p></td><td><p>42.90%</p></td><td><p>35.30%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Intrinsic Value</p></td><td><p>$141.71</p></td><td><p>$190.02</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: The Author</p><p><b>Internal Rate of Return for Alphabet</b></p><p>TheInternal Rate of Return[IRR] is defined as the expected compound annual rate of return earned on an investment.

However, Alphabet&#39;s other business units are becoming more and more important (in 2Q22, Google Cloud accounted for 9% of Alphabet&#39;s total revenue while it was only 7.5% in the same quarter of the year before).</p><p>While having a deeper look into Meta&#39;s business, we find that its dependency on advertising is even higher than that of its competitor:98%of the company&#39;s revenue is generated by advertising from Facebook and Instagram.</p><p>This comparison of the companies&#39; advertising dependency indicates that a reduction in customer spending on marketing would impact Meta&#39;s business to a higher amount than it would affect Alphabet. Meta&#39;s significantly higher dependence on advertising contributes to the fact that I see an investment in Alphabet as being less risky.</p><p>Another additional risk factor when investing in Meta is the company&#39;s high spending to build the metaverse. In 2021 alone, the company spent about$10 billionthrough its Reality Labs division in order to build the metaverse. This amount is five times higher than what the company paid to buyOculus VR business in 2014and 10 times higher than the amountit paid to buy Instagramback in 2012. Although the investments could pay off in the future, they currently represent a risk for the shareholders due to the fact that the success of this project is not yet foreseeable.</p><p>Additionally, I see the effect that data privacy will continue to have on the operating results of Meta as an additional risk factor for the company. At the beginning of this year, Alphabet announced new privacy restrictions which cut tracking across apps on its Android devices, following a similar move to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). This resulted in a decrease of Meta&#39;s revenue by about$10 billion.</p><p>Summarizing, I see Alphabet as the lower-risk investment when compared with Meta, which once again underlines my thoughts on picking Alphabet out of the two. This lower risk also contributes to the fact that I would overweight the Alphabet position in an investment portfolio. On the other hand, the higher risk factors concerning Meta, contribute to my opinion of giving the company a small position in a long-term investment portfolio.</p><h2><b>The Bottom Line</b></h2><p>I consider the valuation of both Alphabet and Meta to currently be very appealing. However, when considering risk and reward, I came to the conclusion of selecting Alphabet over Meta. My opinion is based on the following facts and thoughts:</p><p>Alphabet&#39;s ROE of 29.22% is higher than the one of Meta (25.48%), implying that Alphabet is even more efficient in converting its equity financing into profits. Furthermore, Alphabet&#39;s Average EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] over the last three years of 33.92% is also higher than the one of Meta (which has an EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] of 22.80% over the same period).</p><p>Alphabet&#39;s higher brand value ($263,425M as compared to Meta&#39;s $101,201M), as well as its higher cash position ($124,997M in Total Cash &amp; ST Investments vs. $40,489M) and higher credit rating (Aa2 credit rating by Moody&#39;s compared to A1) additionally support my investment thesis to select the company over Meta.</p><p>My opinion is further underlined by the rating of the HQC Scorecard in which Alphabet scores 91/100 points while Meta scores 80/100. Additionally, the theory is strengthened by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, where Alphabet is ranked 2nd in the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is 14th (both out of 61).</p><p>When it comes to risk, I also see Alphabet as being ahead of Meta. Alphabet is less dependent on its advertising business: while 98% of Meta&#39;s revenue is from Facebook and Instagram advertising, Alphabet generates about 80% of its revenue from advertising. Furthermore, Alphabet is becoming more independent from its advertising business through the increasing revenue of its cloud business. In addition to that, Meta&#39;s high spending in the metaverse implies an additional risk factor for the Meta shareholder.</p><p>The investment thesis of selecting Alphabet over Meta is also reflected in my own personal long-term investment portfolio, in which Alphabet holds one of my largest positions, while Meta only has a small position. My investment decision has been based on the fact that I consider Alphabet to be significantly more attractive than Meta in terms of risk and reward.</p><p>Which is your favorite out of Alphabet and Meta?</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>Google Vs.

I consider Alphabet to be even more attractive when it comes to risk and reward.My investment thesis is underlined by the results of theHQC Scorecardin which Alphabet scores 91/100 while Meta scores 80/100. Furthermore, it is supported by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, in which Alphabet is ranked 2nd within the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is ranked 14th (both out of 61).At the current stock prices, I expect a compound annual rate of return of about 18% for Alphabet and one of 16% for Meta. Both are based on the calculations of my DCF Models.The Competitive Positions of Alphabet and MetaFor both Alphabet and Meta I see the enormous amount of data and their ability to analyse and use this data as strong competitive advantages over their rivals in the Interactive Media and Services Industry. In addition to that, both companies are among the top 10 of the world's most valuable brands: according toBrand Finance, Google is ranked 3rd with a brand value of $263,425M and Facebook is ranked 7th with a brand value of $101,201M.Both Alphabet and Meta have a proven ability of successfully integrating new businesses into their companies. One of Alphabet's most successful acquisitions was YouTube, for which the company paid $1.65 billion back in 2006. Meta acquired Instagram for$1.0 billionin 2012 and WhatsApp for$19 billionin 2014.The enormous financial strength of Alphabet and Meta provide them with another significant competitive advantage: while Alphabet has $124,997M in Total Cash & ST Investments at this moment in time, Meta currently disposes of $40,489M. Having a high amount of cash puts both companies in a position to make large acquisitions in order to ensure further future growth. This financial strength is also backed up by a Moody's credit rating of Aa2 for Alphabet and A1 for Meta.Both Alphabet and Meta have strong competitive advantages. However, I would like to summarize that Alphabet is slightly ahead of Meta when it comes to brand value (Alphabet has a brand value of $263,425M while the one of Facebook is $101,201M) and when considering financial strength (Alphabet has a higher cash position and a stronger credit rating by Moody's). This supports my investment thesis to prefer Alphabet over Meta.The Valuation of Alphabet and MetaDiscounted Cash Flow [DCF]-ModelIn terms of valuation, I have used the DCF Model to determine the intrinsic value of Alphabet and Meta. The method calculates a fair value of $141.71 for Alphabet and $190.02 for Meta. At the current stock prices, this gives Alphabet an upside of 42.90% and Meta an upside of 35.30%.My calculations are based on the following assumptions as presented below (in $ millions except per share items):AlphabetMetaCompany TickerGOOGMETARevenue Growth Rate for the next 5 years8%5%EBIT Growth Rate for the next 5 years8%5%Tax Rate15.7%16.7Discount Rate [WACC]7.75%7.75%Perpetual Growth Rate4%3%EV/EBITDA Multiple12x7.2xCurrent Price/Share$99.17$140.41Shares Outstanding13,0442,688Debt$28,810$16,679Cash$17,936$12,681Capex$29,816$32,000Source: The AuthorBased on the above, I calculated the following results:Market Value vs. Intrinsic ValueAlphabetMetaMarket Value$99.17$140.41Upside42.90%35.30%Intrinsic Value$141.71$190.02Source: The AuthorInternal Rate of Return for AlphabetTheInternal Rate of Return[IRR] is defined as the expected compound annual rate of return earned on an investment. Below you can find the Internal Rate of Return as according to my DCF Model (when assuming different purchase prices for the Alphabet stock).At Alphabet's current stock price of $99.17, my DCF Model indicates an Internal Rate of Return of approximately 18% for the company (while assuming a Revenue and EBIT Growth Rate of 8% for the next 5 years and a Perpetual Growth Rate of 4% afterwards). (In bold you can see the Internal Rate of Return for Alphabet's current stock price of $99.17.)

Meta currently has a slightly lower P/E [FWD] Ratio of 14.30 when compared to Alphabet (19.05).Although Meta's EBIT Margin (33.41% compared to Alphabet's 29.65%) and Free Cash Flow Yield [TTM] (9.27% compared to 4.97%) are higher, the following contributes to the fact that I would select Alphabet if I had to choose one of the two companies from the Interactive Media and Services Industry:Alphabet's ROE of 29.22% is higher than Meta's (25.48%), which implies that Alphabet is even more efficient in converting its equity financing into profits.Alphabet's Average EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] over the last three years of 33.92% is also higher than that of Meta (with an EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] of 22.80% in the same period of time).In addition to that, Alphabet's EPS Growth Rate Diluted [FWD] of 27.01% is higher than the one of Meta (3.12%), indicating that Alphabet is growing its profitability with a higher rate.Additionally, Alphabet's Free Cash Flow Per Share Growth Rate [FWD] of 24.39% is significantly superior to Meta's (4.23%), demonstrating that Alphabet's potential to produce cash and profits is growing faster than its rival's.This analysis of the companies' fundamentals strengthens my investment thesis that Alphabet is currently the more attractive of the two.

Furthermore, you can see the conditions that must be met for each point of every rated item.\"Source: The AuthorAlphabet and Meta According to the HQC ScorecardSource: The AuthorAlthough both companies are rated as very attractive as according to the HQC Scorecard, Alphabet's overall score (91/100) is slightly higher than the one of Meta (80/100).In the category of Economic Moat, Alphabet scores 93/100 points while Meta only reaches 57/100.In terms of Financial Strength, both are rated as very attractive. These strong results are a consequence of both companies having a low Total Debt to Equity Ratio, as well as a high Current Ratio (Alphabet's is 2.81 and Meta's is 2.52), Quick Ratio (2.62 and 2.34) and Cash Ratio (2.0 and 1.8).In the category of Profitability, both companies are rated with 100/100 points, a result of having high EBIT Margins (Alphabet's is 29.65% and Meta's is 33.41%) and high ROE's (29.22% and 25.48%).For Valuation, Alphabet receives 80/100 while Meta gets 92/100. Meta's higher scoring in this category is a consequence of its even lower P/E [FWD] Ratio of 14.30 as compared to Alphabet's 19.05.For Growth, Alphabet receives 88/100 and Meta gets 76/100.For Expected Return, both receive 100/100 points, this is mostly due to the high Expected Internal Rate of Return for the companies as according to my DCF Model.Alphabet's higher overall rating (91/100) as according to the HQC Scorecard, strengthens my opinion of choosing the company over Meta at this moment in time.Alphabet and Meta According to the Seeking Alpha Quant Factor GradesWhen taking into consideration the Seeking Alpha Quant Factor Grades, we can see that Meta is rated slightly better in terms of Valuation (with a C-) as compared to Alphabet (D rating). In terms of Growth, however, Alphabet (C- rating) is better rated than Meta (D- rating). For Profitability, both companies receive an A+ rating. For Momentum, Alphabet is more appealing (C+) than Meta (C rating).Alphabet's better rating in terms of Growth and Momentum once again underlines my investment thesis.Source: Seeking AlphaAlphabet and Meta According to the Seeking Alpha Quant RankingMy investment thesis is also underlined by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking where Alphabet is ranked significantly better than Meta: while Alphabet is 2nd in the Interactive Media and Services Industry, Meta is ranked 14th (both out of 61). Within the Communication Services Sector, Alphabet is currently ranked 7th and Meta is in 52nd place (both out of 247). The Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking reinforces my opinion to select Alphabet over Meta.Source: Seeking AlphaAlphabet and Meta According to the Seeking Alpha Authors Rating and Wall Street Analysts RatingAs according to the Seeking Alpha Quant Rating, Alphabet is currently a strong buy and Meta a hold. The Seeking Alpha Authors rate both companies as a buy while the Wall Street Analysts rate Alphabet as a strong buy and Meta as a buy.Source: Seeking AlphaRisksOne of the main risk factors I see for both Alphabet and Meta is the fact that the largest portion of the companies' business results depend on advertising.When taking a closer look at Alphabet, it can be highlighted that80%of the company's revenue is generated by its business unit Google Advertising. However, Alphabet's other business units are becoming more and more important (in 2Q22, Google Cloud accounted for 9% of Alphabet's total revenue while it was only 7.5% in the same quarter of the year before).While having a deeper look into Meta's business, we find that its dependency on advertising is even higher than that of its competitor:98%of the company's revenue is generated by advertising from Facebook and Instagram.This comparison of the companies' advertising dependency indicates that a reduction in customer spending on marketing would impact Meta's business to a higher amount than it would affect Alphabet. Meta's significantly higher dependence on advertising contributes to the fact that I see an investment in Alphabet as being less risky.Another additional risk factor when investing in Meta is the company's high spending to build the metaverse. In 2021 alone, the company spent about$10 billionthrough its Reality Labs division in order to build the metaverse. This amount is five times higher than what the company paid to buyOculus VR business in 2014and 10 times higher than the amountit paid to buy Instagramback in 2012. Although the investments could pay off in the future, they currently represent a risk for the shareholders due to the fact that the success of this project is not yet foreseeable.Additionally, I see the effect that data privacy will continue to have on the operating results of Meta as an additional risk factor for the company. At the beginning of this year, Alphabet announced new privacy restrictions which cut tracking across apps on its Android devices, following a similar move to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). This resulted in a decrease of Meta's revenue by about$10 billion.Summarizing, I see Alphabet as the lower-risk investment when compared with Meta, which once again underlines my thoughts on picking Alphabet out of the two. This lower risk also contributes to the fact that I would overweight the Alphabet position in an investment portfolio. On the other hand, the higher risk factors concerning Meta, contribute to my opinion of giving the company a small position in a long-term investment portfolio.The Bottom LineI consider the valuation of both Alphabet and Meta to currently be very appealing. However, when considering risk and reward, I came to the conclusion of selecting Alphabet over Meta. My opinion is based on the following facts and thoughts:Alphabet's ROE of 29.22% is higher than the one of Meta (25.48%), implying that Alphabet is even more efficient in converting its equity financing into profits. Furthermore, Alphabet's Average EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] over the last three years of 33.92% is also higher than the one of Meta (which has an EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] of 22.80% over the same period).Alphabet's higher brand value ($263,425M as compared to Meta's $101,201M), as well as its higher cash position ($124,997M in Total Cash & ST Investments vs. $40,489M) and higher credit rating (Aa2 credit rating by Moody's compared to A1) additionally support my investment thesis to select the company over Meta.My opinion is further underlined by the rating of the HQC Scorecard in which Alphabet scores 91/100 points while Meta scores 80/100. Additionally, the theory is strengthened by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, where Alphabet is ranked 2nd in the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is 14th (both out of 61).When it comes to risk, I also see Alphabet as being ahead of Meta. Alphabet is less dependent on its advertising business: while 98% of Meta's revenue is from Facebook and Instagram advertising, Alphabet generates about 80% of its revenue from advertising. Furthermore, Alphabet is becoming more independent from its advertising business through the increasing revenue of its cloud business. In addition to that, Meta's high spending in the metaverse implies an additional risk factor for the Meta shareholder.The investment thesis of selecting Alphabet over Meta is also reflected in my own personal long-term investment portfolio, in which Alphabet holds one of my largest positions, while Meta only has a small position. My investment decision has been based on the fact that I consider Alphabet to be significantly more attractive than Meta in terms of risk and reward.Which is your favorite out of Alphabet and Meta?","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":463,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9918422339,"gmtCreate":1664437069722,"gmtModify":1676537455247,"author":{"id":"4126956022313922","authorId":"4126956022313922","name":"Julianw","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b3e5ee8e00fbd5d2d070fb101e902b5d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4126956022313922","idStr":"4126956022313922"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I would agree on Nike, I must say 👍","listText":"I would agree on Nike, I must say 👍","text":"I would agree on Nike, I must say 👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9918422339","repostId":"2270628738","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":545,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9918175060,"gmtCreate":1664345492951,"gmtModify":1676537437668,"author":{"id":"4126956022313922","authorId":"4126956022313922","name":"Julianw","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b3e5ee8e00fbd5d2d070fb101e902b5d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4126956022313922","idStr":"4126956022313922"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thank you for the article.","listText":"Thank you for the article.","text":"Thank you for the article.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9918175060","repostId":"2269192370","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":420,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9913319293,"gmtCreate":1663909320413,"gmtModify":1676537361787,"author":{"id":"4126956022313922","authorId":"4126956022313922","name":"Julianw","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b3e5ee8e00fbd5d2d070fb101e902b5d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4126956022313922","idStr":"4126956022313922"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good article","listText":"Good article","text":"Good article","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9913319293","repostId":"2269207122","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2269207122","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1663895275,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2269207122?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-23 09:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Google Vs.

They have offered compelling returns in the past and are highly liquid. Two of those are active in the emerging autonomous driving space: Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL) via its Waymo subsidiary, and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), via its Autopilot/FSD program. In this article, we&#39;ll look at the opportunities and risks of both companies to see which one is a more promising investment at current prices.</p><h2>How Did Tesla And Google Perform Following Their Recent Stock Splits?</h2><p>Both companies split their shares not too long ago, in a bid to bring down their share prices to a more &#34;normal&#34; level. Potential index inclusion in the Dow Jones, which is price-weighted, likely also played a role in their decisions to split their shares.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caa75f6003a8a5d8ae349b6c8fe75231\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"826\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>So far this year, both companies have seen their shares drop, with TSLA being down 12% while GOOG is down almost 30% in 2022. Alphabet split its shares in mid-July and has declined slightly since then, while Tesla split its shares in early August. Prior to that stock split, Tesla&#39;s shares experienced a run-up, but since then, they moved mostly sideways. From a near-term share price perspective, these stock splits were thus not successful, but buying purely due to a stock split isn&#39;t a great investment approach anyway.</p><h2>Competitors In The Self-Driving Automobile Realm</h2><p>The two companies aren&#39;t competitors with everything they do, as Alphabet is mostly an online advertising company, while Tesla primarily is a car manufacturer. Nevertheless, the two compete in a prominent, fast-growing, and potentially very promising (in an economic sense) area, which is self-driving automobile technology.</p><p>Alphabet has been active in this space for quite some time via its Waymo subsidiary. Tesla has ambitious goals in this space as well, which it pursues via its self-driving tech program Autopilot/FSD.</p><p>No one knows when the first automobile with Level 5 self-driving technology will be available, or which company will produce it. But it is pretty clear that there are some companies that are in strong positions today and that could be important contenders for that title.</p><p>The following image shows a list of companies that have been approved for testing their vehicles in California without a driver. Some of those companies are even allowed to deploy their tech in the state:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e6b26f22348c751bc1e1839280d47756\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"768\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>ca.gov</span></p><p>We see that Google&#39;s Waymo holds the permit in both groups, as do Nuro and GM&#39;s (GM) Cruise. It seems reasonable to me to assume that the companies with the most advantaged permits are the companies with the most advantaged tech. A couple of other companies are allowed to test their tech in vehicles without a driver, including WeRide and Zoox. Notably, Tesla is not among these companies. It holds a permit to test its technology in California, but only in vehicles with a driver. A total of 50 companies hold that permit according to the government website, thus we can say that holding this permit is &#34;nothing special&#34;. Many of Tesla&#39;s peers, including Mercedes-Benz (OTCPK:MBGYY) and NIO (NIO), hold the same permit.</p><p>From a regulatory viewpoint, Alphabet&#39;s offering in this space seems way more advantaged -- it stands out among the dozens of companies that are active in self-driving tech, while Tesla seems to be in the middle of the pack. The same holds true when we look at commercialization.</p><p>While Tesla demands money from buyers of its tech even though that is only in beta testing, it is not allowed to commercialize it in a robo-taxi way. Waymo, on the other hand, has deployed its self-driving taxis in several cities including San Francisco, where riders can book rides via Alphabet&#39;s apps.</p><p>Of course, there is no guarantee that Alphabet&#39;s lead will hold. It is possible that Tesla eventually manages to hit a home run with its tech. But to me, it does not look like this is the most likely scenario -- it seems more reasonable (to me) to assume that the current leaders with the most advantaged projects will continue to hold their leadership position in this space.</p><h2>Alphabet And Tesla Stock Key Metrics</h2><p>Both companies have seen their shares drop back this year, which means that their valuations have compressed. In other words, both stocks are cheaper today than they were at the beginning of the year, although that does not necessarily mean that they are cheap in absolute terms.</p><p>Looking at the earnings multiple for the current year, Alphabet seems quite inexpensive, while Tesla still trades at a premium valuation:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8c39d06b8d89aa8f183775878ff7fc9d\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"892\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Alphabet is trading at less than 20x forward net profit, for an earnings yield of 5%. Tesla is trading at around 3.5x that valuation, as its earnings yield is in the 1.5% range as its earnings multiple still is north of 70. Of course, one can argue that free cash flows are even more important than net profits. After all, dividends and buybacks are financed with (free) cash, and debt reduction, acquisitions, etc. also depend on a company&#39;s ability to throw off cash. In that regard, Alphabet looks even better relative to Tesla. Alphabet&#39;s free cash flows are relatively comparable to its net profits, as the trailing free cash flow yield is in the 5% range as well.</p><p>The same does not hold true for Tesla, as its free cash flow yield of not even 0.7% is just half as high as its earnings yield. The big discrepancy can be explained by the capital-intense nature of the automobile industry. Factories need to be built and retooled regularly, the companies in this space need large amounts of working capital for unfinished products, raw materials, and so on. That&#39;s why free cash generation generally is weak in the automobile space, thus this is not a Tesla-specific issue. Instead, Tesla is just performing in line with other automobile companies that have weak cash generation. Alphabet does not need to spend heavily on raw materials, factories, factory retooling, and so on. Its business model is much more shareholder-friendly as operations can be scaled up efficiently without large capital expenditure requirements -- letting users stream one more video on YouTube or see one more ad on Google does not require any meaningful cash outlays on Alphabet&#39;s side.</p><p>Not only does Alphabet look much cheaper than Tesla, but its way stronger free cash generation has also resulted in a way better balance sheet.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/674770fc1359e36cc518d1501437fa47\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"892\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Tesla has a $16 billion net cash position, which is quite solid. But that&#39;s less than 2% of Tesla&#39;s market capitalization. Meanwhile, GOOG has a net cash position of $112 billion, which is 7x as much as what Tesla has, and which is equal to more than 8% of Alphabet&#39;s market capitalization. Alphabet thus has much more financial firepower for shareholder returns, e.g. via buybacks, for acquisitions, and last but not least, its huge net cash position reduces risks considerably. In case we see a steep global economic downturn, Alphabet&#39;s more than $100 billion in net cash insulates the company very well from financial troubles, while Tesla would be more exposed -- not only is its cash &#34;safety net&#34; much smaller, but the automobile industry is also more cyclical and vulnerable to recessions relative to the software and communication services industries. In recent weeks we possibly got a glimpse of that, as delivery times for many of Tesla&#39;s models declined to just a couple of weeks -- that could be the result of increasing reluctance by consumers to spend heavily on a new vehicle in the current economic climate.</p><p>When we account for the net cash positions of both companies, Alphabet&#39;s undemanding valuation drops to an even lower level:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/52a566129c9826a9725931bb8bff600d\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"826\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>At just 12x trailing EBITDA, Alphabet trades at a pretty undemanding valuation, especially when we account for its market leadership and healthy growth. Tesla is trading at 5x Alphabet&#39;s EV/EBITDA multiple. It has pretty strong growth as well, at least in the past (see the aforementioned backlog decline and vulnerability to an economic downturn). But with its way weaker cash generation, lower margins, intensifying competitive pressures, and weaker self-driving tech, the current valuation does not seem attractive. One can argue that Tesla would be very attractive at a 12x EBITDA multiple, but at 5x the valuation of Alphabet, Alphabet looks like a significantly more compelling choice to me.</p><h2>Is Alphabet Or Tesla The Better Long-Term Buy?</h2><p>Some Tesla bulls mainly are in it for Tesla&#39;s self-driving potential. I don&#39;t think Tesla is in a leadership position here, but it is of course possible that the company becomes more successful over time. In case it manages to solve true self-driving anywhere before anyone else, that would result in a lot of earnings potential. But betting on that is not my investment style, and Tesla wouldn&#39;t be my first choice even if I wanted to bet on any company solely for its autonomous driving tech.</p><p>The software/communication services industries offer great margins, strong free cash generation, and long-term growth potential. It also isn&#39;t very cyclical. All these things hold true for Alphabet, and the company is an absolute leader in its space. The automobile industry as a whole is significantly less attractive, due to weak margins, high capital intensity, and so on. These things hold true for Tesla as well, even though it&#39;s not a legacy automobile company. Tesla has a strong brand in the EV space, but competitive pressures are rising, and BYD (OTCPK:BYDDY) has overtaken it already in total EV sales (including plug-in hybrids).

Both GOOG and TSLA belong to that group.Both have done a stock split recently and both compete in the self-driving automobile space. How do they compare?What about their valuations, recession resilience, balance sheet strength, and cash flow? Which company looks like the better choice at current prices?gorodenkoffArticle ThesisMega-caps have been popular among investors, and rightfully so. They have offered compelling returns in the past and are highly liquid. Two of those are active in the emerging autonomous driving space: Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL) via its Waymo subsidiary, and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), via its Autopilot/FSD program. In this article, we'll look at the opportunities and risks of both companies to see which one is a more promising investment at current prices.How Did Tesla And Google Perform Following Their Recent Stock Splits?Both companies split their shares not too long ago, in a bid to bring down their share prices to a more \"normal\" level. Potential index inclusion in the Dow Jones, which is price-weighted, likely also played a role in their decisions to split their shares.Data by YChartsSo far this year, both companies have seen their shares drop, with TSLA being down 12% while GOOG is down almost 30% in 2022. Alphabet split its shares in mid-July and has declined slightly since then, while Tesla split its shares in early August. Prior to that stock split, Tesla's shares experienced a run-up, but since then, they moved mostly sideways. From a near-term share price perspective, these stock splits were thus not successful, but buying purely due to a stock split isn't a great investment approach anyway.Competitors In The Self-Driving Automobile RealmThe two companies aren't competitors with everything they do, as Alphabet is mostly an online advertising company, while Tesla primarily is a car manufacturer. Nevertheless, the two compete in a prominent, fast-growing, and potentially very promising (in an economic sense) area, which is self-driving automobile technology.Alphabet has been active in this space for quite some time via its Waymo subsidiary. Tesla has ambitious goals in this space as well, which it pursues via its self-driving tech program Autopilot/FSD.No one knows when the first automobile with Level 5 self-driving technology will be available, or which company will produce it. But it is pretty clear that there are some companies that are in strong positions today and that could be important contenders for that title.The following image shows a list of companies that have been approved for testing their vehicles in California without a driver. Some of those companies are even allowed to deploy their tech in the state:ca.govWe see that Google's Waymo holds the permit in both groups, as do Nuro and GM's (GM) Cruise. It seems reasonable to me to assume that the companies with the most advantaged permits are the companies with the most advantaged tech. A couple of other companies are allowed to test their tech in vehicles without a driver, including WeRide and Zoox. Notably, Tesla is not among these companies. It holds a permit to test its technology in California, but only in vehicles with a driver. A total of 50 companies hold that permit according to the government website, thus we can say that holding this permit is \"nothing special\". Many of Tesla's peers, including Mercedes-Benz (OTCPK:MBGYY) and NIO (NIO), hold the same permit.From a regulatory viewpoint, Alphabet's offering in this space seems way more advantaged -- it stands out among the dozens of companies that are active in self-driving tech, while Tesla seems to be in the middle of the pack. The same holds true when we look at commercialization.While Tesla demands money from buyers of its tech even though that is only in beta testing, it is not allowed to commercialize it in a robo-taxi way. Waymo, on the other hand, has deployed its self-driving taxis in several cities including San Francisco, where riders can book rides via Alphabet's apps.Of course, there is no guarantee that Alphabet's lead will hold. It is possible that Tesla eventually manages to hit a home run with its tech. But to me, it does not look like this is the most likely scenario -- it seems more reasonable (to me) to assume that the current leaders with the most advantaged projects will continue to hold their leadership position in this space.Alphabet And Tesla Stock Key MetricsBoth companies have seen their shares drop back this year, which means that their valuations have compressed. In other words, both stocks are cheaper today than they were at the beginning of the year, although that does not necessarily mean that they are cheap in absolute terms.Looking at the earnings multiple for the current year, Alphabet seems quite inexpensive, while Tesla still trades at a premium valuation:Data by YChartsAlphabet is trading at less than 20x forward net profit, for an earnings yield of 5%. Tesla is trading at around 3.5x that valuation, as its earnings yield is in the 1.5% range as its earnings multiple still is north of 70. Of course, one can argue that free cash flows are even more important than net profits. After all, dividends and buybacks are financed with (free) cash, and debt reduction, acquisitions, etc. also depend on a company's ability to throw off cash. In that regard, Alphabet looks even better relative to Tesla. Alphabet's free cash flows are relatively comparable to its net profits, as the trailing free cash flow yield is in the 5% range as well.The same does not hold true for Tesla, as its free cash flow yield of not even 0.7% is just half as high as its earnings yield. The big discrepancy can be explained by the capital-intense nature of the automobile industry. Factories need to be built and retooled regularly, the companies in this space need large amounts of working capital for unfinished products, raw materials, and so on. That's why free cash generation generally is weak in the automobile space, thus this is not a Tesla-specific issue. Instead, Tesla is just performing in line with other automobile companies that have weak cash generation. Alphabet does not need to spend heavily on raw materials, factories, factory retooling, and so on. Its business model is much more shareholder-friendly as operations can be scaled up efficiently without large capital expenditure requirements -- letting users stream one more video on YouTube or see one more ad on Google does not require any meaningful cash outlays on Alphabet's side.Not only does Alphabet look much cheaper than Tesla, but its way stronger free cash generation has also resulted in a way better balance sheet.Data by YChartsTesla has a $16 billion net cash position, which is quite solid. But that's less than 2% of Tesla's market capitalization. Meanwhile, GOOG has a net cash position of $112 billion, which is 7x as much as what Tesla has, and which is equal to more than 8% of Alphabet's market capitalization. Alphabet thus has much more financial firepower for shareholder returns, e.g. via buybacks, for acquisitions, and last but not least, its huge net cash position reduces risks considerably. In case we see a steep global economic downturn, Alphabet's more than $100 billion in net cash insulates the company very well from financial troubles, while Tesla would be more exposed -- not only is its cash \"safety net\" much smaller, but the automobile industry is also more cyclical and vulnerable to recessions relative to the software and communication services industries. In recent weeks we possibly got a glimpse of that, as delivery times for many of Tesla's models declined to just a couple of weeks -- that could be the result of increasing reluctance by consumers to spend heavily on a new vehicle in the current economic climate.When we account for the net cash positions of both companies, Alphabet's undemanding valuation drops to an even lower level:Data by YChartsAt just 12x trailing EBITDA, Alphabet trades at a pretty undemanding valuation, especially when we account for its market leadership and healthy growth. Tesla is trading at 5x Alphabet's EV/EBITDA multiple. It has pretty strong growth as well, at least in the past (see the aforementioned backlog decline and vulnerability to an economic downturn). But with its way weaker cash generation, lower margins, intensifying competitive pressures, and weaker self-driving tech, the current valuation does not seem attractive. One can argue that Tesla would be very attractive at a 12x EBITDA multiple, but at 5x the valuation of Alphabet, Alphabet looks like a significantly more compelling choice to me.Is Alphabet Or Tesla The Better Long-Term Buy?Some Tesla bulls mainly are in it for Tesla's self-driving potential. I don't think Tesla is in a leadership position here, but it is of course possible that the company becomes more successful over time. In case it manages to solve true self-driving anywhere before anyone else, that would result in a lot of earnings potential. But betting on that is not my investment style, and Tesla wouldn't be my first choice even if I wanted to bet on any company solely for its autonomous driving tech.The software/communication services industries offer great margins, strong free cash generation, and long-term growth potential. It also isn't very cyclical. All these things hold true for Alphabet, and the company is an absolute leader in its space. The automobile industry as a whole is significantly less attractive, due to weak margins, high capital intensity, and so on. These things hold true for Tesla as well, even though it's not a legacy automobile company. Tesla has a strong brand in the EV space, but competitive pressures are rising, and BYD (OTCPK:BYDDY) has overtaken it already in total EV sales (including plug-in hybrids). Due to these reasons, I believe that Alphabet is more suitable for a long-term investment. Since it is also way cheaper than Tesla while being one of just a few companies with self-driving cars deployed commercially, I favor it over Tesla.This article is written by Jonathan Weber for reference only.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":67,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":345967841615912,"gmtCreate":1725507147765,"gmtModify":1725507150833,"author":{"id":"4126956022313922","authorId":"4126956022313922","name":"Julianw","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b3e5ee8e00fbd5d2d070fb101e902b5d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4126956022313922","idStr":"4126956022313922"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Share your opinion about this news…","listText":"Share your opinion about this news…","text":"Share your opinion about this news…","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/345967841615912","repostId":"1152986064","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1152986064","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1725500700,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1152986064?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-09-05 09:45","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"SGD/USD: Singapore’s Holidaymakers Toast Strongest Dollar in a Decade","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1152986064","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Exports get crimped by exchange rate, outbound travelers cheerLocal retail, food establishments coming under pressureIt’s been more than a decade since Singapore’s dollar was last this strong against ","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Exports get crimped by exchange rate, outbound travelers cheer</p></li><li><p>Local retail, food establishments coming under pressure</p></li></ul><p>It’s been more than a decade since Singapore’s dollar was last this strong against its US counterpart, and the effects are being felt by everyone from importers and exporters to shoppers and tourists.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The exchange rate touched the highest level since 2014 on Aug. 26, not long after Prime Minister Lawrence Wong highlighted the importance of a strong currency as a shield to help the city-state combat inflation.
